Chapter 121

Meanwhile, Avery was both amused and annoyed when he found out that Hathaway had given the car to Lorenzo before it made it home.

“Wow, you really know how to put your boyfriend before your brother. All the good stuff goes to your precious boyfriend, huh?” Avery teased.

Hathaway grinned, “It’s a material thing.”

“That car turns heads on the street, and the windows are so tough that not even a machine gun could get through. Why can’t you give it to your brother?” Avery complained.

Hathaway shrugged. “Honestly, it’s a pain to get in and out with a kid. I tried it myself, and Celeste had trouble getting in and out in a dress.”

Seeing Hathaway trying to justify herself, Avery shook his head. “Can’t I use it myself? Do I always have to bring everyone along?”

“You’re really going to go out and have fun by yourself and leave the rest of us behind?” Hathaway put her hands on her hips. “If you’re going out, you have to take Celeste with you. No solo adventures allowed.”

Avery protested, “Can’t I use it for work?”

Celeste couldn’t help but laugh at the siblings‘ banter.

Still grinning, she made her way to Sylvia’s room to let her know dinner was ready.

Avery lowered his voice. “Come on, are you and Lorenzo really a thing? Otherwise, why are you being so nice to him?”

Hathaway shook her head. “He helped me out, so of course, I’m nice to him.”

In her previous life, after Hathaway married Jeremiah, he’d fly overseas every month to see Jessica.

Later, he claimed he was opening up new markets overseas, so he spent most of his time out of the country Eleanor saw how obsessed Jeremiah was with Jessica and let him do whatever he wanted.

When Hathaway was left all alone, with nobody on her side, Lorenzo was the only one in that family who ever had her back. That was why she went out of her way to treat Lorenzo well these days

Just then. Sylvia came out for dinner, and Hathaway pulled out the chair at the head of the table for her Sylvia sat down and told everyone else to take their seats. “Eleanor called about jeremiah’s engagement this Sunday

I’m thinking we shouldn’t go, but when he actually gets married, we’ll have to shove up. Aling all, the Blackwood family came to Avery’s worlding, so it’s proper etiquenes?

Avery and Celmite nodded in agreement.

Sylvia’s gaze fell on Hathaway,

SO

Hathaway’s face showed no sign of displeasure; her expression was so calm that it hordered on indifference

Sylvia thought to herself, “Well, that’s for the best. Everything that’s happened is in the past now. Time to nura the page. From here on out, we’ll each walk our own path.”

Before the engagement, Jeremiah’s friend from Dorliae, Percival, made a special trip to meet Jeremiah soon–to-be bride.

The vibe at the table was perfect, and Jessica and Percival exchanged introductions and chatted for a bit

J&B. you really know how to pick a girl. Jessica is stunning and super elegant, Percival praised.

Jessica smiled, sounding relaxed and confident. “Mr. Hartwell, you’re way too flattering. If you keep this up, you’re going to make me shy.”

After some small talk, Percival and Jeremiah moved on to other topics.

“You mentioned before that you were looking into Brightlink Capital, Any leads yet?” Percival asked.

Jeremiah paused with his fork, his tone flat. “I checked. The company’s already been dissolved.”

“Dissolved?” Percival raised an eyebrow. “Then maybe you should check for any new companies that popped up after that. Most likely, they rebranded and started over with a fresh name.”

Jeremiah replied coolly. “I checked that too. Nothing came up.”

Jessica sat there, totally confused, and glanced at the two guys. “What are you talking about? Brightlink Capital? I don’t get a single word of this.”

Jeremiah turned to her with a gentle smile. “It’s nothing you need to worry about. Enjoy your dinner.

Percival watched them from the side, thinking, “These two really seem made for each other, so sweet and perfectly matched

Meanwhile, at the same restaurant, Leo had invited Hathaway and Evelyn out for dinner,

Leo teased. “Hathaway, I heard you’ve been working nonstop lately, barely leaving the office. You used to be the life of the party, always up for some fun. What happened?

Let’s go out and have some fun tomorrow!

Then Geo suddenly remembered, “Oh wait, tomorrow’s no good. Jeremialy’s getting ingred. How about the day after!

Hathaway gave a distracted nod

Evelyn sighed, sounding a bit regretful. “If Jessica really marries Jeremiah and makes a big leap in status, if won’t be about getting your teeth knocked out. She could probably rip your head right off

Is Jessica really that scary?” Leo asked, sounding skeptical. “Isn’t she supposed to be all cool and classy? So she and Jeremiah are a power couple, huh?

“They really do look perfect together. And Jeremiah’s no pushover, either.”

Evelyn nodded. “I feel like the sky over Bayridge is getting a little darker.

Looks like we’re in for some rough times now, she thought.

Leo puffed out his chest. “Don’t worry. I’ll protect you guys.”

Evelyn rolled her eyes at Leo. This wimp probably couldn’t handle Jessica. She could toss him over her shoulder without breaking a sweat. Protect us? Yeah, right.‘

Hathaway said, “Done eating? Let’s head back.”

Leo said, “Let’s go. The three of them left the table. Leo went to pay, Evelyn headed to the restroom, and Hathaway waited downstairs.

As Percival came downstairs, he caught sight of Hathaway and froze on the spot

Hathaway was dressed in a simple, pale dress, her eyes bright and clear. Sunlight poured through the window, lighting up the ends of her hair, and the air around her seemed to shimmer with gentle warmth.

One breathtaking glimpse made Percival’s heart skip a beat. He literally forgot to breathe.

She was absolutely stunning from one look.

Percival tried to steady himself, thinking, ‘No matter what, I need to get her number.

Taking advantage of the moment before Jeremiah came downstairs, Percival walked over with a friendly smile. “Hey, pretty lady, mind if I get your number?”

Hathaway turned around, momentarily stunned.

She recognized him, the Dorliaen guy, Percival.

Jeremiah had rescued him while saving an engineer who’d been detained overseas. After that, Percival insisted on becoming sworn brothers with Jeremiah, and the two quickly became close friends

After Hathaway married Jeremiah, Percival visited the Blackwood family a few times.

Hathaway pretended not to know him and shook her head. “Sorry, Lalready have a boyfriend. He’s not cool with the giving my number to strangers

Her straightforward rejection made Percival put his hour away with a shrepair look, “Sorry about that
