"I know what happened to the bone marrow. I've sent out all the men we have. We should receive news soon," Dominic reassured Mia."Dominic, ask someone to keep an eye on Luna. I think she's involved in this."Luna was always plotting against Mia. On top of that, she was the one who told Sharon that Timothy would donate his bone marrow.Mia reckoned that Luna did something else too.Not long after, Mia received a message from the bodyguard who was in charge of monitoring Luna. "Luna didn't go home after work. She went to a villa."He stayed on watch for a while, but he couldn't find out who else was there.Mia made up her mind. "Send some men over. Keep watching her. I'll make my way there."Her hunch was telling her that Sharon was definitely there. She'd rather make a mistake than miss her chance to discover the truth.So, Mia headed to the villa.The bodyguard next to her asked, "Ms. Mia, should we inform Mr. Barrett?"She smirked. "Don't inform him for now."Because she d
Mia was vexed. Dark clouds were hanging over her head.Once she had confirmed that the duo orchestrated the theft, things would be easier for her.Surprised, Sharon shrieked, "You mad woman! W-What are you doing!""Want to live? Give me back the bone marrow!" Mia yelled.Sharon gulped in fear. Mia somehow turned scary to her.Luna stepped forward, shielding Sharon. The latter was touched by her protective side.Contented with Sharon's reaction, Luna said, "Ms. Monalize, is this the way to speak to Mrs. Barrett? The bone marrow doesn't belong to you, it belongs to her son. Fix your attitude. If you have a favor to ask for, act accordingly."Ego seeped into her voice. She knew that Mia would come begging for her one day!Sharon became confident. "T-That's right!"Mia casually picked up a piece of glass from the table, marching toward Sharon. "Tell me, how should I act?"The aura she carried was strong and the depth of her eyes bore something dark and evil.Sharon was so scared
Luna, who was livid as well, celebrated inwardly when she heard what Sharon said.That was exactly what Luna had hoped for."Still not admitting your defeat, huh?" Mia stomped on Sharon's hand, sending Sharon crying like a swine.Luna gaped at that. She didn't see that coming.Still holding the shred of glass, Mia crouched in front of Sharon. "You lost the right to negotiate with me the moment I stepped into this house. As I said, my daughter means the world to me. But you guys just wouldn't listen. Since you have a death wish, I might as well do you a favor."Pain drained the color from Sharon's face. "Tim… Tim will never forgive you!""Do you think he can do anything about it even if he comes?" Mia taunted.Mia came fully prepared. No one could stop her when her son's life was at stake! No one!Luna begged, "Let her go, Ms. Monalize. Just come at me. It's rude of you to hurt her. She's older than us, we should respect her!"How righteous of her.Mia turned to look at Luna.
A deep cut appeared across Luna's face, sending Sharon into a shriek of cry.Sharon didn't expect Mia to actually hurt Luna!The fresh blood oozing out of the wound on Luna's face completely freaked Sharon out.Luna looked at Sharon, feeling the warm sensation on her face.However, her limbs were tied so she couldn't check what happened to her face. Then, she saw the blood dripping onto the floor.Why was there so much blood?Luna's face fell and she screamed at Mia, "You ruined my face! Do you think you can get that bone marrow? I'll destroy it and your daughter will die in that vacuum chamber!"Mia wasn't angered by the provocation, but her expression grew more solemn.Her hand moved to the other side of Luna's cheek, the glass resting against Luna's skin."How about you die first?" Mia said, her voice dripping with malice.Luna zipped her lips in fear, not daring to utter a single word."Why the sudden silence? Keep running that mouth of yours." Mia's tone was monotonou
"Didn't you say you're Ms. Lane? If you're really that powerful, you might as well look for it yourself!" Luna retorted.Mia grabbed Luna's neck. "If you don't tell me by the count of three, your face is going to be ruined. Let's see. What should I draw? A turtle or a cat's face?""Don't you dare!" Luna growled. Mia began counting, "One… two…"At the third second, Sharon couldn't put up with it anymore. "Don't hurt her. I know where it is."Mia turned her attention to Sharon. "Finally, there's a smart one here. Give it to me and I'll let both of you go."She would only be this lenient today.Right when Sharon was going to reveal where the bone marrow was, a group of people barged into the place all of a sudden.Timothy, marching at the frontline, headed straight to the kitchen. His face turned grim after he took in the situation. It was chaotic.He didn't expect Mia to be a step ahead of him."Tim, you're finally here!" Luna's eyes shone with a glimmer of hope. "Son, you
Things were getting tense.Timothy looked at Mia. "I will find out where the bone marrow is. I promise.""On what grounds? If I don't know where the bone marrow is by today, I am not going to let them go. You can try me, Timothy Barrett." She stood in front of him daringly.Feeling helpless, he revealed to Sharon, "Mom, Ginger's my daughter. How could you hide the bone marrow? She's your biological granddaughter."Sharon froze for a moment, clearly doubting what she heard. "Don't try to fool me. How could her child be my granddaughter?"Perhaps this woman was really Mia Bowen?"She really is Mia Bowen, Mom. She was pregnant when she left, and I am the father of the child," Timothy explained."What? She's Mia Bowen? Didn't you guys say that she simply looked a lot like her?"Timothy sighed, "I have no reasons to lie to you, Mom. She is Mia Bowen. I did suspect her identity at the beginning. You know what happened between her and us. She lied because she doesn't want to have anyt
"You want the bone marrow? Sure. Tell Mia to get on her knees before me and admit her mistakes. Then, take that little girl away and never return to Bern City! If she can do that, I will give her the bone marrow," Luna laid out her conditions.Mia said, "You'll never learn your lesson, will you?" She glanced at her bodyguard, who promptly took his phone out to make a video call.Then, Mia showed the phone screen to Luna. "Look who we have here."On the screen, there was a boy tied up with his mouth taped shut. It was Asher.The sight of her son getting kidnapped sent Luna into a frenzy. "You despicable bitch! What are you trying to do to my son!""I'm not trying to do anything to him. As long as you give me the bone marrow, he'll be fine."Luna turned to Timothy right away. "Tim, look at what she's doing to Asher! What if he gets hurt? You promised me you'll protect him forever."Yanking Luna's hair, Mia quipped, "Don't put your hopes on a man. Timothy doesn't have a say in th
Panic surged within Luna like a tidal wave, as she wasn't sure if the nurse had disposed of the bone marrow.If the nurse had thrown it away, Mia might really hurt Asher!Left with no choice, Luna pleaded with Timothy, "Tim, you promised to protect Asher for life! You can't take that back now!""If I can't protect my own daughter, why must I protect someone else's son?" Timothy said calmly.His firm stance broke the last straw in her. She turned to Sharon. "Mrs. Barrett, you like Asher so much!"Sharon was confused. "What do you mean by that, Tim? Asher's not your son?"Luna interrupted her, "Asher's your grandson! Tim promised to treat Asher like his own son! Does it really matter if he's really his biological son?"Sharon was shell-shocked. Asher wasn't Timothy's son after all!"I've never admitted that he's my son," Timothy responded coldly.That was quite a surprise to Mia. Sharon thought that Asher was Timothy's son this whole time.In fact, Mia had assumed the same befo
