Chapter 681

Wendy shifted, trying to get up.But the moment she moved, Stanley stirred awake. He wrapped his arms around her. "You're awake?"Wendy buried her face in his chest and said nothing.Stanley's eyes were still heavy with sleep, his usual cold and distant demeanor softened into something lazy and almost sensual. He reached out and pinched her cheek gently. "What's wrong? Are you mad at me? Giving me the silent treatment?"Of course, Wendy was angry. Last night, he had forced himself on her. She didn't want to deal with him right now.Stanley smiled, planting a kiss on her forehead. "You're adorable even when you're mad."Wendy twisted her fingers into his muscles, giving him a sharp pinch.Stanley rolled over, pinning her beneath him. "Didn't have enough last night? Then let's keep going."Wendy trembled. Last night, he had drained every bit of her strength, and now he wanted more?She refused firmly. "No! It's daytime now. There's still no news from Jessica. I'm really worried

"Yes, I'm Jolin," Wendy admitted with confidence.Horace admired her—such a young woman holding her own in the business world was truly rare."What can I do for you?" he asked.Wendy curved her lips into a subtle smile. "I just arrived in the Capital and wanted to visit your house."She wanted to go with Horace to the Larson family's estate.Horace paused, then chuckled. "You want to visit my house?""That's right. I heard your residence is quite grand. I thought it would be good to see it for myself."Horace didn't know what to make of Wendy's true intentions, but he nodded in agreement. "Sure. I'll give you a ride."Wendy hadn't expected it to go so smoothly. "Thanks, Mr. Larson."-Jessica was already at the Larson family's estate. Last night, she had tried to set a trap for Wendy at a private winery, only to fail miserably—she almost got caught herself and barely escaped.She had been up all night worrying. By morning, she was already awake, knowing her father was back i

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

Chapter 684

Wendy turned her head and saw a woman dressed in a flowing gown. Her name was Ida Olsen, a classic beauty in her forties with soft, delicate, well-maintained features.Wendy had never seen a woman close to Horace before. She had heard that Horace and his original wife, Brittany, had divorced some years back.Wendy looked at Ida and asked, "Mr. Larson, who is she? How should I address her?"Horace glanced at Ida and said, "Just call her Ms. Olsen. That's what everyone here calls her. Ida, this is Ms. Crone."When Horace said "Ms. Olsen", Wendy caught a flicker of disappointment flash across Ida's eyes. However, it vanished almost immediately.Ida smiled politely. "Hi, Ms. Crone."Wendy responded with a nod, "Hi, Ms. Olsen."Ida turned to Horace and asked, "Why have you been abroad so long this time?"Horace pressed his lips together. "I finally found Jessica's mother."What?!Wendy was stunned. She hadn't been sure whether Jessica's mother was still alive, but now, Horace had

Chapter 685

Jessica was frazzled. "I'm not standing you up! My dad came back, and something came up here.""Well, how do we know if you're telling the truth? You promised to pay us more, but you haven't given us money, and you don't even show up! What else are we supposed to think?""I'll give you more money, but not right now," Jessica tried to explain. "Enough, stop yelling at me! It's late, and my dad should be asleep. I'm coming over right now.""Alright. We hope you really show up this time.""How are they doing?" Jessica asked."They're fine. We wouldn't dare make a move without your orders."Jessica was actually furious. If those people hadn't taken Angela, she wouldn't be in so much trouble. Bella would've been easy to take care of.She hung up and stood up, quietly stepping out of her room. The huge mansion was silent; everyone was presumably asleep. She crept down the stairs, carefully opened the front door, and tried to leave.The moment the door swung open, a group of men in bl

Jessica was speechless. Wendy's smooth, sly words had pushed her right to the edge.Horace looked at Jessica, urging, "Say something, Jessica."What could Jessica say? If she kept silent, Horace might start to suspect her for real.Finally, she said, "I made plans with Sienna. We wanted to go dancing at a bar. I just want to go out and have some fun.""No!" Horace snapped. "It's too late to be out. You need to get to bed early.""Dad, I—""Your mom will come back to see you in a few days."What?Jessica's eyes widened in shock. "Mom's coming back? But... I thought she was dead.""She's not dead," Horace said firmly. "She's coming back to see you."Jessica was speechless again. She had always believed Brittany was gone for good. But now, somehow, she was still alive.If Brittany returned, wouldn't her secret be exposed?Wendy was Brittany's real daughter. The connection between mother and daughter was far stronger than between father and daughter. Now, Wendy was staying at t

Chapter 687

Horace glared at Wendy, his brow tightening with displeasure. "You'd better watch it!"Everyone knew Brittany was a thorn deeply lodged in Horace's heart—no one dared to touch that subject. But Wendy not only dared to touch it, she openly mocked him right here. This girl was truly bold.Wendy met his gaze calmly. "Which part of what I said was wrong?"Horace paused, then said firmly, "Nothing ever happened between Ida and me."Wendy tilted her head, unfazed. "If nothing happened, then why did Ms. Brewer misunderstand?"Horace paused before answering, "She was just petty and jealous."Wendy's eyes glinted with a sharp edge. "You're funny, Mr. Larson. When things went wrong, you said it was because she was petty and jealous. If there were no other women around you, how could she be jealous? In other words, knowing how jealous she is, why did you still keep other women close to you?"Horace was left speechless.Before, Brittany's drama had given him headaches. Now, with Wendy he

Chapter 688

Stanley took hold of Wendy's hand. "Let's go."He started leading her out, but Wendy quickly pulled her hand free from his grasp. "You should go. I'm doing fine here. I plan to stay for a few days."Stanley looked at her, confused. "Stay here? You're not even related to Mr. Larson! Why do you want to stay at his house?"He had already noticed that Horace treated Wendy differently. For instance, no one else was allowed in Horace's study, but Wendy had somehow managed to be in there. Horace seemed unusually lenient toward her.Wendy smiled faintly. "He's a good person. You don't have to doubt his character.""Good person? I think you're being a little biased!"Wendy didn't know why she felt so warmly toward Horace—it was like a closeness born from family ties, something instinctive."I'm here to save Bella and Mrs. Angela.""How do you plan to do that?""Jessica is under house arrest. I'm sure she won't last long without slipping up."Stanley frowned. "Why are you acting on you
