She quickly glanced at Lilian
Without hesitation Lilian stepped forward It wasn t Jessica It was me I was the one who contacted that man with the scar and setup this entire kidnapping
Wendy stared at Lilian Since Lilian had jumped into take the blame it was clear that she and Jessica were desperate
In an attempt to protect Jessica Lilian had taken all the blaze upon herself
Wendy let out a bitter laugh Was this what they called a mother s love
Why?
Wendy was Lilian s biological daughter but Lilian had always treated Jessica as if the latter were her own flesh and blood Wendy wondered what she had done wrong
Being betrayed by her own mother like this stung no matter how many times it happened
Everyone stared at Lilian in shock
“Itwasyou?”
Halsey furious snarled Mrs Crone Wendy is your real daughter You hired thugs to kidnap her and tried to have her killed Are you out of your mind
Lilian hadn t expected the truth to come out She couldn t let Jessica s involvement be revealed If Jessica were exposed her reputation would be ruined and there would be noway she could explain things to Stanley
So Lilian had taken the entire fall
Lilian looked at Wendy I m sorry Wendy I m your mother after all I hope you can let this go
Wendy sneered My mother I remember you and Edith cutting me off along time ago If I continued being your daughter being apart of the Crone family I d probably end up in a ditch somewhere
“Wendyconsideredyoufamily,butyouallwantedher dead.Whatkindofpeopleareyou?”Halseyadded.
Thecrowderuptedinto murmursofdisbelief.
What was Lilian thinking How could a mother do this She hired thugs to kidnap her own daughter while pampering someone else s daughter like a queen
She must be completely blinded by love It s terrifying
Lilian was so furious that she felt sick but with so many people around she couldn tle there motions show In the end both she and Jessica had lost everything in this game
Wendy turned to Jessica You think the flash drive you re holding contains evidence

Samuel looked at Stanley Mr Hawk took the kidnapper I m sure he has already investigated him but found nothing However when I mentioned the flash drive Mr Hawk you didn t expose me We should thankyou for playing along with this little act

Stanley looked back at Jessica Yes I knew

So when Samuel in ent i one d the flash drive having transaction records Stanley immediately knew it was a lie Samuel had been bluffing using a fake flash drive to trip Jessica and Lilian up
This time Jessica and Lilian had covered their tracks well but they had run into high level players like Samuel and Stanley As soon as they acted both men had exposed them
Jessica was on the verge of breaking down She looked at Stanley Whose side are you on Why are you teaming up with outsiders togo after me
Wendy scoffed What do you mean going after you Mrs Crone said she did this for you Why are you so worked up now
Yeah Jessica Halsey added If you really didn t know why wasn t your first reaction to condemn Mrs Crone for hiring thugs to kidnap Wendy Instead you turned you ranger on Mr Hawk What s that about You say you didn t know but noone s buying it
