Chapter 169

Mia let out a faint sigh. “No, Linden simply did me a favor, that’s all,” she murmured.

Indeed, the ambiguous announcement from Linden worked like a charm.

Felix’s eyes carried a discerning gaze. “Mia, I never thought you’d be acquainted with Linden!” he

exclaimed.

Mia shot a glance at Wilhelmina, who wore a displeased expression.

“Honestly, having Linden’s assistance doesn’t hold much significance, you know,” Mia remarked with a

touch

of sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, Wilhelmina couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.

After all, she was no less accomplished than Mia, so why did Mia seem to have such great

connections, even rubbing shoulders with the renowned Linden Lane?

Mia checked the time, noting that their guests should be arriving soon.

Offering a strained smile to Wilhelmina, Mia assured, “Felix, don’t worry. I’ll explain everything later.”

“Mia, if you have evidence. Just present it,” Felix suggested, his tone tinged with suspicion.

“It’s not the right time yet.”

Wilhelmina scoffed coldly, “Mia, you keep insisting you have evidence, yet you’re withholding it. Who

would believe your words? Linden is just an actor, after all.

“In the chaotic entertainment industry, he probably slept with countless wealthy ladies and old men to

attain his current position. Just because Linden supports you doesn’t mean you can clear your name.”

“Wilhelmina, your breath stinks. Did you forget to brush your teeth this morning? Linden has come this

far based on his talent.

“You’re just spreading baseless rumors. Didn’t your mother teach you any decency?” Mia retorted.

She wasn’t going to tolerate anyone tarnishing Linden’s reputation. After all, Liam served as Linden’s

stunt double, and both of them had invested significant effort over the years.

Raising her voice, Wilhelmina shot back, “Oh, getting defensive, aren’t you? Could it be that I’ve hit a

nerve?”

Mia took a deep breath. Suddenly, she felt that certain individuals didn’t deserve any sympathy at all.

As a fellow woman, Mia had extended multiple chances for Wilhelmina to come clean and be open

about the situation.

Nevertheless, with this impending evidence about to circulate on the internet, Wilhelmina might as well

wave goodbye to her reputation for the rest of her life.

Indeed, some individuals simply didn’t deserve a chance, and Wilhelmina served as a prime example

of such a malicious woman.

Turning to Felix, Mia declared, “Felix, I think you’re right. I’ll upload the evidence online right now, and

that

should bring the truth to light.”

Felix nodded in agreement. “Sounds like a good idea.”

Putting on a show of confidence, Wilhelmina challenged, “Go ahead, upload it. Let’s all take a look.”

Deep down, Wilhelmina was convinced that Mia was fabricating lies. If there were evidence, Mia would

have

presented it long ago.

How could Mia remain so composed and wait until now? Wilhelmina was certain Mia was attempting to

deceive her, but she wouldn’t be fooled!

At that very moment, several imposing figures stormed into the studio.

The woman at the forefront of the group appeared oddly familiar–indeed, it was Fiona, the daughter of

Keegan.

who had visited earlier.

Wilhelmina couldn’t help but chuckle, her face adorned with a smug expression. “Mia, it looks like

someone’s

here to see you..

or to avoid any

“You did claim to have evidence, right? I’d suggest clearing things up sooner rather than later to

unnecessary trouble.”

Mia’s lips curled into a cold smirk as she retorted, “Oh, is that how you see it? I believe the one who

needs to

explain might not be me after all.”

“Not you? Who else could it be? Of course, it’s you!” Wilhelmina fixed her gaze on the advancing

Fiona, a

momentary flicker of unease passing across her expression.

Nevertheless. Wilhelmina swiftly regained her composure, confident that Fiona held Mia responsible for

the

situation.

With a triumphant air, she addressed Fiona, saying, “Just moments ago, Mia was boasting about

having evidence to prove her innocence.”

Before she could savor her words, Fiona abruptly delivered a resounding slap to Wilhelmina’s face.

Stunned, Wilhelmina stammered, “W–Why did you hit me?”
