Chapter 217

Mia was slightly stunned. She glanced down at her phone. It was Timothy.

Her head shot back up as she replied gracefully, “Oh, don’t bother. It’s a scam call.”

Dominic frowned as he asked, “Who’s harassing you?”

Could it be Timothy, that old and divorced prick?

Mia pursed her lips before coming up with something plausible, “Um, I have been receiving calls about

whether I’d fancy a renovation, since I just bought my house not long ago.”

Dominic nodded. So, this was the truth.

As he stared at Mia, he said, “Mia, you must let me know if anyone’s bullying you.”

“I know.”

Mia muted her phone and made her way to the kitchen. She didn’t pay any attention to her phone at all.

Meanwhile, Timothy’s gaze was fixated on the phone. How dare Mia not pick up his calls?

Didn’t she sound so confident when she texted him earlier?

He massaged his temples as he read her message again. He gave Shelly a call.

She answered the call after a while.

In a cautious manner, Shelly asked, “Timothy? What’s the matter?”

Timothy snapped, “Shelly, is terminating your credit card far from enough? If it weren’t for your mom

who came crying at my knees, you would’ve already been brought away by the cops for investigation.”

Shelly stuttered, “Timothy, I’ve been behaving lately. I didn’t do anything.”

“Do you think I wasn’t well–informed, Shelly?”

Her whole body was quivering on the other end of the phone.

“Timothy, she’s just lucky to have her house demolished. But that house doesn’t even belong to her! It’s

her adoptive parents‘. I have nothing to do with them taking back the house,” Shelly was quick to

defend herself,

although her voice was tinged with fear.

Shelly felt totally justified. Moreover, Wilhelmina, Bob and Mary would be held responsible for what they

had

done. She didn’t have anything to do with them.

Timothy’s expression darkened as he ordered, “Apologize to Mia now until she forgives you.”

“I don’t want that! Why should I apologize when I’ve done nothing wrong? Timothy, you’re still so biased

even

though you’re going to divorce Mia soon. Or did you actually fall in love with her?”

In a cold tone, he replied, “Be prepared to bear your consequences if you don’t apologize.”

“I’m not going to! You’ll have to kill me for that!” Shelly snapped.

Timothy’s expression was stoic as he hung up.

He glanced over at Walter as he instructed, “Investigate the demolition issue on the previous residential

area

Mia resided in. Make an appointment with George. I need to talk to him.”

Walter nodded. After he left, Timothy took his phone out. It suddenly dawned on him that Mia had

blocked him

last time.

Their last conversation came to a stop at the payment of a hundred thousand dollars, and there was a

clear indication that his message wasn’t successfully sent.

Finally, Timothy texted, “I have nothing to do with what Shelly did.”

He thought Shelly deserved to be taught a lesson since she was so stubborn.

Mia had just returned to her room after a meal. She took out her phone, and a smirk crept onto her face

when she saw Timothy’s reply.

So, this was his response.

Mia took out her computer, and found a video from the pendrive. Without skipping a beat, she

forwarded the video to a renowned tabloid news outlet.

“Do you dare to accept this video of a daughter from a prestigious family having some sort of fun in a

large group?”

Right after she sent a screenshot of the video, the news outlet responded quickly.

“Sure, why not?”

Mia sent the video. Since Shelly had been painstakingly trying to scheme her, she would no longer hold

back. After all, she was married to Timothy for three years, and she was well aware of the ordeals that

happened in her family, including Shelly’s. She was nothing more than a fool who loved getting herself

in trouble.

Mia used to deal with the consequences of Shelly’s actions in the past. She only did so upon the

request of Shelly’s mother.
