Stanley s voice was calm but firm
Of course you need to find someone who knows Dr C eyl an Isn t Professor Lincoln Trish s mentor You could ask her to reach out to him or
Jessica interrupted her voice trembling with urgency Or who
Samuel mentioned he was familiar with Dr C eyl an He even said she was a woman You could ask him to help you get to the bottom of this Stanley replied before hanging up
Trish now with a clearer direction spoke up

Alright Jessica agreed nodding
The Crone family arrived at the Lincoln family s residence Isabel who knew Jessica wasn t exactly welcoming
Sorry Mr Lincoln s not home so I can t let you in she said firmly

Isabel still held a grudge from the last time Jessica and Sienna had humiliated Halsey so she wasn t about to show Jessica any kindness now
Trish stepped forward her voice full of urgency I m Professor Lincoln s prized disciple I need to speak with him
Isabel shot her a glance and muttered Birds of a feather
Trish was taken a back left speechless
The Crone family stood there frantic and pacing like ants in a frying pan not knowing what to do
Just then a luxury car pulled up Cyril had returned home
Edith s eyes lit up Look Professor Lincoln s back
Trish quickly rushed forward Professor Lincoln
Cyril saw her and raised an eyebrow Trish what brings you here And why is everyone with you
Trish nearly out of breath rushed to explain Professor Lincoln you have to help us Our family is in serious trouble
Cyril raised an eyebrow What happened
Trish hurriedly explained We were scammed by a fake Dr C eyl an He tricked me into falling for him then took our money and vanished We invested everything with him and now he s disappeared with our funds

Cyril burst out laughing unable to hold it in
Edith and the others stared at him shocked
Cyril still chuckling said Sorry I couldn the lp myself So Trish you got scammed by Dr C eyl an I m surprised you thought you could land such a genius And why do you keep referring to Dr C eyl an a saman Dr C eyl an is a woman
Dr.Ceylanwasawoman?
When Samuel had first mentioned this they hadn t believed him now hearing Cyril confirm it they started to realize it was true
Edith s face drained of color and she stomped her foot in frustration
What an absolute waste I had fantasies about Dr C eyl an becoming my grandson in law I even dreamed that Trish and Jessica would have a joint wedding and they would marry Mr Hawk and Dr C eyl an in a grand wedding I thought our family was finally rising to the top
One blow after another shattered Edith s dreams
Cyril gave Edith a knowing look and smirked Your family s luckier than you think
Lilian blinked confused What do you mean
Cyril didn t explain further but added with a hint of dark humor But you all did a great job of throwing out your best assets
Edith was completely bewildered What was he talking about
Archer and Harry were both desperate
“ProfessorLincoln,ourfamilyestateandcompanyhavebeenseizedbythe bank!We’regoingtobeonthestreetstonight!Canyouhelpus?We’dbeforevergrateful.”
