“No way!”

The sudden shift in the conversation caught Mia Carter off guard. Hearing the word “Aunt” triggered a visceral reaction. She stood up abruptly. “I know you mean well, Grandma, but this would make everything a total mess.”

Grandma Hale saw her resistance and realized her wild idea wasn’t going to work. “Fine, fine. Then we’ll go with god-granddaughter.”

Lila Hale managed a smile. Although she had barely accepted the first crazy suggestion, this one was definitely better! “Then I’ll call you Mia from now on. You’ll be my brother’s sister.”

Grandma’s clouded eyes narrowed. She was already calculating her next move: a trip to the Rivers family to talk about Mia and Jaxon Rivers. As Mia’s grandmother, she could officially back the girl up.

Lila recognized her grandmother’s intentions and gave her a secret thumbs-up.

Meanwhile, Mia and Ethan Hale both sat with stiff expressions, instinctively looking at each other.

Brother and sister? They were legally husband and wife once. Now, she was carrying Ethan’s child. The relationships were becoming a disaster.

That’s also a no!” Mia refused firmly. “Grandma, you don’t have to worry. I’ve already submitted my resignation. Once I leave Bayview, all these problems will be solved.”

As long as she stayed far away from Ethan, Miranda Hale and the Bennetts would no longer see her as a threat. And no one would find out she was pregnant.

Whether she leaves or not isn’t your call,” Ethan said, his tone icy. His face was a mask of displeasure. “If you have nothing else to say, please leave.”

He refused to even mention Grandma’s plan to adopt Mia. It wasn’t that he was considering it; he was dead set against it so much so that he didn’t even want to speak of it.

Grandma didn’t give up. She tried to persuade Mia. “Mia, if you don’t listen to me and you leave your job… how will you survive?”

Right now, Mia’s most impressive credential was having been Ethan’s secretary. Without that, she had no job, and the Rivers family would look down on her even more.

‘Grandma, I’ve planned everything. I have a way out.” Mia felt a wave of gratitude toward the old woman, but she could only refuse.

At that moment, Leo Martinez pushed the door open and entered. “Mr. Hale, Ms. Hale and Mrs. Bennett have left.” He had exerted a great deal of effort to get Miranda and Sandra Bennett to go.

“Take Grandma and Lila home.” Ethan passed the difficult task of removing the two women to Leo.

Grandma glared at him. She still had things to say to Mia!

‘Mrs. Hale Sr., Lila, let me escort you back,” Leo said, bowing respectfully.

Ethan remained cold, and Mia refused to budge on the adoption. Realizing it was a stalemate, Grandma decided

to leave. “We’ll talk about this another day. Mia, think it over!”

Mia walked Grandma and Lila to the door. After closing it, she turned back. She wasn’t sure what Ethan meant-did he disagree with her resignation? She had gone from a secretary to a logistics clerk; she was useless to him now.
