The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1171

Hestia immediately shook her head. "When I was with Eltham, we never crossed any lines. The child isn't his."

That was the confirmation the assistant had been waiting for. "Ms. Bennett, you better watch yourself."

After the assistant left, Hestia stared at the bank card on the table, feeling as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She collapsed into a chair, shaking, covering her face, unable to utter a single word.

The word was out, Hestia had been found.

Nathan got wind of the situation swiftly.

He arrived at Hestia's rented flat just as she was packing up.

"Ms. Bennett, what are you doing?"

Hestia zipped up her bag. "Nathan, you're here."

Noticing the nearly packed bags, Nathan frowned. "Ms. Bennett, I'm sorry. I failed to protect you."

"It's not on you."

Hestia stood up. "Eltham's people got to me. They want me out of Craneville."

She paused. "I know you were hoping to use me to drive a wedge between Eltham and Ms. Lynette, but it seems my presence didn't make much of a difference."

It was clear Eltham didn't want to see her again.

Nathan was taken aback by Hestia's awareness of their intentions. "Ms. Bennett..."

"Nathan, thank you for helping me," Hestia expressed her gratitude. "But I'm sorry, I can't help you. Twila and I can't stay in Craneville."

She was well aware of Eltham's tactics.

If they stayed, there wouldn't be any peace for them, and if Eltham discovered Twila's origins, things would only get harder for them both!

Nathan couldn't bear to let Hestia go but didn't want to see them suffer either.

"Ms. Bennett, why don't you head to Imperial City?"

Nathan offered a compromise. "I have plenty of friends there. Whether you're looking to settle or find work, they could help you."

Hestia was immensely grateful but didn't want to impose on Nathan any further. "Nathan, I appreciate your kindness, but it's not necessary. I want to take Twila to a new city."
