Jessica cut Angela off sharply. "So what you're saying is I'm not as good as her!"Angela hesitated. "I…"Jessica clenched her fists tightly at her sides. "Every one of you thinks the same way—Wendy's the wonder doctor, Dr. Ceylan! She's Jolin, so talented and perfect! And me? I'm nothing. That's why you all side with her and don't like me!"Angela recoiled, startled by the fierce bitterness and jealousy twisting Jessica's face. Her expression had warped into something frightening.Bella shrank behind Angela, trembling. "I'm scared…"Angela wrapped her arms around Bella protectively, then gave Jessica a strange, almost unfamiliar look. "How could you think like that? It's not because you're not as talented as Wendy that we don't like you. But your jealousy has poisoned your heart, and doing something so illegal and cruel... You've truly disappointed me."Jessica's eyes were bloodshot as she stared coldly at Angela. "I don't need your approval anymore, because you won't be leaving

Horace looked at Jessica, his disappointment barely hidden. "You deserve to be punished. How could you do something like this?"He had always known Jessica was a bit headstrong and cunning, but when Wendy told him she had hired thugs to kidnap people, he refused to believe it. He simply couldn't accept that his daughter could be so cruel at her core.As the head of a wealthy family, Horace was proud of his lineage. Jessica's mother, Brittany, came from a prestigious background as well. With such strong bloodlines, how could they have made someone like Jessica?His disappointment was deep and painful.Yet Jessica showed no sign of understanding her mistake. Instead, she looked wronged. "Dad, how could you hit me in front of others? You're just embarrassing me in front of Wendy! I'm your daughter! Why do you always side with outsiders?"With that, Jessica turned and tried to storm out—but a bodyguard in black blocked her way. From behind, Wendy's voice was firm. "Did I say you c

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

Stanley glanced at Wendy with curiosity. "What's got you so interested in her?"Wendy's mind flashed back to the day she saw Brittany's portrait in Horace's study. For some reason, she felt a strong pull toward Brittany, a desire to meet the latter in person.A faint smile curved Wendy's lips. "She's a legend in her own right, so I want to meet her."Angela nodded. "Alright, let's go to Vista Dining and meet her."Just then, Bella called out, "Mommy, let's paint together.""Okay, come on," Wendy replied warmly. "I'll take you to paint."Wendy then took Bella with her to paint.Stanley moved closer to Angela and lowered his voice. "Mom, I'm not going to marry Jessica. She kidnapped you and Bella, and caused all this trouble... You wouldn't make me marry her, would you?"Disappointment flickered in Angela's eyes as she recalled Jessica. "I never imagined she could do something like this. I'm really disappointed in her. But the engagement between you and Jessica was arranged by

Brittany began, "I am—" But Jessica cut her off impatiently. "I don't care who you are. I have zero interest. Now that you've ruined my dress, I want you to grovel and apologize!"Brittany raised an eyebrow. "And what if I don't?"Jessica's eyes flashed dangerously. "Then don't blame me for being rude. Security!"Two black-clad bodyguards appeared immediately. "Yes?"Jessica pointed at Brittany. "Grab her! Make her grovel and apologize to me!""Got it!" the bodyguards answered, closing in on Brittany.Brittany sneered coldly, "Think carefully—if you lay a hand on me, you'll regret it."Jessica smirked, her voice sharp. "Are you threatening me? Once you find out who I am, you'll be so scared your knees will go weak!"Brittany scoffed. "Big talk.""Stop standing there! Grab her!" Jessica barked.The guards moved forward to grab Brittany.Suddenly, a clear voice cut through the tension. "Why, Ms. Larson. Flaunting your status again, I see?"Jessica looked up to see the one p
