Chapter 182

This was certainly bad news.

After class, Mia discreetly exited the college, concealing her identity with a hat and mask, wary of being spotted by Bob and Mary.

After all, they were entirely capable of resorting to disruptive actions, such as blocking the college entrance.

Upon reaching the roadside, Mia carefully surveyed her surroundings, ensuring there were no suspicious figures around.

Finding none, she breathed a sigh of relief and decided to hail a taxi for her journey back home.

"Mia, stop right there!"

Suddenly, a red sports car pulled over by the roadside, and Shelly emerged, visibly agitated. "Where else do you think you can hide?" Mia maintained her composure. "I haven't been hiding." "Then why are you wearing a mask and hat on such a scorching day if you're not trying to hide?" Shelly retorted.

She intercepted Mia, obstructing her path. "You're the one who ratted me out to my family.

"Now, I'm stuck with a measly monthly allowance of fifty thousand dollars, which is nowhere near enough for my expenses.

"Come with me to clarify things with Timothy. The whole Wilhelmina

incident has nothing to do with me. It was all her fault, and I have zero connection to it." The financial strain had become unbearable for Mia lately. She avoided social gatherings with friends and hesitated to visit shopping malls. The experience was utterly agonizing.

As Mia observed Shelly's irritable demeanor, she couldn't help but reflect on the lavish lifestyle Shelly had once led.

Accustomed to a life of extravagance and consistently indulging in opulence, the unexpected freeze of her credit card was undoubtedly distressing for Shelly.

Nonetheless, Timothy's strategy had proven remarkably effective. 

Maintaining her indifference, Mia casually remarked, "Well, it's not like I'm the one who cut off your credit card. So, this is none of my business.

"Besides, Wilhelmina openly confessed that this incident is linked to you. Are you trying to claim innocence?" "It had nothing to do with me in the first place. You simply have too many enemies, and Wilhelmina targeted you out of personal animosity. How does | that implicate me?" Certainly, Shelly wasn't going to admit any involvement in the matter.

With everything sorted out on Wilhelmina's end, Shelly was confident that she wouldn't risk speaking up. So, for now, Shelly felt safe.

Aware that Shelly wouldn't admit any wrongdoing, Mia chose not to engage in pointless arguments. &» Suddenly, she noticed a middle-aged couple approaching from across the street—weren't they Bob and Mary? It was all Shelly's fault for holding her up. Otherwise, she would have left already and wouldn't have been caught in this situation.

Mia instinctively lowered her head, hoping to avoid them. However, Mary's voice rang out from across the road, "Mia, you brat! I see you. How dare you hide?"  Clicking her tongue in annoyance, Mia contemplated a swift escape.

However, Shelly seized her,

| questioning, "Where do you think you're going? Aren't those your adoptive parents? Why hide? Talking to them might be a good idea, don't you think?" "Shelly, let go of me!" Mia yelled.

"You want me to let go? Fine, but you have to get in the car and come with me to meet Timothy." Observing Bob and Mary approaching, Mia acted without hesitation, jumping into Shelly's car.

Compared to confronting Timothy, she was even more averse to getting entangled with her adoptive parents at that moment.

Shelly promptly sped away, leaving Bob and Mary trailing behind in the distance.

Mia glanced back, catching a glimpse of them running and uttering curses, A faint smile crept onto the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, she was fast! In a triumphant tone, Shelly declared, "Consider yourself saved this time.

However, you'll have to explain everything to Timothy later." Turning toward her, Mia inquired, "What exactly is it that you want me to explain?" "Twant you to clarify that this situation has nothing to do with me.

It's crucial to have Timothy reinstate my credit card limit immediately."

"Do you honestly think Timothy is gullible? If he didn't uncover any wrongdoing, how could he have decided to block your credit card?"

Upon hearing this, Shelly's frustration grew. "Mia, are you unwilling to clarify matters with Timothy? If so, I'll take you back immediately!" Deep down, Mia harbored an intense desire to unleash a torrent of profanities.
