Timothy felt conflicted. If his eyes weren’t deceiving him, he clearly caught her mocking expression at


    the mention of marriage.


    His suspicion of her identity grew.


    Meanwhile, Mia sauntered around the resort alone. She was heading toward a building nearby to use


    the restroom when she ran into Shelly and Luna.


    She noticed that Shelly’s posture seemed slightly off. It was definitely due to the blisters on her heels


    caused by her ill–fitting shoes. Mia was appalled at her nerve to squeeze herself into the designer


    shoes despite knowing it would hurt.


    Shelly approached Mia with a docile smile. “Monalize, the ambiance here is really nice. It’d be great if


    you and Tim had your wedding here in the future.”


    “It’s too early for me and Timothy to discuss these things.” Mia had never thought about marrying


    Timothy. The idea itself was absurd.


    Shelly’s gaze darted toward Luna before she said, “Monalize, don’t say that. It think he’s serious about


    the rtionship. He’s finally dating someone after being single for so many years. If you be a


    member here in the future, rmend me so I can throw my birthday party here.”


    Mia knew herst sentence was her real intention.


    Feeling indignant, Luna immediately chimed in, “Shelly, Mrs. Barrett’s nning to throw a party for


    Asher’s birthday next month. It will also be held here. Don’t forget toe.”


    Shelly snickered. “What does your son’s birthday have anything to do with me? He’s not my son, after


    all. Don’t get ahead of yourself just because you coaxed Aunt Sharon into organizing a birthday party


    for Asher by giving her a present.


    “I know you’re using that fashion director. You couldn’t afford topensate her after ruining a dress


    you borrowed from her, so you let her tag along to offset your debt, isn’t it?”


    Shelly was well aware that Luna was boasting about how Asher could celebrate his birthday here. She


    simply wouldn’t let Luna have it her way.


    Mia raised a brow. “Now it makes sense of the identity of the woman who had been following you, Ms.


    Maynard. She didn’t look like a socialite.”

    “She’s just like Luna, desperate to be part of the upper crust. Have a look at yourself. Do you


    think that’s possible?”


    Luna’s expression changed drastically. She’d been tolerating Shelly’s insolence to befriend the


    Barretts. Little did she expect Shelly to change her footing so quickly over some small favors and even


    seize every chance to defy her.


    Luna couldn’t bear it anymore. She snickered. “Shelly, who do you think you are? You’re vain, a


    showoff, ambitious yet incapable, and you’ve been leeching off your parents. You’re literally dressed in


    knockoffs apart from your shoes. And you’ve got the nerve to unt them?”


    Mia arched her brows. What was Luna implying? Did the fashion director apanying her realize


    that something felt off?


    Shelly sneered. “Knockoffs? Are you blind? I bought them all at the show. You weren’t even invited to


    the show. How do you even muster such nerve to lecture me about their authenticity?”


    Luna was unyielding. “I don’t, but the fashion director I brought along today used to work in Vior. She’s


    very familiar with their craftsmanship. She could tell at a nce that your outfit was fake. Do you really


    think Monalize is that nice to you?”


    Shelly was stunned. She turned toward Mia in utter bewilderment.
