Chapter 726

Shelly suddenly exclaimed, “She has a daughter?”

“Shelly, weren’t you aware? It appears that Ms. Monalize has intentionally kept this information from

you.”

Mia responded with a smirk, “I haven’t hidden this fact. Besides, as long as Timothy is aware that I

have a daughter, why does it matter if others are informed or not?”

While Shelly was taken aback, she also found Mia’s words logical. “Exactly, as long as Tim is fine with

it, who cares what others think?”

Nevertheless, she was quite surprised to learn that Monalize had a daughter!

Sharon immediately shot a glare at Shelly, saying, “You don’t grasp the situation at all. Our family won’t

accept someone with such baggage. Certain women should simply abandon their hopes. Luna, let’s

go!”

With that, Sharon stormed off in frustration, unwilling to utter another

.d.

Luna wore a smug expression as she addressed Mia, “Ms. Monalize, your impulsive reaction just now

wasn’t wise. Offending Mrs. Barrett won’t work in your favor.”

“Hmph, I’ve never stooped to groveling for favors. After all, you’ve been groveling for four years and still

haven’t gained any status, have you?” Mia snapped back.

Luna’s expression turned dark instantly. She turned to Shelly and advised, ” Shelly, as part of the

Barrett family, it’s best to maintain your distance from her. Provoking Mrs. Barrett won’t be

advantageous for you.”

Shelly grew even more incensed. Why was all the blame being shifted onto her in the end?

Mla deliberately Interjected, “Shelly, they’ve crossed a line. Considering you’re also an heiress of the

Barrett family, who does Luna think she is to speak to you like that?”

“I know right? What worth does Luna have anyway? She’s only accepted in the Barrett family because

of the child she’s carrying. Who’s to say if that child even belongs to Tim?”

As Shelly’s anger intensified, she expressed, “Luna used to be overly

friendly with me, but now that Aunt Sharon has sent two nannies to care for Asher, this despicable

woman has become arrogant and finally shown her true colors!

“I wonder if she had a hand in my grandmother’s fall. I just haven’t caught her red–handed yet.”

Mia’s eyes gleamed with interest upon hearing this. She inquired in a hushed tone, “What exactly

transpired back then?”

“At that time, my grandmother hosted a banquet, but later she was found to have fallen down the stairs.

The maids accused Mia, and the surveillance

age inexplicably vanished.

“When Tim suggested that the footage could be recovered, Luna suddenly appeared with the alleged

perpetrator.

“Further investigations revealed that this individual had infiltrated the Barrett family with the intention of

framing Mia, which ultimately led to my grandmother’s accident.”

“Didn’t anyone suspect that the alleged culprit was a decoy?” Mia asked.

“Well, the alleged perpetrator had a genuine grudge against Mia and confessed to everything.

However, I always found it too coincidental for Luna to apprehend the perpetrator, especially

considering Mia’s severe. injuries at the time.

“Something didn’t quite add up. After Mia was rushed to the hospital, it was

passed away due to childbirth complications.

“In the end, Laina seemed to be the only one who benefitted from the

situation.

Upon hearing the narrative, Mia sensed a connection to the events from the past, and everything

appeared to align.

During that time, she had endured a head injury resulting in a complicated childbirth, after which she

was escorted back to Nord City by her brothers.

Subconsciously, Mia grazed the scar at the back of her head. Suddenly, a fragment of memory flashed

through her mind, but despite her efforts to recall the details, the memory remained elusive.

In that brief scene, she appeared to be grasping a woman’s ankle.
