The Billionaire Heir Fell for the Wrong Girl (Hathaway Whitmore) novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154

Lila still told the family about Evelyn having a boyfriend who works as a waiter, and buying him a house

Of course, the family didn’t approve.

Especially Sylvie, who thought Evelyn had lost her mind. Is a handsome face going to pay the bills she thought.

That day, while Evelyn was out, Sylvie called her home to scold her. “Are you out of your mind, Evelyn! You have everything going for you, and you choose to get involved with some broke nobody?

“What kind of future can a waiter possibly offer you? Is being good–looking going to pay the bills or take care of you for the rest of your life?

“We raised you with so much care, not so you could lower your standards and throw yourself at a guy who has nothing to his name!

“And you went behind our backs to buy him a house, making a spectacle of yourself. Have you no pride left? You’re making the Montgomery family a laughingstock.”

Evelyn only asked, “Who told you that?”

“Lila saw it. She’s looking out for you,” said Sylvie.

Evelyn grabbed her car keys and headed straight to the dental clinic. The moment she walked in, she asked, “Did Hathaway come by?”

Lila gave a cold laugh, then said with a touch of envy, “Your friend’s really got your back. If it were me, I wouldn’t care.

“She gets scolded and has to put up with so much for trying to help you. The more she tries, the more trouble she gets. But she still sticks her neck out for you. You should really treasure a friend like that.”

Evelyn wasn’t having any of it. She was still fuming. Is she seriously still snitching to my parents at her age? Evelyn thought.

She pulled out her phone and called Hathaway out in their group chat, telling her to come face hier

Hathaway ignored her.

Leo saw the message and thought, Here we go again!

Leo had his bodyguards try to snap some photos, but Ryder was way too aler. Whenever he was alone with that little white flower from the orphanage, he’d always pull the curtains shut before doing anything

And whenever they were out in public, they acted like model siblings

Every time, the curtains were dew, and every me, the bodyguards came back empty handed-

Chapter 154

Leo was at his wits end.

He’d thought about having his bodyguards bust into Felix’s place to get some evidence. If they caught something scandalous, perfect.

But if they came up empty, Felix could call the cops and press charges against him.

Breaking was no joke, and if he screwed up, Alistair would be pissed and probably send him packing to Dilwaina again.

The sharp crack of billiard balls echoed in the room.

Leo instinctively looked up, his gaze landing on the man not far away.

Jeremiah was holding his cue in one hand, the stick angled lazily as the tip barely touched the table, waiting with a laid–back air for his opponent to make a move.

Lately, Jeremiah had been bringing Leo along to his private gatherings.

Alistair was over the moon about it and kept telling Leo to stay close to Jeremiah and learn a thing or two about being sharp and seeing the bigger picture.

Leo walked over. “Jeremiah, I need a word with you.”

Jeremiah nodded for him to continue.

Leo gave him the rundown.

Jeremiah let out a mocking laugh. “Falling for a waiter? Ms. Montgomery, that’s some ambition.”

Hathaway had a thing for a guy with nothing, while Evelyn was chasing after a waiter.

No wonder they’re friends, he thought.

Jeremiah, what should I do?” Leo asked.

Jeremiah scoffed, “Why not storm in and get it over with?”

“Isn’t that a bit much?” Leo replied.

Jeremiah shot Leo a look. “No wonder you’re so cautious. Lucas has got way more nerve than you

Leo thought to himself. If he didn’t have the guts, would he dream of chasing after the same wou pola

But our loud, he said, “Honestly, it’s not really my business, and I don’t see ang reison to stick my mick out, D0% that Hathaway hemps crying. Her friend’s about to make a huge mistake, md it’s been weighting on her

Jeremiah paused mid–roke, then went back to his game like nothing happened. “Jour stay out of it. he said

That was wht Legwo hoping for

Chapter 154

He headed back to the couch, let out a sigh of relief, and lounged there with his legs crossed, waiting

Soon, Victor walked in. Jeremiah turned his head and said a few words to him. Victor listened, then shot Lega look, like he hadn’t expected to be dragged into this by a spoiled heir, before heading out.

Leo felt a chill run down his spine.

Victor was probably grumbling to himself, thinking, “Why do I have to help this trust fund baby with something so trivial?

But honestly, this wasn’t really about doing Leo a favor.

This was about helping whoever ends up as Mrs. Blackwood in the future.

Leo’s mind suddenly froze.

“Hathaway probably won’t ever become Mrs. Blackwood, right?‘ Leo thought to himself.

Jeremiah only ever had a thing for exceptionally brilliant women.

Alright, I’m getting way ahead of myself, Leo thought.

Meanwhile, Hathaway was leaving the baby store.

Without realizing it, she’d somehow managed to fill her shopping bags again.

As she was about to take the mall elevator down to the underground parking lot, she ran into Sophia

The moment Sophia saw Hathaway, her face fell, her eyes burning with undisguised anger.

Her son had ended up exiled to some godforsaken dump, and it was all thanks to this woman.

Even though Sophia tried everything, pretending to be sick, claiming it was her birthday, or saying she wanted to meet his girlfriend, Alistair would still send him away again in no time.

“Hathaway, are you feeling pretty pleased with yourself right now?” Sophia’s voice was sharp. “Messing around with both Jeremiah and his brother wasn’t enough for you? Now you’ve got your claws in Lucas, too!

‘If u weren’t for you, Lucas wouldn’t have gotten exiled and had to suffer in some godforsaken place”

Hathaway’s face went stiff “This has nothing to do with me.

Sophia completely ignored her defense, rambling on without paying any mind to Hathaway’s words. Even if Luce came back from that backwater with any woman on his arm, the Reed family wouldn’t say a word.

All I wam for you to let a go. Ms. Whitmore Let him have a real chance at life.”

Hathaway said, “Sophus, you really don’t have to worry. There’s nothing briwen Lucas and me. I ever liked

Chapter 154

At those words, Sophia’s hands suddenly balled into tight fists.

Her proud, high–and–mighty son had once been so bewitched by Hathaway that he actually went so far as to beg her to marry him.

Alistair had warned her that Hathaway was caught up in a messy, ambiguous affair with both Blackwood brothers.

She couldn’t let Lucas stay obsessed with her, or he’d end up dragging trouble onto himself and the whole Reed family

Sophia forced out through gritted teeth, “Fine. Very fine.”

She shot Hathaway a cold, piercing look. “I hope you keep your word.”

With that, Sophia didn’t stick around. She turned on her heel and went straight to find Alistair. Since Hathaway wasn’t interested, she’d have to beg Alistair to bring Lucas back home as soon as possible.
