All Chapters of Scorned Wife No More: A Queen Pampered by Three Tycoons: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Mary's antics reduced Mia's voice to a whisper. "Let's discuss this outside.""Uh-huh, I don't want to. Let's sort things out in front of your colleagues. About why you don't wanna help us. Back when you were on the brink of death in the orphanage, we were the ones who adopted and raised you. "And you're not acknowledging us as your parents? How could you be this ungrateful?" Mary had fully unleashed her potential in mixing truth with fabrications, hurling backlashes against Mia.Meanwhile, Bob, who played the role of an honest family man, recounted to the watching colleagues, "We're at our wit's end. Raising Mia took up a lot of our savings. But now she's avoiding us when we need money."Mia shot a cold stare at her brazen adoptive parents. "You didn't pay for my studies."Mary whined, "How ungrateful of you! Who else could have paid for your studies other than us, Mia? You won so many cash prizes and have a decently paid job, but now you refuse to give us even a cent of it."At that

Mia double-checked the caller's name on her phone—it was indeed Timothy.Perplexed, she mused, "Why on earth is he calling me? Could he have dialed the wrong number?"The persistent ringing prompted her to answer reluctantly, "What do you want, Mr. Barrett?""Your adoptive parents tracked down the villa and demanded money from me."Mia was mortified, and a wave of embarrassment surged through her. "Drive them out. Don't give them a single penny.""Deal with it yourself. I'm busy," he curtly replied before ending the call. After tidying up her belongings, Mia hailed a cab to the villa. Standing before the house, memories flooded her mind. After all, she hadn't visited the place since moving out.A brief hesitation hung in the air before she pressed the doorbell.The heated argument inside was audible even before the door opened. It seemed like her adoptive parents weren't alone—Sharon's voice joined the fray.Mia's heart sank to the pit of her stomach as she wondered why Sharon woul

Mia couldn't help but chuckle at Sharon's surprised expression. Truth be told, Timothy had only used that claim to brush off Mia's adoptive parents, who had showed up looking for cash.Mia didn't expect him to turn it into a retort against Sharon, without any hint of respect.His gaze was shifted to Mia the next second, causing a hitch in her breath.She thought it was weird of him to look at her since she wasn't the one who said that. Timothy questioned her coldly, "Why did you transfer 100 thousand dollars to me?"Mia was taken aback by his question. "I was repaying your mother. Since I didn't have her contact, I transferred it to you. Please help me transfer it to your mother."He glanced at Sharon. "What happened?""Tim, Mia's adoptive parents came seeking money. I gave them 100 thousand dollars to get rid of them. It's not that much anyways," Sharon answered nonchalantly.His brows furrowed. "You shouldn't have done that."He knew that Mia's adoptive parents were opportunistic.

Mia didn't expect to bump into the duo at the airport. Judging by their lack of luggage, she doubted they were here for a trip.She wondered if they were here to pick someone up.The arrogant Shelly remarked, "What are the odds? Why do we see you everywhere we go?"Mia replied indifferently, "I have the same question."The trio entered the airport, heading to the waiting area on the first floor.Maya glanced at Mia. "Picking someone up too?"Shelly grinned. "I bet she is. Her salary only allows her to travel by train and cab. How could she afford a flight ticket? It's expensive."Mia's eyelid twitched. "Are you sure you've had an education? Why is your maturity equivalent to that of an elementary kid? Does taking a flight fan your ego that much?""Who are you calling an elementary kid, Mia Bowen? I graduated from a prestigious university, unlike you who quit school," Shelly snapped back, her ego clearly bruised. "Oh, does buying a certificate from a random college count too? I think y

Connor glanced at his phone before answering the call, "Yes?""Connor, did you know that Dominic and Eva flew back today?" Maya questioned. "Really? I had no clue." He sensed Maya's attempt to pry information, but he remained tight-lipped. Eva had discreetly updated the others that Mia picked the couple up from the airport without anyone's knowledge, narrowly avoiding Maya.Connor had no intention of letting Maya in on the secret.Meanwhile, Maya was still waiting in the parking lot. Time ticked by but there was no sight of Dominic and Eva. Maya sensed that something was off. Still on the phone with Connor, she asked him, her voice tinged with suspicion, "You seriously didn't know?""I've been swamped with work. How would I know?""Dominic and Eva are really here! I was a bit late to the airport, so I didn't manage to pick them up. Call them and ask where they are so we can have a meal together. They're going to attend my engagement ceremony. I need to thank them properly."Connor f
