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 cto 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."

I will make sure that happens." 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.

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.

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 cfrom 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 handsface 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."
