The Billionaire Heir Fell for the Wrong Girl (Hathaway Whitmore) novel Chapter 149

Chapter 149

Hathaway returned to her bedroom and spent a while on her laptop.

Not long after, a message suddenly popped up. [So, you don’t like me anymore! You like Calvin now?]

Hathaway frowned.

What is he talking about?’ she thought.

She didn’t bother replying. Instead, the message reminded her that she hadn’t brushed her teeth yet. Suddenly, she realized she could still taste him on her lips.

Hathaway’s face twisted in disgust. She immediately set her phone down on the desk and dashed into the bathroom.

After she finished brushing her teeth thoroughly, she returned to her desk, still feeling the minty freshness. Just then, Evelyn called. She picked up.

“I’ve let bygones be bygones. Let’s hang out tomorrow,” Evelyn said.

Tm busy,” Hathaway replied curtly. Then, after a pause, she added, “As long as you’re still dating him. I’ll never have time for you.”

Evelyn gasped. ‘Oh my god, I get it now! You’re in love with me! You want to be my lesbian partner for life! You’re so evil, I can’t believe you.”

Hathaway hung up before she could finish.

As she set her phone down, she noticed a bowl of white strawberries beside her.

Mary or Celeste must have brought them up before bed, worried she might get hungry. Hathaway didn’t think much of it and popped one into her mouth.

By the time she’d finished most of the strawberries, Alan and the others were already off to work

She gave her hands a quick rinse and got back to her tasks.

For the next few days, Avery had people searching everywhere, but with barely any cameras–around the factory and nothing but scattered villages, farmland, and lakes nearby, the trail was completely dead. In the end, they came up empty–handed.

Before anyone knew it, over a month had gone by, and that whole thing turned to a mystery nobody could Crack

Avery replied, “Celeste isn’t comfortable with strangers around.”

Hathaway figured she wasn’t a fan of it either.

Her mother wouldn’t like it either.

Since nobody was into the idea, they dropped it.

If we’re going down, we’re going down together,‘ she thought.

“What do you want for your birthday the day after tomorrow?” Avery suddenly asked.

Hathaway paused, realizing it really had been three years since she returned.

It so happened that Jeremiah fell into the sea on her birthday.

He’d promised to spend her birthday with her, but in the end, he stood her up. She was pissed when she heard from others that he’d gone out on a yacht with Magnus Bergen and his crew.

She waited stubbornly until almost midnight, but Jeremiah never called or texted. She told everyone she was going to see Evelyn, but instead, she went to the beach by herself.

She stared out at the pitch–black sea, refusing to give up on him.

But instead of Jeremiah, all she saw was a figure, barely keeping afloat, struggling in the dark water.

With a single glance, Hathaway instantly recognized Jeremiah.

Just a cake. Hathaway said, snapping out of her memories.

“You’ve only ever asked for a cake for your birthday these past three years. I’m honestly running out of ideas,” Avery said with a helpless smile, ruffling her hair. “Three years ago, you’d be all excited, asking me for piles of jewelry and designer bags.

“What happened? You used to be so greedy, and now you barely want anything”

Hathaway lowered her gaze, trying to hide the sadness in her eyes.

The one thing she truly wanted was already gone for good. She was the one who let it slip away, who pushed it out of her life.

It was a treasure she could never reclaim, not in this lifetime.

“Tonight, the biggest donors and the center of attention are none other than Ms. Kingsley and Me Mackwood… Just them, Sylvia was watching the live broadcast of the charity gala on T, The Jokes gentle voice filled the room, full of praise

Thas time, Jessica had shaken off all the gloom. She looked calm, sharp, and totally in castrul, her presence futing the rooms.

strings behind the scenes, she had all the resources, connections, and cash she needed

Every partner was a top player in the industry, and the bidding wars were basically a cakewalk for her

In a few months, her company had blown up, going from a tiny startup to a hot new force everyone was watching. Everyone knew Jeremiah was backing her, and they all gave her a wide berth.

When the camera zoomed in on Jeremiah’s tall, commanding figure, Hathaway took the remote from Sylvia with a blank expression and switched the channel.

Sylvia glanced at her. “Can you deliver the gift for me tomorrow? It’s Claire’s big birthday celebration, and I won’t be attending

Ever since her husband passed away, Sylvia had pretty much become a recluse, staying out of the public eye So Hathaway took care of most of the social stuff for her.

“Okay,” Hathaway answered softly.

When Hathaway arrived at the Novak residence to deliver the gift, the butler told her the host was on the second floor. She made her way upstairs to find Claire. She hadn’t run into Jeremiah at all lately.

But as she walked down the second–floor hallway, she spotted him.

Jeremiah was in a secluded lounge on the second floor, with the Novak family patriarch personally keeping him company. Calvin was there with him.

The area was quiet, far from the noise downstairs. He nodded from time to time, responding quietly, his face showing the same composed, aloof expression Hathaway knew so well, as if the lively crowd below was a world away from him.

Hathaway paused for a moment, looked away, and turned into the room where the ladies were gathered. She handed the gift to Claire, offered a few words of congratulations, and quietly slipped out.

As her figure passed through the hallway, Jeremiah seemed to sense something and glanced over

After a moment, Jeremiah glanced at Calvin and said, “Not heading out?”

“Out?” Calvin echoed.

“How long are you going to keep pretending? Aren’t you two together?” Jeremiah frowned.

Calvin didn’t really have much to say, but he still gave her a sincere warning. Jeremiah only gets chatty with people he actually cares about. If he ever starts talking to you more than usual, you should be careful
