Chapter 275
Upon revealing that, Mia couldn’t help but notice the distinct change in Maya and Shelly’s demeanor,
gradually transforming into expressions of anger.
Unable to contain her frustration, Shelly exclaimed, “Mia, how dare you manipulate us like this?”
Mia responded with a smirk. “Indeed, you two were the unwitting pawns in my game. Is the truth.
too much for you to handle?”
Shelly was on the verge of lashing out physically.
With an air of nonchalance, Mia cautioned, “Consider your actions carefully. There’s a crowd
watching. If you choose to resort to physical aggression, have you thought about how you’ll
explain it?”
“I’ll slap you if I feel like it. I don’t need to explain myself to anyone.”
Nevertheless, Maya stepped in, holding Shelly back. “Let’s go. I have important tasks to handle.
Our time shouldn’t be wasted on this confrontation.”
Mia made a valid point. Considering Shelly’s status as a public figure at this event, an altercation
could tarnish the entire affair.
Maya found dealing with Mia to be challenging. Being with Connor seemed to have fueled Mia’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtarrogance and assertiveness. Well, her triumph won’t be for long.
As Maya and Shelly departed, Mia slowly averted her gaze.
Standing beside her, Gina couldn’t contain her laughter. “Oh my god, Mia, I was genuinely
cracking up back there.
“The expressions on those two troublemakers when you claimed there was no recording were
absolutely priceless.”
Mia’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Being rude seems like an easier way to navigate the world.”
“True,” Gina concurred, “But Mia, what about the woman accompanying Shelly? The one who
seems to radiate an air of hypocrisy?”
“Her name is Maya. She happens to be the sister of the proprietor of Vista Properties.”
Upon hearing this, Gina was momentarily taken aback. She took a moment to absorb the information
before quickly catching on. “You mean the one who was eager to marry your ex- husband?”

“That’s her.”
Mia lowered her gaze. “However, my relationship with Timothy also came to an abrupt end.”
Nevertheless, there lingered an unanswered question in Mia’s mind. Why did Timothy call off his
engagement with Maya?
Wasn’t he apprehensive that Maya’s brother would object to performing Laura’s surgery due to this?
Mia had questioned Timothy about it in the hospital, but their conversation was cut short by the sudden
arrival of her brothers, leaving her without an answer.
“Mia, although you handled that situation gracefully just now, aren’t you concerned about. offending
these two women and potentially facing repercussions in the future?
“I’m genuinely worried about your predicament. Dealing with elite families is no small matter.” Gina
expressed her concern.
“Gigi, even if I chose to remain passive, trouble would still find its way to me.
“Besides, I have plans to reside in Nord City after my graduation. In the future, I’ll have no ties to the
Barrett family.”
Mia had arranged to depart from Bern City to Nord City upon completing her credits, making sure it
matched the time when her growing belly would be difficult to conceal.
Her intention was to give birth in Nord City, a decision made to ensure the secure protection of her
child’s existence.
Upon sharing her plans, Gina embraced her. “Mia, it’s wonderful that you’ll be back in Nord City with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyour family. I’ll make sure to visit you there in the future.”
“Absolutely, you’re welcome anytime.”
Mia briefly contemplated disclosing her pregnancy but ultimately decided to keep it to herself. She
planned to broach the topic after her child was born.
As she sat with Gina, Mia found herself lost in thought, preoccupied with concerns about Laura’s
surgery.
Several hours later, the scholarship foundation establishment ceremony came to a close.
Maya, acting as the representative, delivered a speech, drawing a crowd of people who showered her
with flattery.

Mia didn’t linger. Instead, she turned around and exited the auditorium alongside Gina.
After all, she had attended the event solely to meet the participation requirement for her sociology
credits.
“Mia, wait!”
Shelly quickly caught up, her tone condescending as she remarked, “Why are you leaving so soon?
We’re about to head out for a meal with the university officials. Why don’t you join us?”
