“If you’re here about Ms. Bennett, I have nothing to say,” Mia added.

She felt the scrutiny in his eyes. She couldn’t imagine any other reason for him to call her up here besides settling the score for Chloe.

‘With someone backing you up, you’ve certainly grown bold,” Ethan said, his voice low and mocking.

Mia’s gaze shifted toward Grandma Hale.

It seemed Grandma Hale had found out Miranda and Sandra were looking for her and had rushed over to intervene. Ethan had only sent Leo down to “save her” because of his grandmother’s pressure.

Ethan’s tone made it clear he was doing this against his will. He likely felt frustrated that he couldn’t “get justice”

for Chloe.

‘Mia.” Grandma Hale shot Ethan a glare before waving Mia over.

Mia walked to the sofa. “Grandma, Lils.”

Knowing Mia was pregnant, Grandma Hale fixed her eyes on Mia’s stomach.

Though it wasn’t obvious yet, there were faint signs of a pregnancy. If this dragged on, Mia’s reputation would be uined. Grandma Hale knew she had to take charge.

I believe you, Mia. I know Chloe’s fall had nothing to do with you.”

That single word-believe-hit Mia right in the heart.

The poise she had maintained in front of Miranda and Sandra shattered. The tension that had been holding her ogether snapped. Her eyes grew red, and her voice turned raspy. “Thank you.”

You’ve suffered so much lately. It’s the Hale family’s fault for failing you,” Grandma Hale said.

She was referring to the constant chaos caused by Chloe. Grandma Hale felt guilty that Mia was always the one being stepped on.

Mia shook her head. “Grandma, it’s not that bad. I just hope nothing like this happens again. As long as-”

Don’t you worry!” Grandma Hale interrupted her. “From today on, I’m backing you up. No one will ever pull this kind of thing again!”

Ethan’s voice remained cold and detached. “Does she even need your backing? Besides, how exactly do you plan on doing that?”

Miranda was clearly at odds with Mia. Was Grandma Hale really going to go to war with her own daughter-in-law for an outsider? That would turn the Hale family upside down.

‘Grandma, it’s really not necessary,” Mia said. She had been about to say that as long as she left Bayview and Northbrook, everyone would be happy.

But Grandma Hale didn’t give her the chance to finish.

‘From today on, you will call me your godmother. You’ll be the aunt of Lila and Ethan, equal in status to Miranda.

How does that sound?”

Originally, Grandma Hale had thought about making Mia her god-granddaughter.

But making her a goddaughter would raise Mia’s status significantly and draw a clear line between her and Ethan ›y adding a layer of family. Miranda and the Bennetts would no longer be able to use her past marriage to Ethan is an excuse to bully her.
