Chapter 474
If the child was Ethan’s, it was a Hale descendant. Arthur and the rest wouldn’t dare plot against it then!
“You… what kind of talk is that?” Chloe felt like she had been stabbed. “Do you really want to see Mia climb her way up as a mistress?”
“Of course not!”
Serena couldn’t tell her about the Gallaghers’ internal affairs, so she spoke in circles. “Anyway, Mia is in my way right now! Especially the thing in her belly!”
Chloe was confused. “How is she in your way?”
“I can’t explain it to you, but the trouble she’s causing me is just as much as what she’s causing you.”
Serena sighed. “If only you were in Everett. We could figure something out together.”
Chloe’s eyes flickered, and her tone softened. “Serena, I’m not from Everett. You can tell me anything. Even if I repeat it, it won’t reach Everett, so it won’t cause you any trouble. I need to know the inside story to help you think of a plan!”
“True.” Serena immediately spilled everything to Chloe. “You know the Gallagher family rule about the matrilineal inheritance tradition, right? Well, my mother-in-law actually had a daughter once…”
The family favored boys over girls, yet the inheritance was tied to female descendants-Chloe had never liked listening to these stories that started twenty years ago.
But because it involved Mia, she stayed focused, her heart simmering with jealousy.
“Serena, hearing you say that, it’s not just Mia who can’t stay-that baby can’t stay either!”
“Forget the Gallaghers watching her, doesn’t she still have Ethan?” Serena said. “You’re about to get married, but Ethan is still hovering over her. He’ll probably wait until she gives birth before he goes back to marry you! I can’t find an opening to strike!”
“Ethan will definitely be back a week before the wedding. He hasn’t shown his face lately and rumors are starting to spread. Miranda said she’d make him come back early no matter what to prepare for the ceremony.”
Miranda’s promise was Chloe’s safety net.
“When the time comes, I’ll invite the Gallaghers to the wedding as a representative of the Bennett family. That will be your chance to move.”
Serena’s heart leaped with joy. “Chloe, you really do have a way with things. I’ll be waiting for your good news then…”
In her late third trimester, Mia’s belly had ballooned. She finally understood the feeling of not being able to see her own feet.
Looking down, there were two “small hills” followed by one giant mountain.
Nina teased her, calling it a mountain range.

“You’re just a flatland girl who hasn’t seen the world, Mia retorted.

“Mountain range” was a joke, but Nina fired back, “You’re so lucky. Toby is already stuck on formula because I couldn’t produce enough.”
Nina’s face fell. “Hey, don’t hit me where it hurts. That’s low, Mia.”
“Have you stopped teasing me?” Mia countered as she played with Toby.
“I’m complimenting you!”
Nina said enviously, “Men love your body type. A tiny waist you can hold with one hand and a ‘chest’ barely cup. Tsk, tsk.”
