My Mother-in-law Gave My Daughter Sleeping Pills1

As the SAT approached, I suddenly discovered that Mia had been putting sleeping pills into my daughter's milk every day.

Under my repeated questioning, she confessed that she had consulted a fortune-teller.

The fortune-teller told her that the worse my daughter did on the SAT, the better Sophia would perform.

Later, the entire family pressured me to have my outstanding daughter Jessica withdraw from the SAT to clear the way for Sophia's exam.

Enraged, I decided to file for divorce, only to uncover the shocking truth that Sophia was, in fact, his daughter.

I noticed that something was off with my daughter, Jessica Williams.

Usually cheerful and full of life, she had recently become lethargic, struggling to muster any enthusiasm for anything, and was unusually sleepy.

It was not only hard to wake up in the mornings, but she was even falling asleep openly during math class.

This was completely unlike Jessica, who was now in her senior year of high school, with only a month left before she would take the SAT. Jessica had always been an exemplary student, with her sights set on Yale University.
