Ida pulled out a small packet of medicinal powder and handed it to Jessica. “Take this.”
Jessica took it cautiously. “What is it?”

Ida’s lips curled into a sly smile. “It’s aphrodisiac powder. Tonight you’re going to make a cup of coffee for Horace and slip this into it. He will only be relieved after he gets intimate with a woman Tonight, I’m going to become Horace’s woman.”
Ida had already prepared her body carefully. If she and Horace slept together tonight, she would get pregnant and bear a child.
Once she got pregnant, she would hold all the cards again and defeat Brittany for good.
Jessica looked at Ida in surprise. “Did you buy this aphrodisiac powder? Are you sure it’ll work?”
Ida answered confidently, “I made it myself. It’s absolutely effective.”
Jessica’s eyes widened. “You know medicine, too?”
“Yes. Enough questions. Just do as I say. There’s still time. If Horace trades his life for Brittany’s, we’re both finished. You don’t want to lose everything and go back to nothing, do you?”
Jessica shook her head hard. Of course, she didn’t want that.
She had grown used to living as the richest man’s daughter, to this life of endless luxury. She refused to fall from heaven into hell.
Now, her fate depended on Ida. She had no choice but to do as she was told.
“Alright. I’ll make the coffee right now!”
“Good. Go.”
Jessica carefully brewed the coffee herself, stirred the aphrodisiac powder into the cup, and then knocked on the study door.
“Dad, it’s me.”
“Come in,” Horace called.
Jessica pushed open the door and stepped inside. She set the coffee down on his desk. “I made this coffee for you.”
Horace looked at her. “Do you realize what you did wrong?”
Of course not!
“I do. I shouldn’t have been so difficult or stubborn. I shouldn’t have upset Mom or spoken badly about her. I’m sorry.”
She added with a pitiful tone, “I didn’t grow up with you and Mom around. I’ve always felt insecure. I’d ask you for things because I needed to know you loved me. I really need your love, both yours and mom’s, because I love you both so much.”
Hearing this, Horace’s heart softened. After all, Jessica was his and Brittany’s only daughter. He was planning to exchange his life for Brittany’s, but he still hoped Jessica could change for the better afterward.
“I’m glad you understand your mistakes. Your mom and I love you‘
Jessica slid the coffee closer to Horace. “Try the coffee. I made it myself.”
“Okay.”
Horace picked up the cup and took a sip.
Jessica eagerly asked, “How is it?”

Horace nodded. “It’s good.”
“Drink the rest, please.”
Horace finished the entire cup.
Jessica smiled with satisfaction. “Okay. I’m heading back downstairs. I’ll get out of your hair.”
Horace nodded. “Alright.”
Jessica left the study and saw Ida waiting in the hallway. She gave a an “OK” hand sign.
Ida was not surprised.

Horace wouldn’t suspect a thing if Jessica were the one who slipped the powder into his coffee. Soon, the aphrodisiac powder would take effect.
Ida smiled to herself and went back to her room.
She took off her clothes and prepared a milk and rose petal bath. Though she was in her forties, she had never borne any children and had taken good care of herself, so her skin still glowed with youthful radiance.
