Chapter 3
Mia’s eyes flickered, but she quickly regained her composure.
“Who’s really trespassing? You have the nerve to accuse others of your own crime?”
“You say this villa is yours, do you have any proof?“]
I countered: “Do you have any proof?”
I hadn’t expected that one day someone would ask me for such evidence in my own home.
Mia laughed: “Tm in my own home, what proof do I need? This is ridiculous.”
her.[]
The colleagues started to support her.
“That’s right, she’s in her own home, why would she need proof? Do you expect her to show you the property deed?”
“Annic, you’re really going too far. Having you as a colleague is a huge insult.”
“Exactly, I suggest you resign on Monday. Otherwise, how will you face everyone at work in the future?”
I have to say. Mia was quite capable. She had managed to convince so many colleagues to believe her.
I said: “Showing the property deed is not impossible. You say this is your home, right? Then bring out the property deed. If you can produce it, I’ll even apologize to you.”
Of course, I knew Mia couldn’t produce it.
I thought this farce would be over by now, but I didn’t expect Mia to be even more shameless than I imagined.]
When the property deed was mentioned, Mia didn’t panic. She pointed at me, seemingly embarrassed and angry: “You’re being unreasonable. My, my husband keeps our property deed. I don’t know where he put it.”
I sneered: “Is it that you don’t know where it is, or that you don’t have one?“]
Min glared at me: “Of course I have one, but why should I show it to you? Do you think I have to produce my property deed just because some random person asks for it? You’re being ridiculous.”
“Get out, get out of my house right now, or when my husband comes, you’ll be in trouble.“]
The colleagues continued to support Mia.
“That’s right, does someone have to show their property deed just because a random person asks for it?”
“I can’t believe Annie is this kind of person. Let’s see how she’ll face everyone at the company.”
“Shameless people don’t care about these things. They just do things to disgust others. I’ve really learned something today.”
“When the new employee reported yesterday, I thought Annie was quite nice. Now I see she’s just too good at pretending.”
I lost my patience: “Let’s just call the police. Let them come and see whose house this really is and who should leave.”
As I said this, I took out my phone to make the call
Mia panicked and reached out to grab my phone.]
Zoey stood in front of me protectively.
It’s touching to have a friend of many years who truly protects you in critical moments.
Actually, I often exercise abroad and have learned boxing. I’m confident that if it came to a fight, these people wouldn’t stand a chance against me.
But Zoey has always been physically weak since childhood. I was afraid Mia might hurt Zoey, so I had to put down my phone.
“Mommy, who is this bad woman? Why is she saying this is her home when it’s clearly our house?” At this moment, a little girl came to Mia’s side, looking at me innocently.
She was already crying, her voice sounding as pitiful as possible.
My heart sank. Children shouldn’t lie. Could it be that during my time abroad, she had been occupying my home all along?
If that’s the case, it’s very likely that my dad is responsible for this mess.]
But I trust my dad. Just as I was struggling internally, Mia comforted the girl: “It’s okay, sweetie. Don’t cry. This bad woman is just a liar. Our Julia doesn’t like her. Mommy will find a way to make her leave.”
Then Mia looked up at me, gritting her teeth in hatred: “Annie, my daughter really dislikes you. Look, you’ve made the child cry. Do you still have the face to stay in my house?”
I felt that things weren’t that simple. How could she be so confident in claiming this was her home?
Zoey couldn’t stand it anymore: “It’s you who are staying in Annie’s house. You’re the ones who should leave.”
At this moment, the little girl rushed towards me like a madwoman, crying and pushing me, as if trying to push me out of
the house.
But how could her strength move me? Instead, due to using too much force, she fell backwards and hit her head on the
floor.
The girl immediately burst into loud cries, her hands and feet falling wildly, shouting for me to get out of her house.
es.“]
Mia looked around at everyone: “You all sa
all saw it. This woman even beats children. You are
re all witnesses.”
Those colleagues all chimed in: “Mrs. Lewis, we saw it with our own eyes. This vicious woman pushed your daughter to the ground. We can’t let her get away with this.”
“That’s right, we can’t let her escape. She must pay the price for her vanity.“]
“The child’s head hit the floor just now. If the child is really hurt, it’s a lifelong matter. In my opinion, this kind of woman should be sent to jail. Don’t let her harm others anymore.”
“She should pay compensation, make her bankrupt, become a laughing stock. Let’s see if she still pretends…”
The colleagues were all speaking one after another, giving Mia ideas, seemingly wanting to push me to the brink.]
Looking at the child’s cries and how her head had hit the floor, even though this child wasn’t likable, she was still a child. My heart was a bit worried.]
Hearing their words, I explained: “The child fell on her own. I didn’t push her. It’s quite brazen to try to scam someone in their own home.“]
Mia helped the child up and snorted coldly: “Annie, my daughter is hurt, and you’re still trying to shirk responsibility?”
I shook my head: “When a child is injured, shouldn’t you take her to the hospital first? It seems you don’t really care about the child at all. I’m even starting to doubt if she’s really your child.”
Mia glared at me with wide eyes: “Your excuses are useless. My own daughter, I’ll decide what to do. After all, we are colleagues, we’ll be seeing each other often. I can give you a chance. If you get down on all fours and bark like a dog as you leave, I’ll let you off the hook today.”
