Chapter 395

Mia froze when she heard that Felix had been arrested. “What do you mean?”

“Mia, you’re the only one who can help me now. Since my son got arrested, none of the studio staff

have been showing up for work. Some even demanded their salaries from me. Where am I supposed

to get the money? My son trusted you the most. He always said you were the most talented. If you

return to support my son’s company, there’s still hope to salvage it,” Janice

begged.

Mia finally understood why Janice had come to her with such humility. She was waiting for her

here.

Mia remained indifferent. “Sorry, I’ve already resigned. I won’t go back to work.”

“Mia, I know you and my son used to be close. I was the one who ruined your relationship. I’m sorry.

Now that my son is in trouble, you’re the only one I can turn to. As long as you help my son through this

rough patch and get him out, I won’t stop you two from being together,” Janice

pleaded again.

Mia was confused. “Are you and your son incapable of understanding human language? I’ve never

liked Felix. He’s the one pestering me. I will never be with him. Got it?”

Mia prepared to leave, not wanting to waste any more time on Janice.

“Is it because of my son’s current situation that you want to dump him? You’re a divorced woman! Who

are you to look down on my son?”

Janice grew angry and embarrassed.

Mia’s expression remained cold. “I’d rather be single than be with Felix.”

“Mia Bowen, drop the act. You came to the hospital to take care of, my son when he was injured last

time. My son is just facing a temporary setback. He’ll soon be back on his feet. My son has connections

with many wealthy and influential people. You’ll learn to regret it then.” Janice stomped her foot.

Mia raised an eyebrow. “Really? I’ll be waiting for that day.”

“Mia Bowen, no wonder you got divorced! You’re such a materialistic woman! Who can possibly

tolerate you? I’m telling you now, no man will want a woman like you even after your divorce. Do you

really think you’re a catch? There won’t be another man as foolishly good to you as my son,”

Janice shrieked.

Before Mia could retort, a hand landed on her shoulder and Claude chimed in, “Sorry, but I’m afraid

you’ll be disappointed. I’m her suitor. Even if she’s well past her age, she’ll still have someone

interested in her!”

Mia knew Claude was trying to stand up for her, so she remained silent. After all, Janice’s words

were making her sick.

When Janice saw Claude’s handsome face, she choked. “Where did this bitch boy come from?”

Claude answered with a smirk, “From Nord City. I’m rich too. My net worth puts that mama’s boy

to shame.”

“Liar. I think you’re just a gigolo. How could a woman like Mia find a wealthy man? She’s an

orphan! Her family is very poor,” Janice retorted.

Claude’s expression turned cold. He raised his hand to reveal his branded watch and glanced at Mia.

“Let’s go. I got a new sports car today. Do you like it?”

Mia understood Claude’s intention and played along, “Is it a gift for me?”

“Yes, I’ll even pluck the stars from the sky for you if you ask me to.” Claude winked at her.

Mia followed Claude outside the school. Sure enough, there was a sleek sports car parked by the

road.
