Chapter 392
Trish pleaded her voice desperate Professor Lincoln please help us think of something We re out of options Cyril shook his head Well you ve come to the wrong person It s someone else you have to ask for help Who Trish asked her tone filled with anticipation
Cyril simply answered Wendy
“What?”TheCronefamily memberswerestunned.”WhyWendy?Whatcanshepossiblydotohelpus?”
Is she going to help us catch that fake Dr C eyl an Is she going to save the Crone family bring us back from the brink
Jessica and Trish s faces were filled with disdain They couldn t believe that Wendy would have the ability to solve their problem
“Shetan,”Cyril replied.
What The Crone family was in disbelief
Cyril gave them a cryptic look I ve pointed you in the right direction What you do with it is up to you
With that Cyril turned and walked inside
Edith still in shock asked Why would Professor Lincoln tellus togo to Wendy
Lilian shook her head Wendy s just a housewife I can t believe she could do anything to help us
We don t believe it either another muttered
Professor Lincoln s advice doesn t make sense Now it looks like our only choice is togo to Samuel for help Since Cyril couldn t assist them the Crone family had no other option but to ask Samuel for help
The Crone family found themselves at Samuel s doorstep But the maid blocked their way saying Sorry you can t come in
It felt like the Crone family was running into nothing but dead ends constantly being rejected
Jessica said carefully Hi We really need to speak with Mr Samuel
Wai there I ll let him know you re here the maid replied before closing the door with a sharp click

The evening had fallen and the Crone family had not eaten all day Exhausted Jessica felt a chill creeping in She hugged herself for warmth
It s so cold she thur mu red
Then light rain began to fall the first signs of a storm approaching
Edith slapped her thigh in frustration It s going to rain It s like the heavens a returning against us
Trish equally cold wrapped her arms around herself They huddled together under the eaves trying to stay dry

Trish could hardly find the words to defend herself
ArcherandNatalieimmediatelysteppedintoprotectTrish”It’s notentirelyherfault.Jessicadidn’t help,either.”
They turned their attention to the second branch
Edith s eyes narrowed as she focused on Jessica Jessica you ve got no backbone Mr Hawk and Wendy have been divorced forages and you still haven t managed to take her place as Mrs Hawk Now Mr Hawk won t even lift a finger to help us That just goes to show you mean nothing to him
Jessica s face turned pale her expression filled with a sense of unfairness
Harry and Lilian frustrated pointed at Trish and her parents What are you doing How could you blame everything on Jessica
The second and third branches began to argue among themselves tempers flaring It looked like a fight was about to breakout
Edith fed up snapped Enough All you do is argue and it s getting us nowhere What happened to the Crone family s two golden girls You re utterly useless
