Chapter 786

Mia was sharply stung by Timothy’s remark.

She scoffed, saying, “Even your mother considers Ginger a burden. Besides, don’t you have a son

named Asher? Why are you so fixated on Ginger?”

“I’ve told you before, Asher isn’t my son!”

“If he’s not your son, then whose child is he? Timothy, you’re truly despicable!”

As Mia tried to leave, Timothy pulled her into an embrace. He lowered his head and whispered

hoarsely, “It seems like this matters to you after all. Could it be that you’re jealous?”

Mia was utterly furious. She forcefully stomped on Timothy’s foot and then swiftly turned, aiming a kick

toward his groin. “So, you think you’re a player, huh? Let’s see if you’ve got what it takes!”

Timothy let out a grunt, his muscles tensing, while beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

He glared at Mia as she backed away, gritting his teeth. “Stop right there!”

Nonetheless, Mia had no intention of staying. She proceeded directly to the elevator, determined to

leave the hospital.

Upon reaching the hospital’s exit, she was confronted by a red sports car parked right in front of her.

Mia narrowed her eyes, finding the sports car oddly familiar.

Suddenly, Shelly stormed out of the vehicle. “You bitch! How dare you trick me with counterfeit goods!”

“Damn, you caught on quickly. I guess your brain isn’t totally useless after all,” Mia remarked

sarcastically.

With Timothy’s bone marrow sample already sent away, Mia no longer needed to maintain the facade

in front of Shelly. She had nothing left to fear at this point.

Shelly’s expression contorted with anger. She hadn’t expected Monalize to admit so readily.

Throughout the journey, Shelly had harbored doubts, pondering whether Monalize, too, had fallen prey

to someone else’s deceit.

Enraged, Shelly hurled the replica handbag she had been holding to the ground. “We have no

grievances between us, so why resort to using these counterfeit goods to deceive me? Do you not

have any shame?”

Mia remained composed as she responded, “We’re not exactly close, so it’s surprising that you

shamelessly turn to me every time you want something.

“The total value of these luxury items amounts to millions of dollars. Since you boldly demanded them, I

had to resort to such measures to minimize my losses.”

“Who would have imagined that the heiress of the Barrett family would be in such dire financial straits?”

At that moment, Luna emerged from the passenger seat and walked up to Shelly. “Shelly, it seems

she’s been deliberately cozying up to you with an agenda from the beginning. Do you finally see her

true colors?”

Upon Luna’s arrival, Mia finally realized how someone as gullible as Shelly could quickly identify the

high–quality counterfeits.

Shelly was boiling with rage. She had become the subject of ridicule for flaunting fake goods, and

numerous people were demanding refunds. Some even threatened to take legal action against her if

she failed to comply.

Glaring at Mia, Shelly exclaimed, “Don’t think for a second that this is over. I’ve already sold half of

those counterfeit items you gave me, and now these people are all demanding refunds. You better

cough up the money!”

Mia retorted with a mocking expression, “Did I personally take the money you earned from selling those

bags?”

Shelly became somewhat defensive. “Why does it matter if I was the one who collected it? It’s all gone

now anyway. If it weren’t for you giving me counterfeit goods, I wouldn’t be getting chased for refunds

now.”

“That’s your problem since you collected the money,” Mia retorted.

“If you don’t compensate me, I’ll sue you for selling counterfeit goods!”

Mia smirked in response. “I gave them to you, but I didn’t tell you to sell them. If you’re not satisfied,

feel free to find a lawyer and sue me whenever you like.”

Enraged, Shelly snapped, “Hold on a minute! Who said you could leave? If you don’t explain yourself

now, don’t even think about walking away!”

Mia’s gaze turned icy as she looked at the two bodyguards standing before her. She gazed at Shelly

and asked, “Are you serious?”

Without hesitation, she raised her hand, summoning a group of bodyguards to surround

them.

The imposing bodyguards encircled Shelly and Luna.
