Chapter 104

Let her go Jeremiah ordered, his gaze sweeping over the bodyguards restraining Hathaway

The grip loosened suddenly, and as soon as Hathaway was released, she staggered a bit before ruling to the compute shut it down.

Jeremiah didn’t dwell on her actions. As he walked out of the room, his gaze swept over the bed she usually fepews The sheets were neatly folded the light purple bedding soft and elegant and the room carried her unique

He paused for a moment, then caught sight of a small, pristine white tooth sitting in the corner of the des Jeremiah walked over, reaching out to pick up the tooth, but Hathaway beat him to it, grabbing it before he could

“Did

d you get your tooth fixed? Let me see,” Jeremiah said.

Hathaway gave him a puzzled look

There was a hint of bewilderment in her eyes, and she was full of questions. What’s he up to now?”

The next second, his large hand gripped her chin, not with the ruthless force that had choked her in their previous life Maybe it was because she’d lost a tooth, but he was determined to check her mouth. She couldn’t figure out why he was suddenly playing dentist

He was so close that Hathaway could see the sharp bridge of his nose and the crisp line of his lips.

But as his hand clamped around her chin, she couldn’t get a word out, and her breath grew shallow. Her mouth started to fill with saliva.

Jeremiah’s eyes were deep and unreadable. Remembering he still had to find Lorenzo, he finally let go.

On her chin, where he’d gripped her, a few clear red marks stood out against her pale skin, giving her a fragile, almost broken look

Jeremiah looked at her and said, “Your tooth looks fine now. Don’t think about getting back at me,

With that, he turned and walked out.

Celeste watched him leave, then turned to Hathaway. “Hathaway, are you okay?

What really made Hathaway feel lucky was that, though he’d cracked her password, he hadn’t actually logged into her mail She rushed to her computer, changed the password, and wiped her inbox clean in seconds

Not long after Jeremiah left. Avery came running up from downstairs, Celeste was still explaining to him everything Jeremiah had done after he arrived.

He was dead set on checking the computer and tried to look in Hathaway’s mouth.

Avery stopped in his tracks, his face turning ashen. He never expected Jeremiah to bring bodyguards in. It was like they were raiding the place.

If their mom had been here, she probably would’ve had a heart attack from the shock.

“He didn’t do anything to you, did he? Avery asked watching as Hathaway got up from the computer

“No.” Hathaway shook her head, her face still a little pale.

Chapter 104

Hathaway’s mind spun, replaying the voice she’d heard on Jeremiah’s phone was skipped a bear

After that call, Jeremiah left right away.

Wan, could the car accident really have something to do with Lorenzo? Hathaway thought.

Hathaway tried to reach Lorenzo for two days straight, but he was completely unreachable. He didst show at school

Hathaway didn’t want to go to the Blackwood Villa, either.

On the third day, which was a day off, Lorenzo finally reached out to her.

The moment they met, Hathaway spotted a nasty bruise at the corner of Lorenzo’s mouth. It stood out like a sore thumb She was about to ask, but Lorenzo shrugged it off, muttering dismissively. Thumped into something, no big deal

After that, the two walked side by side to the racetrack.

The breeze over the turf track carried the lively scent of fresh grass and earth, and Hathaway’s gaze followed the horses as they warmed up on the course.

The starting gun cracked through the air, and eight racehorses shot out of the gates like arrows released from a bow

Hathaway watched in silence as a chestnut Akhal-Teke horse, famed for its speed and beauty, pulled far ahead of the pack

After the race ended, she asked. “I’ve heard that when people are in danger, their adrenaline shoots up, and suddenly your body reacts way faster, like your brain and reflexes are on high alert. Is that really a thing?*

Lorenzo’s eyes lit up with a faint smile. “Yeah, that’s true. It’s like flipping a switch inside you. Your body goes into overdrive. For a short while, your reflexes, explosive power, and quick thinking all get a serious boost.”

He paused, then added, “Never happened to me, though. It’s something I’ve heard about

After the races. Hathaway took him out for a bite to eat.

Once they were done, Lorenzo said he had to swing by the school lab.

He’d missed several days of class in a row and needed to catch up on his lab reports.

Hathaway tagged along, sitting quietly by Lorenzo’s side while he finished up his lab work.

Once he was done, Hathaway couldn’t help but ask, still puzzled as she glanced at the bruise on his lip. “Why are you messing with Jessica?”

Lorenzo was silent for a long moment before finally confessing in a low voice. “Because Jeremiah likes her Anyone heces about, I want to ruin.”

Hathaway was taken aback, her voice soft. “Why would you do something like that?”

Lorenzo’s eyes were filled with a bitterness that wouldn’t fade, his words cold as ice. “Because he the one who ruined the teacher I cared about a long time ago”

Hathaway knew better than to push, so she let it go and didn’t ask any more questions,

That was a wound that belonged to him,’ Hathaway thought

Chapter 101

Hathaway had no idea who that teacher was, the one Lorenzo kept buried deep in his heart After ko him so much that it was like a wound that would never heal

She pushed down her curiosity and asked softly. “So why did you come clean to Jeremia this o

In their previous life, Lorenzo never gave himself away. But this time, he actually laid all his cards on the le

Why did he choose to confess now? Hathaway wondered.

Lorenzo glanced at her, then looked away, his tone flat. “I don’t want to drag innocent people into th
