Upon seeing Luna, Mia remained unfazed.
Considering Luna’s jealous reaction to Timothy agreeing to date Mia, it was apparent that she wouldn’t
readily ept it, given her temperament.
Mia calmly washed her hands, stealing a nce at Luna in the mirror. “If you have something to say,
say it now. Our paths may not cross again once I leave. After all, we’re from different social sses.”
This remark struck Luna’s insecurity, prompting her to raise her voice, “Who do you think are? You put
on this facade of wealth and virtue, but who knows, perhaps you’ve gained your riches by cozying up to
men.”

Mia couldn’t help but express her disdain with a click of her tongue. “Luna, perhaps you should take a
good look at yourself in the mirror and see how unattractive jealousy makes
you.

“You act all high and mighty, yet why do you insist on unting designerbels from head to toe? Even
when your clothing starts to show signs of wear, it seems you’re reluctant to rece them, don’t you
think?”
Mia’s gaze was sharp, instantly prating Luna’s hypocritical facade.
Approaching Luna, Mia scrutinized her appearance from head to toe. “It’s quite obvious that you also
have a fondness for vanity and luxury brands.
“However, despite your financial constraints, you maintain an air of indifference,
pretending not to care about money. Don’t you think you’re quite the actor?”
Luna’s expression immediately red; it seemed as though Mia had pierced through her facade. She
clutched her boutique luxury handbag tightly, a flicker of resentment passing through her eyes.
Although she took pleasure in her wealth, she couldn’t afford to openly disy it.
Mia responded with a cold sneer. “Move aside, you’re blocking my way.”
Luna awkwardly stepped back twice before meeting Mia’s gaze. “Don’t think resorting to such tactics to
win Tim’s affection will guarantee a smooth path to bing his girlfriend, or even marrying into the
Barrett family. You’re just a stand–in, after all.”
“Tsk tsk, what a shame. You’ve been with Timothy for so long, yet you couldn’t even secure
1/2/2
a position as his backup.” Mia fired back.
Mia herself remained unfazed by Luna’s insinuation about being a substitute, now realizing that she
was Timothy’s ex–wife. Hence, such remarks were unlikely to sway her.
Even if she had been unaware, Mia wouldn’t have been phased by the term “stand–in.” After all, she
was typically the one who left men withsting regret and longing; none had the ability to hurt her.
Observing Luna’s frustration and inability to retaliate, Mia’s mood lifted.
“Ms. Maynard, I have a suggestion for you: why not consider stic surgery? Maybe then you’ll have a
chance as a stand–in.”
“That’s it! This is Bern City; don’t push too far, or there will be consequences,” Luna retorted sharply.
Mia’s gaze turned cold. “I’m warning you, think twice before you act. Next time, it won’t just be a matter
of swimming with sharks; I’ll personally ensure you be their prey. Mark my words!”
Haunted by memories of being thrown into the sea, Luna spoke with a hint of fear, “This is Bern City;
the Barrett family won’t tolerate such behavior.”
“Now that I’m Timothy’s girlfriend, whose side do you think he’ll be on?” Mia countered, raising her
eyebrows slightly and wearing a yful smirk. With that, she turned and exited the restroom.
As Luna observed Mia walking away, she felt a surge of anger. She was driven to the point of wanting
to break something.
Despite her indignation, Luna managed to control her emotions as she reminded herself of the new
handbag she held, bought during her trip to Xanier Ind.
Ultimately, Luna could only suppress her rage, aware that when her son eventually assumed the role of
heir to the Barrett Group, she would seek revenge for the humiliation she endured today.
As Mia descended the stairs and left the hospital, she couldn’t help but notice Shelly waiting on the
ground floor. Shelly was incessantly taking selfies, clutching a handbag and a pair of shoes.
