This was the first time Wendy had heard about the marriage agreement. She looked at Stanley in shock, realizing that the bond between him and Jessica had started the moment they were

born.

Halsey had known about the arrangement, but the world’s richest man’s beloved daughter had been missing for twenty years. For all these years, no one had any trace of her. Everyone assumed the heiress was probably dead.

She never imagined that Jessica was the missing daughter of the richest man.

Cecelia couldn’t help but sigh. Today, they had the chance to bring Jessica and the members of the Crone family to justice. Yet Jessica’s sudden, astonishing background had thrown everything into chaos.

Stanley pressed his lips together, his voice cold and detached as he spoke.

“Uncle Horace, that engagement was arranged by you and my father. But now, in this day and age, marriage is a matter of personal choice. So the engagement between our families doesn’t count.”

Horace’s expression didn’t change. He was calm, no anger or joy showing on his face. He simply smiled. “Are you saying you don’t want to marry my daughter?”

Stanley glanced briefly at Jessica, who was standing beside Horace. “That’s right. I will never marry her!”

Jessica’s hands clenched into fists at her sides as she glared at Wendy with hatred in her eyes.

She didn’t hate Stanley–she hated Wendy.

If it weren’t for Wendy, none of this would have happened!

Horace studied Wendy quietly. “If you don’t want to marry my daughter, who do you want to marry instead? That woman behind you?”

Stanley stood tall, blocking Wendy from view. He wanted to speak, but Wendy stepped forward, her voice calm yet firm.

“Mr. Larson,” she said, “we’re not discussing the marriage agreement between your families right now, but the crimes Jessica has committed.”

Horace’s gaze shifted to Wendy. She was the same age as Jessica and looked very young, the kind of age where most girls wouldn’t dare meet his gaze.

But Wendy’s clear eyes locked onto his, fearless and confident. It was something different.

For some reason, Horace couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something unusual about Wendy.

This feeling had been there from the very first moment they met.

Horace looked at Wendy, his voice steady. “Even though you know who her father is?”

Wendy met his gaze. “Yes. Even though she’s your daughter, it doesn’t mean she can do whatever she wants.”

She took a step forward. “Mr. Larson, you haven’t seen your daughter in years. Let me give you a proper introduction to her. Jessica is arrogant, manipulative, deceitful, and willing to do anything to gain wealth and power. She has no conscience, and she has no problem stepping over others to get what she wants.”

Horace frowned, turning his gaze to Jessica.

Jessica’s face paled as she immediately defended herself. “Dad, don’t listen to this nonsense from Wendy!”

Edith quickly added, “That’s right, Mr. Larson! Wendy and Jessica have always had a feud. She’s just slandering her!”

Wendy scoffed. “And look at the entire Crone family. They’re just like Jessica, using others to climb to the top, killing people to achieve their agenda.”

Wendy’s eyes shifted to Jerry’s tombstone. His smiling face was engraved on it, his gentle expression forever imprinted in her memory.
