The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 1192
Every guest in the room turned toward the boxes."Mr. Lowe, are those gifts for Mr. Quinn?""What's inside?""Open them. Let us see!"Nathan opened the first rosewood box himself. The interior was lined with white velvet, and a pearl necklace rested in the center.Each pearl was perfectly round and luminous, with a soft silvery sheen. A rare deep-red ruby was set into the clasp, catching the light from the chandeliers and scattering brilliant flashes across the room. It was clearly an extraordinary piece."I found this White Empress necklace at an auction overseas while I was there on business," Nathan said. "It's one of a kind."A collective gasp swept through the room.Nathan then opened the second box. Inside lay an exquisite rosary made of flawless rock crystal, each bead perfectly clear and engraved with a tiny cross."Grandpa, I know how much your faith means to you. I had this rosary blessed by the bishop at St. Matthew's Cathedral. May it bring you peace, comfort, an

Roger had not only torn into Noelle but also punished Edric. His position couldn't have been clearer. Everyone in the room now understood that Ivy would one day inherit the Quinn family fortune.Roger turned to Nathan, regret in his eyes. "Nathan, I'm sorry our family drama dragged you into this and put both you and Ivy in such an uncomfortable position."Nathan gave a slight nod, his expression softening as the tension around him faded. "You don't need to apologize, Grandpa. I know the Quinn family wasn't behind this. You handled it fairly and stood up for both Ivy and me. That's what matters."Nathan then turned to his assistant, Baxter. "Document everything and follow standard procedure. Have Lowe Group's legal department send a formal cease-and-desist letter regarding the false accusations and deliberate attempt to damage my marriage."Baxter nodded. "Understood, Mr. Lowe."That was enough to make everyone in the room uneasy. Whoever had started this would now have to an

Noelle went silent on the other end of the line. She didn't expect Roger to call her out so bluntly, let alone embarrass her in front of everyone.The sob in her voice faltered as she rushed to defend herself. "Mr. Quinn, I don't understand what you mean. I was only trying to help.""Help?" Roger gave a cold laugh. "You gave Edric a cropped photo and told him to show it today, while half the city's most influential families were gathered at my birthday party. Explain to me how that was supposed to help anyone."The guests nearby had gone quiet. They hadn't been able to hear much of the call before, but Roger made no effort to lower his voice now. Every word carried across the ballroom.The room fell silent as people turned to look at Edric. By then, everyone understood that Noelle, the woman on the other end of the line, was behind the entire stunt.Panic crept into Noelle's voice. "Mr. Quinn, the photo looked like that when I got it. How was I supposed to know it had been cropped

Edric's stomach twisted. Roger was actually going to speak to Noelle.For years, Noelle had been desperate to win Roger's approval. Under any other circumstances, Edric would've been thrilled that his father was finally willing to take her call.But Roger clearly wasn't answering to welcome her into the family."Dad, let me get that," Edric said quickly.Roger gave him a sharp look. "I said I'll handle it."His tone left no room for argument.Edric fell silent.Roger answered the call.Noelle's soft voice came through immediately. "Edric, how's it going?"Outside, Noelle and Kate were still sitting in the back of a luxury sedan, eagerly waiting for the scene inside to play out. They were certain the photo would ruin Ivy's reputation for good.Kate leaned in excitedly. "Did Dad pick up? Put him on speaker. I hope Grandpa gets so angry that he throws Ivy out and finally lets us into the family. Then I'll be his favorite granddaughter."Noelle shot her a warning look, then pu

"Nathan, who is that woman?" Roger asked."She's the general counsel for one of our overseas business partners," Nathan replied calmly. "We were meeting to discuss a multibillion-dollar acquisition, and three other executives were sitting at the table with us. Whoever took the photo cropped them out on purpose to make it look like we were alone."The guests immediately began whispering among themselves."She's a corporate attorney?"Just then, Nathan's assistant walked in. "Mr. Lowe, I have the café's security footage.""Put it on the screen," Nathan said.The full, unedited footage soon appeared on the large screen.It clearly showed all five of them entering the café together. Throughout the meeting, Nathan and the woman kept a polite, professional distance. Nothing even remotely inappropriate happened.The so-called private date was manufactured by someone who deliberately cropped the others out of the photo to create a scandal.The ballroom erupted in shocked murmurs."So

Ivy froze, her heart skipping a beat as she looked up at the tall man standing in front of her.Nathan wore a tailored black suit, the chill from outside still clinging to his coat. He had clearly come straight from the airport after flying halfway around the world, yet even the exhaustion of a long trip on a private jet did nothing to dull his commanding presence.The moment he entered the ballroom, the noisy birthday party fell silent.The guests who had been whispering and waiting for a scene now stared openly at the two of them.Ivy and Nathan's eyes met. She looked into his steady gaze and saw her own reflection.At that moment, she was the only person in the room he seemed to notice. Her mind went blank, and for a second, she forgot how to respond.Tabitha gave her a gentle push from the side. "Go on. Go to him."Ivy slowly stepped forward. "What are you doing here?"Nathan slipped an arm around her waist.Ivy tensed at the unexpected contact. Then he leaned closer and s

No man could stand being challenged like that; especially Gilbert, who had always been deeply bothered by Dwight's shadow hanging over him.Gilbert sneered coldly at Halsey, "I'm going to make you pay tonight!"He reached out to grab her collar, his fingers aiming to tear at her clothes.But in t

Halsey froze for a moment when she heard Madeline calling the man "Dwight". She knew Madeline was mistaking this man for her brother. A few days ago, when Halsey first saw him, she had almost made the same mistake.Quickly, Halsey said, "He's not Dwight.""Yes, he is! I couldn't be wrong! He's d

Gilbert's subordinate stammered nervously, "W-We've done everything we can, but the cab company has no record of this driver. His information is completely blank."Gilbert couldn't believe he wasn't even able to track down a single driver on his territory. He snarled, "You're useless!"Then, he hu
