NovelEnglishMia smiled slyly and said, "Mrs. Barrett, I'm afraid Timothy doesn't have the final say in this matter." Sharon turned to glare at her. "What nonsense are you spouting? Tim doesn't have the final say? "Dealing with Luna is as easy as squashing a bug. A woman with a criminal record like hers has no place in Nord City. She belongs behind bars in Bern City." Luna smirked. "If you didn't stay in Bern City, why should I?" "Do you think a woman of your lowly status can compete with me? Just because you snagged srich old man and had a kid, you think you can do whatever you want?" After hearing Sharon's rant, Mia realized she was clueless. After all, Asher was Sharon's husband's illegitimate child's son. If Sharon found out about this, it would be a devastating blow to her.
Luna laughed upon hearing that. "Timothy, do you see how arrogant the Barrett family is?" Timothy frowned and instructed his secretary, "Take my mom to the hospital." Sharon was furious. "I'm not going to the hospital. Why should I? It feels like everyone is treatinglike a fool and hiding secrets from me. Tim, tell me, what is Luna doing here? And who's backing her up?" Sharon was determined to get to the bottom of it. She was upset whenever she saw Luna.
Raymond intervened, "Mrs. Barrett, if we need to discuss this, let's go to a private room. There are too many eyes and cameras around, and we wouldn't want any undue attention." He naturally wanted to avoid any public scrutiny.
Sharon's demeanor softened upon noticing him.
Seeing this, Mia turned to leave, but Raymond called after her, "Ms. Lane, since we've run into each other why not join us for a meal? After all, we're acquainted." She replied coldly, "Even if we are, I don't see the need to dine together." Since she didn't want to eat with them, she headed to the elevator.
Timothy quickly approached her and asked in a hushed tone, "Did you chere alone?" Mia responded coldly, "That's none of your business. I'll have dinner with whoever I want." Luna strutted over in her high heels. "Timothy did you know that Ms. Lane is quite the socialite in Nord City? Rumors about her affairs are endless. Plus, she's not the orphan from Bern City anymore." n Mia glanced at Luna. "Remember when someone used to act all holier-than-thou, saying they weren't into luxury brands? Now look at them all decked out in brands from head to toe. Guess you can't keep those true desires hidden forever." Luna gritted her teeth and said, "I never really cared about all this before. But isn't it because I was broke and powerless that you all looked down on me?" "You think we respect you now with your current status?" Luna shot back angrily, "Mia, say that again! I'm not the sperson you all used to bully." "I said, an illegitimate daughter like you will never be respected." Just then, Jasmine stepped out of the elevator.
