Horace furrowed his brows sharply and said to Ida, “You need to let go of this idea. I’ve always just seen you as a sister.”
“You love Brittany, don’t you?”
Horace nodded firmly. “Yes, I love her.”
Ida took a few steps back, her voice heavy with bitterness. “Don’t blame Jessica for this. I begged her to drug you. I wanted to secure a chance for myself, even if it meant throwing myself into the fire. If you want to punish someone, punish me.”
Wendy smirked.
Ida truly lived up to her reputation as the previous winner in the love triangle between her, Horace, and Brittany. By saying that, she had helped Jessica because she knew Horace wouldn’t punish her.
Horace looked at Ida with a tired expression. “Forget it. Just go. Move out of here.”
Ida’s disappointment was palpable. “Okay. I’m leaving.”
Without another word, she turned and walked away.
Jessica called after her, “No, don’t go! Dad, are you really going to be this cold to Ms. Olsen?”
Horace’s voice turned cold and sharp. “You’d better behave. Brittany’s your mother. Have you imagined how devastated she’d be if she found out you drugged me?”
Jessica looked frightened. “I-”
“Enough! I don’t want to hear another word from you. Go to your room and think about what you’ve done!”
Jessica shot Wendy a glare, then reluctantly went upstairs to her room.
Wendy smiled with satisfaction. Both Jessica and Ida had lost this round.
As Ida walked out of the Larson family’s estate, a luxury car pulled up, and Brittany stepped out.
Ida studied Brittany; she wore a silk gown that hugged her figure perfectly, her curves beautifully defined. She looked radiant- clearly a woman who had been well cared for by a man.
As Brittany got out of the car, she immediately spotted Ida. Truthfully, she had come over just to stir the pot, curious to see what trouble Ida had caused.
With a mocking smile, Brittany called out, “Why are you out here? thought you’d be inside, crying, yelling, or even threatening to hurt yourself.”
Ida was speechless. She had already done all three, but Wendy had ruined her performance.
She cursed inwardly, thinking the mother and daughter were equally annoying.
Ida fought back with a bitter question. “Was Horace with you last night?”
Brittany’s lips curved into a victorious smirk. “Yes, we stayed up all night.”
She stepped forward, sneering. “You’re terrible at this. You climbed into his bed, but you couldn’t keep him. He still came to me!
Ida clenched her fists. “Do you really think you’ve won?”
Brittany laughed lightly. “Well, our war isn’t over yet, but you lost the battle last night. Thanks for the aphrodisiac powder, by the way. Horace and I had a wonderful time! Oh, and he told me that he hasn’t had any other woman by his side all these years and only wants me.”

Ida bit her nails so hard that it drew blood, but she didn’t feel the pain. The truth was, the one she had really lost to wasn’t Brittany–it was Horace.
She had lost to him, to his love for Brittany.
She couldn’t understand what Brittany had that she didn’t.
Brittany stood tall and proud. “Horace and I are legally married. You’re trying to steal a married man, and you’re destined to lose.

Ida stepped up close, a cold smile playing on her lips. “This isn’t over. We’ll see who wins and who loses in the end.”
