Chapter 951
“How dare you slap me, Mia Lane!” Sharon screamed in her squeaky voice.
Mia massaged her wrist. “So what if I’ve slapped you? Have you forgotten how I dealt with you and Luna, that pretentious woman? Seems like you
haven’t learned your lesson. You still have the nerves to provoke me.”
Sharon recalled something and grew guilty. “But still! You shouldn’t have been all physical! What if people find out what you did? It’ll ruin your name.”
“Does your IQ drop as you grow older? This is Nord City. You can try me, and I’ll make your life in Nord City a living hell.”
“You! Tim won’t let you get away with this!”
The glint in Mia’s eyes turned cold. “He was beaten up to a pulp the first day he came to Nord City and ended up wandering around the streets.
“He would’ve died here ages ago had I not made him my bodyguard. Do you think you can still do whatever you want here?”
Fear drained the color from Sharon’s face. “Y-You can’t do that.”
“So if you want to return to Bern City alive, behave. Get out of my sight and stop talking about the custody right. You won’t be this lucky next time,”
warned Mia.
She then shifted her gaze onto Veronica. “And you, better watch your language. I’ll rip your mouth off the next time I hear you speaking ill of my
daughter. I will make sure that happens.â€
Covering her face instinctively, Veronica didn’t dare to say a word. After all, she knew how Mia threatened Sharon by tying her up.
Mia was a lunatic woman.
Mia pivoted her heels and left the restroom while massaging her wrist.
There would always be someone out there testing her nerves.
At that moment, Mia received a call from Peyton. “What is it?”
“Ms. Mia, we found out that Mr. Shelbert is meeting a woman in the room. She also brought along a four-year-old boy. But we don’t know who they
are yet because they are wearing hats.”
That was out of Mia’s expectations. “Does Mr. Shelbert have a mistress? And she’s now trying to force her way to be Mrs. Shelbert by leveraging thei
child?”
It wasn’t uncommon to have scandals or illegitimate children as a mayor.
“What should we do, Ms. Mia?” asked Peyton.
Mia contemplated for a moment. “I’m going to meet him.”
“Are you planning to threaten him with this matter? Would it backfire?”
“It might if it was another person, but who am I? My brother is a famous actor who owns the largest entertainment agency. The best media news
outlet is on our side. If Mr. Shelbert wants to keep his affair a secret, working with me should be his best shot.”
After terminating the call, Mia took the elevator to head upstairs.
According to Sharon, Timothy was competing with her for this project. Although she didn’t care about the project, she didn’t want to lose! Not when
Timothy was the competitor!
This was Nord City! How could she lose to the Barretts, who came from Bern City?
There was no way she could stomach a loss against them!
She watched the numbers going higher and higher. The elevator suddenly stopped before it reached the highest floor.
Baffled, she wondered who else would want to go to the highest floor.
A pall of bad omen clouded her. She had a bad feeling about this.
The elevator door opened to reveal a man in a suit. It was that familiar handsome face again.
Mia flashed a smile at him. “What a coincidence, Mr. Barrett.”
Didn’t he run away back to Bern City only yesterday? Why would he show up at the banquet hall?
Timothy returned a faint smile. “It’s not a coincidence. I’ve been waiting for you.”
