The Billionaire Heir Fell for the Wrong Girl (Hathaway Whitmore) novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133

SO

Hathaway still couldn’t shake off her worries. She glanced toward the café and made a call. “Get some people to mess with the Island Café every day.

“Nothing too crazy, enough to make it impossible for that waiter, Ryder McAllister, to stick around, until they fire him.

In her previous life, Ryder had used these exact tricks to get entangled with Evelyn

He never cared about Evelyn as a person. He saw her always dressed up and throwing money around, assumed she was some wealthy heiress, and plotted to get close,

No one knew he was secretly hiding a girlfriend he grew up with in the orphanage, a classic white lotus, looking all fragile and innocent. Every dollar he conned out of Evelyn ended up in the white lotus’s pocket.

In the following years, the Montgomery family’s real estate business went downhill. Evelyn was already overwhelmed, and Ryder’s sweet words fooled her completely.

She willingly handed over her money to support him, covered for him, and in the end, she was left utterly exhausted, like she’d been skinned alive, a total wreck.

The thought of Evelyn falling for the same trap again made Hathaway’s eyes turn icy.

This time, she’d make damn sure Ryder never got anywhere near anyone she cared about.

Meanwhile, as soon as Eleanor got back to the Blackwood residence, she saw Vivian there.

“Hey, Eleanor, what’s up? You look terrible, Vivian said.

Eleanor grabbed a glass of water, took a big gulp, and slammed it down, her voice full of anger. “Hathaway’s got a little power now, and she’s acting like she’s queen of the world.

“She’s so arrogant, nothing like Jessica. She had no maturity, no sense of propriety. Out in public, she treats the waiters like they’re beneath her, putting on airs like she’s some big shot.

What really bothered Eleanor was the way Hathaway was suddenly colder than Eleanor had ever seen before

She could tell, clear as day, that Hathaway was determined to cut the Blackwood family off, not pretending to be polite anymore;

It looked like Hathaway was done with them for good.

As for Lorenzo, Eleanor figured that in Hathaway’s eyes, she was his mother in name only: It was a lejpal adoption, no real connection, so Hathaway had no reason to go out of her way to please her

Eleanor never expected Hathaway to be so pragmatic..

She saved the Ministry of National Defense, then changed her attitude in a flash.

She dropped the act completely and stopped pretending.

“Vivian, I can only say this to you. Honestly, I’m not happy with either Jessica or Hathaway right now, Eleanor said.

Vivian tried to comfort her. “Jessica might not have had the best family, but she’s actually a really outstanding person. Eleanor, maybe you and Reginald should give her another chance”

Eleanor pressed her fingers to her throbbing temples and let out a weary sigh.

Vivian asked, “So, what’s Jeremiah’s deal lately?”

Eleanor’s headache only got worse at the mention of Jeremiah. “He can’t get over Jessica. He never used to smoke, but now his room smells like an ashtray every single day. If this keeps up..

Vivian nodded, understanding. “Honestly, he still likes Jessica. That’s how it is. I’ve been through this myself, and you really can’t force feelings. Might as well let Jeremiah do what he wants.”

Eleanor nodded. “Looks like that’s all we can do.”

Hathaway couldn’t care less about Eleanor’s mood.

When she came back in, the front desk stopped her again. Another massive bouquet showed up. Hathaway looked annoyed, reluctantly took the flowers, and said,

She said, “Next time someone brings flowers, find out who sent them first. If you can’t tell who sent them, turn them away and send them back.”

A few days later, after work, Hathaway was riding home with Avery. His phone rang. It was Jeremiah calling.

Hathaway glanced up at him.

Avery met her gaze,

He answered, and Jeremiah’s deep voice came through, asking him out.

Hathaway lugged at Avery’s arm, silently telling him not to agree.

But Avery agreed anyway.

After he bung up, Hathaway frowned. “What’s going on? Since when are you in touch with Jeremiah?”

Avery replied, “I didn’t reach out to him. He called me for the first time now?

Avery glanced at the time, then looked at her. Want to come with me?”

“No way Hathaway refused immediately. “You shouldn’t go either

Avery kept his eyes on the road and chuckled, “No can do. He made the first move, so there must be something going on. He wouldn’t call me out of the blue.”

Hathaway was fuming, feeling annoyed. You’re not close with him. Can’t you come up with some excus Seriously, your wife is five months pregnant. You can say you need to go home to her

Avery kept his eyes on the road and said, “It’s a guy thing, you wouldn’t get it.”

“Then let me out,” Hathaway said it on purpose, thinking Avery would at least care about how she felt, maybe try to calm her down, or reconsider going.
