Brittany had stolen the life that should have been hers. Horace and the title of Mrs. Larson were supposed to be hers!
Meanwhile, Horace returned to the Executive Dining Suite.
Jessica looked up at him, curious. “Where did Mom go?”
“She had something to take care of, so she left,” Horace replied calmly.
“What? She left?” Jessica pouted, her lips trembling with a hint of childish sulking. “Why didn’t she tell me she was leaving?”
Horace studied Jessica closely. Before, he hadn’t suspected anything was off with Jessica, but after hearing Brittany’s insinuations, doubt had crept into his mind about Jessica’s true parentage.
He realized he should have gotten a DNA test done from the start. 1
But Horace kept his expression carefully neutral. He wouldn’t let Jessica see anything on his face. If Jessica were truly his daughter, he couldn’t let her find out they were doubting her. And if she weren’t, that was even more reason to keep it a secret.
He had to remain calm.
Horace said gently to Jessica, “Have you eaten your fill? If you have we’ll head home.”
Jessica nodded, satisfied that she had already achieved what she wanted. Tomorrow, she would officially start at Brewer Enterprise.
She glanced at Wendy, who had been quietly eating in the corner of the private room since she arrived, keeping a low profile.
“Are you done eating? We’re heading home now. You’re not planning to come with us, are you?”
Wendy set down her utensils. “Thank you for your hospitality. I’m done with my meal. You should go ahead. I’m heading home,
too.”
Jessica shot Wendy a sharp look before turning to Horace. “Let’s go home.”
Horace looked toward Wendy. “Bye.”
“Alright. Goodbye.”
Horace took Jessica’s hand and left. Within half an hour, they were back at the Larson family’s villa, stepping into the spacious living room.
“I’m going upstairs,” Jessica said to Horace.
“Jessica!” Horace suddenly called out.
“Yeah?”
Horace reached up and lightly ruffled her hair. “Nothing. Go on upstairs.”
Jessica headed upstairs.
Just then, Horace’s butler appeared quietly behind him.
“Mr. Larson.”

Horace raised his hand to reveal a single strand of long hair resting in his palm. The butler passed him a vacuum–sealed plastic bag, and he carefully placed the hair inside.
“Take this and get a DNA test done,” he instructed.

“Yes, sir.”
“Make it urgent. I want the results by tomorrow.”
“Understood.”

The next morning, Jessica woke in her bed, feeling upbeat. Brittany’s return had gone smoothly, and her mood was light.
Today was her first day working at Brewer Enterprise. She was eager to see what Brittany would entrust to her. Brewer Enterprise managed many brands, and Jessica hoped Brittany would hand over the company’s top–tier luxury jewelry line for her to manage–preferably today.
She put on carefully applied makeup and a flowing dress, then headed downstairs.
Ida stood in the living room. “Morning. Come have breakfast. The chef prepared your favorites.”
Over the past three years, Ida had treated Jessica kindly. Before, Jessica would usually respond with a pleasant face, but today was different.
Jessica shot Ida a cold glance. “I’m not eating. I’m going to Mom’s company now. You can stop wasting your time trying to win me over. I don’t like you, and we’re not close. I don’t want Mom to misunderstand.”
Ida stiffened. “What’s gotten into you?”
Jessica’s lips curved into a small, sharp smile. “Ms. Olsen, don’t pretend anymore. You just want to marry my dad and be Mrs. Larson. Now that my mom is back, I’m on her side.”
