Horace looked at Jessica with a soft affectionate gaze before turning his eyes toward Wendy
It was the second time he had encountered Wendy
Wendy her eyes still red from crying me this gaze Her once clear eyes now brighter after the tears locked with his
Just then Trish spoke up Mr Larson you came at just the right time Wendy was bullying Jessica again
Jessica ever the understanding one stepped in Dad it s okay I m your daughter now and Wendy must be feeling jealous and upset Let herget it out of her system
Horace s gaze hat ten eda she looked at Wendy I don t know what has caused such a deep hatred between you and my daughter and frankly I don t need to know But one thing s for sure I hope you won t bully Jessica anymore
It was a warning from Horace to Wendy
Wendy looked at him coolly Mr Larson maybe you should focus more on Jessica s heart condition If not I m afraid you might find yourselves parting ways before you even really get to know each other
At the mention of her heart Jessica immediately grimaced in discomfort Dad my chest hurts Right now only Wendy can perform the heart surgery forme

Wendy took a step forward You re a powerful man right You ve vowed to protect Jessica and the whole Crone family Now why don t you figure out how to treat Jessica s heart disease yourself
With that Wendy turned and walked away
Horace was taken a back by her response a smile creeping up his face despite his frustration Everyone around him feared him even Jessica who respected him deeply But Wendy Wendy had never seemed scared of him
That girl She sure had guts
Horace reached out and grabbed Wendy s arm firmly
She halted and looked up at him unflinching Mr Larson please let go
Horace raised an eyebrow I m afraid I can t do that Since you can treat my daughter s heart I m going to have to ask you to come with me now
Horace intended to take Wendy with him
Just then a familiar smooth voice interrupted Uncle Horace I m afraid you can t take Wendy with you Wendy looked up and there stood Stanley He was dressed in a sharp black suit standing tall and dignified

But Stanley didn t even acknowledge her His steps were steady as he walked straight to Wendy and with a firm hand he grabbed her other arm
He turned his gaze to Horace Mr Larson let go
Now Horace and Stanley were on either side of Wendy each holding on to her
Horace was amused by the situation Stanley technically I m your future father in law What s going on here Are you seriously going to fight me for her
Stanley shota glance at Wendy Uncle Horace you ve got it wrong I m not fighting you for her You re the one fighting me Wendy is my woman
Stanley made it clear Wendy was his
Wendy s clear eyes met Stanley s handsome regal face
Horace frowned slightly confusion creeping into his expression Stanley you say Wendy is your woman but what does that make my daughter Jessica After all you and Jessica have a marriage agreement
