There's no need to strain our relationship over a commoner woman, wouldn't you agree?" Unfazed, Mia smirked and responded, "I'll say it again. If Harper chooses not to pursue charges and decides to reconcile, my lawyer can return at any moment. Instead of wasting twith me, you should focus on earning Harper's forgiveness."

Otherwise, there was a risk of Jason being misled by the Bowen family's legal representatives.
"Mia, I understand the situation. You don't need to worry about the Bowen family. I'll handle it." "Thank you, Jason." With Jason's law firm involved, Mia wouldn't have to worry about a thing.
