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 . ”
PARCENS
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 .

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 . ”
