Chapter 20
Maya and Shelly were in similar states of disarray. Their hair and clothes were a mess, and there were marks
left behind by the spatula Mia had used.
“Mrs. Barrett will stand up for me!” Maya shrieked.
“But you’re in the Barrett residence right now, and Grandma Laura is the one who has the final say. Do you think she’ll believe you guys or me?
“I’m warning you two. Don’t try to mess with me, or you won’t be getting off so easily next time,” Mia growled.
Shelly gulped with a look of despair. She knew Mia was right. Laura would definitely believe Mia, that bitch!
After saying her piece, Mia walked out of the kitchen.
Maya and Shelly crumpled to the floor. They were forced to suffer such treatment without being able to get

Gritting her teeth, Maya fumed, “I won’t be forgetting this! Just you wait!”
All this while, Timothy had been standing in a corner outside the kitchen. He had witnessed everything.
Cocking an eyebrow, Timothy stared after Mia’s retreating figure. He didn’t expect her to come out victorious
despite being outnumbered and injured.
His assistant asked, “Mr. Barrett, what just happened proves that Ms. Lane did indeed frame Ms. Mia. Should
we help? What if Ms. Lane tries to get revenge?”
“Don’t bother. As long as Maya has a functioning brain, she won’t dare to pursue this matter,” Timothy said
before leaving.
When Mia returned to the living room, she acted like nothing happened.
The women went into the dining room and took their seats, but Timothy wasn’t with them.
Laura turned to the side and said to one of the Barretts’ household staff, “Martha, get that brat in here. It’s time for dinner. Why isn’t he here in the dining room? Where has he gone off to?”
making for you.”
