    uttered, she tapped Luna’s cheek.


    Luna was left reeling, her eyes widening in disbelief at having been struck.


    After releasing Luna, Mia turned and entered the elevator. She red coldly at the trio outside the


    elevator, her fiery red lips andmanding presence radiating an air of dominance.


    Outside the elevator, Luna cradled her cheek, casting a pitiful look at Timothy. “Tim, I just wanted to


    intervene so you could speak with her. I didn’t mean anything else.”


    However, Timothy remained unfazed, disregarding Luna’s words as he simply gazed nkly at Mia


    inside the elevator.


    After four years, she appeared to have undergone significant changes.”


    As the elevator doors closed, Caleb voiced his surprise, “Tim, are you positive she’s Mia? Although


    there’s a simrity in facial features, her personality ispletely different.”


    Shee


    even acted assertively and pped Tim twice!


    The old Mia wouldn’t have dared to behave in such a manner, would she?


    Timothy stole a nce at his palm, contemting the beauty mark at the corner of her eye. “I’m not


    entirely sure.”


    He then turned to Heath and instructed, “Assign someone to investigate her identity.”


    Standing nearby, Luna looked distressed as she covered her face. “Tim, whether she’s Mia or not, this


    is too harsh. I just wanted her to exin.”


    Timothy’s voice remained calm as he cautioned, “You better not cause trouble. This is Xanier Ind,


    not


    Bern City.”


    Luna’s eyes welled up with tears as she watched Timothy’s retreating figure, feeling deeply hurt.


    Caleb observed her andmented, “That’s just Tim’s temperament. Men can act strangely when their


    spouses are no longer here. Luna, have you booked a hotel room?”


    “Not ve

    Ubunk with Tim.”


    Caleb suggested. “You can stay in my room. I’ll bunk


    Luna bowed her head and walked alongside Caleb, still feeling the sting of the p. A sense of


    resentment brewed inside her.


    If it was truly Mia, Luna wouldn’t have any issue dealing with her again!


    Stepping out of the elevator, Mia’s mood soured.


    She hade to attend the auction but unexpectedly encountered a man hitting on her in the lobby.


    gripping her wrist so tightly it turned red.


    Mia was unimpressed. “Go find out more about that man,” she instructed.


    Wade Miller, Mia’s butler, tentatively spoke up, “Ms. Mia, why do you want to investigate him?”


    Had Mia recalled something?


    If his memory served him right, the man he just saw was Timothy!


    Mia felt somewhat annoyed. “It’s obviously about getting even with them, especially Luna, whom I can’t


    stand. Plus, it’s boring being cooped up indoors on Xanier Ind when it’s raining. I might as well have


    some fun.”


    Wade quietly sighed to himself, but Dominic had been clear. Mia must not have any contact with the


    Barretts!


    At that moment, Mia received a call from home. With a smile, she answered, “Hey, Eva, what’s up?”


    you arrived at Xanier Ind? There’s something I need to tell you, but please, don’t panic.


    “Mia, have you


    “I just got to the hotel on Xanier Ind. Eva, why are you being so secretive? What’s going on?”


    Eva took a deep breath. “Mia, Ginger is missing.”
