Kate pouted. "Don't chase me away, Ivy. I know you're pregnant. I came specially to congratulate you."
Ivy curled her red lips slightly. "Thanks. You can leave now."
Kate continued, "Honestly, I really didn't expect you to actually get pregnant. I had someone look into it. For the past three years, you and Nate never consummated the marriage. Nate doesn't have feelings for you, and you don't like Nate either. You're just a couple in name only."
Ivy raised a slender brow. "What are you trying to say?"
Kate stepped closer.
"You don't love Nate at all, do you? Three years ago, Grandpa forced you into this marriage with Nathan. Three years later, his grandfather teamed up with Grandpa to pressure you into getting pregnant as soon as possible.
"The two promised you that as long as you got pregnant, I'd never be allowed to step through the Quinn family's door again, and I'd never be allowed anywhere near Quinn Corporation. That was why you decided to get pregnant.
"I didn't expect you to succeed so quickly. How did you trick Nathan into having a child with you? You don't even love him! He, and even the baby in your belly, are just tools to you."
Kate laid out all her suspicions, then glanced toward the doorway.
Nathan wasn't there.
She couldn't tell whether Nathan had come to listen or not. In her heart, she prayed that Nathan had.
Ivy let out a cold laugh. "Looks like you planted quite a few spies around me. As for your questions, I'm not answering a single one. You can stay curious."
Kate's expression fell. "What…"
Ivy stood up. "And don't come looking for me again. Otherwise, I'll call Grandpa. You know exactly what the consequences will be."
Kate's hands, which were hanging at her sides, clenched into fists. She knew Roger was Ivy's strongest backer, and that existed because of Nathan.
As long as Nathan didn't want Ivy anymore, everything would fall apart on its own.
"Fine. I'll leave," Kate said with a dark look.
