Mia lifted her head to glance at Timothy.
Was he out of his mind? What did he mean when he said he was willing to go bankrupt as long as it was her? Besides, she wasn't a liar nor an imposter! Luna remarked, "It won't do her anything good if you keep forgiving her. The truth can never be covered up by lies. We can expose her at any time. I bet you don't want others to comment on how your ex-wife is a liar, do you?" Timothy glared at Luna. "Who are you calling a liar? I believe her. I believe that she is the owner of Aide Castle." "I think you're not in your right state of mind because of her lies, Tim. This is a huge matter. How could you just take her words at face value? The real owner has yet to reveal himself. Is Mia the owner just because she said so? She can't even prove it." Sharon attempted to talk ssenses into him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShelly chimed in, "She has a point. Not even the general manager admitted that she was the real owner back there. Isn't this enough to tell you that she's lying?" "Zip it! Behave!" Timothy warned.
Timothy's intimidating glare immediately scared Shelly into keeping quiet.
He turned his head to look at Philip. "Since everyone's asking you to straighten things out, why don't you tell us something? Given your position, you should know who the real owner is. Otherwise, there's no reason for you to continue staying in the company." Mia arched her brow at how much Timothy understood her. She actually fired Philip over the phone a while ago.
Philip gulped upon hearing that. Taking a deep breath, he presented himself in front of Mia.
Luna's eyes lit up in anticipation. "Say something, Mr. Landry. Is Mia really the owner?" It would be best if he could mock Mia as well. Luna couldn't accept the fact that Mia was better than her in anything.
Philip bowed 90 degrees, catching Mia off guard as she stepped backward right away. "What are you doing?" "I was a foot to not know that you are the real owner, and I shouldn't have been rude. But I seriously can't lose this job. I have a family to feed. Please forgive me." His voice was trembling. S Mia didn't know how to respond upon hearing that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the stime, the crowd broke into a heated discussion.
"What? Mia Lane is really the owner of Aide Castle?" "Oh my lord. I didn't expect that! I heard people saying that she's a good-for-nothing-oh, I don't mean it in a bad way-but the Lane family pampered her so much after finally finding her. I didn't hear anything about her starting a business though." "Of course, you wouldn't have heard anything. When I worked with Aide Castle, I couldn't even find out who the real owner was. I didn't expect it to be Ms. Lane! Everyone in their family has exceptional achievements. I'm so jealous." о Those voices rang in Luna's ears and her mind buzzed. Her whole world died down.
Her body began shaking as she didn't expect such a turn of events.
Now, it seemed like everyone was laughing at her.
Jasmine intentionally said, "Are you happy now, Luna Maynard? Mia is really the owner of Aide Castle."
