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 black was standing guard outside. “Ms. Larson.”
Jessica jumped, startled. “Why are you here?”
“We’re guarding the gate. You’re not allowed to go out.”
What?
Jessica was shocked. “Why can’t I go out?”
If she didn’t go out, the kidnappers would start to panic. She had to get out tonight, no matter what!
The men in black said firmly, “Sorry, but you have to stay inside the mansion.”
“How dare you!” Jessica snapped loudly. “Don’t you know who I am? I’m the heiress of the Larson family, daughter of the richest man! If you don’t do as I say, I’ll have my dad fire every single last one of you and give you a serious lesson!”
The men in black lowered their heads, bowing. “Sorry. This is Mr. Larson’s order–you’re not allowed to leave.”
What? It was her father’s command? Why?
Jessica didn’t believe it. “No way! My dad would never do that. Step aside–I’m going out!”
At that moment, a low, magnetic voice echoed from upstairs. “Jessica, I ordered them to keep you from going out.

Jessica looked up. On the intricately carved balcony of the second floor, she saw Horace standing tall and proud.
Jessica stamped her foot in anger. “Why are you restricting my freedom? I want to head out!”
Before Horace could reply, a clear, gentle voice rang out.
It’s so late already. Where exactly are you heading?”
Jessica froze. She saw Wendy standing beside Horace, her clear eyes looking down on her from above.

Jessica clenched her fists quickly. “It’s you again! Did you tell my dad to restrict my freedom and keep me from going out?”
Wendy nodded. “Yes, I did.”
Jessica was furious beyond words. Even though she was now the richest man’s daughter, her father’s heart was still with Wendy. Whatever Wendy said, Horace agreed to.
Seeing them standing side by side like that made Jessica so angry that she felt sick.
The past three years, she had lived her life on her own terms–but once Wendy showed up, her good days were shattered.
“Dad, how can you side with an outsider like Wendy against me? I’m your daughter!”
Horace looked at Jessica calmly. “It’s so late. Where exactly do you want to go? If you tell me, I’ll go with you.”
Jessica froze.
Wendy smiled at her.
“Mr. Larson cares about you–a lot. He’s worried about you going out alone at night. You should just tell him where you want to go so he can accompany you. Honestly, I’m curious too. Who could you possibly be rushing to see at this hour?” 1
