Ida smiled softly. “I’m glad you and your mom have a good relationship. I’m happy for you.”
Jessica snorted, clearly unimpressed. “You sure know how to put on a show.”
She glanced around the room, then asked, “Where’s Dad?”
Ida didn’t look at Jessica. Instead, she slowly took a seat at the dining table, picked up her utensils with an elegant grace, and began to eat breakfast.
“He left early this morning she said casually.
Jessica immediately sensed something was off. For one thing, she hadn’t even sat at the table, but Ida had sat down and gotten started with her breakfast.
Ida had always been eager to cater to Jessica’s every whim–she never dared to behave like this.
“Where did he go?”
Ida took a slow sip of her milk and replied without much interest, up holding what looked like a medical report.”
don’t really know. But early this morning, his butler showed
A medical report?
Jessica’s heart tightened, her nerves prickling as she asked, “What kind of report? Dad never mentioned anything like that before.”
Ida smiled knowingly. “I’m not sure about the exact details, but let me think… Could it be a DNA paternity test?”
A DNA paternity test?
Oh, no.
Jessica’s eyes widened in shock, her breath catching in her throat. He had a DNA test done? When?”
“Why are you getting so worked up? Even if Horace did the DNA test on you, there’s no reason to panic. You’re his biological daughter. The results should reflect the truth.”
Jessica’s face drained of color, turning ghostly pale. She had never expected Horace to secretly arrange a DNA test behind her
back.
Her mind raced back to last night.
Last night, Horace had ruffled her hair, and she had felt a sharp tingle on her scalp. She figured he must have taken a strand of her hair then.
Ida looked Jessica over, her gaze sharp and calculating. “Isn’t it strange? As soon as Brittany returned, Horace went and got a DNA test done. Could it be that she doubts your identity?”
“But don’t worry,” she added with a sly smile, “You’re their real daughter. Unless you’re some kind of impostor, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Jessica stared at Ida. Although Ida smiled, it was like the smile of a venomous snake. She seemed to have seen right through Jessica without outright saying it. The kind of cold calculation that sent a chill down Jessica’s spine.
Suddenly, fear crept up inside her. It appeared Horace had gone to see Brittany. The DNA resuinust be back, and he was going to show them to Brittany.
Jessica was sure she was done for if her true identity was exposed.
No! She had to get to Brewer Enterprise–now.

Without hesitation, Jessica bolted out the door.

Horace arrived at Brewer Enterprise, accompanied by his butler. The front desk receptionist immediately stood up to greet him.
“Mr. Larson, hello.”
Horace frowned. The receptionist was a young, handsome man.
“Are you here to see Ms. Brewer? Please follow me.”
As Horace stepped inside, his expression darkened further. He realized Brewer Enterprise wasn’t just staffed by attractive men at the front desk–every employee inside was a striking young man
They were all tall and lean, with defined abs.
He knew this was Brewer Enterprise, but if someone didn’t know any better, they might think they had stumbled into some upscale club filled with gigolos.
