Chapter 129 Throwing Her Out
After hanging up, the receptionist looked at Lydia.
Lydia had not heard what Miles said on the phone.
She still carried herself arrogantly, smoothing her clothes as if nothing were wrong.
“So?” she said. “Can I go wait in his office now?”
That girl really didn’t know who she was dealing with. She was a Hawthorne.
In New York, where was there anywhere she couldn’t go?
Yet this receptionist had dared block her for a full ten minutes. She would settle that score later.
The receptionist looked at Lydia.
She said nothing. Instead, she picked up the phone and dialed another number. The call connected almost immediately.
In a firm, professional tone, the receptionist said into the phone, “Please send two security officers to escort a visitor.”
Lydia’s expression changed instantly

The receptionist set the phone down.
Lydia’s temper finally snapped. “What do you mean by that? What do you mean, send security to escort a visitor?”
She had heard that phrasing before at Hawthorne Group.
She knew exactly what it meant.
Was this woman trying to have her thrown out?
Lydia’s face darkened by the second.
The receptionist lifted her gaze, her large eyes steady as she looked at Lydia. “Ma’am, will you leave on your own, or would you prefer security to escort you out?”
“You dare throw me out?” Lydia snapped. “Do you know who my brother is? Dominic Hawthorne. Do you want to die for treating me like this?”
The receptionist replied calmly, “I don’t have the authority to do that.”
Lydia froze.
She doesn’t have the authority?

authority is… Grant?
“Grant isn’t out of the office at all, is he?” Lydia ground out. “He’s there, isn’t he?”
“He refuses to see me?”
“Please don’t make this difficult for me,” the receptionist said.
The moment those words left her mouth, Lydia raised her hand and slapped her across the face.
Grant and Miles had just walked in and saw everything.
Grant’s expression darkened immediately.
Miles was startled as well, his face turning just as cold.
No one had ever dared cause trouble like this inside Fletcher
Group.
“You’re just a receptionist, and you dare block me?” Lydia lashed out. “You’ve been in a fancy building like this too long and forgotten your place.”
She hurled the insult without restraint.
The receptionist had already seen Grant. She covered her cheek

“Tell Grant this,” Lydia sneered. “I’ve never delivered food for anyone in my life. He’d better come right here to see me.”
Grant said coldly, “You don’t need her to tell me. I heard everything.”
Lydia’s face stiffened instantly.
She turned sharply and met Grant’s gaze.
It was dangerous, commanding, and crushing.
She had seen that look often in Dominic’s eyes.
Yet now, under Grant’s stare, her scalp prickled uncontrollably.
“Grant?” Lydia blurted out.
Her face burned.
Before coming here, Eleanor had repeatedly warned her to keep her temper with Grant.
“That receptionist was unbearable,” Lydia said quickly, stamping her foot, putting on the aggrieved posture of a wronged socialite.
“I tried to speak nicely, and she just wouldn’t let me in.’

The receptionist started, “Mr. Fletcher, that’s not—”
“Not what? Shut up,” Lydia snapped, glaring over her shoulder and silencing her mid-sentence.
She turned back to Grant at once, her tone softening deliberately. “Grant, I brought you lunch. I made sure it’s all your favorites. Let’s go to your office.”
Her eyes softened as she looked at the handsome man in front
of her.
She stepped forward, reaching out to hook her arm through his.
Miles moved first. He stepped in front of Lydia, blocking her path, his expression severe.
Lydia looked at Grant again, her voice turning plaintive. “Grant
Grant withdrew his cold gaze from her and walked straight toward the elevators.
Seeing this, Lydia hurried to follow.
Miles blocked her again.

The trace of ingratiation she had been clinging to vanished from Lydia’s face. “What are you doing? Move.”
At that moment, two security guards walked in.
One of them asked the receptionist, “Which visitor are we escorting?”
“That lady,” the receptionist said, pointing directly at Lydia.
Lydia looked at Miles in disbelief. “What are you doing?”
Miles didn’t answer. He only gave a slight nod and then
followed Grant toward the elevators.
Neither Grant nor Miles spared Lydia a single word.
Lydia stomped her foot in fury.
She tried to chase after them, but the two guards seized her
arms.
“What are you doing? Let go of me. Let go!”
The guards said nothing, dragging her toward the exit as she struggled.

across the tiles.
The sight only fueled her rage.
“Let go! Let go of me!”
How could Grant treat her like this?
At the very least, he and Dominic were supposed to be close friends. And between their families, marriage negotiations were already underway.
If nothing else, she was at least half his fiancée.
Once those talks were finalized, she would be his wife.
How dare he humiliate me like this?
Still struggling, she was dragged outside and thrown to the ground. Pain shot through her palms as they hit the pavement. In that instant, Lydia felt as if Grant had ground her into the dirt in front of everyone.
