But now, Horace actually found a way to save Brittany, though it came at a terrifying price of his own life. This unexpected move completely blindsided Ida, flipping the situation from her favor to one where she had tio control.
She absolutely could not let Horace save Brittany. Horace belonged to her!
If Horace sacrificed himself to save Brittany and then left all his fortune to her, Ida would be left with nothing
All these years of careful scheming, all the youth she had wasted on Horace–all would have been for naught! Could a villa and some money ever make up for that?
Ida looked down on such things.
What she wanted was Horace himself, the title of Mrs. Larson, and every last dollar of his fortune.
She was convinced that all of it should go to her, and her alone.
Ida stepped into Jessica’s room, where Jessica was trying on custom gowns she had just received. The past three years as the daughter of the richest man had left her spending recklessly.
Since Wendy had arrived in the Capital, life hadn’t been easy for Jessica. Shopping was the only thing that brought her any joy. Ida’s sudden entrance startled Jessica, who quickly covered herself “Why didn’t you knock? I’m changing!”
Ida’s face darkened. “Hurry up and get dressed. Your good days are coming to an end.”
What did she mean?
Jessica slipped on her dress and looked at Ida. “What are you talking about? What happened?”
“Horace is already making his will,” Ida said flatly.
“What? Why would Dad be making a will if he’s perfectly fine?”
Jessica was still clueless, utterly shocked by the news.
“He’s found a way to save Brittany, but it requires a life for a life,” Ida continued. “He plans to give his own to save hers, which is why he’s making the will.”
What?
Jessica’s face went pale. She didn’t want Brittany to live; rather, she wished Brittany would just drop dead already.
“And do you know what’s in his will?” Ida asked.
Jessica’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes lighting up.
She was Horace’s only biological daughter. Was she about to inherit everything?
She almost laughed out loud. If that was the case, then Horace might as well die!
Ida looked at Jessica, already seeing through all her thoughts, and sneered. “Don’t get your hopes up. Your name isn’t mentioned in his will at all.”
Jessica froze. “Why? Aren’t I his daughter?”
Ida smiled cruelly.
“Horace and Brittany aren’t divorced. Brittany is still his legal wife and the primary heir. He plans to leave everything to Brittany. As for you, he said that if you can manage to win Brittany’s favor someday, maybe she will share something with you. But from what I see, she isn’t close to you at all. Winning her over would be virtually impossible. That means you’ll get nothing.”

She emphasized the last sentence.
Those words exploded in Jessica’s ears like thunder on a clear day. She never expected that after pretending to be the richest man’s daughter, she would be left with absolutely nothing.
Desperately, Jessica grabbed Ida’s hand. “You have to help me! Please think of something! I can’t be left with nothing. Everything my dad has belongs to me–no, to me and you!”
Ida smiled. “I do have a plan. Just do exactly as I say.“.
Jessica’s eyes sparkled with hope. “What plan? Tell me!”
