Chapter 185

Author: Glazed Snow
It was Nathan!

Nathan had returned with the car, and as soon as he saw someone aiming a knife at Wendy, he lunged forward without hesitation.

The blade pierced deep into his chest.

"Wendy!" Nathan's name escaped Wendy's lips in a sharp gasp.

Stanley, seeing the danger, rushed toward Wendy, but he was still too far away to intervene in time. After watching Nathan take the knife for Wendy, Stanley kicked down two of the black-clad men blocking his path and ran as fast as he could.

Just then, Zayn and a group of bodyguards burst onto the scene, surrounding the area.

Outnumbered, Lionel and his men were quickly captured.

Jessica ran toward Stanley and wrapped her arms tightly around him. "Stanley!"

Stanley was forced to stop. He wanted to push her away and get to Wendy and Nathan, but Jessica clung to him desperately. "Don't go, Stanley! I'm so scared!"

On the ground, Nathan lay still, a pool of blood spreading around him. Wendy immediately knelt beside him, pres

    "I've had heart problems since I was young," Jessica sobbed, her voice thick with emotion. "I've always been incomplete. I finally found you, Dad, but you don't love me. I had to use despicable means to try and earn your affection."Tears streamed down her face, each one a silent testament to her pain.Horace's gaze was complex as he looked at Jessica. "You don't have to do that. It's all my fault. I've neglected your feelings...""We've been apart for so many years. When I thought we'd finally be together again, I hoped you would treat me well, that you would love me unconditionally and spoil me...but I was wrong. My mom is long gone, and now, I just want to go find her. I want to tell her that you don't love me."The mention of Brittany struck Horace like a knife to the heart. His expression softened; the harshness melted away from his eyes, replaced by something tender. He stepped closer to Jessica, his voice quiet and filled with regret. "Jessica, I'm so sorry. It's all my fa

    Wendy turned to Horace, her gaze sharp. "Why did Lilian suddenly die? Why did she just crash into a wall like that?"Horace looked troubled. "I'm not sure, either."Wendy stared at the lifeless form of Lilian, her heart heavy with mixed emotions. Though Lilian had never shown her any maternal love and had caused her pain time and time again, Wendy had never once wished for Lilian's death.Her pale eyes began to redden, tears slowly gathering at the corners before they spilled down her cheeks, heavy and uncontrollable.At that moment, the sound of the butler's voice reached them from outside. "Mr. Larson, something's wrong!"Horace immediately turned to the butler. "What happened?""Ms. Jessica is gone!"What? Jessica was missing?Horace rushed out of the room, running straight into Jessica's. The room was eerily empty. There was no sign of her anywhere."Jessica! Jessica!" Horace called out desperately, his eyes frantic as he turned to the butler. "When did she disappear?""J

    Jessica gripped Lilian's shoulders tightly. "Mom, please, help me. If you just take all the blame, you can save me! You can protect me!"Lilian looked at Jessica, her heart heavy with years of regret. She had spent her whole life paving the way for Jessica, placing all her hopes on the latter. She had taught Jessica to climb to the top, no matter the cost—including stealing the identity Stanley's lifesaver and the title of the richest man's daughter. She had silently allowed it all to happen.But now, it all came back to haunt her. She was reaping the consequences of her choices.It was her own selfishness, her own actions, that had shaped Jessica into who she was today.And now, Lilian was about to be betrayed by her flesh and blood."But I'm your mother... How can you be so heartless…?"Jessica dropped to her knees in front of Lilian and grabbed the hem of Lilian's pants. "Mom, I have no choice! I have to make you disappear. If you love me, you'll help me. Please, I'm begging

    Lilian held Jessica's hand tightly, her eyes filled with hope. Right now, Jessica was her only hope. She truly believed that Jessica would save her.Jessica looked at Lilian and said softly, "Mom."Lilian immediately wrapped her arms around Jessica. "Yes, darling?"Jessica didn't pull away. She let her mother hold her, but there was a hint of worry in her voice as she said, "Horace is starting to doubt my background.""What?" Lilian stiffened, her heart skipping a beat. "Why would he doubt your background?""Because I went to him to plead for you. I wanted him to let you go, but he thinks you've killed someone, so he won't release you. I groveled and begged him, but he said you're just my foster mom, not my real mom. That was when he started to question where I really came from." Jessica's voice cracked with frustration and a bit of guilt.Lilian was deeply moved. "I can't believe you did that for me. I thought you'd forgotten about me.""Of course not! Back in the hospital, w

