Chapter 102
Hathaway was always impossible to read.
Back then, she’d suddenly shut down Brightlink Capital and started something new
It wasn’t that the company was failing, she decided to close it down.
She said she didn’t want any loose ends, so she shut the whole thing down.
The new company wasn’t simply reopening under a new name. Hathaway had already established a she’d been plotting this from the very beginning.
“Isn’t that illegal?” the person on the other side asked.
Hathaway chuckled softly on the other end. “I’m letting someone else break the law
That same day. Hathaway went to the dentist. She lay back in the chair, her whole body tensed up whenever the inte touched her.
She scrunched up her pale face, her breath coming in quick, shallow bursts, clutching Evelyn’s hand, and couldn’t help but let out soft whimpers.
The dentist was Evelyn’s cousin.
She had her long, wavy hair pulled up into a neat high ponytail and wore a large musk.
When she saw Hathaway’s reaction, her eyes crinkling with amusement, Evelyn’s cousin, Lila Montgomery, paused and joked, “Hathaway, don’t make those noises in front of guys, they’ll totally lose it. Do you realize how stunning you are
Evelyn chimed in from the side, “Forget the whimpering, even if she clung to Jeremiah like a koala, he wouldn’t blink
“Hathaway’s basically a campus goddess, but Jeremiah acts like he’s blind to her. He can’t see her at all, and he’s the one who’s made her life a total mess.”
Lila couldn’t help but laugh. She was from an old-money family herself and knew Jeremiah well. He’d always been that kid everyone envied. He was calm, dazzling, and always thinking ten steps ahead.
“Jeremiah’s got that much self-control?” Lila asked.
Hathaway kept her eyes down, not saying a word. Lila kept working on her teeth, asking while treating her. “How old were you when you clung to him like a koala?”
Hathaway kept her eyes down, not saying a word. All her focus was on the socket in her gum The tiny broken or had been pulled out, blood still oozing, and the pain made her features contort
Evelyn answered for her, “It was probably back in middle school. She couldn’t swim, so Jeremiah had to dive in to rescue her. She clung to him like a koala, but as she got older, she was too shy to do that anymore.”
Lila shook her head. “Timing was all wrong.
“To Jeremiah, you were a kid back then, a little girl. He was an upperclassman himself. If he’d shown any interest in you, he’d be breaking the law. So, of course, he couldn’t see you as anything else.”
Lila glanced at Hathaways now-curvy figure. “But if you tried to tempt him with the body you have now, it’d be a whole different story Men aren’t made of stone, you know.”

Chapter 102
Stop it Hathaway muttered, her words slurred from the pain, cold sweat breaking out on her foveladon the dental work.”
“Aren’t I Lila said with a grin, swapping out her forceps. Talking helps distract you from the pan
“Ms. Kingsley is way ahead of you. You’re gorgeous, but you have no clue how to work a guy Tev te
Hathaway pulled her hand free and spat a mouthful of blood and saliva into the nearly basin Lala, please, cahyou stop talking for a mine!”
Seeing that Hathaway was genuinely annoyed, Lila finally fell silent. But she really thought it was a pity
They are childhood friends. Things are supposed to work out for them, so how does it all go wrong shebought “Alright, alright, I’ll stop,” Lila said.
Twenty minutes later, Hathaway stumbled out of the dentist’s office, clutching her left cheek, her head throbbing
With a cotton ball still jammed in her mouth, she mumbled to Evelyn, “Lila seriously never shuts up. Next time, can you please get me a new dentist?”
Evelyn shrugged. “Hey, Lila’s got a ton of admirers. Sometimes you’ve got to hear other people out. Plus, she’s actually a really good dentist, and you won’t have to come back that often anyway. stick with her
After the dental work, Hathaway’s face was swollen on one side.
But honestly, the pain faded pretty quickly. She spat out the cotton ball, rinsed her mouth, and took a few sips of water.
Instead of taking Hathaway straight home, Evelyn took her to another place. “I picked out some bodyguards for you
Evelyn had seen the video too, and she couldn’t help but laugh and roll her eyes.
If she didn’t know Jessica’s true colors, she’d probably be cheering her on like everyone else online, thinking she was hadass
Hathaway was completely powerless against Jessica. It’s way too late for her to start learning taekwondo or karate now
When she was a kid, she couldn’t manage a backbend in dance class. Conrad felt so bad for her that he made her quit. Se martial arts were totally out of the question.
So hiring bodyguards was the only way left.
The bodyguards Evelyn brought in were all tall, well-built, and ridiculously handsome.
Hathaway looked them over, not bothering to sigh, and quipped, “Seriously, are these bodyguards or runway models? Never mind, I’ll pass.”
“They’re actually pretty good at what they do. Pick two. Seriously, how long do you think you’ll last with one tooth lett Evelyn teased.
Hathaway was already in a bad mood and didn’t bother to listen. She got up and walked out without looking back.
Evelyn hurried after her, and when she saw the guys still standing there, she got annoyed and wared them off “Alright, you can all go now
Hathaway didn’t dare go home. With her face all swollen, she really didn’t want her mom to see her hike that, so she skipped the nursing home.
She was terrified Sylvia right catch that viral clip online of her getting body-slammed, and end up worrying herself sick.

When Killian took Sylvia’s phone, he sounded a bit worried. “You okay?
Hathaway replied, “Still alive, for now.”
Killian couldn’t help thinking. She’s too reckless
While waiting in the car, Hathaway checked her social media.
She never had many followers, but now her comment section was completely overrun by haters, every single cr dripping with malice.
Everything was unfolding as it did in her previous life.
