Stanley took hold of Wendy’s hand. “Let’s go.”

He started leading her out, but Wendy quickly pulled her hand free from his grasp. “You should go. I’m doing fine here, I plan to stay for a few days.”

Stanley looked at her, confused. “Stay here? You’re not even related to Mr. Larson! Why do you want to stay at his house?”

He had already noticed that Horace treated Wendy differently. For instance, no one else was allowed in Horace’s study, but Wendy had somehow managed to be in there. Horace seemned unusually lenient toward her.

Wendy smiled faintly. “He’s a good person. You don’t have to doubt his character.”

“Good person? I think you’re being a little biased!”

Wendy didn’t know why she felt so warmly toward Horace it was like a closeness born from family ties, something instinctive.

“I’m here to save Bella and Mrs. Angela.‘

“How do you plan to do that?”

“Jessica is under house arrest. I’m sure she won’t last long without slipping up.”

Stanley frowned. “Why are you acting on your own? You didn’t even tell me you were coming here.”

Wendy’s clear eyes fixed on Stanley’s handsome face. “Since you and Jessica are engaged, I don’t want Bella or me to get caught up in the arranged marriage between your families. Do you understand what I mean?”

Stanley nodded firmly. “I’m not going to marry Jessica. Once Bella and my mom are safe, I’ll call off the engagement. Our parents made this pact when we were kids–I have no intention of honoring it.”

“You’re not going to marry the Larson family’s heiress?”

Stanley crossed his heart, “I swear right now, if I ever marry the Larson family’s heiress, then I-”

Wendy quickly grabbed his hand to stop him. “Don’t swear like this. What if you end up wanting to marry her?”

There was no “what if“. Stanley was sure of it.

Wendy continued, “Ms. Brewer will be back in a couple of days.”

Stanley’s handsome features tightened at the news. Brittany was really coming back.

“Jessica is her only biological daughter. Ms. Brewer loves her daughter dearly. When she’s back, she’ll definitely pressure you. Then you must marry Jessica.”

Stanley said nothing. “Right now, the priority is rescuing Bella and my mom. When Ms. Brewer gets back, I’ll make things clear with her.” 1

Jessica tossed and turned in her room, unable to sleep. She knew that if she stood the kidnappers up again, they would lose patience. If the truth about her kidnapping Bella and Angela came out, the consequences would be

disastrous.
