Chapter 696

作者: Glazed Snow
Now that Brittany was back, Horace felt his head spinning with frustration.

"What's wrong? Are you having another headache? Sit still. I'll give you a head massage," Ida said softly, her voice gentle.

Horace often suffered from headaches, so she had learned some massage techniques to help him.

Horace shook his head. "I have to meet Brittany at noon. I'm going back to my study now."

With that, he went upstairs.

Ida watched his retreating figure, her heart swirling with jealousy and resentme

    The crowd quickly chimed in. "We don't mind waiting. Mr. Lowe must just be tied up with work.""Getting to see Mr. Lowe at all would be an honor."Tabitha leaned closer to Ivy and lowered her voice. "Is he here yet?"Ivy looked at Roger. "Grandpa, Nathan isn't coming today."What?Roger stiffened. "What did you just say? Nathan isn't coming?"Tabitha frowned. "Why isn't he here? It's your grandfather's birthday. Didn't you say he'd come with you?"Ivy stayed calm. "There's a problem with one of Lowe Group's overseas projects, so Nathan had to fly out overnight. He feels terrible about missing your birthday, but he asked me to pass along his wishes and hopes you have many more years ahead."So Nathan had gone on a business trip.Roger wasn't pleased. Of all times, it had to be today. Still, he kept it off his face. "I see. Work comes first."Tabitha quickly smoothed things over. "Men have responsibilities. The Lowe family runs a massive operation. Nathan's the heir, so it's on

    Kate's eyes lit up as she blurted out, "Oh my god! Mr. Lowe's actually out on a date with another woman!"Noelle was thrilled. Nathan skipping the party had already been a pleasant surprise, but this photo was even better!Then, her phone rang.She picked up. "Hello."The same familiar male voice came through. "Are you happy with the photo?""More than happy," Noelle said, her voice sharp with excitement. "Tonight is Roger's birthday party. Not only did Nathan not show up, but he's also out on a date with some woman. If this gets out to Roger and everyone here, Ivy's done for! She won't be able to recover from it.""My people already checked," the man said. "Nathan's overseas on a business trip. Right now, he's having dinner at a steakhouse with a woman. From what I hear, they're pretty close. Definitely not just business.""I got it. Thanks for this," Noelle replied.He chuckled. "No need. Kate's my daughter, after all."Noelle replied, "Don't worry. I'll make it worth your w

    Jealousy churned under Noelle's calm expression.She nodded to Kate. "Yes, Ivy's here. Where's Mr. Lowe?"Kate glanced over, then her face lit up. "He didn't come!""What?" Noelle snapped.She looked again. Ivy had stepped out of the car and gone in alone. There was no sign of Nathan anywhere.A sharp smile spread across Noelle's face. "I can't believe this. Nathan actually didn't show up. This couldn't be better!"Kate's eyes gleamed. "Tonight's party was supposed to revolve around him. Grandpa's been waiting for him this whole time. Now that he's not here, this is going to get interesting!"Noelle pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Hello."A man's voice came through almost immediately. "Noelle? Well, that's a surprise. You're calling me first? I thought you didn't want me reaching out, in case Edric found out.""I'm calling about something important. Cut it out," she said flatly."Alright, what is it?""I need you to find out where Mr. Lowe is right now."There wa

    Noelle nodded obediently. "Alright. Go on in."Edric glanced at Noelle and Kate, then said, "You two should head home early. I'll have the driver take you back first. Once the birthday party wraps up, I'll come home and spend time with you."He made the arrangements with careful thought.Noelle shook her head. "We don't want to go home. Even if your dad won't acknowledge Kate, she's always respected him in her heart. If he won't let her in, then we'll just stay out here. It still counts as celebrating his birthday. When it's over, we'll all go home together."Edric froze for a second, clearly moved. He looked at her with softened eyes. "Don't worry. I'll never let you down.""I know. I'd give anything for you, even die for you.""Hey, don't say things like that," Edric cut her off. "We're going to stay together for the rest of our lives.""Yes. Go on, don't keep them waiting," Noelle said with a soft smile."Alright. I'll go in now."Edric hesitated before finally turning and

    "Dad, Kate is already outside," Edric said quickly. "She's a good girl, very polite and well behaved. She said she'll only come in if you allow it. If not, she'll just stay outside and celebrate your birthday from there. You should meet her. You'd definitely love her!"Tabitha let out a cold snort. In her eyes, that illegitimate girl had clearly inherited her mother's talent for sweet talk.Roger looked straight at Edric."Tell her to go home."The refusal came without hesitation."Dad!" Edric exclaimed, aghast. Roger's expression hardened. "Tabitha said one thing that was absolutely right. Ivy is the only daughter of the Quinn family. I won't acknowledge anyone else."Edric's face fell instantly. Without another word, he turned and walked away.Outside the estate gates, Kate and Noelle were waiting in a luxury sedan. They had been sitting there the entire time, waiting for Edric to fight their way in and bring back an answer.Kate looked increasingly anxious. "Mom, do you th

    The next day arrived quickly. It was Roger's birthday.The Quinn family estate was lit up from end to end with decorations. Outside the mansion, luxury cars lined the long driveway one after another. The whole place looked grand and lively.Several young women from prominent families stood together, chatting excitedly."Mr. Quinn's birthday party sure is huge!""Well, of course it is. The Quinn family went all out this time. Every big name in the business world showed up.""Look, look! Mr. Quinn's coming out."The man of the hour finally appeared.Roger walked out wearing a black suit, leaning lightly on a cane. His eyes looked cloudy with age, but there was still a sharp glint in them that made it clear that he had spent a lifetime in power.People immediately gathered around him with smiles and congratulations."Mr. Quinn, wishing you a long life and continued success."Roger laughed happily. "Thank you, everyone. It means a lot that you all came to celebrate with me today.

    Just then, the doctor called out from outside, "Mr. Neel, come here and pick up the test results.""Alright, I'm coming."Martin stepped out of the room. That left Shaun alone in the hospital room, still fast asleep in his bed.Suddenly, with a quiet creak, the door pushed open and someone walked

    Halsey's face turned bright red, her breath quick and uneven. "Shaun…"Shaun's voice came out hoarse as he murmured, "Chelsea…"He called out Chelsea's name.Halsey felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over her head. The chill went straight to her bones.So he thought she was Chels

    Patricia gently took Halsey's hand in hers. "No matter what's happened between you and Mr. Lane, we will always remember the kindness he's shown us. How about this—you give him a call, see if he has some time. Your father and I want to invite him over for a meal to express our thanks."Cyril nodd

    "Enough!" Madeline snapped at Warren, her voice sharp and fierce. "That's nonsense! Halsey would never abandon Shaun! Sure, Chelsea has been by his side these past three years, but Halsey has taken care of me all this time. When I lost my mom and my brother wasn't around, Halsey gave me a home.
