Chapter 57

Author: Glazed Snow
As soon as Wendy stepped through the door, no one bothered to greet her. She stood quietly to the side, feeling completely out of place amidst the lively atmosphere.

Lilian's voice broke the silence. "Wendy, you're back."

Everyone turned their attention toward her, their eyes locking onto Wendy in unison.

Edith's smile immediately vanished. A look of disdain crossed her face. "Why is Wendy back?"

Lilian chuckled lightly. "Mom, it's your birthday today. I asked Wendy to come."

Edith's tone soured. "I don't need her here. Look at Trish and Jessica—how impressive they are! And then look at Wendy. She's just a country bumpkin with no standing. She can't even hold her own in a room like this. She's nothing but a disgrace at my birthday celebration!"

It was clear Edith had no love for Wendy.

Tonight, Jessica and Trish had both done their makeup to perfection, competing to outshine each other. They cast a condescending glance at Wendy before sweetly addressing Edith.

  • The Heartbreak Prescription   Chapter 1158

    Ivy read through the divorce agreement carefully herself. There were no issues at all.She slowly picked up the pen, moved to the signature line at the bottom, and began to sign.She wrote the first stroke of her name, then suddenly froze. She didn't know why, but a flicker of reluctance rose inside her.Ivy had thought she could sign without hesitation, but in that moment, scenes with Nathan replayed vividly in her mind.His manners. His gentleness. His dominance. The way he had stood up for her.Every detail played back with unsettling clarity.A thought flashed through her head.Had she fallen for Nathan?That was impossible!Ivy cut the thought off immediately. She believed a rational woman wouldn't fall in love. She had sworn long ago that romance would never be part of her life.She tightened her grip on the pen and signed her name in one swift motion.Just then, her phone chimed.Ivy glanced down. It was a message from Wanda.Wanda had sent over the prenatal appoint

    Ivy's mind went completely blank. She didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't know what she was supposed to say.Before she could even react, Nathan broke eye contact, turned, and went upstairs.His attitude was distant and cold, snapping straight back to the unfamiliar distance they had had before.No, it was worse than before.Ivy's fingers slowly curled around the milk glass. In her heart, she had already prepared herself for divorce.At least this was the better outcome. He hadn't gone after the baby. He hadn't forced her to terminate the pregnancy. In his own way, he had left her some dignity."Mr. Lowe, why are you going upstairs?" Wanda looked at Nathan, confused."Wanda," Ivy called out."Mrs. Lowe, what's going on with Mr. Lowe?" she asked. "He found out I'm pregnant.""He did?" Wanda's eyes lit up. "That's wonderful! You should've told him right away. But… Why doesn't he look happy at all?"Wanda took Ivy's hand, comforting her. "The baby you're carryi

    Ivy could only tell a small, well-intentioned lie.Wanda frowned. "It's so late, and he still went back to the office? No job is more important than family."Ivy smiled faintly and didn't respond.After finishing the soup, Ivy returned to her bedroom. She took a long, hot shower, then climbed into bed.She stared at the empty space beside her, and Nathan's handsome face surfaced in her mind. Where was he right now? Would he come home tonight?Ivy understood Nathan's anger completely. Someone as gifted and proud as he carried a deep sense of self-respect. She was probably the first person who had ever dared to use him this way.Even if she had a hundred reasons and a thousand excuses, she couldn't say them out loud. No one in this world was obligated to tolerate another person unconditionally.As for what Nathan would do next, she had no idea.Whatever choice he made, she couldn't interfere.Ivy rested her hand gently on her lower abdomen and whispered, "Let's sleep now."He

    Nathan said nothing. He straightened up, took a few steps back, then turned around and walked out.He left.Ivy slowly opened her eyes. Large tears still slid down.At that moment, a gentle ringtone broke the silence. Her phone was ringing.Ivy took out her phone. It was Tabitha calling. She answered, and her mother's voice came through immediately. "Hello, Ivy dear.""Mom.""Ivy, that illegitimate girl went to see you, didn't she? You're pregnant now. That homewrecker and her daughter must be panicking. The Quinns won't let them through the door. Quinn Corporation kicked them out, too. Watching them fall apart is so satisfying! It really eased some of the anger I've been carrying all these years."Ivy stared at the ceiling of her office and didn't say a word."Why aren't you saying anything?" Tabitha asked."It's nothing, Mom. I'm listening.""You're pregnant now. Don't work yourself so hard. You have to make sure the baby is born safe and healthy.""Okay.""I know how h

    Ivy immediately placed her hand over her still flat lower abdomen. "But we already have a baby. I won't let you hurt my child."Nathan wrapped an arm around her soft waist and pulled her hard against him. "Is that how you're going to speak to me now? You've been lying to me and using me this whole time. Who gave you the nerve to act like you did nothing wrong?"What was she supposed to do? Grovel and beg him for forgiveness?"Well, I've said it. As long as you don't touch this baby, you can do whatever you want," Ivy said.Nathan asked coldly, "Like what?""Like… If you want to divorce me, I'll agree to it."What was she talking about?Nathan's breathing sank instantly. If looks could kill, Ivy would've died a thousand times over already. Fury flared in his eyes. "So you'd agree to a divorce? How generous. Should I be thanking you for that?""I…"Ivy tried to speak, but Nathan suddenly lowered his head and sealed her red lips with his.She froze, only reacting when his un

    Nathan stepped closer. Ivy couldn't help backing up, already keenly aware of the chill radiating off him.Even though his face showed no emotion, the coldness around him was still suffocating.Ivy felt guilty, but she was more frightened and panicked. Nathan had arrived long ago. Had he heard everything?"I…" Ivy started.Seeing the evasiveness in her eyes, Nathan curled his lips into a cold smile. "Why aren't you talking now? Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"Ivy backed up until she hit the edge of the desk and couldn't retreat any farther. She could only ask again, "You got here a while ago, didn't you? And you heard everything Kate and I said?"Nathan stopped in front of her. His tall frame cast a shadow over her. "This is when you answer my questions. Let me ask you: Do you have anything you want to say to me?"The barely restrained anger in his eyes made it instantly clear. He had heard it all.Since he already knew, there was no point in hiding it anymor
