Chapter 90
With a dark expression, Ivy went to unlock the door.
Just as the key was about to turn, the doorknob suddenly twisted, and the door swung open to reveal a pale and weak Thea. Wearing a nightgown, Thea looked around in confusion at Ivy who was angry before her. "Mom, what's going on?" Emmalie rushed forward, grabbing Thea's hand excitedly. "Thea, you finally decided to open the door! Everyone was so worried!"
She pushed Thea aside, her eyes eagerly searching the room.
Thea seemed anxious and quickly stepped forward to block Emmalie's gaze. I'm fine. I just don't feel well. Mom, why are there so many reporters? You need to send them away. Don't let them film this." Thea's demeanor immediately raised suspicions in Ivy.
Seething with anger, Ivy stepped forward and slapped Thea's hard. "Do you have any idea what you've done?"
Thea nearly lost her balance but managed to steady herself, looking at Ivy in shock. "Mom?"
The disappointment and hurt in Thea's eyes stung Ivy, but she couldn't help but resent Thea for the situation they were in

commanded coldly. "Who is the man in there?*
Thea covered her face in silence, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Ladeed, the blanket on Thea's bed was slightly raised, clearly forming the shape of a person.
Seeing this, Ivy lost her rationality, stomping toward the room.
Thea quickly grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Are you sure you want to go this far? Even if I did have relations with another man, you know who is really responsible for this, don't you?" That question struck Ivy like a heavy hammer to her heart.
A flicker of guilt crossed Ivy's face.
The drugs Ivy had administered were meant to bring Thea and Jake together, not to lead to this disastrous situation. Watching Thea cry in anguish made lvy's resolve waver.
Just then, Jake spoke coldly from the side. I've seen enough of this spectacle. Mrs. Rowland. I shouldn't involve myself, but!

Each word from Jake emphasized his disassociation from the Rowland family.
Ivy's face turned crimson with embarrassment.
Emmalie, seizing the opportunity, blocked Jake's path. "Jake, what do you mean? Are you breaking up with Thea
Jake scoffed. "I've been separated from her for a long time. Today, I came to see her out of nostalgia for our past relationship, but we have no connection now. I hope the Rowland family don't misunderstand."
