The Heartbreak Prescription (by Glazed Snow) novel Chapter 1193

Edric froze.

Tabitha looked at him, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Edric, you ruined my life. If it hadn't been for Ivy, I might not even be alive today. I'll never forgive you for that. At this point, I'm just waiting to see where all of this gets you."

Edric frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Tabitha stepped closer. "It's bad enough that you chose your mistress over me, but Ivy is your own daughter. And today, you almost ruined her life over one photo."

Edric's throat tightened. After everything that had happened between him and Tabitha, he had never been especially close to Ivy, but he never wanted to hurt his own daughter.

"Ivy is my daughter, too. Why would I ever want to ruin her life?"

"Maybe you didn't mean to, but did you even think about what would happen when you showed everyone that photo? If Nathan hadn't gotten there when he did, did you ever stop to think about what Ivy would've had to deal with afterward?" Tabitha pressed.

"I…"

"Edric, everyone but you can see exactly what kind of woman you've gotten involved with. She's manipulative and calculating. Sooner or later, she's going to drag you down with her. And when she does, I'll be there to watch it happen."

With that, Tabitha turned and walked away.

Edric stood there alone, unable to move.

Could Noelle really be that manipulative?

No. Noelle was sweet and straightforward. She couldn't be.

Outside the house, a black luxury sedan sat parked beneath the trees. Inside, the silence was so tense that it felt suffocating.

Noelle and Kate sat in the back seat. Everything they'd planned for the birthday party had blown up in their faces.

Noelle had been forcing herself to stay calm ever since they left, but by now, the jealousy and anger eating at her were impossible to hide.

She stared at the brightly lit house, thinking about everything Tabitha and Ivy had that she didn't, and dug her nails into her palms. Her carefully made-up face twisted with bitterness.

"What a joke. This whole thing is a damn joke."
