“Well then, do you honestly think you’re a virtuous woman worthy of eptance by the Barrett family?”


    Mia countered.


    Luna was taken aback, her expression souring as she recollected her own upbringing. “At least I’m still


    better than you,” she fired bac


    Mia stood in ce as Wade handed her a clean towel. “Ms. Mia, use this to wipe your face,” he


    suggested. 1


    epting the towel, Mia calmly dabbed the water from her face as she approached Luna.


    Instinctively, Luna took a few steps back. Seeing Mia in her nightgown, Luna couldn’t shake the


    memory of Timothy and Mia’s date at the restaurant, her face contorting with jealousy.


    The mere thought of Timothy and Mia being together in bed drove Luna to madness.


    Nheless, wasn’t Mia supposed to be dead? So why was there another bitch who looked exactly


    like her?


    Stepping in front of Luna, Mia slowly twirled the towel in her hand. “I consider myself a reasonable


    person,” she began. “Since you’ve soaked me from head to toe, why don’t we both enjoy a little water


    fun together?”


    Just then, Mia approached Luna and wrapped the towel around her neck, applying pressure


    with her hands.


    Luna found herself powerless to resist, her face flushing as she clutched the towel tightly, struggling to


    breathe.


    Observing Luna’s distress, memories of Mia’s own tragic past flooded her mind, intensifying her urge to


    kill Luna standing before her.


    Mia couldn’t fathom how she had ended up in such a miserable state all those years ago.


    After some time, Mia nonchntly dropped the limp Luna onto the ground. With a cold tone, she


    instructed Wade, “Take her away.”


    If Mia could endure this affront, she would be the most resilient individual on Earth.


    Gazing down at Luna, Mia continued nonchntly, “Oh, and don’t forget to notify the

    Barretts toe and ransom her.”


    Judging by Luna’s expression, Mia could discern her hypocritical schemes.


    Unfortunately, those tactics wouldn’t work on Mia anymore.


    An hourter, Mia sat on the deck of the cruise ship, listening to the rain pouring relentlessly outside.


    The waves rolled, causing the ship to sway incessantly, making it difficult to even stand upright.


    “Ms. Mia, the Barretts have arrived.”


    Leaning out, Mia caught sight of Timothy and Caleb standing on the dock. Timothy appeared to have


    changed into a white shirt and ck trousers.


    He stood beneath arge ck umbre, his tall and slender frame unmoved by the storm.


    Observing this sight, Mia couldn’t resist expressing her amazement; Timothy was undeniably


    handsome.


    It was no surprise that she had been drawn to him in the past!


    d in a white bathrobe, Mia gestured to Timothy with her finger. “Didn’t you just leave moments ago?


    And now you’re back again. Could it be that you’ve had a change of heart? Unfortunately, there’s no


    remedy for regret in this world.”


    Timothy couldn’t help but notice that Mia was still dressed in the same nightgown, nowyered with a


    bathrobe. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he inquired, “Where’s Luna?”


    “Oh, she’s just having a little fun in the water back there. Since Ms. Maynard seems to enjoy water so


    much, I thought I’d let her have her fill of it.


    “I was concerned she might grow bored ying alone, so I arranged for her to have a ymate.” Mia


    replied, casting a meaningful nce toward the back of the deck. Immediately, Caleb rushed forward,


    only to find Luna confined within an iron cage, prowling shark nearby.
