Chapter 315

With a cold stare, Mia confronted Maya, “I’ve warned you before not to provoke me. It seems like you
haven’t learned your lesson.”
Maya had deliberately attempted to hit her with the car just moments ago. If Mia hadn’t evaded in time,
the consequences could have been severe.
Although Maya may not have intended to cause fatal harm, as a pregnant woman, Mia couldn’t afford
to tolerate the risk of such an accidental injury.
A surge of anger coursed through Mia as she glared at Maya.
Indeed, Maya seemed like a malicious bitch.
Maya initially tried to resist, but Mia had a tight grip on her hair, causing even the slightest
movement to inflict pain on her scalp.
Despite the pain, Maya insisted, “You’re uttering nonsense. I didn’t hit you just now. Whatever you did
to my car, you know it well. I’ll make sure you pay for the damage!”
“Whether you hit me or not, you’re well aware of the truth. Surveillance cameras are scattered all
around, and your lies won’t hold,” Mia said confidently.
“You can involve the police. I don’t mind. However, who ends up getting arrested is uncertain,”
Mia continued calmly.
With a firm grip on Maya’s hair, Mia delivered a resounding slap to her face. “If you dare provoke
me again next time, I won’t let you off easily!”
Having uttered those words, Mia let go of Maya’s hair, nonchalantly patted her hand, and commented,
“If it weren’t for Grandma Laura’s surgery today, this matter wouldn’t.be settled!
“Consider it my good deed for the day, just gathering merits for Grandma Laura.”
With Laura undergoing surgery that day, Mia wanted to avoid any further trouble.
Holding her aching scalp, Maya felt a sense of numbness. She had never endured such humiliation in
her life, and she was determined not to let it slide.
Through gritted teeth, Maya retorted, “Mia, do you really believe having Grandma Laura’s support gives
you the right to act recklessly? You’re aware that Mrs. Barrett doesn’t like you, right?”
Maya secretly wished for Laura’s demise on the operating table, believing it would eliminate any
obstacle to her marrying into the Barrett family.
With Sharon around, Mia could never measure up to Maya.
“I’m not a currency bill. I don’t need everyone’s approval,” Mia asserted.

Her eyes exuded a hint of madness, sending shivers down Maya’s spine.
It seemed as though Mia had transformed into an entirely different person. Maya couldn’t help but
acknowledge her earlier miscalculation.
Mia briskly turned and entered the hospital, determined not to waste any more time on Maya.
Shortly after, Maya caught up from behind, but Mia remained indifferent, paying no attention to her
presence.
Maya adjusted her hair, keeping in mind the reason for her visit–to see Laura. At this moment, it was
imperative for her to convey a sign of respect.
As for settling the score with Mia, Maya decided to handle it alongside Sharon when they crossed
paths later.
Exiting the elevator, they were met by two imposing bodyguards dressed in black.
One of the bodyguards intercepted Maya, stating, “Apologies, you’re not allowed to enter.”
Observing Mia proceeding ahead without hindrance, Maya expressed her incredulity, “Why is she
allowed in then?”
Mia, too, was taken aback. She hadn’t anticipated that Maya would face any restrictions.
The bodyguard responded curtly, “Today, only members of the Barrett family are allowed inside. All
other visitors are restricted. As a Barrett, she has access.”
Mia looked back at Maya, a scornful expression on her face.
“Like I’ve said, as long as I’m here, you won’t be taking my place. Perhaps you should wait patiently
outside,” Mia remarked with a disapproving click of her tongue.
Frustrated, Maya stomped her foot and promptly called Shelly to inquire about the situation.
After all, Maya came with good intentions to visit Laura. How could she be denied entry?
Outside the ward, Mia encountered several stationed bodyguards.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, she realized the significance of today’s surgery.