    Edith pinned Lilian to the ground, relentlessly punching and kicking her.Lilian, battered and bruised, cried out in pain, her voice trembling. "Stop, please! It hurts so much... Please, just stop!"Horace's cold voice cut through the chaos. "Take her away."Several bodyguards in black entered and swiftly restrained Lilian, dragging her away.Edith collapsed beside Harry, sobbing uncontrollably. "Harry! Harry, how could you go before me? I can't do this anymore…"-The Crone family began making arrangements for Harry's funeral. Jessica, filled with anxiety, couldn't shake the fear that Lilian might say something, especially now that she was under Horace's control.Jessica went to find Horace, who was in his study, speaking with the butler.She quickly hid just outside the door, straining to hear their conversation. She caught Horace asking the butler, "Has Lilian said anything?"The butler lowered his voice, replying, "She's tight-lipped; she won't say a word. But we did find

    Stanley immediately scooped Wendy up into his arms. "Someone, get a doctor!"With urgency, he rushed out, carrying Wendy in his arms.Lilian stood frozen, her gaze locked on Harry's lifeless body, surrounded by blood. Her hands trembled uncontrollably, and tears began to spill down her face. "Harry! Why did you take that knife for Wendy? I didn't want you dead! I've given you my youth, my entire life, and yet you betrayed me! Please, don't blame me. Don't hate me for this…"Jessica panicked. "Pull yourself together! Wendy's still alive! Our plan failed."Lilian turned to her daughter, her voice shaky. "Harry was your father, too. He raised you all these years, treating you like royalty. Don't you feel any sadness? Any grief?"Jessica glanced at Harry's body on the floor, her face cold and filled with bitterness. "Why should I be upset? If he hadn't stepped in, Wendy would've been dead. He ruined everything for me! He didn't love me enough!"Lilian's face tightened. "How—"Befo

    Harry collapsed, and Wendy quickly pressed her hands over his wound. "Hang in there," she said urgently. "I'll treat you right away!"She couldn't believe what had just happened. Never in her wildest thoughts did she expect Harry would throw himself in front of her like that, taking the knife meant for her.Harry gave a small shake of his head. He already knew—it was too late. He was at the end of the road. His eyes, full of guilt and regret, locked on Wendy. There was so much he wanted to say, but all he could manage was a strained, broken whisper. "I'm…sorry…"As the words left his lips, his hand dropped limply to the side, and he closed his eyes.Wendy clutched him. "Don't give up! I can save you! Just hold on a little longer…"Lilian crouched beside them and placed her fingers beneath Harry's nose. There was no breath.Harry was gone.He had died, and it was by her hand.Wendy looked up at Lilian, her voice trembling with shock and disbelief. "Why would you do this? You

    Wendy was stunned. She had always known how much Harry loved Jessica—perhaps more than anyone else. But now, Harry's attitude had completely shifted, turning 180 degrees, and he was calling Jessica a liar.What had Jessica lied about?Wendy looked at Harry, her confusion deepening. "Jessica's a liar? What exactly did she lie about?"Harry nodded, his excitement growing. Then, he carefully began to write on Wendy's palm. "She..is…not..."Not what? What was Jessica not?Harry was about to write the word "Ms. Larson", intending to explain that Jessica wasn't Horace's daughter. But just then, there was a sudden sound—the door to the room swung open, and someone stepped inside.Wendy looked up to see Jessica and Lilian walking into the room.Jessica pushed forward and shoved Wendy aside. "What do you think you're doing? Why are you so close to my dad? Are you trying to harm him?"Wendy stood up, her brows furrowing as she met Jessica's gaze. "Why are you so worked up?"Jessica gl

    Jessica was incredibly selfish. Over the years, Harry had devoted himself entirely to her, treating her like his own flesh and blood, cherishing and indulging her. Yet, she felt nothing for him. Any obstacle in her path, any stone that stood in her way, she wanted to kick it aside with all her might."Harry was initially a vegetable, completely unresponsive. But Edith had Wendy perform needle therapy on him, and now he's awake. We need to find a way to stop your secret from being exposed!" Lilian said. Jessica's eyes narrowed, turning cold and calculating. "We should make Wendy disappear."Lilian blinked in surprise."Wendy is the source of all this trouble. Once she's gone, everything she has will be mine!" Jessica declared. Right now, all she wanted was for Wendy to be dead.Lilian nodded, her eyes filled with malice. "She should have died a long time ago. We left her in the countryside as a child, but she somehow survived. Well, now it's time for her to disappear for good!
