Chapter 219
Mia’s gaze was piercing as she held her phone.
After a while, Shelly screamed furiously from the other end of the phone.
“Mia, who’d expect you to be such a bitch? I asked you multiple times before if you had deleted all the
videos, and you said you did! But in the end, you still have a trick up your sleeve.”
“Yeah, I did. If only you and your mother respected me and didn’t order me around like a slave, I
wouldn’t have
kept this video with me. After all, it’s super disgusting.”
Shelly shrieked frantically, “You bitch! Who are you calling disgusting?”
“You, obviously. Did you forget how you shimmied out of your clothes in the blink of an eye and fucked
with
the guys once you got high?”
Mia had meant to provoke Shelly. She could hear her hysterical screams on the other end of the
phone. She
might even be hurling things at the ground at this moment.
Mia smirked and quipped, “Why don’t you get yourself a better publicity team to get yourself out of this

instead of looking for my trouble?”
She hung up right away and blocked her. Shelly was nothing more than a dumbass who couldn’t
control her
temper. The last thing she wanted was to be harassed by her.
Just then, she received a new notification from Timothy. Her gaze wavered when she saw his
message.
He merely replied, “?”
What did he mean by that?
In response, Mia texted, “I expect you to be completely capable of accepting the payment, right?”
Timothy exited his bedroom and made his way to the living room.
Heath hurried toward him as he said, “Mr. Barrett, there’s an emergency. The stock prices are
deflating.”
As he said so, he handed him the iPad which showed Shelly’s news topping the entertainment
headlines.
Timothy’s expression darkened as he cursed, “Damn it! Get someone to lock Shelly up, and don’t let
anyone
out there take her pictures.”
“I’ve contacted Ms. Lane, and she said Shelly wouldn’t go out at all.”
As Timothy tugged on his tie, he recalled Mia mentioning that she was going to teach them a lesson.
Was this
her doing?
He looked at Heath as he ordered, “Make publicity tend to this now. Make them do whatever they can
to reduce the impact on our company.”
“Noted. The publicity team will be at the company for an emergency meeting, and they’ll come up with
a plan

Timothy leaned back on the couch as he massaged his temples. He called Mia, and she answered the
call in a
hushed tone.
“Hello? What is it?”

“Shouldn’t that be all?” Mia retorted, slightly bewildered.
She turned back to her bedroom from the living room again. Was Timothy trying to scam her?
“The video you released caused our stock prices to deflate, and we lost millions. So, do you think a
hundred thousand dollars will suffice?”
After a brief pause, Mia sneered.
“What does that have anything to do with me? Haven’t you heard of a chain reaction? In fact, you
should be blaming Shelly instead of me.”
“The video was probably taken a year ago. You kept it with you for so long, and you showed your cards
at the most critical moment. Mia, I’ve really underestimated you.”
Mia inhaled sharply when she sensed the coldness in his voice.
“Indeed. And there’s more I have to tell you–the video isn’t complete. I have more of it, and it’s even
more explicit.”
Timothy gritted his teeth as he ordered, “Give me the video.”
Although he didn’t really care about Shelly, he wouldn’t let her ruin his company image.
“Why would I do that? This is my leverage to keep Shelly from doing crazy things to me. If she
behaves, the video won’t ever be released.”
“Mia, I’m sure you’re aware that exposing the video violates the law as well. Do you think you can hide
your traces on the internet?”
