Mia glanced at Luna, then quickly covered her mouth, faking a smile. "Shelly, let's not say things like that. We wouldn't want to upset Ms. Maynard.""Luna is incredibly understanding; she won't take offense," Shelly insisted.Mia couldn't help but notice Luna struggling to maintain her composure."I understand, but for individuals like us who casually indulge in luxury items, bags and shoes are merely superficial possessions. Ms. Maynard seems to attach excessive importance to them," Mia remarked.Shelly readily agreed, "Exactly. For people from more modest backgrounds, a luxury item could represent their entire year's salary, so they tend to attach great significance to it."A hint of bitterness flashed in Luna's eyes. Despite her inner turmoil, she forced a composed expression and inquired, "Shelly, how is Grandma Laura's condition?""They're still doing everything they can to save her. It's difficult to predict when it will all be over," Shelly replied.Glancing at the time,

Upon seeing Luna, Mia remained unfazed.Considering Luna's jealous reaction to Timothy agreeing to date Mia, it was apparent that she wouldn't readily accept it, given her temperament.Mia calmly washed her hands, stealing a glance at Luna in the mirror. "If you have something to say, say it now. Our paths may not cross again once I leave. After all, we're from different social classes."This remark struck Luna's insecurity, prompting her to raise her voice, "Who do you think you are? You put on this facade of wealth and virtue, but who knows, perhaps you've gained your riches by cozying up to men."Mia couldn't help but express her disdain with a click of her tongue. "Luna, perhaps you should take a good look at yourself in the mirror and see how unattractive jealousy makes you."You act all high and mighty, yet why do you insist on flaunting designer labels from head to toe? Even when your clothing starts to show signs of wear, it seems you're reluctant to replace them, don't yo

Deep down, Timothy couldn't shake off his suspicions about Monalize.She bore an uncanny resemblance to Mia, with a mysterious background and a personality entirely distinct from Mia's.Clearing his throat, Caleb spoke up, "Tim, you're thinking she might be Mia, right? Frankly, I had my doubts too when she agreed to supply you with reishi mushrooms without asking for anything in return."Despite any animosity Mia might have toward you, she shares a strong bond with Mrs. Barrett Senior. Mia certainly wouldn't stand by if anything were to happen to her."Timothy pursed his lips. He didn't dismiss Caleb's observations. He, too, found the situation perplexing.If Monalize was indeed Mia, then everything would start to fall into place.Caleb smirked knowingly. "Ah, so that's why a certain someone readily agreed to the condition of dating. It seems he had his suspicions from the start."Timothy maintained his composure, hands tucked casually into his pockets. "You talk too much."Cal

Mia's expression betrayed a hint of surprise. She struggled to believe that Timothy had sent these gifts.On the other hand, Ginger's eyes lit up when she saw the presents. Taking small steps, she hurried toward the gift boxes, her small stature looking even tinier beside the large stuffed toy.Mia's gaze lingered on the gifts, her face reflecting a mix of emotions. What was Timothy's motive behind this gesture?Initially, Ginger was delighted as she held the gifts, but upon glancing at Mia, a hint of hesitation flickered across her expression. Reluctantly, she placed the gifts back.Mia watched as Ginger gently patted her chubby hands. Keeping a composed demeanor, Ginger asked, "Mommy, do you like these gifts?"Upon hearing Ginger's question, Mia couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. She had noticed the joy in Ginger's eyes, and her subconscious reaction couldn't be hidden from anyone.Initially, Mia had been perplexed by Ginger's sudden fondness for Timothy, but now it appeare

Timothy's swift intervention promptly stabilized the situation.Observing his opponent's screen, Timothy's lips curled into a cold smirk before initiating a counterattack.Nonetheless, the hacker displayed no intention of relenting. The confrontation persisted within the company's internal systems, with both sides refusing to yield.The staff in the technical department exchanged uncertain looks, puzzled by the unfolding situation.Paul McKenna, the technical manager, wiped his forehead as he suggested, "Perhaps it's best for us to step back; this matter no longer concerns us."It felt like a clash of titans; individuals of their caliber had no reason to involve themselves in such affairs.A spirited young staff member from the technical department voiced his surprise, "Mr. McKenna, I had no idea Mr. Barrett was a computer whiz. Between him and you, who do you think is more impressive?"Paul sighed wistfully. "Ah, in my younger days, I was just as brash and full of energy as you
