Chapter 731
ared at the two women . “ Last night , I was drugged with aphrodisiac powder . What exactly happened ? ”
He then turned his gaze to Jessica . “ I remember now . You made in that cup of coffee last night . After drinking it , I felt something was wrong with my body . You put aphrodisiac powder in my coffee , didn’t you ? ”
Jessica’s face went pale . “ … ”
Wendy shifted her attention to Ida . “ Ms. Olsen , Mr. Larson went to take a shower after being drugged . When he came out , he found you lying on the bed . So , you and Jessica were working together , right ? ”
Before Jessica or Ida could respond , Wendy turned sharply back to Horace .
“ I’m sure they plotted this together . Jessica drugged your coffee , and Ms. Olsen was waiting on the bed . They staged the whole thing perfectly . ”
Horace’s gaze darkened with fury as he glared at both of them . “ Tell me what really happened ! ”
Jessica hesitated , then stammered , “ Y – You’re right . I drugged you last night . ”
“ Why would you do that ? ”
Wendy pressed , “ You drugged Mr. Larson so Ms. Olsen could get in his bed , right ? But why ? Ms. Brewer is your real mother . Why betray her ? ”
Jessica shot a glare at Wendy . “ Enough . Shut up ! ”
No sooner had Jessica spoken than Horace raised his hand and struck her hard across the face . The sharp , heavy slap echoed through the room as her head jerked sideways from the blow .
She clutched her stinging cheek , staring at Horace in shock . “ How could you hit me again ? This is the second time ! ”
Horace’s anger boiled over . “ You remember this is the second time I’ve hit you , but you seem to have forgotten why ! Brittany is your biological mother . Why would you do something like this ? ”
Jessica opened her mouth to reply , but before she could , Ida stepped between them .
“ If anyone’s to blame for this , blame me . I— ”
Ida tried to take the blame as a shield , but Wendy cut her off sharply . “ Why would you drug Mr. Larson ? I thought you had no improper feelings for him . After all these years by his side , were you just waiting for a chance to sleep with him , to replace Ms. Brewer as Mrs. Larson ? Are you in love with Mr. Larson ? ”
One question after another hit Ida like a volley of arrows , draining the color from her face .
She wanted to be angry , but dared not speak . Instead , she shot Wendy a fierce glare .
Wendy’s lips curled into a sly smile . She had seen all kinds of fake innocence before . She wasn’t fooled by Ida’s act .
Brittany came from a respected family and was a true socialite , so it made sense that she couldn’t outplay Ida’s underhanded tricks .
But Wendy could take on anyone .
Horace then fixed his eyes on Ida . “ Do you really have feelings for me ? But years ago , you said you only saw me as a brother , and I’ve only ever thought of you as a sister . I’m married to Brittany , and she’s the real Mrs. Larson . ”
At this moment , Ida decided to lay her cards on the table . “ Yes , I have feelings for you . I love you ! ”

Horace , stunned , looked at Ida in disbelief – he never realized she had feelings for him .
“ I love you ! Do you know why I haven’t gotten married all these years ? Because I was waiting for you . I spent the best years of my youth on you . Brittany’s your wife , but she doesn’t cherish you want you . I love you ! ” Ida declared boldly .
