Female Novel
Chapter 1013
Mia was surprised to see Sharon. After all, the last time they had met was at Jasmine's charity dinner, and they hadn't kept in touch since.
Mia hadn't paid any attention to what had happened with Ralph and that family since it didn't concern her. But she didn't expect Sharon to storm toward her.
Jasmine felt awkward when she saw Sharon. She knew Sharon was Mia's former mother-in-law and that she had invited Sharon to the charity dinner in Nord City, as her father had suggested. Raymond wanted to build rapport with the Barrett family. However, Jasmine didn't know about her father's connection with Luna or his plan to use Asher to win over the Barretts at that time.
If she had known, she wouldn't have gone along with it so easily and wouldn't have let the Barretts come near Mia to cause trouble.
Mia looked at Sharon and said, "I don't think there's anything left to discuss. We settled everything a long time ago, right?" Seeing that Sharon hadn't left Nord City and appeared poised for confrontation, Mia had already surmised the topic of conversation. Sharon took a deep breath and glanced at Jasmine. She said softly, "Ms. Shelbert, could you give us a moment alone?" Jasmine nodded and looked at Mia. "I'll go in and order first."
Mia turned to Sharon and asked, "What do you want to talk about? I don't have much time." She wasn't interested in talking to Sharon.
Sharon's expression flickered with a mix of emotions. Then, she pleaded, "Could you help me, Mia? Ralph had been detained and couldn't be bailed out. As one of the top elite families in Nord City, could you use your influence to get him out?"
Mia wasn't surprised by her request. She had guessed Sharon wanted to talk about Ralph, but she couldn't tell if Sharon was feigning ignorance or genuinely clueless. How could she have the audacity to ask for such a favor?

So, Mia responded indifferently, "I won't help you with this. Your
brother conspired with the Bowl net
famity to spread lies about us Why would I help an enemy?" S
"Mia, my brother was misled, too. He didn't know about their bad reputation in Nord City."
"Do you know what you're talking about? Or do you think I'm gullible enough to be swayed by a few words?"
Mia took a few steps forward, then
glanced back at Sharon.
"Remember, I've given you a week. If
you're stin Nord City by then, the
police will escort you back. Think about whether you'll have the courage to face everyone in Bern City after that."
"Mia, how can you be so cruel? Do you really want to see me dead?"novelbin
"Yes, if that's what it takes for you to face reality. I'm not a saint or a good person. I gave you a chance, and if you don't take it, that's on you."
Mia was ready to leave. She didn't want to talk to Sharon anymore.
"Mia, are you trying to push me over the edge? If you're upset, take it out on me, not my family."
"Hey, what's all the commotion about? I didn't expect to walk in on a spectacle while grabbing a bite."
Luna, dressed in designer clothes and carrying a branded bag, sauntered over. She looked at Sharon and Mia smugly.
