Chapter 546

Author: Glazed Snow
Horace looked at Jessica with a soft, affectionate gaze before turning his eyes toward Wendy.

It was the second time he had encountered Wendy.

Wendy, her eyes still red from crying, met his gaze. Her once-clear eyes, now brighter after the tears, locked with his.

Just then, Trish spoke up, "Mr. Larson, you came at just the right time! Wendy was bullying Jessica again."

Jessica, ever the understanding one, stepped in, "Dad, it's okay. I'm your daughter now, and Wendy must be feeling jealous and upset. Let her get it out of her system."

Horace's gaze hardened as he looked at Wendy. "I don't know what has caused such a deep hatred between you and my daughter, and frankly, I don't need to know. But one thing's for sure: I hope you won't bully Jessica anymore."

It was a warning from Horace to Wendy.

Wendy looked at him coolly. "Mr. Larson, maybe you should focus more on Jessica's heart condition. If not, I'm afraid you might find yourselves parting ways before you even really get to

Horace should be investigating Jessica’s past and getting a dna test instead of trying to placate her at every turn. He doesn’t know about all of her nasty schemes while she’s been with the Crones.

  • The Heartbreak Prescription   Chapter 1004

    Halsey pulled out a voice recorder from her pocket and looked straight at Gilbert and Chelsea. "I recorded our entire conversation just now. This is evidence of your crimes. With both physical proof and a witness, you'll be spending the rest of your lives behind bars. Don't even think about getting out!"Gilbert and Chelsea gasped. They hadn't seen this coming—it was all part of Halsey's plan, and she had even recorded it."Give me that recorder!" Chelsea tried to snatch it away.But Halsey handed it directly to one of the officers. "Here you go, officer.""Got it." The officer nodded, taking the recorder. Then, he turned to Gilbert and Chelsea. "You have the right to remain silent. We'll see you in court."Chelsea's face twisted with anger as she growled at Halsey, "I really underestimated you! I can't believe I actually lost to you!""I told you a long time ago—Shaun was never yours," Halsey said calmly. "You kept coveting something that never belonged to you. Now it's time t

    Halsey chuckled. "Did something just click for you two?"Warren looked at Halsey in disbelief, then turned to Shaun. "Did you guys already figure out that Gilbert and Chelsea were going to make a move tonight? So you played along on purpose?"Shaun nodded. "That's right."A few hours earlier, Shaun and Halsey had been in the study when Shaun got a call from Warren.Shaun had turned him down right away. It was late, and no amount of money was more important than Halsey and his baby. He was staying home to be with them.However, Halsey wrapped her arms around his neck and insisted that he go to the company.Someone as alert as Shaun sensed something was off immediately. "Why do you insist that I go to the office?" he asked. "It feels like you're hiding something."Halsey smiled sweetly at him. "Like what?"Shaun frowned. "Like… I seriously think you're trying to get me out of the way so you can sneak off again."That made Halsey laugh. "Do you seriously think I'll run off?"S

    Gilbert raised the knife and lunged toward Halsey's stomach.Chelsea laughed with joy. She had finally gotten what she wanted—Halsey and the baby would be gone from her life for good!Just as Gilbert's blade was about to strike, a small rock suddenly flew through the air and hit his hand square on."Argh!" Gilbert cried in pain, and the knife clattered to the ground. "What the hell just happened?"Both Gilbert and Chelsea turned around at the same time, just in time to see the warehouse door get kicked open. A group of officers stormed in."Hands up! Don't move!"The police had arrived—the authorities actually showed up!This sudden turn of events left Gilbert and Chelsea stunned. Still trying to recover, Gilbert shouted, "Where is everyone?! Where are my men?"The black-clad bodyguards had already been forced to the ground. "Mr. Greenwood, we've been surrounded!""What?!"Surrounded? How was this possible?Gilbert couldn't believe what he was hearing. They had planned e

    Halsey told Gilbert that she loved Shaun.Gilbert was fuming. How dare she lie to him and provoke him!He grabbed Halsey by the neck and tightened his grip. "Are you really not afraid to die?"Halsey's face turned an even deeper shade of red. "I am afraid! I can't bear to leave the baby inside me, and I can't leave Shaun. But more than death, I can't stand the thought of being with someone like you. You disgust me!"Gilbert snapped, "I'm gonna—"Just then, the warehouse door swung open, and someone rushed in."Gilbert!"It was Chelsea.Gilbert released Halsey's throat, and a rush of fresh air filled her lungs. She coughed twice, struggling to breathe.He turned to Chelsea. "What the hell are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Shaun and Warren?"Chelsea looked serious. "Warren's starting to suspect me."Gilbert's expression changed. "What are you talking about? Hasn't he always trusted you? He's never doubted you before.""I don't know what happened. Something just feels

    Halsey took a step back. "Wake up, Gilbert! What you're doing is murder—it's against the law!"Gilbert sneered. "I did the same to Shaun three years ago. If I did it once, I can just as easily make you disappear without a trace."Halsey's long lashes trembled. "So it really was you who went after Shaun three years ago!"Gilbert gritted his teeth. "Yeah, but the guy just wouldn't die. He actually survived! And now, he's come back as some hotshot in the business world. I wish he'd just die already."Halsey's voice shook. "What exactly did you do to him three years ago?"Gilbert gave a cold, twisted laugh. "He was already badly injured, so I had someone drag him into a car. We took him to the edge of a cliff. I poured acid on his face, ruined it completely, and then I pushed the car off the cliff, with him still inside."Halsey had suspected it, but hearing the whole story out loud made her gasp."You're a monster! You actually threw acid on his face?"Gilbert laughed manically. "

    Shaun's face was clouded over with worry. "Halsey? Halsey! Where are you?"He took the stairs two at a time and pushed open the master bedroom door, but it was empty—no one was there."Halsey? Halsey!"Warren followed behind, and his heart dropped to the floor. "She's not home? Where could she have gone?"He started to panic. "Her phone isn't connecting either. She's gone... Do you think something happened to her? Could it be…she was telling the truth?"Shaun turned sharply to look at him. "What did Halsey say?"Warren didn't dare hide it any longer and came clean on the spot. "She said Chelsea's teamed up with Gilbert, and they're working together!""What?!" Shaun was stunned.Warren kept going. "At first, I didn't believe it. We've known Chelsea for so many years—how could she possibly work with Gilbert? She knows he's our worst enemy! Could she really have contacted him? Did Gilbert take Ms. Mallin away, just like last time?"Shaun grabbed Warren by the collar. "Last time
