PopularNovelChapter 710 “Hey Monalize, please don’t get upset. Aunt Sharon can be a bit critical of people who aren't as well-off, and she tends to prefer those who are wealthy.
“She simply wants Tim to marry into a family of equal status, and at the stime, she doesn’t want to feel overshadowed by her future daughter-in-law.
“That's why she made those remarks earlier, to assert her position over you. It's not that she truly questions your identity!” Shelly explained hastily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMia's expression hardened. “But I've never faced such treatment before.” “Monalize, you don’t need to heed Aunt Sharon. After all, our household belongs to Tim. As long as Tim accepts you, you don’t need Aunt Sharon's approval. With your family backing you up, Aunt Sharon won't have any power over you.” Shelly was worried that if Monalize ended her relationship with Timothy, she might lose the privileges she enjoyed.
Upon hearing Shelly's explanation, Mia's eyes gleamed with a hint of mockery. “I didn't expect Mrs. Barrett to treatthis way after just one meeting. It’s truly disheartening.” “Monalize, Aunt Sharon’s judgment may be clouded. Her family has fallen on hard times, so she’s eager to find a wealthy daughter-in-law to salvage her reputation,” Shelly clarified.
Mia couldn't help but scoff at the notion. The expectation of finding a wealthy daughter-in-law while also demanding respect seemed unrealistic to her.
Letting out a sigh, Mia turned to Shelly. “Shelly, | had hoped we could be a family. | even planned to give this card to Mrs. Barrett as a gift.
“But | didn’t anticipate her strong dislike for me. Without Timothy's parents’ approval, I'm starting to question our relationship.” Upon hearing this, Shelly quickly interjected, “Monalize, don’t lose confidence so quickly. You have to trust Tim.
“Besides, we're practically family now; there's no need for you to take Anint Mia's demeanor softened slightly at Shelly’s words. “We'll see. Anyway, | should be going.” “Monalize, are you still takingto that private Vior fashion show you mentioned earlier?” “Of course, I'm not one to hold grudges,” Mia replied as she stepped into the elevator. However, as the doors closed, her smile faded.
A hint of mockery flickered in her eyes. It seemed Shelly was indeed a convenient pawn-easily appeased with just a few purchases.
As Mia strolled toward the underground parking lot, she noticed Peyton waiting nearby. “Ms. Mia, it looks like things didn’t go as expected with Mrs. Barrett,” Peyton remarked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeah, just seeing that old woman's face gets on my nerves. Who even puts up with her bad habits?” Nonetheless, Mia couldn't care less. She wasn’t trying to impress the Barrett family in the first place; it was all just an act.
Even without her memories fully restored, Mia's animosity toward Sharon was evident, revealing the depth of her past disdain toward her.
Glancing at Peyton, Mia instructed, “Get all the luxury items ready for Shelly. Use top-notch replicas. There's no need to purchase genuine ones.” Mia was determined not to splurge so much money on someone like Shelly.
Moreover, since Shelly had complete trust in her at the moment, using high- quality replicas wouldn't arouse any suspicion for now.
Once Shelly eventually discovered the truth, there would be no need to maintain the facade.
Upon arriving hthat evening, Mia received a call from Timothy. “Are you +15 BONUS “Yeah, about the items you bought for Shelly today, charge them all to my account. I'll make sure the store reimburses you later.” Mia's face brightened with a smile upon hearing this. “Mr. Barrett, they're not expensive. You don’t need to be so formal with me.” “Shelly can be quite immature. You don’t have to go overboard buying her things in the future.” Upon hearing this, Mia intentionally remarked, “I happened to run into your mother while shopping today. We had a somewhat unpleasant encounter.”
