Chapter 716

Penulis: Glazed Snow
Ida was stunned. "Horace, how could you hit Jessica? She's your daughter!"

Jessica clutched her sore cheek, her voice trembling. "I can't believe you hit me! Why would you do that?"

Horace's face turned ashen, his eyes cold and sharp as he stared at Jessica.

"I think I've spoiled you way too much. Now, you're even criticizing your mother? Brittany's your biological mother. She almost died giving birth to you! You're so selfish—you only ever think about yourself. Just because your mother didn't give you what you wanted, you want to swap her out? Don't you understand what family means?"

This was the first time Horace had ever lost his temper in such a manner.

Both Jessica and Ida froze in shock. No one dared to make a sound.

Jessica's tears finally broke through. "Dad—"

"Don't call me Dad! I'm so disappointed in you!" Horace snarled, then stormed upstairs and locked himself in the study.

Soon after, his butler arrived and went up to the study as well.

    But now, Horace actually found a way to save Brittany, though it came at a terrifying price of his own life. This unexpected move completely blindsided Ida, flipping the situation from her favor to one where she had no control.She absolutely could not let Horace save Brittany. Horace belonged to her!If Horace sacrificed himself to save Brittany and then left all his fortune to her, Ida would be left with nothing.All these years of careful scheming, all the youth she had wasted on Horace—all would have been for naught!Could a villa and some money ever make up for that?Ida looked down on such things.What she wanted was Horace himself, the title of Mrs. Larson, and every last dollar of his fortune.She was convinced that all of it should go to her, and her alone. Ida stepped into Jessica's room, where Jessica was trying on custom gowns she had just received. The past three years as the daughter of the richest man had left her spending recklessly.Since Wendy had arrived in

    Ida froze in place, her body stiffening as if struck by lightning. She stared at Horace in disbelief. "What?! You found a way to save Brittany, but it requires trading your life for hers?"Horace nodded. "Yes, that's right."Ida's breath caught in her throat. She took a step forward, clearly shaken. "Are you really going to give up your life to save her?""I am. I didn't want to keep this from you," he said calmly. "Your father once did a great favor for the Larson family. I owe it to him to make sure you're taken care of before anything happens. It's the least I can do to repay that debt."A debt of gratitude… Was that all their relationship had ever meant to him? Was that truly the only tie between them—a favor repaid, and nothing more?Ida looked at Horace, her voice trembling with emotion. "This is madness! You're still so young; you've built an empire and reached the very top of the business world! How can you throw all that away just to save Brittany? I can't let you do th

    Brittany and Ida had been locked in a bitter struggle for years, and her relationship with Horace had remained frozen in a tense stalemate, yielding no progress.But as soon as Wendy appeared, her subtle strategy immediately shifted the balance, unraveling all the tangled ties between everyone.With her gentle grace and sharp intellect, Wendy truly felt like a little angel, someone impossible not to love.Brittany looked at Wendy. "We've only met once, but you've helped me like this. Why? Why are you helping me?"Wendy smiled softly. "Even though we've only met once, I like you very much, so of course, I'm happy to help you. But I should warn you—there's some personal history between me and your daughter, Jessica. If she sees us together, she's likely to react very strongly."Brittany thought about how different Jessica and Wendy were. Jessica was spoiled and headstrong, always demanding top luxury brands, which often frustrated Brittany to no end. Yet Wendy not only treated her

    Brittany gasped sharply, her breath catching. "Horace, are you crazy? If you give your cardiogen, you're as good as dead! I don't want you trading your life for mine. You don't have to do this, and I don't want to owe you that much!"Horace didn't look at Brittany. His gaze was fixed on Wendy. "Let's get started."Brittany grabbed his arm tightly. "No, I don't want you to do this! Do you hear me? Wendy, don't listen to him. I won't agree!"Wendy watched the tense pair and let out a small, knowing smile. "Mr. Larson, there's no rush to cure Ms. Brewer. I can give her an injection to temporarily suppress the poison inside her. But since you've decided to make this sacrifice, you probably have many things to settle. After all, you have a vast business empire and a huge inheritance to manage. How about this—why don't you go home and put your affairs in order first, then come back when you're ready for the treatment?"Wendy was giving Horace time to get his affairs in order, to prep

    Horace tumbled off the bed and landed hard on the floor with a loud thud.Wendy had just stepped into the room and caught the entire scene. The legendary titan of the business world, Horace, had actually been kicked off the bed by Brittany."Pfft!" She couldn't help it—a chuckle burst out of her.Horace climbed to his feet, brushed himself off, and shot Brittany a sharp look before turning to Wendy. "What are you laughing at?""Sorry, I wasn't trying to laugh…but I really can't hold it in. Haha!"Horace's lips twitched as he wondered when she'd be done laughing. She'd be rude if this went on any longer.Brittany turned to Wendy and offered a polite smile. "Ms. Crone, thanks for coming all this way."Wendy stepped inside, clearly at ease. She liked Brittany from the moment they met. "Ms. Brewer, I felt an instant connection with you. If you don't mind, you can just call me Wendy like Mr. Larson does."Brittany's lips curved into a small smile. "Alright, Wendy.""Give me your
