Chapter 199 Chapter 199 Edith felt like she was at the peak of her life, basking in the glory brought to her by her two most cherished granddaughters. Jessica and Trish, the two shining stars, both wore smiles that rádiated pride. The second and third branches of the family were all wrapped in a joyful atmosphere. Wendy stood quietly in the corner, watching the bustling and lavish Crone family gathering. She had always been an outsider, never truly a part of their world.
The only contection she had to this family was her father, who had long since passed and been forgotten by everyone here. Suddenly, Wendy felt a gaze land on her face. She looked up and found Stanley's eyes fixed on her. Why was he staring at her? Tonight, he was here with Jessica, standing by her side as her support. It was as if everyone had forgotten that she was Mrs. Hawk How laughable. Wendy shifted her gaze away. "Alright. Now that everyone's here, Mr. Hawk, Dr.
Ceylan, let's begin the dinner," Edith said with a smile. The table was set with a variety of fine dishes and wines, and everyone began to take their seats. Seats had already been arranged. Edith, as the eldest, naturally took the seat of honor. Stanley, Jessica, Harry, and Lilian sat on the left side, while Dr. Ceylan, Trish, Archer, and Natalie took the right side. The whole family seemed to be in perfect harmony. Wendy, however, realized there was no seat for her.

Trish had invited her to dinner, but no one had prepared a place for her. It seemed that Trish just now noticed the oversight. With a smile, she asked, "Wendy, you don't have a seat?"/ At once, every eye in the room turned toward Wendy. She had always been looked down upon by the Crone family and no one had paid attention to her until now. Edith sighed impatiently. "The seats are fixed, and there's no extra space.
Wendy, you'll have to eat with the servants in the kitchen." Lilian, still harboring resentment for Wendy for causing Harry to slap her last time, gave her a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Her voice was laced with malice as she suggested, "How about this? I'll have the servants add a seat in the corner for you. You can eat there." Edith and Lilian were clearly trying to humiliate Wendy, and everyone was watching her, waiting for her to be embarrassed. Dr. Ceylan glanced at Wendy, curious.
"And who might this be?" Trish casually smiled. "She's just a servant in the house." Trish calling Wendy a servant was a slap in the face. Inviting Wendy to dinner was her way of getting back at her for witnessing Trish's humiliation at the Medical Museum when her academic paper was retracted. Now, she was flaunting her success in front of Wendy. 1/2 Chapter 199 Jessica shot Wendy a disdainful glance, thinking she had overestimated herself for wanting to beat her.

She gave a small, almost imperceptible smile. "It's fine. There's no seat for me here, so I'll skip dinner." She turned to Dr. Ceylan. "I actually came back just to meet Dr. Ceylan." Edith scoffed. "Well, guess it's your luck to be around Trish and get to meet Dr. Ceylan through her." Dr.
Ceylan held Trish's hand, and Trish flashed him a sweet smile. Wendy spoke again, her tone indifferent. "Just a word of caution. No one has truly seen Dr. Ceylan before, so you all should be careful of frauds." Frauds? What was she talking about? The room froze. Dr. Ceylan's eyes flickered with a hint of unease. He looked at Wendy, wondering if she had discovered something. But it was impossible. His plan was flawless. Wendy said no more. She simply turned and walked away.
As soon as Wendy left, Edith muttered under her breath, clearly displeased, "What nonsense is she talking about? Is she saying Dr. Ceylan is a fraud?" How could that be? Trish was the first to deny it. Everything about Dr. Ceylan checked out. He was, without a doubt, Dr. Ceylan!
