Chapter 500

Mia frowned. “Just what are you trying to imply?”

“If you want to continue being Mrs. Barrett, have it your way. I’ll support you but on one condition.”

Mia raised a brow. “What is it?”

Shelly’s eyes brightened. “Easy. Tell Timothy to unfreeze my credit cards and you have to give me a

credit card with a high credit limit.”

Shelly’s stupidity and greed shocked Mia. She answered in disbelief, “Just who gave you the nerve to

come up to me to make this kind of demand? I’m curious.”

“It’s not that easy to become one of us. I was planning to tell Maya about your pregnancy and your

biological parents, but I kept it a secret for you.”

“Aren’t you getting along well with her? Why the sudden hostility?”

“That’s because she’s too stingy. She wants to become Mrs. Barrett without paying the price she

should!”

Now, Mia finally knew why Shelly turned her back on Maya.

Mia gave it a thought. “Give me some time to think about it. I’ll give you an answer after this.”

“Give it a serious thought. If I’m on your side, you’re halfway there in becoming Mrs. Barrett.” Shelly

walked away like a happy bunny. 1

Mia wore a mocking expression. She would never agree to that condition.

It seemed like Shelly didn’t know that Mia and Timothy were divorced, but that didn’t matter at all.

After the ceremony, and if Mia passed her exams, she would leave Bern City.

When that event came to pass, no one would believe in whatever Shelly said. Even if they do, no one

could pose a threat to Mia anymore because she wouldn’t be in Bern City.

Her hands stroked her belly before she examined the remaining waiting rooms.

When Mia was in the final waiting room, Eva contacted her. “Mia, why didn’t you wear the new dress !

bought you to college?”

“I have some work to do

“I have some work to do. The dress will make it inconvenient.”

“That won’t do. I’ll come to you with your new dress. With the stylist too. Today’s your big day. You have

to doll yourself up!”

“Okay.” Mia couldn’t turn down the offer. After all Eva would bring the dress over anyway.

Terminating the call Mia looked back to find a familiar face at the end of the corridor.

Bewildered, Mia walked up to the person. “Dana, Is that you?”

The woman hiding in the corner slowly walked out, guilt evident in her expression. “Mia.”

Mia didn’t see Dana and couldn’t keep in touch with her the entire time.

Dana’s betrayal pushed her to agony for a few days, but time healed her in the end. Mia simply

concluded that Dana couldn’t resist the monetary offer from Maya.

Dana walked up to Mia and begged, “Mia, I was wrong. I’m so sorry. I hope you can help me talk to the

school management. Ask them not to expel me. Please.”

That request put Mia in a tough spot. “I don’t have the call for that.”

“Mia, are you really going to drive me insane?”

Mia pursed her lips. “Dana, I didn’t force you to do anything. But should you be responsible for the

wrong

deeds you’ve done?” She left after saying that.

Dana stood there with a stormy expression. “If you say so. Don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”
