Sweet Mischief's Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 28

Mia said calmly, "If Andre truly loves Jillian, why doesn't he marry her? Clearly, he doesn't love her."

"Hah, Mia, look at yourself, you reek of cheapness. How did you even marry into this family? You and Jillian are like the ugly duckling and the beautiful swan."

Mia glanced at Naomi, her gaze finally landing on Naomi's wrist, studying the familiar bracelet. "Yeah, I'm cheap. You're noble. Look at your million-dollar bracelet. Those in the know might know that money was made by my husband, but those clueless ones might mistake your husband as one of the mayors accused of corruption and bribery."

"How dare you!" Hansen rebuked harshly.

His eyes were red from their squabble.

Naomi had reached middle age yet she was still stupid. Mia was young but outspoken and would say anything. One brought up his least favorite Jillian, while the other said something absolutely outrageous.

Bruce looked grim. "Mia, you're young, so I won't hold your words against you."

He turned to Andre, "You need to keep your wife in check."

Andre was shocked, but kept his cool. He gave a fake laugh, "Same goes for you."

Hansen roared, "No more talking in the dining room. Whoever talks can get the hell out."

As his words fell, the four of them stood up and, surprisingly, left the dining room together.

Hansen knocked over all the dishes on the table with his cane; he was so angry his hand was shaking.

Outside, the four split into two groups and went their separate ways.

Mia naturally followed Andre. "You saw it today, as long as I'm here, there won't be peace in your family."

Andre turned, the morning sun shining on his face. Mia looked up at the man bathed in morning light, hoping his character was as good as his looks.
