NovelEnglish"Stop wasting your time, Mia Lane. Mr. Shelbert will never give you the project that easily." Mia turned around only to see Sharon and Veronica, who had picked on Mia a lot of times in the past. Veronica was also a troublesone. Mia hung up the phone. "As if you have the call to decide that." "Indeed, I don't. But my son does." Hearing that, Mia wrapped her head around the situation. The competitor was indeed the Barrett family from Bern City.
Was Timothy doing this on purpose? He clearly knew that she was taking the lead for the project. Why was he being such a busybody? Sharon said proudly, "Did you finally realize how impressive my son is, Mia?" Mia rested against the sink. "So what? He becmy bodyguard in Nord City though." That infuriated Sharon. "Glad you brought that up, Mia. Why did you have to stir things up between the collaboration between Ralph and the Bowens? Just what do you gain from doing this?" As Mia had expected, Sharon cto Nord City for her reckless younger brother.
Mia smirked. "Firstly, I didn't do anything. It was Timothy who didn't agree to work with the Bowens. What does this have to do with me?" Veronica blurted, "How dare you claim innocence. Didn't Mr. Lewis get engaged with you? I bet you used Timothy and the collaboration ended up terminated." "Why would I get engaged with him? I have higher standards though." "You're a divorced woman with a kid. How dare you be picky? It won't be easy for you to get married because you have a kid. You might as well give us the child." The glint in Mia's eyes simmered. These people surely weren't going to give up any tsoon.
Stepping forward, Mia confronted Veronica. "I said, I would never hand over the custody right to your family, so you better stop dreaming." "It's for your sake too, Mia. Your family may be rich, but the assets will be inherited by your brothers. What will you receive in the end? The identity you have is a mere shell. If you hand over Ginger to us, she can inherit our family's assets. "Inherit your family's assets?" Mia looked at Sharon in disbelief. "It's not like Timothy's dead already. He will have kids in the future, so why the rush? Is he not going to survive tonight or what?" "Stop cursing my son! He's healthy! I just don't want my granddaughter to wander outside there. If Tim has a son in the future, I may consider giving Ginger a portion of the inheritance." "Sorry, but my daughter is richer than you right now. She has owned a Vior VIP membership card since birth. Your money is nothing to her." Sharon's lips pursed into a thin line, hoping that Mia could stop mentioning the VIP membership card.
Mia spun around and walked out of the restroom.
Veronica followed and blocked her way. "Wait! We're not finished yet. Your daughter is a burden. Without her, you can marry someone better." Mia's patience reached its limit when she heard that statement about Ginger. "My daughter is not a burden." "How is she not? Otherwise, why haven't you gotten married in the past four years? You're the 'Ms. Lane'! What other reasons could it be other than that she is a burden?" Mia slapped her without hesitation.
