The Billionaire Heir Fell for the Wrong Girl (Hathaway Whitmore) novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158

On the way to the Blackwood family, an unknown number called.

Hathaway answered.

It was Lucas. “You have to come to my engagement party. If you don’t show up. I’ll keep putting it off forever

Hathaway replied. “Suit yourself. Get engaged or don’t, I don’t care.”

Hathaway hung up, frowning.

The car pulled up smoothly outside the Blackwood Villa. She got out and followed the butler inside in silence

As she walked through the long, winding covered walkway, a cool breeze swept through.

For a moment, a gentle and vague female voice seemed to echo in her ears. “Ms. Whitmore Group, I’m su jealous of you.”

She remembered that tutor.

Hathaway paused, thinking the tutor must have envied her for the privileged family and bright future she was born into.

Hathaway vaguely remembered the tutor saying something else, maybe asking her a question.

She instinctively pressed her hand to her forehead, her face pale. Hathaway tried to recall, but her mind drew a blank

“Ms. Whitmore, are you alright? You don’t look so good.” the butler said, noticing Hathaway leaning against a pillar. “Are you feeling sick?”

Hathaway shook her head. “Let’s go.”

Eleanor was already waiting in the living room.

When she saw Hathaway walk in, she immediately gave her a warm, gentle smile and said, “Hathaway, it’s been ages since you last visited me.

“You look more beautiful than before. Come, sit with me, and let’s catch up.”

Hathaway walked over and quietly took a seat. “Mrs. Blackwood,”

After a bit of small talk, Eleanor didn’t beat around the bush. “So, have you thought about things between you and Lorenzo?

Hathaway replied, “I only see him as a friend. I’ve never filed Lorenzo YT WAS

Eleanor paused. Is it because you will have feelings for Jepenuh

Chapter 158

Hathaway shook her head, but her heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly remembered that her female tutor had once asked, “Why do you like the older one but not the younger one?”

“Because he’s younger, Hathaway had replied. Back then, she was a freshman in high school, and Lorenz a seventh–grader. No way would she ever like him that way. She thought the tutor wat kind of odd

The tutor smiled and said, “But I actually like the younger one.”

Hathaway slowly stood up as the memory hit her. The next day, she stormed into Lorenzo’s room and blurted out. “Hey, I think your tutor has a crush on you.”

His ears went bright red instantly.

That was when Hathaway realized Lorenzo liked the tutor, too. When she saw the tutor again that weekend, she told her. “Miss, he likes you, too.”

“Hathaway? Hathaway?” Eleanor waved her hand in front of her, frowning. “What’s wrong?”

Hathaway looked pale and thought, I must have misunderstood everything back then.

She’d always assumed the tutor was talking about Lorenzo when she said she liked the younger one,

But Hathaway had forgotten that Jeremiah had skipped grades and was already in college, like the tutor, but he was still a few years younger than her. Of course, the tutor would call him the younger one.

At last, Hathaway understood why Lorenzo had tried to poison her in her previous life.

So, without realizing it, she’d meddled in someone else’s life and ended up hurting another girl.

“Hathaway?” Eleanor immediately noticed how pale and drained Hathaway looked, worry etched across her face. “Why do you look so pale? Is something wrong? Are you feeling sick?”

Just then. Zara brought over a bowl of soup. Eleanor said, “Hathaway, have a little. No matter what happens between you and Lorenzo, you’re still the girl I watched grow up. I’ve always had a soft spot for you”

All those desperate memories from her previous life came crashing back, like how she’d wasted away, endured endless torment, and ended up with such a miserable fate.

She couldn’t bring herself to eat anything from the Blackwood family anymore.

Hathaway quietly pushed all the dishes in front of her away, not touching a single drop

When she looked up, her eyes were cold and distant. “Mrs. Blackwood, I came bee today to make thing clear I will not be registering my marriage with Labenzo,”

After saying that, she gave a sligha.bow.clearly home, so I’ll be leaving now

Blackwood Villa without a second glance.

She drove alone, aimlessly, until she finally stopped by the sea.

SO

The sea breeze hit her face, and she felt lost, like everything around her was unreal, almost like an illusion

Maybe her father’s death, her mother’s long illness, and all the tragedies between Avery and her had nothing to do with Jeremiah

But the final blow that destroyed Whitmore Group and toppled the Whitmore family was all his doing, from start to finish.

In her previous life, she’d confronted Jeremiah in a panic, but he never tried to deny it. He admitted it outright. He was the one who orchestrated Whitmore Group’s downfall

Just then, her phone rang.

No caller ID, but Hathaway instantly knew it was Jeremiah.

Hathaway hesitated for a moment before picking up. There was stuff she was too afraid to say face–to–face Now, she could finally say it.

“Did you miss me?” Jeremiah asked gently. “I’ll be back soon.

Hathaway said coldly, “Jeremiah, I have something to say to you. You must’ve realized it by now, right? I stopped loving you ages ago. I don’t feel a thing for you anymore.

“I want you to know, no matter how, I will-

Jeremiah cut her off, “You’ll always be mine.”

“W–What?” Hathaway choked out.

“I’m going to make you mine, Jeremiah repeated.

What a psycho. Seriously, gross, Hathaway thought.

She was shaking with anger as she hurriedly hung up, muttering, “Go to hell.”

Jeremiah was way more scheming and thick–skinned than Lucas ever was
