Jessica looked straight at Horace and Brittany . “ I really love this Aheris Crown . Now , put it on me . ”
She was practically bouncing with excitement , eager to wear the crown .
Brittany picked up the Aetheris Crown . “ Tonight , we will personally place this crown on the head of the Larson family’s true heiress . ”
Jessica couldn’t hide her impatience . “ Hurry and put it on me ! ”
She couldn’t wait any longer .
Brittany walked over to Jessica and stopped right in front of her .
Jessica’s eyes sparkled . Brittany was here .
A murmur ran through the crowd . “ Mrs. Larson is about to crown Ms. Larson with the Aetheris Crown ! ”
“ Of course . Ms. Larson is her biological daughter ! ”
“ How could a goddaughter compare to their own blood ? ”
Jessica strutted like a proud peacock , locking her gaze on Brittany .
“ Hurry up and put it on me ! ”
She bent down , waiting expectantly .
Yet , Brittany didn’t move .
“ Jessica , ” Brittany said slowly , “ this Aetheris Crown isn’t for you . ”
What ?
Jessica froze . “ What are you talking about ? If it’s not for me , then who is it for ? ”
Brittany looked her in the eye . “ This crown is meant for Wendy . ”
Jessica’s heart sank . “ What … ”
Brittany held Jessica’s gaze firmly . “ Jessica , you’re our daughter , but we can’t keep turning a blind eye to your mistakes . You asked us to choose between you and Wendy . We have made our decision . ”
Jessica’s stomach twisted with dread . “ Who did you choose ? ”
Horace’s voice was low and steady . “ We choose Wendy . ”
Horace and Brittany had chosen Wendy .
Gasps erupted among the crowd .
Jessica’s face turned pale . “ I’m your one and only biological daughter , but you’re choosing Wendy , an outsider ? ”
“ She’s no longer an outsider . She is our daughter now , ” Brittany said calmly .
Without another word , Brittany walked toward Wendy . “ The party will go on as planned – unless you don’t want us to be your parents anymore . ”
Wendy was deeply moved . When Jessica forced Horace and Brittany to choose , she had already braced herself to be cast aside . She knew her place – she knew she couldn’t compete with Jessica , their biological daughter .
Never had she expected Horace and Brittany to choose her .

There is nothing in this world more precious than being chosen wholeheartedly by someone else .
Tears welled up in Wendy’s eyes . “ Of course , I want you to be my parents . ”
Horace smiled gently . “ This crown belongs only to you . Now , wear it . ”
Wendy nodded softly . “ Okay . ”
Brittany lifted the dazzling crown and placed it carefully on Wendy’s head .
Tonight , Wendy had her hair elegantly pinned up , revealing her gorgeous , delicate face . Now , crowned with the radiant Aetheris Crown , she shone like a star , so bright that she was impossible to look at directly .
Horace and Brittany stood firmly on either side of Wendy , their voices ringing out loud and clear .
“ We now declare Wendy the true heiress of the Larson family . From this moment on , anyone who opposes her opposes all of us !

The crowd exploded in reaction . “ I can’t believe this ! Mr. and Mrs. Larson actually chose Ms. Wendy ! ”
“ It seems she has truly won their favor . ”
Brittany turned to the crowd and asked , “ Have I made myself clear ”
The crowd responded in unison , “ Yes ! ”
