Chapter 116

Chapter 116

Hathaway was so caught up worrying about whether Eleanor would say something she dude to byl catch what Jeremiah was saying.

She hadn’t expected him to stick around after his mom left.

Jeremiah noticed her silence, his tone icy. “Did you know who he was before you uved Griffin?

Hathaway replied curtly, “No.”

Seeing how blunt she was, Jeremiah’s face darkened. “You’d better make sure you know what you’re doing

Medidat

After he finished speaking, Hathaway’s eyes drifted to his cuffs. The polished peacock-blue cufflinks immered with a subtle, understated glow, both perfectly set on his sleeves.

Jeremiah noticed her gaze and, without missing a beat, adjusted his cuffs with effortless grace.

When Eleanor came back in, she immediately sensed the tension between them. She frowned for a momem, then quickly smoothed it over with a smile. “Hathaway, get some rest. I’ll come visit you again next time

“Once you’re feeling better, let’s go shopping together, okay?”

Hathaway lowered her gaze and replied softly, “Okay, Mrs, Blackwood.”

“Let’s go, Jeremiah,” Eleanor said, glancing at her eldest son as she led the way out.

Jeremiah exchanged a few words with Sylvia before leaving as well.

Once they were gone, Hathaway immediately noticed Sylvia looked upset. “Mom, what’s wrong?”

Sylvia shook her head.

Since Hathaway was feeling better, she was ready to leave the hospital. Later that afternoon, Sylvia had Mary and Benson pack up their things, and they all headed home together.

After they left, the cleaning lady was changing the sheets when she spotted a cufflink under the bed. It was obviously pricey at first glance.

She glanced around, making sure no one was watching, then quietly slipped it into her pocket

The next day, the news didn’t mention the accident on the Evergreen Viaduct.

Still, some eyewitnesses at the scene uploaded dashcam footage online

Once the video hit the internet, it went viral. Hathaway’s rescue of the sedan was swift and fearless, with danger lurking at every moment. Viewers were so tense that they barely dared to breathe.

Initially, everyone in the comment section thought the driver was a guy, and the comments were all full of praise.

[Such a heroll

But then someone uploaded a video of Hathaway shaking hands with Griffin

The internet went wild,

She’s gorgeous, fearless, and her skills are off the charts. This is what a wal no looks less badass!)

This made me tear up, she’s incredible!

Her charm is killer! Girls are so badass!)

You did something most people wouldn’t dare to try. It’s legendary! I have been scared out of y

[Girl’s got guts Word is she’s the rich girl from Whitmore Group, but honestly jumping in to see too dangerous

The comments were still nothing but praise. With the big shots watching, any negative takes would get deleted in a S way one would see a single bad word about her.

As the video went viral, Hathaway’s phone was practically overheating from all the notifications. She glanced filled with messages, and everyone she knew was hitting her up about the crash on the viaduct

Hathaway watched the clip of her pulling off that rescue with the sedan and grinned to wheel than I thought.”

“Guen I’m

Man, adrenaline really came through for me, Hathaway mused.

Just then, someone started pounding on her bedroom door. Avery was roaring. “Hathaway, get you hell did you do?”

here What the

Honestly, Sylvia and Avery thought it was a fender-bender. They hadn’t seen the wrecked car themselves, so they totally underestimated how bad it was.

After the accident, the traffic cops had the car towed straight to the repair shop. Whether it’d get totaled or fixed up y anyone’s guess. They were still waiting for word.

When Avery saw a photo from the scene, his heart nearly stopped.

The camera was focused on the bridge over the river. The guardrail was mangled and twisted, and beyond the gap, the ri was churning below.

Two cars were sprawled across the road, their bodies tilted precariously over the edge. One wrong move, and they’d be plunging into the water. It was a heart-stopping scene.

He was seriously shaken.

Celeste tried to calm him down, “Alright, alright, if you keep yelling, Mom’s going to hear you.”

Hathaway thought, Celeste really knows how to handle him.

Thank goodness she’d had Killian install a little app on Sylvia’s phone ahead of time.

Any messages with keywords like Hathaway, Ms. Whitmore, Avery’s sister, or her daughter would never show up. Siber was keeping tabs on Sylvia’s phone and had scrubbed a few contacts she didn’t trust herself with

“She’s really getting out of hand, Avery muttered.

He was worried Sylvia would find out, so Celeste quickly dragged him away.

Just then, Evelyn called. Hathaway gave a few casual replies, soothed her heste’s nerves, and then shut off her phone

Chapter 116

Of course, the video made its way to the Kingsley family, too, Felix shared it in the family group

Everyone in the Kingsley family saw the video, but nobody said a word

Felix finally spoke up. Her driving skills are off the charts. She didn’t enter a race, but it’s like she already soo

Elaine ended up whacking him with a couch cushion.

Ruby cut in and put a stop to their goofing around.

She put on her glasses and watched the video again, frowning slightly. Hathaway shook hands with the big hot from the Ministry of National Defense and looked totally unfazed.

Man, if only Jessica had been the one in the spotlight, she thought.

Jessica would’ve handled it as gracefully, collected, never shy or insecure.

The video was a full twenty minutes, and at the end, some netizens tacked on Hathaway’s personal info for everyone to

Hathaway was the apple of Conrad’s eye, also the fiancée of Jeremiah, the CEO of Blackwood Group

Elaine, sitting nearby, suddenly smacked the couch and raised her voice defiantly. “That’s all wrong

She jabbed a finger at the glaring subtitles on the screen, her face twisted with frustration. Jeremiah dumped her ages ago She’s not his fiancée anymore!”

Jessica’s face instantly darkened. The composure she’d been barely holding onto was chipped away bit by bit with every repetition of “fiancée,” her expression growing colder with each mention

She stayed silent. Without waiting for Elaine to say anything else, Jessica snatched up her bag and rushed out the door. Jessica’s mind was in turmoil, her heart in knots. She needed to see Jeremiah right now. Without hesitation, she sped to the office and made a beeline for the top floor of Blackwood Group.

Inside the CEO’s office at Blackwood Group, Jeremiah was hunched over his desk, pen in hand, signing documents.

The floor-to-ceiling windows behind him revealed the city’s dazzling skyline, adding to his cold, distant vibe

Jessica didn’t bother knocking. She walked straight in.

Jeremiah glanced up, noticing how upset she looked. He raised an eyebrow, “Hey, what are you doing here? Wasn’t your grandma supposed to be visiting? I thought you were taking a few days off.”

When she saw Jeremiah still cared about her like always, Jessica’s tense expression eased a bit. I heard Hathaway saved someone?

“Yeah,” Jeremiah replied, his gaze darkening.

“If she hadn’t stepped in, and something really happened to that VIP in Bayridge, the whole city government, including my dad, would’ve been in deep trouble. Everyone would end up getting demoted,” he said.

“W-What?” Jessica stammered, her face going pale. “How did she so happen to save such a big shor
