The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 1110

Roger had yet to acknowledge Kate’s presence. Until he did, the Quinn family had decided it was best for her to remain hidden from Nathan, the esteemed heir of the Lowe family. The atmosphere felt thick with tension, a silent agreement among them to shield their family from any potential embarrassment.

Nathan’s gaze flickered in her direction, curiosity etched on his handsome features. “And you are?” he inquired, his voice smooth yet commanding.

Kate turned to face Nathan, her heart racing as her eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky, filled with admiration and unspoken longing. She had seen him from afar, the elite husband of a prominent family, and had been captivated by him the moment their paths had crossed.

But reality crashed down on her like a wave; he was out of her reach, a dream too far away to ever grasp.

With Nathan finally addressing her, Kate seized the moment, her voice trembling with excitement, “Hi, Nathan. I’m Kate, Bry’s sister.”

Nathan’s brow furrowed slightly as he turned to Ivy, confusion flickering in his eyes. “Sister? I thought the Quinns only had one daughter.”

Ivy’s gaze pierced through Kate, a smirk playing on her lips. “You heard him, right? The Quinns only have one daughter, and you’re just an illegitimate daughter. Perhaps you should reconsider claiming me as your sister. Honestly, it’s quite embarrassing.”

Kate’s face drained of color, her expression shifting to one of vulnerability and hurt. She felt like a ghost, invisible and pitiful in that moment.

“How can you say that?” she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. “Even if you’ve never treated me like a sister, I have always seen you as mine. I was genuinely thrilled to see you with Nathan just now.”

“I’d be even happier if you could leave right now,” Ivy retorted, her tone flat and devoid of empathy.

The words struck Kate like a slap, leaving her momentarily speechless, frozen in place.

Despite Kate’s talent for feigning sweetness and innocence, Ivy had an uncanny ability to see through that façade, dismantling it with a single, cutting remark. Throughout their lives, Kate had never once managed to gain the upper hand against Ivy.

Just then, Wendy interjected, attempting to diffuse the tension that hung thick in the air.

“Why don’t we get back to dinner?” she suggested, her voice warm and inviting.

Kate turned her attention to Wendy, noticing her sitting beside Stanley. The moment her eyes landed on Stanley, they lit up once more, brimming with interest and intrigue.

“Ivy, who are they?” she inquired, her tone sweet and disarming.

“This is Mr. Stanley Hawk,” Ivy replied, her voice steady, “and this is Dr. Wendy Crone.”

Kate blinked in surprise, her mind racing. So this was Stanley Hawk, the illustrious CEO of Hawk Enterprises, and Wendy Crone, the esteemed physician known for her groundbreaking work.

Her heart raced as she glanced at Stanley. At her age, discussions of marriage were becoming more frequent, yet her reputation as the illegitimate daughter of the Quinns had made every potential match arranged by her father feel like a distant fantasy.

Still, she couldn’t help but notice the powerful and influential men surrounding her, each one a reminder of the world she longed to be a part of.

Jealousy simmered within her, a slow burn that threatened to consume her.

Ivy had grown up as the rightful daughter of the Quinns, enjoying the finest education, resources, and connections. She possessed the intellect and ambition to make the most of them.

In stark contrast, Kate felt like a mere shadow, a pale imitation of the life Ivy led.

Adopting her sweetest smile, Kate chirped, “Mr. Hawk, Dr. Crone, it’s a pleasure to meet you both!”

Stanley cast her a brief, cool glance before responding, “Let’s get back to dinner.”

Ivy stood up, breaking the moment. “Excuse me. I need to use the restroom.”

With that, she walked away, leaving Kate feeling even more isolated.

A moment later, Kate rose as well. “Nathan, Mr. Hawk, Dr. Crone, see you later!” she called out, her voice tinged with forced cheerfulness.

Then, she hurried after Ivy, her heart pounding with a mix of determination and desperation.

Ivy was already halfway down the corridor when she heard the familiar sound of footsteps trailing behind her. She knew Kate was following her, and it filled her with a mix of annoyance and resignation.

Ivy stopped abruptly and turned around, her expression cold. “How long do you plan on trailing me?”

Kate flashed an innocent smile, a mask for her ulterior motives. “I heard you came to the Capital, so I thought I’d join you. Dad approved it. He told me to follow you and learn from you.”

“Oh, really?” Ivy replied, her smile icy and unyielding.

Kate blinked, feigning hurt. “You don’t believe me? Fine, I’ll have Dad call you.”

With a swift motion, she pulled out her phone and dialed Edric Quinn’s number, her heart racing with anticipation.

A moment later, his voice came through the line, warm and familiar.

“Hey, Kate. Did you make it to the Capital?”

“I did, Dad!” she exclaimed sweetly, her tone bright. “I’m with Ivy right now. You should talk to her.”

Holding out the phone toward Ivy, Kate said, “Dad wants to speak with you.”

The air between them crackled with unspoken tension, the stakes rising as they stood on the precipice of a confrontation that neither of them could avoid.
