Chapter 683

Author: Glazed Snow
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

    Brittany froze in place.At that moment, Horace yanked his arm free from Jessica's grip and scolded sharply, "What do you think you're doing?"Jessica blinked, caught off guard. "Why are you being so harsh with me?"Horace glanced at Brittany. "Do you even know who she really is?""She's just some sugar baby..." Jessica sneered.Horace snapped, "Enough! Shut up!"Jessica flinched, surprised. "What did I do? Why are you yelling at me?"Horace's voice dropped low and steady. "She's your mother, Brittany."Those words exploded right beside Jessica's ear. She gasped sharply, her breath catching. "What did you say? She's my mother?"Jessica stared at Brittany, disbelief written all over her face.Brittany returned the look, just as stunned. This reunion between mother and daughter was far beyond anyone's expectations.Horace turned to Brittany. "This is our daughter, Jessica."Without hesitation, Jessica stepped forward and hurriedly apologized, "Mom, I'm so sorry! I didn't reco

    Brittany began, "I am—" But Jessica cut her off impatiently. "I don't care who you are. I have zero interest. Now that you've ruined my dress, I want you to grovel and apologize!"Brittany raised an eyebrow. "And what if I don't?"Jessica's eyes flashed dangerously. "Then don't blame me for being rude. Security!"Two black-clad bodyguards appeared immediately. "Yes?"Jessica pointed at Brittany. "Grab her! Make her grovel and apologize to me!""Got it!" the bodyguards answered, closing in on Brittany.Brittany sneered coldly, "Think carefully—if you lay a hand on me, you'll regret it."Jessica smirked, her voice sharp. "Are you threatening me? Once you find out who I am, you'll be so scared your knees will go weak!"Brittany scoffed. "Big talk.""Stop standing there! Grab her!" Jessica barked.The guards moved forward to grab Brittany.Suddenly, a clear voice cut through the tension. "Why, Ms. Larson. Flaunting your status again, I see?"Jessica looked up to see the one p

    "Mr. Larson, I've reserved our finest private room, the Executive Dining Suite, just for you and Ms. Larson. Right this way, please."The restaurant owner led Horace and Jessica toward the exclusive room with practiced hospitality.Jessica felt a tangle of nerves, excitement, and a little fear. "Has Mom arrived yet?"Horace's expression remained unreadable. "We'll find out once we go in.""Mr. and Ms. Larson, here is the Executive Dining Suite. Please come in."The owner opened the door to the private room, and Jessica stepped inside. "Mom!"But the room was empty—Brittany hadn't arrived yet.Horace said, "It's not noon yet. Have a seat and wait."Jessica nodded. "Okay."Just then, a soft, melodic ringtone sounded from Horace's phone—he was receiving a call."I'm stepping out to take this call.""Alright."Horace left, while Jessica kept adjusting her long gown. After a moment, she stood up and went to the restroom to check if her lipstick was smudged.Soon, a striking and

    Stanley glanced at Wendy with curiosity. "What's got you so interested in her?"Wendy's mind flashed back to the day she saw Brittany's portrait in Horace's study. For some reason, she felt a strong pull toward Brittany, a desire to meet the latter in person.A faint smile curved Wendy's lips. "She's a legend in her own right, so I want to meet her."Angela nodded. "Alright, let's go to Vista Dining and meet her."Just then, Bella called out, "Mommy, let's paint together.""Okay, come on," Wendy replied warmly. "I'll take you to paint."Wendy then took Bella with her to paint.Stanley moved closer to Angela and lowered his voice. "Mom, I'm not going to marry Jessica. She kidnapped you and Bella, and caused all this trouble... You wouldn't make me marry her, would you?"Disappointment flickered in Angela's eyes as she recalled Jessica. "I never imagined she could do something like this. I'm really disappointed in her. But the engagement between you and Jessica was arranged by

    Now that Brittany was back, Horace felt his head spinning with frustration."What's wrong? Are you having another headache? Sit still. I'll give you a head massage," Ida said softly, her voice gentle. Horace often suffered from headaches, so she had learned some massage techniques to help him.Horace shook his head. "I have to meet Brittany at noon. I'm going back to my study now."With that, he went upstairs.Ida watched his retreating figure, her heart swirling with jealousy and resentment. Years ago, when the Larson and Brewer families united through marriage, Horace, heir to a great fortune, had met Brittany, a bright, bold woman with a fiery spirit. Though he kept his cool on the surface, he was undeniably drawn to her.For all those years that Brittany had been gone, Horace never stopped searching for her and their daughter.Not for a single moment had he given up.And Ida—who had stayed by Horace's side all these years—had gained nothing. She couldn't accept that.

    Horace gripped his phone tightly. "Jessica's with me. I'll reserve a private room at Vista Dining for noon. You can meet her there."He made the arrangements.Brittany agreed without hesitation. "Alright, see you at noon."At that moment, a young male voice came through Brittany's side of the call. "Brit, where are we going now?"Brit…?Horace furrowed his brow, his patience thinning. "Brittany—"Before he could say more, the call ended abruptly with a dial tone.It was clear that Brittany didn't want to say a word to Horace beyond what was necessary; her daughter was all she cared about.Horace was left speechless.Ida, noticing the storm brewing on Horace's face, already knew the call was from Brittany. No one else in the world could shake his mood like Brittany could.She stepped forward. "Was that Brittany on the phone?"Jessica's heart skipped a beat. "Dad… Was that Mom?"Horace nodded. "Yes. She's back in the country. I've arranged for you two to meet at Vista Dining
