Chapter 704

Auteur: Glazed Snow
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 didn't pull away. He just let her vent her frustration.He lay back down on the bed and wrapped Brittany gently in his arms. "Do you remember Wendy?"Brittany nodded. "Yes, I remember.""She has amazing medical skills. She's the wonder doctor, Dr. Ceylan. She even cured Angela's legs."Brittany smiled brightly. "Really? That's fantastic! I never expected her to be that skilled. For some reason, whenever I see that young woman, I feel this urge to get close to her—but I don't feel the same with Jessica."In truth, Horace felt the same way. However, the DNA test confirmed Jessica was their biological daughter.Horace studied the fatigue in Brittany's pale eyes. "I'll call Wendy and ask her to come take a look at you."Brittany hesitated. "Do you think she'll come? I've only met her once."Horace shrugged. "Let me make the call and see."He picked up his phone.Brittany looked up at him. "You really seem to care about me, although I'm your ex-wife."Horace tightened his

    Brittany looked up at Horace suddenly and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm not feeling well. Please just let me go."Horace knew she was messing with him. He really wanted to put her in her place right then and there—then he recalled how weak she had seemed earlier, to the point of fainting, and held himself back."Are you doing this on purpose?" he growled.She blinked at him with innocent eyes. "Doing what?"Doing this—teasing him, toying with him.Brittany tried to pull her hands away, but Horace grabbed hold of her fingers and tugged them downward.She struggled immediately. "What are you doing?""I want you to help me," he said."No!" she refused."Did I give you the right to refuse?" Horace captured her lips in a kiss.-Jessica stormed back into the villa, fuming. Still seething from the cold reception she had received at Brittany's, she raised her hand and smashed the vase on the coffee table to the floor.With a loud crash, the vase shattered into pieces.

    Brittany teased, "I can't! Haven't I touched every inch of you? And now, you're pretending to be some innocent young man?"Horace went silent.Soon, the buttons on his shirt were undone, one by one, revealing half of his toned chest. Brittany's hand slid over his firm, warm muscles as she clung to him like a seductive snake wrapping around its prey.Horace cleared his throat but let her hold on.The heat from his body eased some of Brittany's tension, though her face remained pale. "What about Jessica…""Don't worry," Horace reassured her. "My people are already following her. Nothing will happen.""It's good that she wants to join my company, but her ambition is way too much. She expects to call the shots from day one. I still need to talk to her."Educating Jessica was quickly becoming the biggest headache for both Horace and Brittany."I understand," Horace replied.Suddenly, Brittany lifted her head and looked at him sharply. "You're getting aroused!"His eyes darkened

    The DNA paternity report confirmed that Jessica was indeed Horace and Brittany's biological daughter.Brittany was stunned. Deep down, she had already convinced herself that Jessica wasn't her child, an instinct every mother knew all too well.But now, with the DNA test right before her eyes that showed Jessica as her daughter, she had no choice but to accept the facts and trust the science.Jessica looked at Horace and Brittany. "What are you doing?"Horace quickly put the DNA report away. Since Jessica was their daughter, they couldn't let her know they had been testing her DNA. "Your mother and I were just going over some documents."Jessica nodded, then stepped forward to link her arm with Brittany's, acting playful. "Mom, your receptionist stopped me from coming in. Do I really need an appointment just to see you?"Brittany glanced at her receptionist. "Next time Jessica comes, just let her in.""Alright, Ms. Brewer," the receptionist replied.Jessica smiled, satisfied. "M

    Horace finally composed himself and said calmly, "Yes, the results are in."He reached out his hand, and the butler handed him the sealed paternity report.Brittany sprang to her feet, her eyes fixed anxiously on the sealed envelope. "Is Jessica really our daughter?"She didn't have a good impression of Jessica. People always said mothers and daughters shared a special bond; Brittany loved her daughter deeply, but she never saw any warmth or closeness from Jessica. It felt strange.She seriously doubted Jessica was truly their biological child."The DNA report just came back. I know how anxious you are about it; I didn't even get a chance to look at it before bringing it right here," Horace said.When it came to their daughter, Horace knew Brittany well. Brittany had nearly died giving birth to her, so there was no way they would take their child's identity lightly."Then stop talking and open the report!" Brittany urged. "I want to see the results."Horace nodded. "Alright."

    The handsome receptionist opened the door to the CEO's office, and Horace stepped inside. Brittany sat confidently in the executive chair, reviewing documents with a pen in hand."Ms. Brewer, Mr. Larson is here," the receptionist announced.Without looking up, Brittany signed her name at the bottom of the papers with a quick flourish. "Please have a seat for a moment. I need to handle this document." Horace's eyes lingered on Brittany. Today, she wore a crisp, white silk blouse paired with a sleek black pencil skirt that hugged her curves. Her tousled curls were casually pinned up, revealing a graceful, slender neckline and a striking profile. She was stunning, impossible to look away from.The front desk attendant turned back to Horace. "Would you like something to drink?""No, thank you. You may leave," Horace replied."Alright," the young man said before slipping away.Only then did Horace feel the room grow a little quieter.Brittany snapped the folder shut and looked up a
