Chapter 188

Mia turned her attention to Bob and Mary. “In your dreams! I’d rather lose my job and sleep on the

streets than give you money!”

“Watch your language, Mia Bowen! Do you think I won’t hit you here?” Bob, always vile–tempered,

seemed ready to resort to physical measures.

Felix stepped forward, grabbing him by the collar. “You can try me.”

One by one, male colleagues in the office marched forward intimidatingly, while some female

colleagues stood by Mia’s side. It was a showdown.

“Why don’t we take a moment to teach you about the law, old lady? Torturing Mia when she was little is

against the law. She could report you to the authorities, you’d be taken away,” one colleague stood up

for Mia, talking pointedly to Mary.

“I know, right? How shameless of them to come here and demand money!” some women remarked.

Seeing themselves losing the fight, Mary and Bob took a few steps backward.

Mary placed her hands on her waist. “Just you wait, Mia Bowen. If you don’t give us the money, we’ll

come back again!”

After the couple left, the helpless Mia looked at her supportive colleagues. “Thanks for helping out. I’ll

treat you all to something later.”

Felix replied with a smile. “It’s nothing. We can tell they’re up to no good. How are you going to deal

with this?

They don’t seem like the type to give up until they get what they want.”

Mia forced a smile. “That’s why I chose to resign.”

“No can do. That’s out of the question. If you don’t have money, I can lend you some,” Felix offered.

“No. It’s not about the money. I just don’t wanna give in to their taunts. If I start giving them money,

they’ll

leech off me until the end.”

Mia understood her adoptive parents‘ characters very well. So, she knew the exact solution for it.

Felix came up with another solution to help Mia. “If so, you can fake your resignation. You can come to

work.

again when they stop causing a ruckus.”

“Thanks, Felix.” Mia still felt guilt gnawing at her conscience.

After all, Felix had made her an exception many times.

The commotion caused by her adoptive parents at the studio triggered a sense of remorse within her.

“You’re welcome. We’re friends, Mia. Feel free to reach out to me whenever you’re having a hard time.

Don’t be

a stranger.” Felix assured her, prompting squeals from the other employees.

A helpless smile played across Mia’s face as she went to order coffee for her colleagues.

Shortly after, she received a call from an unknown number. “Hello? Who is this?”

“Mia, did your adoptive parents come to you?” the mystery caller asked.

“Are you the person who told them where I work?” Mia questioned, her voice tinged with suspicion.

It puzzled her how her adoptive parents managed to find their way to the studio.

Shelly must have them!

“Mia Bowen, if you want a peaceful life, tell Timothy to unfreeze my cards,” Shelly threatened.

“Shelly Barrett, a proper apology might have helped. I could’ve talked to Timothy about unfreezing your

cards.” Mia answered calmly.

Shelly screamed. “Mia Bowen! Are you demanding an apology from me? Wake up, girl!”

“That’s my line. Need me to put in a good word for you? Wake up, this is not a dream.” Mia then hung

up and blocked the number.

Mia stayed under the radar the entire day. Since she didn’t have to go to work, she buried herself in

books in the study hall at her college.

Felix called. “Mia, your adoptive parents stopped by a while ago. I told them about your resignation and

an outstanding compensation for unfinished duties. They ran off so quickly I couldn’t catch them. I

doubt they’ll

come back.”

Mia beamed, appreciating his clever idea.

She focused on her homework and revision with peace of mind. As the sun was about to set, she

received an unexpected call.

She looked at the caller ID and wondered why this person had reached her.
