Chapter 695

Author: Glazed Snow
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

Horace could not be so foolish as to think Jessica should not be punished for attempted murder

    Ida smiled softly. "I'm glad you and your mom have a good relationship. I'm happy for you."Jessica snorted, clearly unimpressed. "You sure know how to put on a show."She glanced around the room, then asked, "Where's Dad?"Ida didn't look at Jessica. Instead, she slowly took a seat at the dining table, picked up her utensils with an elegant grace, and began to eat breakfast."He left early this morning," she said casually.Jessica immediately sensed something was off. For one thing, she hadn't even sat at the table, but Ida had sat down and gotten started with her breakfast. Ida had always been eager to cater to Jessica's every whim—she never dared to behave like this."Where did he go?"Ida took a slow sip of her milk and replied without much interest, "I don't really know. But early this morning, his butler showed up holding what looked like a medical report."A medical report?Jessica's heart tightened, her nerves prickling as she asked, "What kind of report? Dad never m

    Ida hated Brittany with a deep, burning fury. Brittany had stolen the life that should have been hers. Horace and the title of Mrs. Larson were supposed to be hers!Meanwhile, Horace returned to the Executive Dining Suite. Jessica looked up at him, curious. "Where did Mom go?""She had something to take care of, so she left," Horace replied calmly."What? She left?" Jessica pouted, her lips trembling with a hint of childish sulking. "Why didn't she tell me she was leaving?"Horace studied Jessica closely. Before, he hadn't suspected anything was off with Jessica, but after hearing Brittany's insinuations, doubt had crept into his mind about Jessica's true parentage.He realized he should have gotten a DNA test done from the start.But Horace kept his expression carefully neutral. He wouldn't let Jessica see anything on his face. If Jessica were truly his daughter, he couldn't let her find out they were doubting her. And if she weren't, that was even more reason to keep it a s

    Horace watched Brittany's retreating figure, noticing the way she swayed her hips with a teasing grace that was impossible to ignore. The sight was maddening enough to make him laugh bitterly.Ida raised her hand as if to wipe the corner of Horace's mouth. "Are you alright?"But before her hand could reach him, Horace stepped back sharply. "I'm going home first."With that, he turned and left.Ida's hand froze midair. Alone now, she dropped all pretenses. Her expression twisted into one of bitter resentment and cold malice.She hated Brittany.Ida was the daughter of the Larson family's driver. Years ago, her father had died saving Horace's father, and her mother died soon after.Because Horace felt indebted to Ida, he had always looked after her, and they had practically grown up together.Ida had loved Horace deeply, believing she would one day marry him and become Mrs. Larson.But then the Larson and Brewer families suddenly arranged an alliance through marriage, and Horace

    Horace looked at Brittany while reaching out to grasp her chin gently. "Separated for over twenty years? That sounds less like a statement and more like you complaining about feeling lonely and empty. Tonight, I'll make sure to satisfy you properly."Brittany was silent for a moment—then, a smack rang out. She raised her hand and slapped Horace's palm away. "Why don't you go find your first love? After all these years I've been gone, have you two been sleeping in the bed we once shared?"Horace's eyes darkened with cold fury. "How many times do I have to say this? Nothing ever happened between Ida and me!"Brittany raised an eyebrow. "Really? You haven't slept with her in all these years?"Horace snapped, "Don't go assuming things with your filthy mind!"Wait. So he really hadn't been with Ida?"Does that mean you've been occupying yourself with other women all this time? Did you hire secretaries or keep some college student on the side?" Brittany pressed on, her tone playful

    Brittany curled her lips into a sly smile. "Do I hear a hint of jealousy?"Horace stared at her bright, confident grin. "Where was I wrong? Back then, you gave birth, handed our daughter away, and disappeared for twenty years without a word. If I hadn't come looking for you, would you have ever planned on coming back?"Brittany scoffed bitterly. Ida had poisoned her back then, and that woman had been staying by Horace's side. That was why their daughter could never stay in the Capital.When Brittany gave birth, it was a near-death experience. Someone quietly took her away after that. She had been unconscious from the poisoning for years, only waking up recently."Well, the past is the past," Brittany replied. "There's nothing more to talk about now. Let me know when you have the DNA test results. I have things to do, so I'm leaving."She turned sharply to walk away.Fury flared in Horace. He reached out and grabbed Brittany's arm, pushing her hard against the wall. His tall, impo

    Brittany couldn't help but smile. She really adored Wendy's sharp mind and clear insight."I'm back in town today to see my daughter, Jessica. Since we ran into each other, why don't you join us for dinner?"Jessica couldn't believe what she was hearing. What? Brittany was actually inviting Wendy to join their family reunion dinner!She immediately shot out, "No way!"Wendy quickly responded, "I'm in!"Both of them spoke at the same time.Jessica frowned. "How can you be so thick-skinned? You came to our house as a guest last time, and now you want to eat with us? Did you even ask me if you were welcome?"Wendy just loved seeing Jessica get flustered but powerless. "Mr. Larson allowed me to visit your house last time. Now, Ms. Brewer has invited me to dinner. Why would I need to ask you if I'm welcome? Are you questioning your father and mother?"Jessica, hit with a verbal blow, bit her gums hard in frustration.At that moment, Brittany stepped in. "Enough, Jessica. I invi
