    "Now, I''m stuck with a measly monthly allowance of fifty thousand dors, which is nowhere near enough for my expenses.


    "Come with me to rify things with Timothy. The whole Wilhelmina

    As Mia observed Shelly''s irritable demeanor, she couldn''t help but reflect on thevish lifestyle Shelly had once led.


    ustomed to a life of extravagance and consistently indulging in opulence, the unexpected freeze of her credit card was undoubtedly distressing for Shelly.


    Nheless, Timothy''s strategy had proven remarkably effective.


    Maintaining her indifference, Mia casually remarked, "Well, it''s not like I''m the one who cut off your credit card. So, this is none of my business.


    "Besides, Wilhelmina openly confessed that this incident is linked to you. Are you trying to im innocence?" "It had nothing to do with me in the first ce. You simply have too many enemies, and Wilhelmina targeted you out of personal animosity. How does | that implicate me?" Certainly, Shelly wasn''t going to admit any involvement in the matter.

    However, Shelly seized her,


    | questioning, "Where do you think you''re going? Aren''t those your adoptive parents? Why hide? Talking to them might be a good idea, don''t you think?" "Shelly, let go of me!" Mia yelled.


    "You want me to let go? Fine, but you have to get in the car ande with me to meet Timothy." Observing Bob and Mary approaching, Mia acted without hesitation, jumping into Shelly''s car.


    Compared to confronting Timothy, she was even more averse to getting entangled with her adoptive parents at that moment.


    Shelly promptly sped away, leaving Bob and Mary trailing behind in the distance.

    It''s crucial to have Timothy reinstate my credit card limit immediately."


    "Do you honestly think Timothy is gullible? If he didn''t uncover any wrongdoing, how could he have decided to block your credit card?"


    Upon hearing this, Shelly''s frustration grew. "Mia, are you unwilling to rify matters with Timothy? If so, I''ll take you back immediately!" Deep down, Mia harbored an intense desire to unleash a torrent of profanities.
