Ida’s smile shattered in an instant . “ What did you say ?! ”
Halsey stepped forward confidently . “ With Wendy’s talent and strength , she doesn’t need to cling to anyone . The Larson family is just a bonus to her success . ”
Ida’s face darkened .
Horace said firmly , “ Wendy is now part of the Larson family . If anyone dares to provoke her or show disrespect , I’ll have them kicked out immediately . ”
His words were clearly meant for Ida , with no regard for their past
Ida clenched her fists at her sides and glanced at Jessica .
Jessica stepped toward her parents without hesitation . “ It’s time you made your choice . ”
Wendy asked calmly , “ Choice ? What choice ? ”
Jessica smirked proudly . “ Haven’t you heard ? I asked my parents to choose between you and me , and they still haven’t decided . ”
Wendy nodded . “ I see . ”
Jessica’s voice took on a sharper edge . “ I know you’ve done a lot for my parents , and they’re taking you in to repay that – but I’m their biological daughter . You’re not going to ask them to give me up , are you ? ”
Wendy looked at Horace and Brittany . She was truly fond of them , but she knew that Jessica was their blood , and blood is thicker
than water .
She didn’t want to put Horace and Brittany in a tough spot .
With a gentle smile , Wendy said , “ Mom , Dad , I know Jessica is your biological daughter , and your only child . It’s alright . We can even cancel tonight’s party . It won’t affect our relationship . ”
Wendy’s understanding nature annoyed Halsey deeply . She grabbed Wendy’s arm and whispered sharply , “ Why are you stepping aside for Jessica ? She’s done nothing but cause trouble , yet she hides behind her status as the Larson family’s heiress ! If this keeps up , there’s nothing she won’t do . ”
Wendy gave Halsey a calming look before turning to Horace and Brittany . “ Mom , Dad , I— ”
Horace cut her off . “ You don’t need to say anything . We’ve already made our choice . ”
Brittany and Horace exchanged a glance . “ Yes , we’ve made our decision . ”
Jessica’s eyes sparkled with anticipation . “ What’s your choice? Who do you pick ? ”
At that moment , the butler approached . “ Mr. and Mrs. Larson , we have brought the Aetheris Crown . ”
The Aetheris Crown was a masterpiece handcrafted from countless precious diamonds and gemstones , priceless beyond measure . It was a tiara fit for a princess .
Horace nodded . “ Bring it out . ”
Soon , a black – clad bodyguard appeared , holding an exquisite box . Inside rested the Aetheris Crown .
Gasps filled the room .
The crown gleamed brilliantly under the dazzling lights , its radiance so intense it took everyone’s breath away .
“ The Aetheris Crown is stunning ! ”
“ This is the crown Mr. Larson bought from a royal auction for the Larson family’s heiress . Tonight , it will grace the head of the

The black – clad bodyguard presented the crown before Horace and Brittany .
