CHAPTER 20: CHAPTER 20: WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT LADY JING IS LIKE THIS

Mia Lane recalled last night when Justin Kingston suspected her of copying Emma’s work and carefully thought over their conversation.

Did he believe it or not?

Has this man completely given up on his own marriage?

Does he really plan to be tied to her for life?

Only when a pair of red high heels caught her eye did Mia slowly come back to her senses, lifting her gaze to the owner of the shoes.

It was a face both unfamiliar and aloof. Monica Usher looked down at her, her cold and alluring eyes holding a trace of hostility as she stared at her so coldly.

Mia looked over to see a dazzling red Bentley parked not far away. How did she get in?

"Had enough of your act?" Monica Usher’s gaze shifted as she asked, sarcastically, "Do you really think a village chief from a poverty-stricken area can turn into a swan?"

Such animosity and jealousy!

One of Justin Kingston’s admirers?

Mia held herself with quiet elegance like the roses behind her, her pink lips slightly curved, ignoring her.

Monica’s eyes deepened, "Mia Lane, right?" A look of disdain flashed in her eyes, "I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I know exactly what Justin is thinking."

Mia remained calm and composed, "Then tell me, I’m all ears."

"Justin isn’t interested in women. Business always comes first for him."

"And then?"

Monica spoke with mockery, "The scandal with you is just his way of opposing Mrs. Kingston; he simply doesn’t want to get married!"

Mia casually sipped her ginger tea, smiling gently, not taking these words to heart.

As if she was so eager to marry.

Her indifferent attitude angered Monica, "I’m talking to you!"

Sitting on the swing, Mia looked up, "I know."

"Did you hear what I said?!"

The more Monica lost her temper, the calmer Mia became.

Isn’t this just trying to provoke her? To make her angry? She refused to be!

So Mia gently put down her bone china cup, smiling as she asked her, "Which village’s chief are you then? Do you live by the sea to have such wide control?"

"You..." Monica’s eyes flashed.

"What reaction do you expect from me?" Mia shook her head with a smile, her gaze bright as she looked at her, "Have you ever heard... of someone bitten by a dog biting back?"

Monica was furious, raising her hand to slap Mia!

Mia stood up and grabbed her wrist! Her delicate hand raised high in mid-air!

The butler, who had just stepped out of the living room, saw this scene and rushed over anxiously!

Mia applied more pressure with her fingers, seeing the woman’s pupils contract from the pain.

"Let go! Release me!" she gritted through her teeth in pain.

"If you mess with me, you won’t end well." Mia pushed her hard, causing Monica to stagger back several steps, almost twisting her ankle in her high heels.

She actually knew martial arts? This surprised Monica.

"I’m having a backache today, won’t play with you anymore." Mia glanced at her, then looked at the sheets drying not far away, a slight smile on her lips, "Justin’s stamina is too good, kept me up all night, messed up the sheets, I have to catch up on some sleep."

Looking at Monica, Mia added with a hint of warning, "If him marrying me angers you, go vent your anger on him!"

"Stop right there!" Monica was fuming, "The backache is probably a chronic condition from working too long in the fields, right?! Do you think wearing an evening gown makes you a princess?! A peasant woman is always a peasant woman! You’re not worthy of him!"

"I’m not worthy, but he’s already married me, what can you do?" Mia walked with pride, not looking back as she entered the living room.

"You...!!"

The butler quickly came to Monica, "President Usher." The situation also took him by surprise.

The always high and cold and beautiful Monica Usher regained her senses and realized she had lost her composure, all thanks to that woman!

"Butler Shelby, what exactly is the relationship between her and Justin Kingston? How could they be together?" Monica struggled to control her emotions, "I just left for two years, how could they have a child? This is all a fraud, isn’t it? Why didn’t you stop them?"

"President Usher, I cannot comment on matters regarding Mr. Kingston and his wife." Butler Shelby replied calmly, "With what you’ve done today, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to visit Emerald Cove again."
