Yvonne sighed, placing her glass on the table. She gazed straight at Mia, asking, "how much do you want?"Mia's head snapped up in bewilderment. She was lost, struggling to grasp the woman's words."Don't play dumb," Yvonne scoffed. "You might fool Shawn and Damien by feigning gullibility, but not me. Cut the act."With each word, Mia's heart pounded."Feigni..." Her small voice trailed off. "I don't quite un..."Yvonne couldn't believe the girl's adept pretense. The urge to strike her across the face overwhelmed her, but she suppressed it."How much to keep away from Shawn?" She inquired calmly.Mia blinked in disbelief, "Excuse me?""50 million?" Yvonne cut in sharply."What?!" "150 million?"Mia’s eyes widened in disbelief.Noticing the girl's lack of response, Yvonne interpreted it as dissatisfaction with the offered amount. She scoffed."Fine. I'll wire you a check of 500 million. You won't find a better offer anywhere. Just vanish from sight," she added, "it won't be challengin

Jennifer Mandez

"How did you meet her?" Shawn's deep voice resonated with curiosity."Huh?" Mia looked up, puzzled by the unexpected question.What was he talking about?"You said she's not your birth mother, so how did you two cross paths?" He calmly inquired once more.Mia's eyes blinked repeatedly, and she took a deep breath as her mind strolled down memory lane.She began, "My dad brought in a woman and a daughter a few months older than me right after my mom was buried. It was devastating. From the moment they stepped into our house, I knew no peace. Three years ago, one night, I left home with the determination never to return." She paused and then continued, "Tears streamed down my face as I ran along the roadside with no destination in mind. Just as I kept running, I came across a burning vehicle."Shawn inhaled sharply, his heart pounding in his chest."An accident happened... Shattered glass scattered on the ground... Fear gripped me. Without a phone to call the police and the area eerily s

Amanda maintained a serious gaze as she spoke. “Don't get me wrong, I know she saved you and all, but that doesn't mean she should covet the position of Lady of Beats Corporations.""Plus,” She paused, “now that I think of it, the accident that year had been an attack—doesn't it seem suspicious? She comes to rescue you right after the accident... She paid the hospital bills and looked after you all these while… She met Shawn, and they're now together... “When I connect the dots, I can't help but be suspicious of her. There's more to her than meets the eye, don't you think so?"“She didn’t even make any effort to contact us while you were still in a coma…”Jennifer processed and digested all of Amanda's words, her eyes narrowing thoughtfully.

"How was work today?"Mia responded with a cute smile, "Well, it was stressful as usual, but..." she trailed off."Hmm," the older woman nodded in understanding.Twitching her lips, she said, "I'd like to express my gratitude for rescuing me that night, helping me to the hospital, and covering my medical expenses.

In an unusual silence, Shawn found himself without words."Why hide it from me? Why reveal it now?" He questioned.Jennifer's expression dropped as she murmured sadly.
