Chapter 410
Upon hearing this. Shelly was furious.
She couldn’t let Mia jeopardize her chances of marrying into the esteemed Lane family.
Shelly approached Mia and said through gritted teeth, “I’m sorry for what I said earlier. It was just
nonsensical talk. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Mia scrutinized Shelly for a moment before speaking. “You’re fully aware that this is all baseless, yet
you speak with such conviction. As a woman, how can you be so malicious?”
Shelly suppressed her frustration, recognizing the need to control her emotions for the time being. She
couldn’t afford to let Mia escalate the situation.
Maya quickly interjected, “Mia, Shelly has apologized. You should call the police and explain that it was
all just a misunderstanding.”
Mia remained unfazed. “I’ll speak with the police when they arrive. But before that, Shelly, I need your
help with something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt*Please arrange the setup in the hall. Otherwise, your apology won’t come across as sincere.”
Shelly couldn’t hold back and snapped, “Who do you think you are, telling me what to do?”
Maya
quickly stepped in and restrained her.
In the end, Shelly had no choice but to lower her head and ask, “What do you need me to do?”
“It’s simple.” Mia replied. “Just help me move all these string lights from the first floor to the second
floor.
Mia gestured toward a bundle of red and white string lights nearby, her hands clasped in front of her.
“Shelly, if you and Maya can manage to carry these lights up there without assistance, I’ll explain
everything to the police when they arrive. Does that sound fair?”
Judging by how they spread rumors recklessly and then just casually apologizing, it seemed like these
offenders never experienced any repercussions for their actions.
Mia wondered why she should accept their apology while still having to deal with the fallout from their
baseless gossip.
Shelly, unaccustomed to manual labor, reluctantly carried the bundle of string lights upstairs.
With each step, she navigated the steep stairs with a begrudging pace, muttering to herself, “It’s so
dirty up there, and these stairs are incredibly steep. I even wore my new heels today.”
Maya watched idly, offering no assistance. “Shelly, take your time. There’s no need to rush.”

Mia grasped Maya and Shelly’s intentions. With a steely expression, she taunted. “If those lights aren’t
relocated before the authorities arrive, I won’t hesitate to speak the truth.”
Shelly’s anxiety surged. “But how am I supposed to get everything moved in time?”
Mia turned away. “That’s your concern. However, if it’s not done by the time I return, it becomes your
problem,”
Mia didn’t have time to negotiate with Maya and Shelly.
Shelly stomped her foot impatiently. “What are we going to do? I can’t possibly move all these lights by
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmyself. Maya, you need to lend a hand.”
Maya, mindful of not wanting to disrupt the upcoming music show over the weekend, gritted her teeth
and reluctantly responded, “Fine. I’ll help you move them.”
Mia stood nearby, covertly observing Maya and Shelly as they removed their high heels and started
relocating the string lights.
Mia couldn’t suppress her laughter as she discreetly pulled out her phone to record the scene. It would
be a shame to miss capturing such a hilarious moment.
Observing Maya and Shelly toil away, Mia’s mood significantly improved.
Once she finished recording the video, Mia resumed decorating the hall. There were still numerous
details that needed to be finalized.
An hour later, Mia returned to the area and discovered Maya and Shelly sitting exhaustedly in their
chairs, their makeup smudged on their faces.
As Mia approached, Maya, gasping for breath, inquired, “What did you tell the police? Why haven’t they
shown up yet?”
Mia blinked innocently and responded, “Oh, that’s because I never actually called the police just now.”
Maya sighed in exasperation. She couldn’t believe she had fallen for Mia’s tricks once again!
