Edith quickly jumped in Wendy s father isn t my biological son I adopted him Over the years Jessica has been close to Lilian and Lilian has naturally come to treat Jessica as her own
She offered the explanation calmly
Horace didn t respond immediately His gaze shifted to Wendy I ll trust you for now
Wendy nodded.”Thanks.”
However I need you to cure Jessica
Wendy raised an eyebrow You just said you trust me Since I didn t poison Jessica why should I cure her
Mr Larson gave you away out Lilian snapped You d better take it
Don t be so ungrateful Noone has ever dared speak to Mr Larson like that Edith added
Wendy didn t even glance at them She simply looked at Horace I m not obligated to cure Jessica Are you asking me a favor
Horace watched Wendy impressed by her calm and clever demeanor He couldn the lp but smile this girl was certainly interesting
Noone had ever dared speak to him this way before
Horace nodded Yes I masking for a favor Please cure my daughter
Lilian s eyes burned with hatred as she glared at Wendy She wanted nothing more than to see Wendy suffer but Horace was indulging her Was this the power of blood relations
Blood is thicker than water After all Wendy was Horace s true daughter She was the real heiress not Jessica
Wendy tilted her head her voice cool Is this really how you ask for a favor
Horace smirked What do you need me to do
Wendy thought for a moment I don t know yet but I need you to promise me one thing Once I ve decided I ll tell you
Both Edith s and Lilian s faces changed Was Wendy demanding that Horace make a promise What could it be Lilian quickly intervened Mr Larson don t agree to her request What if it s something unreasonable Will you really go along with it
Edith added That s right Your word is law Don t make promises to Wendy
Wendyraisedaneyebrow.”If youdon’twanttoagree,thenforgetit.Iwon’tforceanyone.I’llleavenow.”
Wendy turned to walk away
However Horace stepped in front of her Fine I agree

Edith and Lilian were seething Mr Larson
Wendy smiled her eyes shining with triumph That s great
Horace couldn the lp but feel his mood lift as he saw the gleam in Wendy s eyes She was like a clever little fox
So you can save my daughter now right
Wendy nodded Yes Lead the way Mr Larson
Horace led Wendy into Jessica s room Jessica lay motionless on the bed her face pale her lips dark clear signs of poisoning
Wendy looked at her and confirmed She s been poisoned
Lilian with a sneer retorted You don t say Mr Larson had already called in the best doctors but none of them could cure her
Horace turned to Wendy his voice heavy with urgency Can you cure her
