Chapter 211
+15 BONOS
Timothy and Maya were about to announce their engagement this weekend?
Mia knew it all along, but it somehow stifled her chest to hear it from Shelly.
Gina snorted. “Well, let’s give that bastard and slut our best wishes then. Besides, Mia’s house is going to be
demolished soon. She can find herself a better man at any moment now.”
It was so funny to Shelly that her stomach hurt from laughter. “It’s just a demolition. How can the money
change her circumstances for the better?”
Mia pulled Gina away, leaving the place together before things got physical.
Shelly was the daughter of the Barrett family, not someone they could mess with.
Shelly called Wilhelmina while watching Mia leave. “Hey, I heard Mia’s house is getting demolished. Look into the details for me.”
“Okay.” Wilhelmina hung, feeling the cruelty of fate.
Why did get Mia so lucky to have her house demolished?
It was just unfair!
Mia dragged Gina to another floor. Gina couldn’t understand Mia’s reaction. “What’s worrying you, Mia? I
could’ve torn her mouth apart. You’re going to be rich because of the demolition, and that bitch is just being
jealous.”
Mia sighed. “That’s not jealousy, Gina. It’s mockery.”
“Wait, is your ex–husband that rich?”
Silence hung in the air for a moment before Mia pointed at the advertisement in front of them. “He’s the
president of this company.”
“What? Your ex–husband is Barrett Group’s-” Gina covered her mouth in disbelief. “Mia, how could you keep
this from me?”
“I signed a prenuptial agreement. I’m prohibited from telling anyone about my relationship with him. Besides.
the self–abasement keeps me from revealing it. Thank God I didn’t tell anyone about it. Otherwise, they
would’ve poked fun at me now that I was driven out of the place,” Mia explained.
It took Gina a while to process it all. Eventually, a sigh escaped her lips. “It’s fortunate you’re divorced. You
don’t have to endure the Barrett family’s mistreatment anymore.
“I think Felix is fine. He’s good–looking and has potential. Only people of the same world can last long together.
Mia nodded in agreement. “You’re right. It has to be someone from the same world.” A self–mocking glint flashed in her eyes. “Sorry for ruining your mood, Gina.”

Gina reassured her, “Hey, it’s no big deal. You’re going to hit it big someday, considering your growing reputation. You won’t be trailing behind these rich people. We can be the main characters of a rags–to–riches story!”
They went their separate ways, and Mia returned home.
Since Dominic had taken care of the demolition, Mia’s adoptive parents didn’t have the guts to cause a scene at her place anymore.
Mia could finally have some peace of mind.
She went to work as soon as her lectures finished.
Her colleague approached her. “Mia, are you busy this weekend?”
Mia thought, “The weekend? That’s tomorrow.”
She snapped back to reality. “Yes, I’ve got plenty of free time.”
“Could you cover for me this weekend? Something came up at home, so I need to take a leave.”
“No problem.”
Mia usually spent her weekends at the studio. There were a few colleagues who would do the same.
Since she had no plans, she gladly accepted the request.
It wasn’t the first time anyway.
Felix ordered cups of coffee in the afternoon. “It’s on me. We landed a big client recently.”
Someone asked, “Does that mean we’re pulling overtime this weekend?”
“Bingo. Brace yourselves for the workload in the coming days. You can take turns for leaves after that.”
Felix handed Mia a cup of coffee. “Hope you’re not put off by the news.”
“I’m free this weekend anyway. I’d be a fool not to earn more money when I can.”
She looked at the coffee in front of her. “I don’t like coffee, Felix.”
