Chapter 677

Author: Glazed Snow
The sound of running water echoed from the bathroom—Wendy was already showering.

Stanley stood by the window and slid it open, letting a cool breeze drift inside, easing the heat that clung to his body.

Just thinking about Wendy's graceful, mature figure stirred a fire deep inside him.

Memories from three years ago, when they were tangled in a desperate embrace, flooded his mind, making it impossible to hold back his feelings.

He missed Wendy so badly, more than he thought he would.

Soon, the water stopped flowing. Stanley closed the window just as the door opened, and Wendy stepped out.

Since she couldn't wear that lingerie, Wendy had rummaged through the bathroom cabinet and pulled out one of Stanley's white dress shirts.

The oversized shirt draped loosely over her petite, graceful frame. Her legs, bare and slender, stretched out beneath the shirt. Her feet slipped into simple white slippers. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her back, fresh from the shower.

She looked like a

    Stanley took hold of Wendy's hand. "Let's go."He started leading her out, but Wendy quickly pulled her hand free from his grasp. "You should go. I'm doing fine here. I plan to stay for a few days."Stanley looked at her, confused. "Stay here? You're not even related to Mr. Larson! Why do you want to stay at his house?"He had already noticed that Horace treated Wendy differently. For instance, no one else was allowed in Horace's study, but Wendy had somehow managed to be in there. Horace seemed unusually lenient toward her.Wendy smiled faintly. "He's a good person. You don't have to doubt his character.""Good person? I think you're being a little biased!"Wendy didn't know why she felt so warmly toward Horace—it was like a closeness born from family ties, something instinctive."I'm here to save Bella and Mrs. Angela.""How do you plan to do that?""Jessica is under house arrest. I'm sure she won't last long without slipping up."Stanley frowned. "Why are you acting on you

    Horace glared at Wendy, his brow tightening with displeasure. "You'd better watch it!"Everyone knew Brittany was a thorn deeply lodged in Horace's heart—no one dared to touch that subject. But Wendy not only dared to touch it, she openly mocked him right here. This girl was truly bold.Wendy met his gaze calmly. "Which part of what I said was wrong?"Horace paused, then said firmly, "Nothing ever happened between Ida and me."Wendy tilted her head, unfazed. "If nothing happened, then why did Ms. Brewer misunderstand?"Horace paused before answering, "She was just petty and jealous."Wendy's eyes glinted with a sharp edge. "You're funny, Mr. Larson. When things went wrong, you said it was because she was petty and jealous. If there were no other women around you, how could she be jealous? In other words, knowing how jealous she is, why did you still keep other women close to you?"Horace was left speechless.Before, Brittany's drama had given him headaches. Now, with Wendy he

    Jessica was speechless. Wendy's smooth, sly words had pushed her right to the edge.Horace looked at Jessica, urging, "Say something, Jessica."What could Jessica say? If she kept silent, Horace might start to suspect her for real.Finally, she said, "I made plans with Sienna. We wanted to go dancing at a bar. I just want to go out and have some fun.""No!" Horace snapped. "It's too late to be out. You need to get to bed early.""Dad, I—""Your mom will come back to see you in a few days."What?Jessica's eyes widened in shock. "Mom's coming back? But... I thought she was dead.""She's not dead," Horace said firmly. "She's coming back to see you."Jessica was speechless again. She had always believed Brittany was gone for good. But now, somehow, she was still alive.If Brittany returned, wouldn't her secret be exposed?Wendy was Brittany's real daughter. The connection between mother and daughter was far stronger than between father and daughter. Now, Wendy was staying at t

    Jessica was frazzled. "I'm not standing you up! My dad came back, and something came up here.""Well, how do we know if you're telling the truth? You promised to pay us more, but you haven't given us money, and you don't even show up! What else are we supposed to think?""I'll give you more money, but not right now," Jessica tried to explain. "Enough, stop yelling at me! It's late, and my dad should be asleep. I'm coming over right now.""Alright. We hope you really show up this time.""How are they doing?" Jessica asked."They're fine. We wouldn't dare make a move without your orders."Jessica was actually furious. If those people hadn't taken Angela, she wouldn't be in so much trouble. Bella would've been easy to take care of.She hung up and stood up, quietly stepping out of her room. The huge mansion was silent; everyone was presumably asleep. She crept down the stairs, carefully opened the front door, and tried to leave.The moment the door swung open, a group of men in bl

    Wendy turned her head and saw a woman dressed in a flowing gown. Her name was Ida Olsen, a classic beauty in her forties with soft, delicate, well-maintained features.Wendy had never seen a woman close to Horace before. She had heard that Horace and his original wife, Brittany, had divorced some years back.Wendy looked at Ida and asked, "Mr. Larson, who is she? How should I address her?"Horace glanced at Ida and said, "Just call her Ms. Olsen. That's what everyone here calls her. Ida, this is Ms. Crone."When Horace said "Ms. Olsen", Wendy caught a flicker of disappointment flash across Ida's eyes. However, it vanished almost immediately.Ida smiled politely. "Hi, Ms. Crone."Wendy responded with a nod, "Hi, Ms. Olsen."Ida turned to Horace and asked, "Why have you been abroad so long this time?"Horace pressed his lips together. "I finally found Jessica's mother."What?!Wendy was stunned. She hadn't been sure whether Jessica's mother was still alive, but now, Horace had

    Jessica couldn't believe it. She never imagined Wendy would have the nerve to show up at the Larson family's estate, home of the richest man.Jessica snapped, "We're not on friendly enough terms for you to just drop by my house. You're not welcome here. You should go!"She was already starting to kick her out.Wendy lifted her brows, but made no move to leave. Since she had come to the Larson family's estate, she had no intention of walking out so easily.She glanced at Horace before saying, "But Mr. Larson himself allowed me to come. Mr. Larson, I don't suppose you'd go back on your word and kick me out now, would you?"Wendy trusted Horace's character. A man like him would never do something so petty as to send her away.Sure enough, Horace looked at Jessica and said, "Since it's Wendy's first time in the Capital, let her stay. I brought her here straight from the airport."Jessica's eyes widened. "Dad!"Horace commanded the maid, "Bring the tea."He walked into the living r
