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 here, her quick tongue left him completely defenseless.
“What happens between me and my wife is a private affair. It’s none of your business. I suggest you watch your words.”
Wendy lowered her head slightly. “Sorry. I won’t say any more. I’ll be leaving now.”
She started to walk out, but then paused, turning back.
“Oh, one more thing, Mr. Larson. I think I should correct you. Ms. Brewer is your ex–wife now. So it’s not your private affair anymore, is it?”
Horace glared daggers at her, silently ordering her to leave
Suddenly, a voice called from outside the room. “Stanley, you can’t just barge into Horace’s study!”
Stanley’s deep, smooth voice replied, “Where’s Wendy? I heard she came here. Is she really in Mr. Larson’s study?

Ida answered nervously, “I-”
“Ms. Olsen, please step aside! I’m here for Wendy.”
“This is Horace’s study. How about you wait outside? I’ll go in and tell him you’re here.”
“No need.”
With a soft creak, the study door swung open, revealing Stanley’s tall, handsome figure in the doorway.
Horace lifted his eyes to meet Stanley’s, his brows drawing together sharply.
Stanley strode in confidently and stopped beside Wendy. “Wendy, why did you leave without telling me? And why are you here in Mr. Larson’s study?”
Wendy hadn’t expected Stanley to catch up so fast. “I’m just visiting Mr. Larson’s home.”

Stanley’s lips pressed into a thin line, displeased. “Okay, but why are you in his study? What’s your relationship with Mr. Larson?”
“Horace’s mood, already sour, darkened further. Stanley was looking at him like he had just caught him in the act.
“What are you implying?” Horace growled. “Do you really think something’s going on between us? I’m old enough to be her father.”
Stanley glanced at Horace sharply. “How would I know what’s going on in your head? These days, older men seem to like younger women.”
Horace was left speechless–it was as bad an insult as any
“Both of you, get out!” Horace barked.
He gave the order for Wendy and Stanley to leave.
Ida stepped forward. “Ms. Crone, Stanley, please leave, or you’ll make him angrier.”
