NovelGoldhapter 560 Chapter 560 Horace's voice cut through the tension. "Is this how you treat your own daughter?" Lilian froze, caught off guard. “I—I...” She wanted to explain herself, but with the weight of the world's wealthiest man's commanding presence pressing down on her, she didn't dare speak freely. The more she said, the more she might let slip the truth.

"Don't be so ungrateful. No one 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 askinga favor?" Horace watched Wendy, impressed by her calm and clever demeanor. He couldn't help but smile-this girl was certainly interesting.

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." Wendy raised an eyebrow. "If you don't want to agree, then forget it. I won't force anyone. I'll leave now." Wendy turned to walk away.
However, Horace stepped in front of her. "Fine, I agree." 3/2 Chapter 560 He actually agreed.
