Chapter 993
Chapter 992:
But before Norwood and Joslyn could solidify their schemes, devastating news arrived—the Craig Group’s stock had plummeted into freefall.
Shock gripped Norwood and Joslyn as they scrambled to understand what was happening, only to discover their family name was being destroyed across every platform. Marriage into high society became a fantasy. At this pace, they’d be homeless by dawn.
“How did this nightmare begin? How could it be?” Norwood’s voice cracked as he paced frantically around the room.
Joslyn stood frozen in stunned silence before finally reaching for her phone to call Wanda.
Wanda was still driving toward Harmony Estate, completely unaware of the chaos erupting around her.
Wanda did not know that Milton had publicly declared Lilah his only sister while denying any connection to Wanda herself. Wanda remained ignorant of Trinity’s injuries and was completely oblivious to her family’s financial destruction. Wanda’s mind burned with nothing but white-hot rage over Lilah’s relationship with Cole. When Joslyn’s call pierced through her thoughts, she snapped, “What?” without even attempting basic courtesy.
“Wanda, what catastrophe is unfolding?” Joslyn’s voice trembled with hysteria. “How is Lilah suddenly the legitimate Campbell daughter? And Milton actually claimed he doesn’t know you? The public is destroying our family—we’re staring at bankruptcy p>
“What did you just say?” Blood drained from Wanda’s face completely. She slammed the brakes, her car screeching to a violent stop along the roadside. “Explain everything—now,” she commanded, her voice cutting through the air like shattered glass. How could Lilah possibly be a Campbell? Even if Milton refused to acknowledge her as his sister, how could he completely deny knowing of her existence? What on earth was going on?
Joslyn had expected Wanda to provide answers, but Wanda’s confusion was painfully obvious. She had no patience left for explanations. “Search online yourself,” she said curtly. “You’ll understand everything.” With that, she hung up.

Wanda’s expression darkened into a thundercloud. She frantically unlocked her phone, her fingers racing across the screen as she devoured every piece of news, following the digital breadcrumbs straight to Milton’s post.
When she finished absorbing the complete picture, her complexion had transformed into the color of death itself. How could this be? Lilah—the woman who had stolen Cole from her grasp—was the genuine Campbell heiress. How could she ever extract her revenge now?
Wanda bitterly realized that she possessed no power to make Lilah’s life hell. For the remainder of her existence, she would be condemned to watch Lilah and Cole’s happiness while forcing artificial smiles, perhaps even offering congratulations through gritted teeth.
But then, Wanda shook her head. No. She couldn’t accept this. Yet, her burning resentment had become a luxury she couldn’t afford. The genuine crisis loomed before her. Now that the true heiress had emerged from the shadows, what fate awaited her, an adopted girl? Where would she find refuge? Would the Campbells simply cast her out like discarded trash? Milton had publicly severed all ties with her. Was this his calculated method of stripping her of the Campbell name forever?
