NovelEnglishChapter 400 Gritting her teeth, Mia spat, "Zayn, if you have even a shred of conscience left, letleave and stay out of our lives!" "It isn't like that. It's not..." Zayn was in visible agony as he was accused by the woman he loved.
His face contorted in pain, but at this moment, there was nothing he could do except offer meaningless words in his defense.

"You're just a mama's boy who only knows how to obey his mother. Mia must have committed sserious sins in her past life to be stuck with a pathetic excuse of a man like you in this one. I feel embarrassed on your behalf!" Zayn flinched as if Angela's words had physically hurt him. He abruptly stood up, his eyes filled with desperation. "Angela, please don't say that. You have to helpI truly care for her. I'll take responsibility as a father and make sure they never suffer again. I'll also convince my family to let us get married. That way, Leo will have a complete family. He needs that more than anything..." Oh, wow. What a saint! Did Zayn really think he was making the ultimate sacrifice for Mia? Angela's eyes widened. She found his words utterly ridiculous.
"Why don't you just ask Mia whether she agrees to that and check if Leo is okay with that? Do you honestly believe you're someone capable of bearing responsibility?" What kind of joke was this? At this moment, Layla, who'd remained silent until now, spoke up with a dark expression. "Ms. Graham, this is a family matter. As an outsider, it's not your place to interfere!" Angela had always respected those who were much older and hadn't had a bad impression of Layla, but right then, whatever goodwill she had toward Layla disappeared.
"Mrs. Jewell Senior, as a woman yourself, why make things harder for another woman?" Angela sneered T don't believe for a second that you're unaware of what Mrs. Jewell did to Mia. To her, the Jewell familyis nothing but a trap. Unless she's utterly foolish, she'll never be a part of it willingly." Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might burst from her chest.
Every drop of blood in her body was boiling. At this moment, she wanted nothing more than to spit out the harshest insults and deliver abrutal blow to this family.
"If not for my son, she wouldn't even have a baby! Since the baby has already been born, he belongs to the Jewell family!" Florence could no longer hold back.

Mrs. Jewell, is taking things by force just a habit of yours?" Angela smirked. First, it was seizing assets that don't belong to you, and now you're trying to take someone's baby. What won't you do? Why don't you ask the baby if he even wants a grandmother like you?" Her words clearly struck a nerve. Florence trembled with rage.
"Zayn, we'll be taking Mia with us for now. You should calm down, and we'll talk later," Dexter piped up.
As soon as he spoke, the twas left stunned. They wanted to step m forward to stop Mia, but one sharp, chilling look from Dexter made them freeze in place.
Like Angela, Dexter was someone who respected the elderly and cared for the young, but if someone crossed the line, he wasn't afraid to put them in their place. With that, they left, heading straight for Angela's villa.
Mia and Leo were utterly exhausted by then. Once Angela was donem helping them settle in, she went to the living room to keep watch.
