Chapter 789

Penulis: Glazed Snow
Ida put on a show of concern.

"Horace, Wendy is just an outsider, while Jessica is your one and only real daughter. You need to think this through carefully. Don't break Jessica's heart for an outsider—you'll lose your true daughter if you do."

"After all the mistakes you've made, you still show no sign of regret! Instead, you push others into a corner. Is there a line?" Halsey snapped.

Jessica curled her lips into a cold smile. "No matter what I've done, I'm still the Larson family's true heiress! Nothing can change that."

Halsey was left speechless. "You little…"

Brittany glanced at Halsey and shook her head. "Let it go."

Halsey snorted in frustration.

Jessica turned back to her parents. "So? Have you made up your minds? Who do you choose, Wendy or me?"

Just then, someone murmured, "Look, Ms. Wendy is coming downstairs."

All eyes shifted upward as the center of attention, Wendy, made her descent.

Tonight, Wendy wore a flowing white satin gown that hugged her curves perfect

    Shaun nodded. "Yes."Halsey hesitated. "Maybe we should ask someone to book two rooms for us."She started to step toward the door.But Shaun grabbed her arm and gently pushed her back until she was pressed against the wall."Wh-what are you doing?" she asked, surprised.Shaun propped his hand against the wall, trapping her in his embrace. A playful smile curved his lips. "Aren't we a couple? If you go out and have them book two rooms, and William finds out, then our secret's out. Do you want to get kicked out?"Halsey shook her head quickly. "I don't want to get kicked out! But…doesn't it feel weird for us to shower here?"Shaun grinned. "What's weird about it? Do you want to…take a shower with me?"He emphasized the last few words, making Halsey's eyes widen in shock. "Definitely not!""If you don't want to, then we'll take a shower separately. What's weird about that?" Shaun challenged.Halsey fell silent. He made a good point—there was no reason to feel awkward if they ea

    Shaun's low, smooth voice glided smoothly into Halsey's ear. "When you play, keep your posture tall and steady. Aim straight ahead, gather strength in your arms, and swing with purpose. As long as you stay focused and head toward the goal you want, you'll succeed."His tone was gentle and patient, like a dedicated teacher guiding her through each step.Halsey's thoughts drifted to Dwight, and she said quietly, "You keep reminding me of someone.""Who?" Shaun asked.Halsey didn't answer.Shaun lowered his gaze, studying her. "Why aren't you answering? Is it your ex?"Halsey nodded. "Yeah.""Do you still keep in touch?"She gave a bitter smile. "We haven't talked in three years.""Why do you think of him now? Do you still have feelings for him?"Shaun asked directly if she still had feelings for Dwight.Halsey looked up at Shaun. "Thank you for the lesson. I think I've got it."She cut the conversation short, as she didn't want to go down that road anymore.Shaun released

    At that moment, Halsey felt a dark, heavy gaze fall squarely on her face. She looked up and met Gilbert's eyes.He had witnessed every subtle, teasing moment between her and Shaun just now, and he was furious. The contrast between the way she treated him and Shaun only flared his anger even more.Halsey had been feeling a little awkward, but under Gilbert's sharp stare, she refused to back down. She shot him a defiant glare. "It's Shaun's turn to play now. He's not going to lose to you!"Gilbert smirked. "I'll be watching closely."Shaun took the golf club from Gilbert. Halsey cheered him on right where she stood. "Go, Shaun!"Shaun glanced at her, then focused on the hole ahead, club in hand. The next second, he swung, and the ball sailed smoothly right into the hole.Halsey was stunned. She hadn't expected Shaun to be this good. His movements were fluid and precise—more polished, even, than Gilbert's, who had been playing golf since he was a kid. And he looked absolutely cool

    Halsey, Shaun, Gilbert, and William teamed up for a round of golf. Halsey paired with Shaun, while Gilbert naturally joined William. The match was set: best two out of three.Gilbert gripped his golf club confidently. As the heir of a wealthy family, he had played golf since he was young and was known for his skill.With a smirk aimed at Halsey, Gilbert said, "I'm not going to go easy on you. Just watch how I beat you at golf!""Don't just talk big. We'll see who wins!" Halsey shot back.Gilbert's confidence didn't waver. "You're about to find out."He took his stance, lined up his shot with a casual ease, then swung smoothly. The golf ball soared and landed perfectly in the hole on the first try.William applauded. "That was an impressive shot."Golf had been Gilbert's game since childhood, so this was just a steady, practiced performance. He looked at Halsey with a triumphant grin. "See that? That's one point for me. Now let's see what Mr. Lane can do."Halsey knew Gilbert

    "Mr. Payne, I really am Shaun's girlfriend. Don't listen to him," Halsey quickly said. Gilbert sneered. "If you're really his girlfriend, then prove it to me.""How?""Kiss him."Gilbert was insane—he actually wanted her to kiss Shaun right there and then!Halsey glanced at Shaun. His cold, clear eyes met hers. Their gazes locked, and she felt a flicker of awkwardness."What's wrong? Afraid to kiss him? I knew it—you're just pretending to be his girlfriend! Don't think I don't know why you came here. Mr. Payne hates being lied to. If he finds out you're a fraud, he'll throw you out without hesitation!""Who said I'm afraid?" Halsey shot back. "Shaun's my boyfriend. I'll kiss him whenever I want."With that, she rose onto her toes and leaned close to Shaun. In a low voice, she whispered, "I don't have much choice. Can I kiss you?"Shaun caught the scent of her perfume and smiled. "Sure. If we're acting, we might as well go all the way."He agreed.Halsey had been worried he

    Halsey shot Gilbert a cold glare. He really couldn't wait to kick her out.Quickly, she grabbed Shaun's sleeve, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Mr. Lane, please protect me."Shaun looked down at her small hand clutching the expensive black fabric of his suit. The stark contrast between her pale fingers and the dark sleeve caught the eye.William turned to Shaun. "Shaun, who's this?"Because Halsey was standing just behind Shaun, William naturally directed the question to him.Gilbert, too, had noticed that Halsey had come in with Shaun. "Mr. Lane, do you know Halsey? What's your relationship with her?"Shaun looked at Gilbert calmly. "Why are you so worked up about her?""I'm not sure you know," Gilbert said firmly, "but she's my fiancée."Shaun glanced toward Halsey. "Is that true?"Halsey shook her head quickly. "Things are complicated between us. But one thing's clear—I'm not marrying him!"Shaun's face was hidden behind his mask, so his expression was unreadable. Then,
