Female Novel
Chapter 957
Raymond elaborated, "I've been working with your family for many years. Guess we can say that we're old friends. Ms. Mia, do you really think
Dominic has a clean record?"
A cold glint glowed in Mia's eyes. Of course, she knew that Dominic didn't have a clean record.
After all, their family almost went bankrupt due to various blows after their parents passed on.
Dominic was the person stabilizing the company's footing until today. He had it rough.
She reckoned he had used many illicit methods in the beginning.
After all, business would always be as fierce as war, a war free from blood.
Mia had never expected Raymond to use this to threaten her, but she actually had it coming. She threatened him with his position as the mayor.
It didn't take her long to regain her composure. Smiling, she responded, "But whatever he does has nothing to do with me."
"Ms. Mia, do you really not care about your brothers’ reputation? Actually, we can make a deal to make peace."
"I refuse.”
"Think about it first, Ms. Mia. Luna did hurt you and your family, almost killing your child. But, fortunately, no one was hurt in the end. We can still talknovelbin
it out nicely, don't you think?"
Mia couldn't help but be impressed by his slick talk. Her gaze shifted to Luna, who wore a triumphant expression, showing no sign of regret.
The sheer sight of that made Mia's blood boil.
Mia took a deep breath. "We'll see who's going to pay the price in the end.”
"Ms. Mia, since you've decided to make things difficult between us, I guess this matter won't be easy to settle.”
Mia noticed the bodyguards by the door before turning her head to look at Raymond. "My secretary knows that I've come to see you. If something
happens to me here, my brothers will never let you get away this easily. You should know what they're capable of doing.
"Meanwhile, if a scandal breaks out at this crucial period, it'll affect your election next year. We're different. Our business might be affected, but we
have enough money for the rest of our life."
Luna smirked. "You'll need to stay alive to spend that money though, no?"
At that moment, Timothy stepped forward to hold Mia's hand. He warned Raymond, "She's my woman. You better think of the aftermath before laying
a finger on her. If you want to confront our families at the same time, you don't stand a chance to win."
Luna glowered, "Timothy Barrett, you're still going to take Mia's side, aren't you? Don't forget that you're on the hook when things get out of control.
Your mother will have to go to prison because of this. Do you want her to spend the rest of her life in prison?"
Raymond glanced at Mia. "Do you want your child's grandmother to be a prisoner? Her friends in school might find out about it and make fun of her.
What are you going to do then?"
Mia was exasperated. How dare they use Ginger to threaten her!
Luna was the villainess who had hurt her family. Why did Mia have to back off in the end?
If it was the past Mia, who didn't have a backer, might choose to back off for her child's sake.
However, nothing scared her now.
She didn't expect to meet Luna today. Let alone finding out that Luna was Raymond's illegitimate daughter.
Things were getting complicated. Not only was Raymond on Luna's side, but he was also threatening Mia as he knew her brothers’ records.
If Mia did anything reckless, things could get out of control.
