Filed to story: Mia Bowen and Timothy Barrett Novel
A doctor was disinfecting Luna’s wound. It hurt and she drew in a sharp breath.
She sneered at Mia. “I know that. I don’t
Qui need an outsider like you 1 . Stop speaking as if het the business.”
Luna was basically a ticking time bomb that could explode at any time after the humiliation.
Mia grinned. “Is that important now?”
She did not expect the duo to fight twice. It just got worse.
“How is that not important? Ouch! It hurts! Be gentle!” Shelly scolded the nurse. “Mia Lane, I bet you don’t know this but the owner of Aide
Castle personally organized the net banquet. I heard that he’s going to show up in person. Aren’t you afraid that everyone here would know that you’re lying?”
“Why would I be scared?”
Shelly turned to look at Timothy. “Tim, can you believe it? Mia said that she’s the real owner of Aide Castle.”
Timothy gazed at Mia in surprise, wondering if she really is the owner of Aide Castle.
Chapter 1091
It was no wonder Mia suddenly asked him about the collaboration with Aide Castle when they were flying from Bern City to Nord City.
Soon after that, Aide Castle gave in and offered a chance at negotiation to the Barrett Group.
He had a strange feeling back then. Why did Aide Castle suddenly change their mind?
Now, he knew why.
Mia had asked him about the collaboration when she saw that special collaboration proposal brought over by his subordinate.
At that time, he told her that he would ban Aide Castle if they chose not to collaborate with Barrett Group.
Mia had been setting him up all this while! She even mentioned that she knew the owner of Aide Castle and could introduce the owner to him.
He was deceived.
Mia let out a cough as she felt the weight of his questioning gaze on her. “What are you looking at? Got an opinion about it?”
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Timothy sounded aggrieved.
Shelly barked, “Oh, stop pretending, Mia Lane. The manager of Aide Castle is here. He’s going to expose you!”
Mia raised her head only to see Philip walking over.
Her brows creased. She already informed someone to fire him.
So why was he still here?
No one could violate the values of Aide Castle. She didn’t need an employee like him here.
Shelly smirked. “This is the newly appointed general manager here,
Mr. Philip Landry. Since he’s from the management team, he must have met the real owner of Aide ne
Castle himself. But he didn’t acknowledge Mia’s presence when he welcomed us. With him, we’ll be able to expose her lies.”
Every step Philip took felt dreadful. He gingerly glanced at Mia, not knowing how to beg for her mercy.
He didn’t expect this woman to be the real owner of Aide Castle!
He failed to recognize her and committed a grave sin in front of her. He was given a notice to leave the company completely.
He couldn’t afford to lose his job. He had a family to feed. Thus, he thought of coming to beg for forgiveness from Mia to see if he could still stay at Aide Castle.
Luna saw him and flashed a smile.
“Please explain the situation to us. Is
Ms. Lane lying to us? Is she the owner ide Castle? I hope you can straighten things out because the owner personally organized this banquet. It won’t be good to have an impersonator around.”
Sharon joined in, pushing Mia to the edge. “She’s right. Someone showed up and is impersonating the owner of Aide Castle. This will surely affect your organization’s name. I hope you can clear things up for us.”
Sharon wished for Philip to expose Mia’s true colors. That way, Mia would learn her lesson for being arrogant.
Timothy’s expression turned serious. “What is there to explain about this?”
He thought that it was unnecessary because Mia was truly the owner of Aide Castle.
Sharon huffed. “Tim, you can’t take her side. She’s lying! I thought you were going to collaborate with Aide Castle soon. What if an impersonator is deceiving you and you go bankrupt?
“I don’t mind that if it’s her.”
“Are you out of your mind? Mia’s a liar!”
Chapter 1092
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 some senses into him.
Shelly 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.
Mia didn’t know how to respond upon hearing that.
At the same time, 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.”
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.”
Chapter 1093
Luna almost bit her lip until it bled.
Jasmine was doing that on purpose.
Luna had always looked down upon Mia, but it turns out that Mia was leading a successful life!
Different emotions bubbled up inside Luna like a storm. There was no way she could regain her composure at the moment.
Luna kept insisting that Mia was a liar.
Now, she was the butt of the joke.
