What was Horace talking about?
Brittany jabbed him hard. “Get away! You want to be with me, but I don’t!
Horace asked, “Are you sure you don’t?”
“I’m sure,” she replied firmly.
She definitely didn’t. Just thinking about him tangled up with Ida in bed made her stomach turn.
Horace was relentless. “Well, you’re going to have to put up with
He bent down and kissed her fiercely.
Brittany struggled with all her strength. Just then, a maid’s voice came from outside the door. “Ms. Crone, hello”
Wendy was here.
Brittany shoved Horace off of her immediately. “Wendy’s here!”
Horace had no choice but to release her and sat down on the edge of the bed.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Wendy’s clear voice came through.
“Mr. Larson, Ms. Brewer.”

Brittany quickly got up. She straightened her rumpled clothes and fixed her hair, then went to open the door. “Hey, Wendy.”
Wendy stood at the doorway. “Hi, Ms. Brewer. Where is Mr. Larson? Is he alright?”
Brittany stepped aside. “He’s inside.”
Wendy walked in and approached Horace. “Are you feeling okay?”
Horace shook his head. “I feel a burning heat all over my body. This kind of restlessness just isn’t normal.”
“Hold out your hand.”
Horace extended his hand.
Wendy took his pulse, her brows knitting tightly within moments. ‘You’ve been drugged.”
What?!
Brittany’s eyes widened. “What kind of drug is it?”
“Aphrodisiac powder.”
Aphrodisiac powder?
Brittany froze.
Wendy continued, “I noticed Mr. Larson wasn’t himself when he was at the Larson family’s estate. Now, I’m certain that he’s been poisoned with an aphrodisiac. That was why that scene with Ida happened.”
So that was what happened?
Horace looked up at Brittany. “See? Nothing happened between me and Ida. I just felt this unbearable heat, like I lost control. Wendy can vouch for me.”
Brittany felt a bit relieved, but snorted, “You were drugged and out of control, fine. But then why was Ida in your bed? You say you think of her as a sister, but what about her? After all, she climbed into your bed while you were drugged.”

Horace pressed his thin lips together. Indeed, Ida had climbed onto his bed.
Brittany turned to Wendy and said, “You need to clear the aphrodisiac out of his system.”
Wendy looked at Brittany. “I’m afraid I can’t.”
What?
Brittany was stunned. To her, Wendy was the miracle doctor who could do anything–yet, Wendy couldn’t cure this?
“I can’t help him, but there’s one person who can.”
“Who?”
“You.”
Brittany froze then she caught the heated gaze Horace was giving her and instantly understood what Wendy meant.

Horace, who had been drugged with the aphrodisiac powder, just needed to be with someone. Brittany was the one who could save him.
“I’m not doing it!” Brittany refused outright.
Wendy raised a brow. She had already seen it coming, as both Horace and Brittany were proud people. That was exactly why Ida had gotten the upper hand all those years ago.
“If you don’t want to save him, then there are only two options. One, you find another woman for him. Two, you watch as his blood vessels burst, and he dies. The choice is yours. I’ll leave you two to it.”
With that, Wendy turned and left.
Brittany called after her, “Wait!”
