The more Sharon dwelled on the

situation, the angrier she became. As the respected matriarch of the Barrett family, she expectednothing less than utmost respect and deference in Bern City.

Never before had she endured such

humiliation!

If Laura hadn’t considered the VIP

membership card too extravagant and wasteful, Sharon would undoubtedly

have had one herself.

Then, she wouldn’t have had to endure

this humiliation at the hands of Mia

today!

Shelly nodded eagerly and exclaimed, ” Aunt Sharon, you need to make this clear to Timothy this mallis owned by our family. It’s utterly outrageous that a

modest store would dare to kick you out.

“They clearly don’t know their place. Timothy should promptly shut down this

store and expel them along with Mia!”

Shelly was furious, replaceing Mia’s arrogant demeanor intolerable.

Sharon shared the sentiment; how dare Mia, a humble servant who was once cast out by their family,behave so boldly toward her! She immediately dialed Timothy’s number.

Meanwhile, Timothy had just concluded a meeting and had some spare time, so he answered, “Hello,Mom.”

“Tim, I need to vent my frustrations to you!”

Sharon’s voice trembled and she sobbed, conveying a feeling of being mistreated.

Timothy responded indifferently, “Who would even dare to confront you in Bern City?”

Undoubtedly, in Bern City, Sharon’s reputation preceded her wherever she went, always surrounded bypeople eager to support and flatter her.

“Besides Mia, who else could have such

audacity?”

The mention of Mia immediately piqued Timothy’s interest. “Where did you run into Mia?”

“At Centura Mall. Tim, you know you’re a major shareholder of that mall. You need to call the mallmanager and have that store shut down immediately. They shouldn’t be allowed to operate there.”

Timothy raised an eyebrow. “Why?”

“It’s all because of Mia. She had the

audacity to have the store staff kick Shelly and I out just because she’s some

sort of VIP member.

“As the mother of the CEO of the Barrett Group, I’ve never experienced such humiliation before. Tim,Mia’s arrogance knows no bounds. You must help me rectify this!”

Timothy furrowed his brow. “Are you saying she holds a VIP membership at that store? That’s not easyto obtain.”

Considering Mia’s current status and

position, it was unlikely she could acquire a VIP membership.

Could it be from Connor?

Sharon exclaimed indignantly, “Exactly!

But Mia has a woman by her side claiming to be her sister, and it’s that woman who provided Mia withthe membership card.

“But Mia is supposed to be an orphan, correct? How did such a wealthy and influential relativesuddenly emerge?”

“Her sister?”

Timothy’s mind was immediately filled with doubts. Had Mia truly discovered her family?

But why hadn’t he been informed?

Mia hadn’t uttered a single word about it!

After a brief pause, Timothy inquired, ” Mom, is there anything else you know?”

“I… I only have this information. I have a feeling Mia’s sister might be involved in some shady dealings.

“She doesn’t seem like someone who

could legitimately possess this card. Perhaps she obtained it through illicit means or is a servant in awealthy household who took it secretly!”

Shelly interjected gently, “But the name and phone number on the membership card was hers, it wasaccurate.”

After all, it was always linked to the rightful owner.

If it was stolen or found, the details wouldn’t match the person’s identity.

Sharon shot Shelly a disapproving look before expressing her frustration, “Tim, I’ve explainedeverything. Please, call the mall manager immediately and have Mia removed! I can’t endure this

embarrassment any longer.”

Timothy was genuinely taken aback by the revelation of Mia replaceing her family.
