Upon hearing this, Mia’s heart raced–this was precisely why she hade to Bern City.
She calmly responded, “It’s not necessary at the moment. I’ve arranged for a family doctor to tend to
her. Some rest should do the trick.”
Mia pondered whether it would be too conspicuous to act now.
Perhaps it would be wiser toy the groundwork for a few days beforehand.
After ending the call, Mia let out a sigh of relief and cast a nce back at Laura resting on the hospital
bed.
Unable to resist, she sent a message to Nichs: “Is the reishi mushroom still avable?”
It seemed she might need to procure another stalk of reishi mushroom.
As Mia settled into the car, her assistant Peyton Mosby, seated in the passenger seat, ryed some
concerning news, “Ms. Mia, the systems of the Barrett Group crashed abruptly today.
“There are whispers of a potential hacking breach. However, the official
statement from the Barrett Group attributes it to a system malfunction, without acknowledging any
involvement of hacking.”
N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
“A hacking breach?” Mia’s eyebrow arched in response.
It made sense why Timothy had hurried to thepany so urgently. Corporate systems often harbor
undisclosed secrets, and if hackers were to uncover and expose them, it could spell, significant trouble.
It seemed Timothy’s technical departmentckedpetent personnel, perhaps even falling behind in
technical proficiencypared to Sage.
Mia couldn’t help but internally scoff at Timothy’spany for falling victim to hacking.
She swiftly texted Shelly: “Shelly, I’m on my way. I’ll be at the mall in an hour.
I’ve already spoken to the store manager, so if you arrive early, feel free to go straight in.”
Shelly responded promptly with an excited emoji, evidently thrilled by the news.
In contrast, Mia maintained herposure. Indeed, the VIP treatment at Vior was a far cry
from the standard experience for regr members.
Aware of Shelly’s penchant for vanity, Mia anticipated that she would
undoubtedly boast about it.
Seated in the passenger seat, Peyton expressed his surprise, “Ms. Mia, it’s only a half–hour drive from
here. We don’t need an hour.”
Mia’s eyes sharpened with resolve as she responded, “I know, but that’s precisely my intention.”
Indeed, Shelly’s vanity knew no bounds. Just the previous day at the hospital, she boldly remarked on
Luna’s humble upbringing directly in her presence.
During her time with the Barrett family, Mia herself had been an average person without power or
influence. It was usible that Shelly had also ridiculed and underestimated her in the past.
Consequently, Mia resolved to impart a valuable lesson to Shelly today.
As Mia’s car swiftly arrived at the mall, she happened to notice Shelly’s car parked ahead of hers.
Adorned with a designer handbag, Shelly was apanied by two simrly affluent–lookingdies.
It was evident at first nce that they hailed from wealthy backgrounds, d in designer attire from
head to toe.
Observing Shelly and herpanions on the elevator, Mia calmly emerged from her car and selected a
different elevator to ascend upstairs.
With an air of superiority, Shelly confidently exited the elevator and turned to herpanions, asking,
“Are you sure that bitch ir will be joining us at Vior today?”
“Shelly, I’ve double–checked. Ms. March will definitely be at Vior today.
Remember howst time you showcased that limited edition Vior bag? It practically drove Ms. March
crazy.”
With a smug expression, Shelly nced at her newly acquired bag. She had brought it to the barst
night, and indeed, it had unsettled ir.
ir seemed to always have issues with Shelly. Despite Shelly’s status as the heiress of the Barrett
family, ir dared to look down on her.
Today, Shelly was determined to show ir just what elite families can do.
