Mia remained unfazed. Did Shelly assume she was still the same easy target as before?

Grabbing Shelly’s hand, Mia effortlessly executed a shoulder throw, sending her sprawling to the

ground.

Wearing a tight skirt, Shelly unexpectedly found herself in a compromising position, inadvertently

exposing the color of her underwear for all to see.

With a disapproving click of her tongue, Mia commented, “Are you not wearing safety shorts? It seems

you’ve opted for a thong instead. Ms. Barrett certainly knows how to have fun.”

Shelly let out a scream, threatening. “Mia, I’m going to kill you!”

Witnessing the situation escalate, Maya quickly turned to Blake, instructing. “Swiftly clear the area

and instruct anyone unrelated to leave immediately. Also, make sure to check their phones.”

Given that Maya was engaged to Timothy, Shelly’s behavior could potentially impact Maya’s

reputation. Any embarrassment on Shelly’s part would have repercussions on Maya’s social

standing.

On the sidelines, Felix seemed eager to intervene, but the black–clad bodyguards promptly

escorted him out, denying him any opportunity to speak.

Felix stood outside, a sense of regret washing over him. He should have greeted Mia earlier.

A colleague from the studio whispered, “Mr. Quilter, Mia was quite fierce just now, daring to lay hands

on Ms. Barrett. Doesn’t she fear the consequences?”

Felix, too, was taken aback earlier and hesitated to intervene.

However, considering that Mia’s brothers had connections with the Lane family, Felix deduced that it

might simply be an internal matter among affluent families. Thus, he felt no need for

concern.

From another perspective, it also indicated that Mia’s family background was even more intricate

than he had initially thought.

How else could she muster the audacity to confront Maya and Shelly in such a manner?

At this moment, only a few people remained at the engagement venue.

Mia had initially intended to capture a few photos with her phone, only to recall that her phone was

already broken, forcing her to abandon the idea.

As Shelly got up from the floor, she glared at Mia and loudly demanded, “Maya, instruct your

bodyguards to apprehend Mia. I must teach her a lesson today!”

Maya feigned concern and responded, “Ms. Bowen, considering you initiated the physical altercation,

an apology is in order.

Otherwise, this matter won’t be as simple as it seems. Ms. Barrett is quite upset now!”

Mia turned to Shelly, asserting. “Have you forgotten what I hold in my hands? Do you dare lay a finger

on me?”

Shelly suddenly regained composure, though her frustration was palpable. “Mia, you’re truly

despicable!”

“Oh, you’re too kind. After all, I’ve just been learning from the best, haven’t I?”

With a sense of satisfaction, Mia observed Shelly’s frustrated yet controlled expression.

Sharon snorted, “If she won’t lay a hand on you, count me in! Do you have any leverage against me?”

Shelly’s eyes lit up. “Right! If we can strip Mia naked today and take some compromising photos, this

bitch won’t be able to threaten me anymore!”

Mia observed the approaching bodyguards, and a flicker of wariness crossed her eyes.

She sought an opportunity to escape, well aware that Felix was still outside. Once she reached the

studio area, she could find safety.

“Stop!”

A cold and authoritative voice cut through the tension.

Timothy emerged from the sidelines, his strides exuding confidence and power, while his narrow eyes

conveyed a profound depth.

Mia looked up, meeting Timothy’s gaze. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was concealed

in the depths of his eyes, though she couldn’t quite decipher what it might be.

Their eyes met for a moment before she swiftly averted her gaze.

Spotting Timothy, Maya was elated and hurried over, linking her arm with his. “Tim, I thought you had

urgent matters to attend to. Is everything sorted out at work?”
