Kristina Kingston appeared at the entrance of the pharmaceutical research room. Mia Lane had just finished a call with Justin Kingston and put away her phone. As she turned around, she saw Kristina Kingston walking in.
She had the look of someone ready to confront, and it was unclear what she was holding in her hand.
Kristina Kingston stopped in front of Mia, staring at her with a dark, intense gaze.
Before Mia could finish her question, Kristina swung her hand forcefully, throwing the agreement at her face!
Mia caught the papers, and when she saw the contents, she looked at Kristina in disbelief, "You went to Emerald Cove?"
"I did." Her eyes glistened with a piercing coldness, and she raised her chin, "I cleared out all your stuff."
"..." Mia frowned slightly.
"Explain this to me clearly!" Kristina glared at her angrily, "You really have the nerve, demanding ten billion from my son! Forcing him to write an agreement! Why don’t you just force him to make a will?!"
"..." Mia was too weak to argue back.
Kristina snatched the agreement from her hand, tore it into shreds in anger, and then flung them forcefully!
It was as if snowflakes filled the air, landing on Mia’s hair, shoulders, clothes, and shoes...
Mia felt deep sorrow inside, unsure how to explain without further provoking her.
So she chose to remain silent.
A loud slap landed on her right cheek, with full force applied!
The crisp sound was accompanied by pain tenfold that of the previous night!
Automatically, Mia raised her hand to cover her face, turned to the floor-to-ceiling window to steady herself from nearly falling, the taste of blood spread in her mouth, and it seemed like her teeth were loosened...
But the physical pain paled in comparison to the pain in her heart.
Yes, her heart ached, on behalf of Justin Kingston.
"I thought your love for him was so sacred!" Kristina’s gaze was as sharp as a sword, "Giving birth to two of his children and raising them alone! Seeming to be indifferent to fame and fortune, but the moment you open your mouth, it’s ten billion! And you have the nerve to feign deep affection in front of me?!"
Mia looked at the pieces of the agreement scattered on the floor, her head spinning from the hit, "I didn’t." Her head buzzed, but she looked up and said, "I didn’t ask for it from him, he offered it himself."
"Is he gullible and rich?" Kristina sneered, completely disbelieving her, "Such a crafty woman! I know how important I am to Justin. In order to cure me, he once sought doctors everywhere! Even if someone asked for the entire Kingston Group, he would give it without hesitation!"
"Ha!" Kristina scoffed, "Too bad no one has that ability."
Would he really give the Kingston Group? Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel~fire~net
It turned out Kristina’s position in Justin’s heart surpassed Mia’s imagination.
Mia smiled slightly, "So now can you be at ease, there’s no agreement. Can you rest easy and accept my treatment now?" She must cure Kristina as Justin’s wish!
Kristina also wanted to recover, but she absolutely hated this hypocritical woman in front of her!
Mia’s appearance disrupted her original plans!
Made herself lose face in front of Monica Usher and her son!
A car stopped in the courtyard.
Mary came upstairs to report shortly after, "Ma’am, Dr. Shelby has arrived."
Kristina glanced at the scattered paper fragments on the floor, not panicking. She glanced again at the woman with blood on her lips, let out a cold snort, and turned to leave!
Mary at the doorway was dumbfounded at the sight.
Why did the Madam act again?
As Kristina passed by her, Mary turned to follow her, whispering nervously, "Madam, please don’t hit people. Mr. Kingston will be back soon."
But Kristina had a fire in her heart and no outlet!
About five minutes passed.
Mia saw Ian Shelby exit the living room and get into the car, watching the car drive away...
Her eyes dimmed, she squatted down hugging her knees by the window, feeling utterly exhausted.
She always believed if people don’t offend her, she wouldn’t offend others, but if people sought trouble with her, they wouldn’t end well.
She once helped Gigi fight with a classmate’s parent in kindergarten, and it wasn’t just once or twice, she never suffered losses!
But now, as a doctor, professional ethics told her she couldn’t bicker with a patient.
Especially since the patient was Justin’s mother, his own mother...
Aeridia, a beautiful castle estate.
In a luxuriously decorated suite, Monica Usher was enjoying a delicate afternoon tea when she heard a knock at the door, she looked up.
She saw several beautifully dressed young maidservants pushing a row of mobile racks into the room.
The racks were filled with various gorgeous gowns.
She stood up in amazement, "..." Did they enter the wrong room?
"Ms. Usher." The blue-eyed maid smiled with envy, "I have good news for you: tonight, you will be endorsing the debut work of a diamond ring designed by Ms. Alice and Mr. Kingston."
