Mia’s words struck a nerve, hitting Maya’s sore spot directly.

Frustrated, Maya raised her hand. “Mia, who do you think you are, labeling me as a mistress? Just

so you know, my brother is also in this hospital. I assure you, you’ll regret making such

accusations!

“I’ve come across countless ill–mannered individuals like yourself. It’s ironic how you and Aunt Patricia

share the same despicable traits.”

Without hesitation, Mia firmly grasped Maya’s hand and swiftly delivered a resounding slap in

return.

Mia’s gaze turned icy as she retorted, “Maya, you can say whatever you want about me, but mind your

words. If I catch you insulting Aunt Patricia again, I swear you’ll regret it.”

Despite Patricia having a timid personality and her share of flaws, she was the one who raised Mia,

and Mia wouldn’t tolerate anyone speaking ill of her.

Maya stared at Mia in disbelief. “How dare you hit me?”

“I’ll strike you whenever I please.”

Mia’s attitude took a fierce turn. She effortlessly reached for a fruit knife nearby, cautioning. “My temper

isn’t great right now, so you better not provoke me.”

“Mia, what do you think you’re doing? I’m the young lady of the Lane family! If you lay a finger on me,

you won’t leave unscathed,” Maya warned.

Raising an eyebrow, Mia retorted, “So what? There are no surveillance cameras in this room. Besides,

I am still legally Mrs. Barrett. This is Bern City, not Nord City. What can you do to me here?”

Maya was infuriated, trembling with anger. “Mia, you’re insane, completely insane! Let me tell you, my

brother’s company is handling the redevelopment in your old neighborhood.

“Whether you believe it or not, with just one call from me, your family’s property will be as good as

gone.”

Mia remained composed, saying, “Oh, if it can’t be redeveloped, then so be it. It’s no big deal. After all,

I’m not lacking money at the moment.”

Maya was taken aback by Mia’s composed demeanor, displaying none of the reactions she had

anticipated.

Wasn’t Mia, coming from a less affluent background, supposed to be desperate for the redevelopment

project?

Casually waving the fruit knife in her hand, Mia’s gaze remained indifferent. “Regardless, I’m already in

a tough situation, so I’m not afraid of facing more challenges.”

Frightened, Maya quickly fled the room, and soon, the hospital room returned to tranquility.

Mia couldn’t help but chuckle; indeed, things began to align in her favor when she embraced a bit

of eccentricity.

Outside, Maya rushed to Connor’s office, her face visibly marked from the encounter. “Connor, I’ve

been bullied!” she declared.

Upon returning from his rounds, Connor observed the slap mark on Maya’s face. “Who dared to hit

you?” he inquired with a frown.

Maya, who had always been resilient since childhood, now tearfully implored, “Connor, you have

to help me. That woman had the nerve to hit me. It’s evident she holds no respect for our family!”

Maintaining his composure, Connor replied. “Maya, there’s no need to resort to these excuses to

provoke me. It won’t make a difference.

“Back when we were kids, you exploited our family’s influence for all sorts of bullying, and you’re

well aware of that. Why bring up grievances now that we’re adults?”

“Connor, this situation is different. The one who assaulted me is Timothy’s former wife! Given that

we’re in Bern City, how could I have possibly provoked her?” Maya clarified.

Upon hearing this revelation, Connor expressed his surprise. “Timothy’s ex–wife hit you? Why?”

“She accused me of being a mistress.”

“Well, technically, she’s not entirely wrong. I’ve heard that Timothy hasn’t finalized his divorce yet. And

here you are, already engaged to him–doesn’t that resemble the actions of a mistress?”



Maya hesitated for a moment before reluctantly admitting. “Connor, the engagement was called off

because of you!”
