Brittany’s voice was sharp with anger. “I’ll make you pay!”
A cold laugh escaped Ida’s lips. She chuckled twice, then said, “Jessica, let’s go.”
Ida led Jessica away, striding confidently without a care..
“Jessica!” Brittany called after them desperately.
As she watched Jessica follow Ida, Brittany clutched her chest, pain flickering across her face.
Horace quickly pulled her into his arms, his voice trembling. “Britony! Brittany!”
Wendy stepped forward immediately. “Help) Ms. Brewer onto the bed. I need to examine her.”

Both Stanley and Brittany had collapsed, with Stanley slipping into unconsciousness after being stabbed with the needle.
As Wendy checked Brittany’s pulse, Horace’s co deepened. ” the curse in Brittany flaring up again?”
Ida had cast a curse on Brittany that was different from the Heartchain Curse affecting Stanley, so Wendy still had the means to
treat Brittany.
Brittany’s face was pale as paper, but she tried to soothe him. “I’m fine.”
Horace grasped her hand tightly. “It’s my fault. I never expected Ida to become what she is. I kept her close, and it hurt you. AH these years, I didn’t know the truth and let you suffer. I’m sorry.”
Horace’s apology was sincere.
For years, Brittany had held a mixture of anger and resentment toward Horace for standing by Ida and letting her get away with so much. Yet, she also understood he had been deceived.
Now, as she saw Horace truly come to the truth and openly apologize, the bitterness inside her began to melt away.
Brittany shot him a teasing look. “Forget it. Let’s not bring up the past. Just promise me there won’t be another Ida.”
Horace nodded solemnly. “You have my word.”
A small smile curved Brittany’s lips.
Watching the two of them reconcile, Wendy felt a genuine warmth. “Mr. Larson, you have to learn from this. A woman’s intuition is usually right. If Ms. Brewer says no to a woman, you must trust her and never keep that woman around.”
Horace nodded. “I understand.”
Then he added, “Brittany’s condition keeps relapsing. Last time, you mentioned using my cardiogen to save her. I’ll do it. Come take my cardiogen now.”
Wendy’s lips twitched into a knowing smile. “Are you sure you’re ready? If I take your cardiogen, you’ll die.”
Horace met her gaze firmly. “I’ve already made my will.”
He pulled out the document he had prepared and handed it to Brittany. “Here, take a look.”
Brittany took the papers, flipping through Horace’s will.
He had left all his property to her.
They said a man would put his money where his heart was, and this was especially true in Horace’s case. He was a man whose wealth rivaled nations, and here he was, entrusting it all to her.
Brittany blinked in surprise. “You’re giving me everything?”

Horace nodded. “You’re my wife. Of course, everything I have belongs to you. I considered leaving some to Jessica, but she’s disappointed me too much. I worry she might turn against you if she gets the money.”
Brittany’s clear eyes grew moist, a soft shine spreading over them Horace had thought of everything for her. His love and care that had endured through the years made it extra rare and precious
Wendy smiled at Horace. “It seems you’re truly ready.”
Horace nodded firmly. “Yes, I am. Take my cardiogen.”
