Chapter 255
Upon hearing Fabian’s words, Mia couldn’t help but find Bob and Mary’s actions utterly ridiculous.
In this modern era, the concept of being married off to an older man from the countryside with a bribenovelbin
seemed absurd to her.
Did they truly think they could control her with such outdated methods?
Suddenly, Felix rushed out and forcefully pushed Fabian away. “What are you doing? If you cause any
more trouble, I’ll call the police!”
Seated on the ground, Fabian insisted, “I offered Mia’s family a ten–thousand–dollar bribe, and
consequently, we’re now engaged. That amount constitutes my yearly savings.
“Mia, you must come back home with me and bear me a son!”
Mia cast a cold gaze at Fabian. “Are you insane? I’ve cut all ties with my adoptive parents. Whatever
they choose to do with the money has no bearing on me.”
“I don’t care. After all, Bob and Mary are still considered your family. Since they’ve accepted my bribe,
you are essentially my wife now!”
Felix snorted. “What century are we in? Bribes? Mia never consented to any of this. You better leave,
or we’ll involve the police.”
“Feel free to call the police. The bribe has already been paid. If I can’t reclaim my wife, then perhaps
it’s better for me to end it all right here.”
Seizing a nearby broom, Mia brandished it at Fabian. “Very well, let’s face the consequences together
today!” she asserted.
Frightened, Fabian scrambled away as fast as he could.
Mia finally set aside the broom she had been wielding. Beside her, Felix looked on with amazement.
“Mia, you handled that quite impressively.”
“I’ve dealt with these rural folks before.” Mia replied with a stern expression. “I never expected my
adoptive parents to resort to such underhanded tactics.”
“Mia, don’t worry. Reporting this to the police won’t implicate you; it’s your adoptive parents who are
responsible for taking the money.”
“I understand, but it does create complications for the studio.”

Following Mia’s words, Felix, standing before her, reached out and affectionately patted her head.
“Mia, there’s no need to be so formal. After all, aren’t we friends? Shouldn’t we be here to support
each other?”
Feeling a tad uneasy, Mia took a step back to avoid Felix’s touch. Clearing her throat, she stated, ”
Felix, I’ll get back to work.”
“Sure, go ahead.” Observing Mia’s defiant stance, Felix sighed internally.
It seemed that winning her over was truly challenging. However, it didn’t matter; he had an
abundance of patience.
Sitting at her desk, Mia couldn’t help but recall Fabian, the troublemaker from earlier.
If Bob and Mary were indeed implicated in accepting a ten–thousand–dollar bribe from Fabian, Mia
knew he wouldn’t easily back down.
She was well aware of how persistent rural suitors could be in their pursuit of a spouse.
As Mia wrapped up her work and left the office building, Fabian hurriedly approached her,
reaching out to grab her arm. “Honey, you’re done for the day. Come home with me.”
Mia, already on high alert, swiftly dodged away, casting a wary look at Fabian. “I warn you, stay
away from me. I have no connection with you. Whoever took your money, go seek them out.”
“It was your adoptive parents who accepted my bribe. How can you now deny being my wife?
You’re not contemplating backing out, are you? Let me be crystal clear; it’s not happening!”
“Mia!”
Suddenly, Felix rushed over and stood by her side, offering reassurance, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Without delay, Fabian waved his hand, and several disheveled men emerged from, behind the
nearby bushes. They closed in, surrounding Mia.
