Melanie had also seen the video of Hathaway falling into the water

She sneered, “The only one in the Whitmore family worth keeping is gone Avery and Hathaway Hathaway is there to be bullied. The Whitmore Group is about to crash and burn

Preston asked, “So does that mean our family is about to rise?”

Elizabeth, sitting at the head of the table, smiled, “It’s all thanks to Jessica. She’s got the luck to lift up the whole family Elaine was overjoyed and jumped up. “Great! Let’s go out for a nice meal to celebrate! Aunt. Uncle, you should come for

“We’ll pass. Take Jessica with you,” Preston said, not a fan of hanging out with the younger crowd. He found them too noiy and waved it off.

Jessica wasn’t home. She was still at the office. She was basically a workaholic at heart

Just then, Elaine’s phone rang.

Elaine thought it was Jessica calling, so she answered with a few “hellos.” When nobody replied, she quickly ended the call.

She didn’t think much of it.

Then she called Jessica, who told them to go to the restaurant first and that she’d join them once she was done with work.

Elaine and her parents headed over first.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Elaine and Charlotte went in to grab a table and start ordering, while Spencer went to park the car.

They had sat down when Charlotte excused herself to use the restroom.

In those few brief minutes, Hathaway appeared.

She had no clue where Elaine lived, so she’d been staking out the Kingsley place, waiting for a chance. She never thought she’d get this lucky, catching Elaine alone like this.

Elaine caught a glimpse of someone with an icy vibe striding straight toward her table.

Before Elaine could react, Hathaway yanked her by the collar and, without warning, landed several brutal slaps right across

her face.

The sharp sound made everyone nearby turn to look.

Elaine was stunned, her cheeks burning with pain. She sat there, paralyzed, unable to lift a finger in defense

Her eyes were wide with terror as she saw the seething hatred in Hathaway’s gaze.

Hathaway spat out each word through gritted teeth, “Who told you to send that video to my mom?”

In the chaos, hurried footsteps rushed over.

Spencer, fresh from parking, burst inside.

When he saw his daughter getting attacked in public, his eyes blazed with fury. Without a word, he grabbed Haloway by the arm and landed a heavy punch on her back.

Hathaway staggered and crashed into an empty table nearby, completely emraget

In the chaos, her hand shot out, fingers closing around something cold and metallic on the table,

It was a knife, sitting beside the plate.

As Hathaway, eyes burning with fury, raised the knife and lunged at Spencer, someone suddenly used in fece the ide

Jessica grabbed Hathaway’s wrist, using Hathaway’s own momentum, and in one swift, forceful motions, tipped her sight over her shoulder.

Hathaway was slammed hard onto the floor, sliding across the tiles. The knife clattered to the ground, and the curled up in pain and couldn’t move a muscle.

The whole place went dead silent.

Hathaway’s face was very pale, like she’d been shattered into pieces. When she hit the floor, she was so shocked that de forgot to scream.

Her head was spinning, and all she could hear was Elaine laughing, hands on her hips. Jessica’s not some pampered princess, Hathaway. Serves you right.

“Mess with the wrong person, and you’ve got no one to blame when you get wrecked.”

One of the guests started clapping, and soon the whole place joined in. Everyone saw that Hathaway was the one who stormed in and started swinging.

Anyone could see Jessica was only acting in self-defense.

Hathaway lay on the floor, her whole body screaming in pain, and in that moment, a sudden realization hit her.

‘How could I have forgotten? Hathaway thought.

In her previous life, she was always the one getting utterly beaten by Jessica.

She could never win against Jessica in a straight-up fight.

As that thought hit her, a metallic taste filled her throat, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her mouth went numb and felt strangely empty. When she reached up, she realized her tooth had come out

Hathaway slowly clenched her fist and suddenly remembered what her uncle had said before he left.

He said. “You can mess with Jessica behind her back, but never go head-to-head with her. I’ve seen her in a backless dress, She’s definitely trained.”

Blood frothed at the corner of her mouth as Hathaway curled up on the floor like a shrimp with its shell cracked, broken, and helpless

Before her consciousness faded, her voice barely a thread of sound, she managed to whisper, “Uncle Sebastian

Then she blacked out completely.

Meanwhile, Jeremiah had a business dinner tonight that he couldn’t get out of

Inside the private room, glasses clinked as the waitstaff came in one after another. One of them, a girl with a student vibe walked up carrying a tray of dishes. The pink crystal bracelet on her wrist glinted under the lights,

Jeremiah’s eyes locked onto her.

Almost on instinct, he reached out and caught the girl’s wrist

The sudden move made the whole room go dead silent. Everyone thought Jeremiah was making a move bex

But then he let go, his voice cool and unreadable. “Sorry about that?

He paused, then added, almost defensively. “My girlfriend has one exactly like it

Everyone at the table froze for a second.

They’d been ready to play Cupid and stir up some gossip, but now it was clear, Jeremiah wasn’t interested in the girl He only cared about that bracelet.

Jeremiah looked up at her. “Where’d you get that bracelet!”

The girl’s cheeks turned red. She couldn’t admit she’d found it lying around, so she mumbled, “A friend gave it to me Once she left, someone at the table grinned, “Mr. Blackwood, if you’re into that student, I can totally hook you up.” Jeremiah ignored him, sitting there, lost in thought. Guess these bracelets are everywhere, huh?

He kept thinking about it.

That bracelet he’d left at home, the one he’d forgotten to give back to Jessica, suddenly felt like there was no need to return it anymore.

Since one could find them everywhere, he might as well keep it.

As for Jessica’s bracelet, he had all kinds of fancier, pricier jewelry he could give her instead.

Just then, Jeremiah’s phone rang.
