The sudden mention of Mia Carter instantly ruined Chloe Bennett’s mood.
That was then. You are never to mention Mia again! I’m your sister-in-law, so show me some respect! Otherwise, don’t blame me for losing my temper with you!”
Lila Hale was quick-tongued, but even she knew mentioning Mia now wasn’t great. It wasn’t fair to Mia; she had lready left and severed ties. Why should she draw unnecessary hatred toward her friend?
But Chloe’s reaction only fueled Lila’s fiery temper.
I’m just stating facts! Stop trying to use the ‘sister-in-law’ card to pressure me. It’s still up in the air whether you’ll even marry my brother, but I’ll always be his sister!”
Chloe was speechless, her face turning red with fury.
Look at you, getting all high and mighty just because you’re sleeping in my brother’s room. If you actually marry nto this family, you’ll probably be talking down to me every day! What’s the big deal anyway? Mia’s already slept n this bed. You’re acting like you’ve never seen anything before. So unrefined!”
Lila’s brain was working a mile a minute, grabbing whatever insults she could.
Seeing Chloe’s face turn from a sickly green to a deathly pale, Lila felt her heart skip a beat.
Dammit. I really crossed the line this time.”
Without waiting for Chloe to say another word, Lila turned and bolted.
She didn’t dare go downstairs. If Miranda Hale found out what she’d said today, not even Grandma Hale would be
ble to protect her!
And yet, she didn’t feel like she was in the wrong.
She pulled out her phone and called Mia.
The phone rang for a long time before Mia answered.
Lils?”
At that moment, Mia was getting ready to leave work. She stood at the company entrance as she answered the call.
I’m doomed, Mia. I really messed up.”
Lila dumped everything that had just happened onto her.
Out of guilt, she didn’t mention that she had brought up Mia’s name; she only said she’d gotten into a fight with Chloe.
‘Chloe is seriously too much. A while ago, she was sending me messages and sucking up to me. Now that she’s managed to crawl into my brother’s bed, her nose is up in the clouds. Once they’re married, she’ll definitely be lording it over me!”
‘But my mom is still taking her side. I’m losing my status in this house. Grandma tries to be fair, so she can’t openly favor me all the time. Maybe I should just move to Everett and stay with you.”

The night breeze in Everett was a bit chilly.

Mia walked toward the curb, the wind ruffling her dress. A cold sensation seeped into her heart.
Hearing Lila’s words, a familiar sense of irritation spread through her mind.
Things aren’t stable in Everett yet. Don’t come here. Just stay at headquarters and… try to get along with Chloe. Don’t let outsiders see the family falling apart.”
See? You and my mom say the same thing. You’re both afraid of outsiders laughing at us. Why couldn’t my mom ver see how good you were for this family?”
Lila’s regret grew deeper. Why did Mia and Ethan ever have to get divorced?
Ethan could have married anyone else, but he had to choose that annoying woman.
The past is the past. Don’t bring it up again.”
Mia comforted Lila for a few more minutes before hanging up.
A small thing like not knocking was enough to start a war between Lila and Chloe. Once Chloe actually moved in, he conflicts would only multiply.
Mia remembered the first time she had stayed overnight at the Hale Manor. Lila hadn’t knocked before entering hen, either.
At the time, Grandma Hale had sent her in with a fruit platter.
