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 . ”
