Chapter 8
The bodyguards were there to pick Mia up?
She looked at the helicopter and thought about how Patricia had told her that her family had sought Patricia
out.
Had these bodyguards really been sent by her family?
Mia pinched her face, feeling like she was dreaming. There couldn’t really be a helicopter here to take her
home.
She’d been dreaming for the past 20 years. Was it really coming true now?
Maya looked at Mia mockingly. “You’re a great actress, Mia. Where did you find these extras? They do a pretty good job. Look, once a peasant, always a peasant. No matter how hard you try to conceal it, you can’t hide how poor you really are.
“I can’t believe you even rented a helicopter for this! I bet this is your first time getting into one, you country bumpkin!”
Before Mia could say anything, the bodyguard standing beside her gave Maya a hard slap. The force of it made her lose her balance and fall to the ground.
Maya shrieked, “How dare you instruct this guy to slap me! Do you know who I am? Do you know who my brothers are? I’m gonna have you and your family’s lives for this!”
Mia smiled at how crazed Maya looked. “Well, my brother’s Voldemort.”
She turned and headed toward the helicopter. Behind her, Timothy growled, “Stop right there, Mia!”
She faltered, then continued toward the helicopter without looking back.
As Timothy watched her get further away, he sped up to run after her. But Maya clung to him, saying pitifully,” Look at her, Tim! She even dared to have her man slap me!”
Timothy didn’t spare her a glance. His gaze was frosty and complicated as he watched Mia’get into the helicopter. She’d actually left!
“Tim, she must’ve already found someone new. Why else would she have this rich guy send a helicopter to pick her up right after she signed the divorce papers?” Maya said.
“Shut up!” Timothy narrowed his eyes. He thought Mia was only putting up a strong front to make him mad. He hadn’t expected her to really find someone new.
He immediately called his assistant. “Mia Bowen’s been taken away by a helicopter. Find out where she’s gone.”
“Do you care about her so much, Tim? She’s betrayed you and left with another man,” Maya said.
Timothy frowned. “Shut up. I just want to explain this to Grandma. Mia’s life and death means nothing to me.”
