Chapter 104\u00a0<\/p>\n
The media conference had been a complete disaster for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian immediately said, \u201cWendy, I\u2019m sorry. I misunderstood you earlier. Let me explain. I had no idea\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy turned to look at her. \u201cAre you sure about that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, a police officer stepped forward and addressed Lilian. \u201cLilian Landon, you hid and assisted George during his escape. We reasonably suspect that you are an accomplice. Please come with us for questioning\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two officers grabbed Lilian by the arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her head buzzed. She remembered that, when George escaped, she had indeed sheltered him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian stared at Wendy in disbelief. \u201cYou\u2019re behind this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy had arranged for Zayn to release George, knowing all along that he would try to approach the Crone family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy looked at Lilian innocently, a slow, almost knowing smile creeping across her face. \u201cI don\u2019t understand what you\u2019re talking about. Mom, you don\u2019t need to explain to me. You should go explain yourself to the authorities.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian was left speechless. \u201cYou little\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, George, being dragged away, cried out in desperation, \u201cI don\u2019t want to go to prison! Mrs. Crone, help me! Please, help me!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone\u2019s gaze immediately shifted to Lilian as whispers filled the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her \u201cgood mother\u201d image was about to shatter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian\u2019s face drained of color. \u201cShut up! Someone make him shut up!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The reporters began to murmur, \u201cThat scoundrel, George, was imprisoned ten years ago for child molestation. How could Mrs. Crone not know about that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe knew and still kept associating with a guy who hurt her own daughter\u2026 What kind of mother is this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard Mrs. Crone\u2019s just an old, desperate woman, crawling after Harry and then after Jessica.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lilian\u2019s face twisted in fury. She hated being labeled like that\u2013absolutely hated it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo! That\u2019s not true!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tried to say more, but the officers quickly grabbed her, one on each side, and began dragging her away. Jessica stood frozen, her mind racing. She was in a panic. What was happening? What was she supposed to do? t they This media conference had backfired in the worst possible way. They were trying to tear Wendy dowr ended up destroying their reputation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica tried to call out to Lilian, but as the crowd turned to stare, her voice caught in her throat, She immediately fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The most confused person in the room was Benny. He could barely comprehend what was happening.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then, he noticed a pair of clear, striking eyes staring at him\u2013it was Wendy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Actually, Benny felt a little guilty. He hadn\u2019t known about the things Wendy had gone through.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right then, Wendy approached him, her voice calm and casual. \u201cMr. Gondale, are you hungry?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny was taken aback by her strange question.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A moment later, Wendy smiled and added, \u201cIf you\u2019re thirsty, you should eat some walnuts. It\u2019s good for your brain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And with that, she walked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPfft.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cecelia let out a quiet laugh before following Wendy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny, now snapping back to reality, blinked in confusion. She wanted him to eat some walnuts for his brain? Did she really think he was that much of an idiot?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Any trace of guilt disappeared as if it had never been there. Benny was now seething with rage. \u201cWendy, get back here and explain yourself!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Jessica approached him. She couldn\u2019t afford to lose Benny now. She said in a pitiful tone, \u201cBenny, I don\u2019t know how this happened. How could George be such a monster?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Benny looked at her, his face dark with disdain. \u201cDon\u2019t talk about that scum. He won\u2019t be coming out again\u2013he\u2019ll die in there. Jessica, don\u2019t blame yourself. You\u2019re beautiful and kind\u2013hearted\u2013he fooled you with his facade.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
