As Mia followed Shelly’s gaze, she spotted Luna in an evening gown. Indeed, trouble seemed to follow


    Mia wherever she went.


    Shelly’s expression turned uneasy. Knowing Luna’s long standing desire to be the youngdy of


    the Barrett family, she was certain Luna would stir up trouble.


    It was strange that Sharon suddenly approached them thest time they were at the café. Shellyter


    discovered that Luna had been spreading rumors, leading to a conflict between Sharon and Mia.


    Dressed in designer clothes and high heels, Luna approached them. “Shelly, you’re here for this event


    too? Why didn’t you tell me? We could havee together.”


    Shelly responded directly, “Luna, this fashion show is by invitation only. Only those who have received


    an invitation can attend. How did you get


    vours?”


    After all, Luna’s position within the Barrett family was rather precarious. Given that even Shelly couldn’t


    secure an invitation, it seemed unlikely that


    Luna could.


    Luna smiled faintly and exined, “I’m here with Mrs. Barrett. She wanted toe and unwind a bit.”


    Shelly suddenly felt uneasy. “Aunt Sharon is so unfair. She knows I love this brand, yet she’d rather


    bring an outsider than me.”


    If it weren’t for Monalize, Shelly wouldn’t have been able to attend this


    exclusive show today.


    As Sharon emerged from the restroom, she overheard Shelly’sments. Her expression hardened


    as she said, “Shelly, that’s quite disrespectful. How can you refer to Luna as an outsider?”


    Feeling defiant, Shelly retorted, “Why shouldn’t she be considered one?”


    Sharon let out a derisive snort and cast a nce in Mia’s direction.


    Addressing Shelly, Sharonmented, “Shelly, it seems you’ve lost your sense of judgment. You’re


    swayed by the slightest favor. Is this truly all you’re worth?”


    Though Shelly was feeling a bit angry, Mia quickly calmed her down and said with a smile, “Shelly,


    don’t let it get to you. Why be upset? Let’s go and enjoy the show.”


    Luna interjected, “Ms. Monalize, didn’t you see Mrs. Barrett? Aren’t you going to say hello?”


    ncing over, Mia couldn’t ignore Sharon’s cold and indifferent


    expression. Sharon exuded an air of arrogance, apanied by disdain.


    Mia smiled slightly and replied, “We’re not that close, so there’s no need for


    that.”


    ron was furious after hearing Mia’s words. She couldn’tprehend Mia’s arrogance. Didn’t Mia


    realize that Timothy was her son?


    Adding fuel to the fire, Luna remarked, “Ms. Monalize, you and Tim are in a romantic rtionship, and


    Mrs. Barrett is his mother. Even if there were past disagreements, a simple greeting is still appropriate,


    wouldn’t you agree?”


    “I’m dating Timothy, not his mother. This is just who I am, that,” Mia retorted.


    I can’t change


    Mia knew that Luna was intentionally trying to escte the situation.


    Nheless, she refused to show any deference to Sharon. She wasn’t going to submit to the Barrett


    family!


    Sharon couldn’t hold back, saying, “Ms. Monalize, I mustmend your, determination. However, do


    you truly believe that a rtionship can


    withstand the test of time without the family’s approval?”


    “I never considered a long–term future with Timothy.”


    Upon hearing this, Sharon was furious. What was Mia insinuating? How dare she speak ill of Timothy,


    especially when there were plenty of wealthy young women eager to marry him!

    Noticing Sharon’s frustration, Luna quickly shifted the topic. “Ms.


    Monalize, I heard that your daughter is unwell and in the hospital. As a mother, shouldn’t you be with


    her instead of attending a fashion show?”
