Janice caught sight of the sports car and her jaws dropped in disbelief. Was this man really that


    wealthy?


    Still resistant, she persisted, “Mia Bowen, he’s just leading you on. Only my son will offer you


    marriage.”


    Mia chuckled. “Is marriage supposed to be some sacred blessing? As if I care.”


    Leaning against the sports car, ude approached and nced at Janice. She appeared


    intimidated. “What do you want?”


    “If you dare to bother Mia again, I’ll make sure your son rots in jail forever,” ude warned, his voice


    dripping with menace.


    Janice felt threatened. It wasn’t until ude drove that she realized he was most likely involved in


    her son’s arrest.


    Unfortunately, the sports car had already driven away.


    Janice slumped to the ground. She was suddenly filled with regret. If only she hadn’t crossed Mia.


    What was she going to do now that her son was behind bars?


    Meanwhile, Mia left the school with ude.


    She was taken aback by Felix’s arrest. She texted her former colleagues to inquire about the


    situation and learned something unexpected.


    One of the replies wrote: “I heard Mr. Quilter got arrested for some financial crimes. Seems like he


    cooked up some names to cheat money from the school and funneled investor funds into his own


    pockets to buy houses for himself.”


    Another texted: “Now that Mr. Quilter’s shady dealings are out, he’s been arrested. He might be looking


    at a few years if he can’t cough up the cash to cover the losses. It’s outrageous. Good


    thing you left when you did.” (1)


    After reading her colleagues‘ gripes, Mia got a rough idea of why Felix got arrested. But she never


    expected Felix to be this shady behind the scenes. She never noticed it before.


    Well, now she realized Felix wasn’t a good person.


    Initially, she didn’t press Janice for charges. But Felix was now reaping what he sowed. Indeed, karma


    had caught up with him.


    Beside her, ude hesitated. “Mia, was that olddy Felix’s mother?”


    “Yes. Felix was arrested, and it’s not looking good for him.” Mia sighed.


    “Mia, are you worried about him?” ude asked.


    Mia raised an eyebrow. “Why would I worry about a lowlife like Felix? He brought this onto himself.


    ”


    ude breathed a sigh of relief.


    He cautiously probed, “Mia, don’t overthink it. But I think I heard that olddy mention your


    divorce. I’m not sure if I misheard.”


    Mia paused. “So you heard.”


    “Maybe I misheard,” ude reasoned.


    “No, ude, you heard right. I got a divorce.” Mia didn’t bother hiding it anymore. After all, her brothers


    would find out eventually.


    ude’s expression shifted at this, and he immediately parked the car on the side of the road. He


    turned to her. “Mia, are you serious? Who’s the guy?”


    How dare he demand a divorce? It was a blessing to marry Mia! Yet that bastard didn’t cherish it!


    Mia pursed her lips. “ude, it doesn’t matter who he is. Anyway, I’m done with him.”


    “Don’t worry, Mia. I got your back. You used to be on your own, but now you’ve got us. Who’s your ex–


    husband? How dare he divorce you!”


    Mia fell silent for a moment. “I’m the one who wanted the divorce.”This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
