Chapter 76

Maya left the office with the thermal flask, a smirk creeping onto her face as she thought, “Mia, you
have
nothing against me.”

She would convince Connor by any means to perform the surgery on Laura. This was the only
get rid of Mia.
Timothy was feeling somehow frustrated after browsing through the documents in his office.
He called out to Heath. “Pay her the remaining amount.”
Heath immediately attended to this matter. Then, he placed a takeout container on the table.
“Mr. Barrett, it’s time for lunch.”
Timothy set aside the documents and went toward the coffee table.
When he saw the food in the container, his expression darkened in an instant.
“What’s this?”
“Rib stew. I thought it was your favorite?”
Instinctively, Timothy was reminded of what Mia said earlier on.
Infuriated, he rubbed his temples as he snapped, “Don’t ever let me see this dish again!”
Just as Mia arrived at her studio, she received a text notification from the bank.
After she counted the amount she had received, she was sure the remaining 800 thousand dollars was
deposited into her account.
She thought Timothy wouldn’t pay her the remaining sum. After all, he heard her calling him a
masochist.
Well, this was unexpected.
Did she misunderstand him after all? Although he cheated on her, was he actually a kind person?
Just then, Wilhelmina stepped out of the office and jeered, “Mia, where’s the remaining payment?
We’ve been waiting.”
Felix was standing in front of the office as he chimed in, “Alright, there’s no rush. Take your time to
collect the payment.”
In response, Mia waved her phone at him as she replied, “It’s such a shame to break it to you that I’ve
already collected the payment.”
With a smile, Felix said, “I knew you could do it, Mia.”

Wilhelmina was infuriated when she saw Felix siding with Mia.
“But I heard when you went to supervise, you were getting quite physical with the owner of the
mansion, Isn’t that so? Of course it’d be easy for you to collect the payment.”
However, Felix reprimanded her instead, “Wilhelmina, watch what you say.”
“What’s wrong? Are you worried she can’t take it?”
Mia burst into laughter at her remark.
She stared at her as she retorted, “Are you Jealous? I heard you volunteered to supervise one of our
clients
who was hot and rich, but you were kicked out instead.”
Wilhelmina’s expression changed in an instant.
“Stop spitting nonsense!*
“Oh, I happen to have the housekeeper’s contact as well. Do you want me to verify whether this has
happened
to you?”
Furious, Wilhelmina tried to slap Mia’s face. Yet, Mia grabbed her hand and slapped her instead.
“Mia Bowen! How dare you?”
“You started it first. We have surveillance cameras here. I’m sure it has been taken down clearly.”
Wilhelmina was trembling in a fit of rage. She swerved toward Felix.
“Felix, you saw what she did.”
Felix quickly dragged her into the office and shot a look at Mia.
“Mia, you can get off work earlier today.”
Mia didn’t stay too long at the office either. Once she packed her things, she took her leave.
She somehow remembered what Timothy mentioned earlier. Laura’s condition was indeed quite
worrying.
When she got home, she mentioned this to Patricia.
Patricia sighed, “Sure, go ahead. After all, Mrs. Barrett’s a kind lady. She has been caring for you for
the past
three years.”
Mia packed light. She only took a few clothes with her since it was only a two-day stay.
When her gaze fell upon the prescription bottle filled with folic acid tablets in the drawer, she grabbed it
and shoved it in her bag as well. Since Timothy saw the bottle before, he wouldn’t suspect it again.
Only after she had dinner with Patrica did she leave for the marital home in a cab.
Just as Mia stepped into the hall, she saw Laura and Sharon on the couch. The last thing she’d expect
was
Laura to visit this soon.
Oh, no!
