Chapter 38
“How is she considered a customer?” Shelly shrieked. Forcing her to apologize to
Mia made her feel worse than getting killed.
Timothy said coldly, “As a member of the Barrett family, your actions have severely
impacted our image. If you don’t apologize, you won’t be allowed to set foot in any of
the Barrett family’s malls in the future. Security, get her out of here!”
He was a ruthless, decisive leader. He didn’t give Shelly any leeway.
When Shelly saw the security guards approaching, she knew Timothy was being serious. If she were to get kicked out today and be barred from entering any of the

Mia was stunned. What was wrong with Timothy? Wasn’t he a busy bee? Why did he
suddenly have time to stay here and keep an eye on things?
On the other hand, Eva was pretty pleased by this. Timothy looked like a pest, but he
was rather principled when it came to doing business.
“Mia, come and try this on,” she said.
Mia had no choice but to walk over to Eva. She looked at the evening gown before
