Chapter 409

As Mia made the emergency call, she kept her gaze fixed on Maya and Shelly.

With a smug expression, Shelly remarked, “What’s the point of calling the police? Do you want to

expose your shady dealings with Mr. Jenkin to everyone?”

Maya’s expression grew uneasy. She hadn’t expected Mia to actually call the police!

Mia smirked. “You both witnessed it, right? You need to provide evidence to the police. Otherwise, how

do we expect to apprehend Anthony?”

Maya quickly caught on and exclaimed, “Must you involve the police in every minor issue? Will this

cycle

ever end?”

“Why would I refrain from contacting the authorities? Especially since I have no recollection of the

events. you’re accusing me of.”

“If Shelly indeed has a friend who claims to have witnessed me entering the hotel, then it’s apparent I

was drugged and transported there involuntarily.

“Whoever is responsible for this will undoubtedly face consequences.”

Upon hearing this, even Shelly, despite her usual obliviousness, grasped the situation.

Shelly’s claims about her friend witnessing Mia with Anthony at the hotel were false, simply intended to

tarnish Mia’s reputation.

However, with Mia now involving the police, the truth would inevitably surface if the matter were to be

investigated.

Mia’s lips twisted into a cold smirk. “Once Mr. Jenkin arrives, we can confront him directly.”

Shelly felt her anxiety rising. What should she do now?

Maya frowned, realizing the situation was spiraling out of control. How could Shelly, in her foolishness,

grant Mia such leverage?

Should this situation escalate, it could potentially harm Maya’s standing with Anthony. In such a

scenario, how could Maya expect Anthony to assist her in causing trouble for Mia

Contemplating the situation, Maya shot Shelly a look and advised, “Shelly, you need to provide a clear

explanation. Fabricating accusations without evidence won’t help.”

Shelly hesitated; after all, her previous statements were solely aimed at undermining Mia.

Lowering her voice, Maya cautioned, “If Mr. Jenkin discovers the falsehood of your claims, you might

miss out on the chance to meet those renowned pianists. It’s better not to let this situation escalate.”

Shelly comprehended her dilemma and reluctantly turned to Mia. “I just remembered, I only heard

about it: I didn’t actually see you entering the hotel with Mr. Jenkin.”

“Then you should convey that to the police,” Mia responded indifferently, showing no interest in

engaging further with Maya and Shelly.

As Mia turned to resume her work on the hall decorations, Maya’s voice caught her attention from

behind.

“Mia, Shelly was simply joking earlier. There’s no need to escalate things by involving the police.

“If they intervene and the paparazzi catch wind of it, it could harm both the university and the Music

School.”

Even though Maya was hesitant to let Mia gloat, involving the police in this matter was simply not an

option.

Mia responded with a smirk. “You claim it’s all just a joke, but you’re not the one facing these false

accusations. It’s easy for you to brush it off.”

“What do you want then?” Maya asked through gritted teeth.

Mia glanced at Shelly and commented, “Obviously, the person who spread the rumors should be the

one to offer an apology.”

“I’m not going to apologize.” Shelly almost immediately refused. She wasn’t about to apologize to Mia.

Although she was reluctant, Maya calmly approached Shelly and whispered. “Shelly, remember, the

Music School belongs to Claude.

*If this situation escalates and my brothers become aware of it, it will certainly reflect poorly on you.

How do you intend to marry into the Lane family under such circumstances?”
