Mia couldn’t care less about Sharon’s attempts toplicate matters for her, but when it came to
Ginger, that was utterly uneptable.
Sharon sneered, “Who do you think you are? Just because your family has some money, do you think
you can marry Tim, given your baggage? Let me make it clear, that’s not going to happen!”
“Who said I have any interest in marrying your son? Don’t tter yourself.”
Mia stepped closer, her tone stern, “Honestly, I’m only getting close to him to manipte his emotions,
and while I’m at it, I’ll use him to save my daughter by taking his bone marrow. Once I’m done, I’ll
discard him like trash.”
“You… You despicable woman! It’s no surprise you’ve turned out like this. You’re nothing but trouble!
Mia’s gaze turned cold, her expression distant. “Is it because you’re haunted by guilt? Do you ever
have nightmares of the dead returning to haunt you in the night?”
Sharon trembled with anger. “What nonsense are you spouting? Who do you think you are?”
“Take a guess.”
Upon noticing Monalize’s striking resemnce to Mia, panic seized Sharon, causing her to hastily
retreat. In her rush, however, she inadvertently lost her footing and tumbled down
the stairs.
Mia stood at the top of the staircase, watching Sharon’s fall, a hauntingly familiar scene echoing in her
mind.
She tapped her head pensively. Could it be that the incident from years ago also urred on a
staircase?
“Mrs. Barrett, are you alright?”
At that moment, Luna’s wheelchair emerged at the foot of the stairs, and she hurriedly made her way to
Sharon’s side. Observing Sharon’s unconscious form, a flicker of
satisfaction crossed Luna’s eyes.

The next instant, Luna red at Mia and eximed, “Ms. Monalize, how dare you push Mrs. Barrett
down the stairs? It seems you’ve got a real nasty streak in you, huh?”

Mia peered down at Luna. “Instead of pointing fingers at me, you should be calling for a doctor to help
her. If you continue to take your own sweet time, others might suspect you’re deliberately dying her
treatment.”
Luna was momentarily speechless at Mia’s retort, quickly dialing for medical assistance to aid the
unconscious Sharon.
Staring defiantly at Mia, Luna shot back, “Don’t think you’ve won. I’ll find Tim, and then we’ll see how
you’ll exin yourself to him.”
“Perhaps you should wipe that smug look off your face. We wouldn’t want Timothy catching onto your
deceptive tactics and throwing you out of the Barrett family, would we?”
With that, Mia turned on her heel and walked away.
Luna remained unmoved, her expression ambiguous as she observed Mia’s departure.
“Even if you’ve caught on, what can you do? This time, I’ll ensure you face the consequences,” Luna
vowed silently to herself.
Meanwhile, Mia calmly made her way back to the hospital room, but she refrained from entering right
away.
Approaching her, Peyton spoke up, “Ms. Mia, I’m concerned that the incident might be misconstrued. I’ll
retrieve the surveince footage to prove that Mrs. Barrett’s fall was idental and not rted to you.”
“Alright, keep it ready for now.”
Nheless, Mia didn’t go upstairs to find Timothy. For some inexplicable reason, she didn’t feel like
offering an exnation.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Luna rushed into Timothy’s ward in tears. “Tim, it’s awful. Aunt Sharon took a fall
down the hospital stairs and is unconscious in the ER. You’ve got toe see her.”
“What? Take me there.”
Timothy swiftly rose from his bed, following Luna to the emergency room area.
Frowning at Luna, he asked, “Why was she even at the hospital in the first ce?”
Luna suddenly felt a pang of unease. Why wasn’t Timothy’s first question about why Sharon fell?
She quickly rified, “Well, I may have informed Aunt Sharon about your hospitalization
yesterday because I was concerned about you… Timothy retorted coldly, “Did I ask you to meddle?”
