Chapter 352
“Grandma, what exactly is my brother doing in Everett?”
Grandma Hale replied, “Work, obviously.”
Lila scratched her head. “The person who should be in Everett isn’t there, but the one who shouldn’t be ran off pretty fast.”
‘Who should be there?” Grandma Hale adjusted her reading glasses and looked at Lila. “Do you want to go?”
‘Not me, Jaxon Rivers,” Lila said indignantly. “You have no idea. Jaxon has been going on blind dates every single day lately. He’s practically dated every young woman in Northbrook by now!”
If the relationship between the Hales and the Rivers wasn’t so strained on the surface, Lila was afraid she’d have been set up with him, too.
‘Can’t you see what’s happening?” Grandma Hale sighed. “The Rivers family clearly doesn’t want Mia to join :hem.”
‘I’m going to find a sack, kidnap Jaxon, and beat the hell out of him. That total scumbag!”
Lila’s teeth itched with rage.
In her eyes, a playboy like Jaxon Rivers didn’t deserve Mia at all.
Without his family background, Jaxon was the type who would never find a wife.
Forget it. Mia doesn’t want us to interfere. We have to… respect her.”
Grandma Hale worried whenever she thought of Mia being thousands of miles away, pregnant and alone.
Grandma, I think things are about to blow up.”
Lila glanced toward the second floor. “My mom is really unhappy after that stunt the Bennett family pulled. I don’t now if she’s mad at the Bennetts or my brother, but she has nowhere to vent. She’s been looking at me weird for he last two days. I need to bail.”
Grandma Hale gave a hum of approval. “Go to Everett then. See what kind of trouble your brother is actually getting into.”
You got it!”
With Grandma Hale’s support, Lila immediately booked a flight to Everett for the next day.
Before leaving, she went to the mall to pick up a couple of new outfits.
As luck would have it, she ran into Jaxon Rivers shopping with a young woman.
Even more coincidentally, Lila and the woman both set their sights on the same dress.
“You go try it on.”
Jaxon reached the dress a step before Lila and handed it to the woman.
“Okay, thank
you, Jaxon.” The woman took the dress and went into the fitting room.

Lila’s nose nearly turned sideways from anger. “Scumbag.”
She turned to leave.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of her. Jaxon, wearing a floral-print shirt, stepped quickly in front of her, blocking her path.
‘Lila, I don’t have a grudge against you, do I? You’ve been sending people to follow me, and now you’re calling me names? What’s your problem?”
Jaxon had realized long ago that someone was watching him.
He’d investigated and found out it was Lila’s doing.
Lila was seven years younger than him; in his eyes, she was just a little brat.
He hadn’t taken it to heart.
But now that they’d met face-to-face, she wasn’t just giving him a cold shoulder-she was calling him a scumbag.
You *are* a scumbag!” Lila wasn’t afraid of him. “You’re constantly surrounded by women, and you chased Mia
Iway!”
