Mia glanced at her phone but refrained from answering, sensing that it probably wasn't good news she was about to receive.The persistent ringing, however, showed no signs of stopping.With a sense of resignation, Mia reluctantly answered the call, "Hello?""You brat, what's going on? Why didn't you pick up when I called? Don't you know I have something urgent to discuss with you?"Mia replied coldly, "What's the matter?"On the other end of the line, Mary exclaimed, "Mia, transfer a hundred thousand dollars to me right away!""A hundred thousand? Why don't you just rob a bank?"Mia knew that whenever Mary called, it surely involved money, and this time was no exception, with a demand for a hefty sum right from the start."Mia, spare me the act. Your husband is loaded. After all, you're in charge of your family's finances. Now that your biological family is in the picture, there's no way you're short on a hundred grand."I've been considerate enough not to bother you recently,

Just as Shelly was on the verge of turning around, Mia swiftly interjected, "Let's discuss matters calmly, there's no need to be impulsive."Mia was determined not to become entangled with her adoptive parents again, having finally distanced herself from her old neighborhood.Despite any resentment that Bob and Mary might harbor, Mia was aware that they couldn't exert any control over her.She was adamant about preserving the tranquility of her current life.Wearing a smug expression, Shelly continued to drive forward.Before long, Mia noticed the Barrett Group nearby. She hadn't anticipated coming here.Parking her car in the designated spot, Shelly proudly remarked, "Mia, this place is unfamiliar to you, isn't it? Allow me to give you a guided tour this time."Back when you were the Barrett family heiress, you didn't consider this building worthy of visiting. However, I'll gladly show you around now. Don't bother thanking me!"Mia gazed at Shelly impassively and remarked, "Ac

Confronted by Shelly's stare, Maya summoned the courage to speak, "Tim, initially, this was just a minor issue. Wilhelmina orchestrated everything, so please don't hold Shelly responsible."With a cold expression, Timothy curtly replied, "I have things to attend to. You can leave."Feeling somewhat flustered, Maya continued, "Tim, there's something I need to discuss with you. For our engagement ceremony, Dominic and my brothers will also be present."Maya specifically came to inform Timothy about this matter.Indeed, their engagement held profound significance for her.After all, with Timothy now divorced from Mia, she considered herself the most suitable partner for him, confident that no one could rival her.Lowering his eyes, Timothy retorted, "So what? Our engagement was never real in the first place, and you know it better than anyone else."Maya's breath caught for a moment, and she spoke with a pleading tone, "Tim, could you please help me maintain a sense of dignity in f

Mary's antics reduced Mia's voice to a whisper. "Let's discuss this outside.""Uh-huh, I don't want to. Let's sort things out in front of your colleagues. About why you don't wanna help us. Back when you were on the brink of death in the orphanage, we were the ones who adopted and raised you. "And you're not acknowledging us as your parents? How could you be this ungrateful?" Mary had fully unleashed her potential in mixing truth with fabrications, hurling backlashes against Mia.Meanwhile, Bob, who played the role of an honest family man, recounted to the watching colleagues, "We're at our wit's end. Raising Mia took up a lot of our savings. But now she's avoiding us when we need money."Mia shot a cold stare at her brazen adoptive parents. "You didn't pay for my studies."Mary whined, "How ungrateful of you! Who else could have paid for your studies other than us, Mia? You won so many cash prizes and have a decently paid job, but now you refuse to give us even a cent of it."A

Mia double-checked the caller's name on her phone—it was indeed Timothy.Perplexed, she mused, "Why on earth is he calling me? Could he have dialed the wrong number?"The persistent ringing prompted her to answer reluctantly, "What do you want, Mr. Barrett?""Your adoptive parents tracked down the villa and demanded money from me."Mia was mortified, and a wave of embarrassment surged through her. "Drive them out. Don't give them a single penny.""Deal with it yourself. I'm busy," he curtly replied before ending the call. After tidying up her belongings, Mia hailed a cab to the villa. Standing before the house, memories flooded her mind. After all, she hadn't visited the place since moving out.A brief hesitation hung in the air before she pressed the doorbell.The heated argument inside was audible even before the door opened. It seemed like her adoptive parents weren't alone—Sharon's voice joined the fray.Mia's heart sank to the pit of her stomach as she wondered why
