Raymond elaborated, "I've been working with your family for many years. Guess we can say that we're old friends. Ms. Mia, do you really think Dominic has a clean record?"
A cold glint glowed in Mia's eyes. Of course, she knew that Dominic didn't have a clean record.
After all, their family almost went bankrupt due to various blows after their parents passed on.
Dominic was the person stabilizing the company's footing until today. He had it rough.
She reckoned he had used many illicit methods in the beginning.
After all, business would always be as fierce as war, a war free from blood.
Mia had never expected Raymond to use this to threaten her, but she actually had it coming. She threatened him with his position as the mayor.
It didn't take her long to regain her composure. Smiling, she responded, "But whatever he does has nothing to do with me."
"Ms. Mia, do you really not care about your brothers' reputation? Actually, we can make a deal to make peace."
"I refuse."
"Think about it first, Ms. Mia. Luna did hurt you and your family, almost killing your child. But, fortunately, no one was hurt in the end. We can still talk it out nicely, don't you think?"
Mia couldn't help but be impressed by his slick talk. Her gaze shifted to Luna, who wore a triumphant expression, showing no sign of regret.
The sheer sight of that made Mia's blood boil.
Mia took a deep breath. "We'll see who's going to pay the price in the end."
