“Are you happy now? You stole Horace from me! You took my place as Mrs. Larson! Everything you have now should’ve belonged to me!”
Brittany sneered coldly. “You’ve really lost your mind. You’ve been coveting my husband all along, and you even used Coldost witchcraft to hurt me. You brought this on yourself!”
Ida slowly stood up. “So what if I brought it on myself? Your own ughter doesn’t even like you. She’d rather be with me!”
She turned her gaze toward Jessica. “Do you want Brittany to be your mom?”
Jessica knew this was the moment she had to choose.
She walked over to Ida’s side. “No, I don’t.”
Brittany’s heart shattered. Jessica was her and Horace’s child, but Jessica kept crossing her boundaries, breaking her heart over and over.
Jessica hadn’t grown up with Brittany and Horace these past years. Brittany saw it as her failure, as if she had let her daughter
down.
Now, watching Jessica step toward the schemin
Jessica snapped, “Shut up!”
Ida, Brittany desperately tried to call her back. “Jessica!”
Brittany was stunned. Horace reached out and pulled her into his arms.
“You’re my biological parents, but you don’t love me. You never give me what I want. Ms. Olsen has always been there for me. Now, I want to be with her. Remember this–if anything happens to me, it’s your fault. You never did your duty as parents. You pushed me to this,” Jessica said firmly.
“Jessica!” Brittany’s face went pale.
Seeing Brittany’s reaction, Ida felt a rush of satisfaction. This was exactly what she wanted–to see Brittany suffer. At the very least, Jessica was the perfect weapon against Brittany.
Ida looked at Jessica. “Who do you want to be your mother?”
Jessica answered without hesitation, “I want you to be my mom.”
“Good,” Ida said, smiling with triumph. “Then call me Mom right now.”
Brittany tried to stop her. “Jessica!”
Horace looked at Jessica seriously. “You’d better think this through. If you hurt your mother like this… There’s no going back.” Yet Jessica stared at Ida resolutely and called out, “Mom!”
Jessica called Ida her mother.
Brittany felt the strength drain from her body. She nearly collapsed to the floor.
Horace tightened his arms around her. He could feel her trembling her body ice cold. He pressed his warmth against her skin, trying to give her heat, trying to give her strength.
Wendy stared at Jessica. “How could you turn your back on your mother?”
“You make me sick!” Halsey spat.
But Jessica didn’t care. She believed her only chance at survival was with Ida now. She had planned all of this carefully–she

wasn’t ready to lose everything.
Ida laughed triumphantly. “Brittany, you’ve lost your daughter. You got what you deserved.”
Wendy shot a fierce look at Ida. “You’re the mastermind behind all this! Twenty years ago, you tried to harm Ms. Brewer. Now, you want to hurt Stanley. You’re the worst of all. How did you learn Coldost witchcraft?”
Ida smirked. “Years ago, I ran into a Coldost witchcraft master. She saw potential in me, so she took me as her apprentice and taught me everything.‘

Wendy’s expression hardened. “Just like I thought. Hurry and break the curse now!”
