Actually, Kristina Kingston was standing at the upstairs bedroom window watching Mia Lane leave. She wasn’t going to stop her; Mia would definitely come back anyway. As she stepped out of Clearwater Bay, Mia felt there was sugar in the air, exceptionally sweet! Her mood instantly improved. She hailed a ride to Sunshine Village and soon returned to the city. She wanted to buy a cup of bubble tea, find a quiet corner to sit for a while, and ponder about life. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Hailey Hale walking out of the mall, and Hailey immediately spotted her. "Mia Lane?! Ahhhhhh!!" Follow current novels on novel·fiɾe·net Hailey bounded towards her as if she had discovered a treasure! Mia was startled and took two steps back. Hailey quickly halted, "What are you doing here? Long time no see!" As her gaze fell on Mia’s right cheek, Hailey immediately withdrew her smile, "What happened to your face?" She was full of surprise and concern. "Huh?" Mia felt shocked. Was it that obvious? Could it be seen at a glance? "Tell me, did Justin Kingston abuse you?" Hailey’s eyes burned with anger, "Did he hit you? Why do you look so worn out? What exactly happened?" "No, no, it’s not!" Mia grabbed her arm, "Keep your voice down!" There were people coming and going around them. At this moment, on the high-definition screen outside the mall, an advertisement ended, revealing scenes from Miss Alice, daughter of successful businessman Ed, and her coming-of-age celebration for the first time! The sweet voice of the news anchor echoed out, capturing the attention of everyone around, who stopped to watch the screen. Mia and Hailey were among them. The scene was truly grand, the vast castle estate looked fairy-tale beautiful under aerial photography, delivering a visual shock. Next, the news anchor said— "Justin Kingston, President of Kingston Group, attended the coming-of-age celebration with the Group’s Vice President Monica Usher, becoming a major highlight, along with two adorable children. This is a high-profile business couple; CEO Kingston once said Monica Usher is highly competent and an indispensable right-hand woman. Photographers captured warm and touching moments at random, though she isn’t the mother of the children. The following photos look very much like a family of four and have sparked major discussions in foreign media." Then, the screen began to play the photos one after another. One by one, they fell into Mia’s sight — how did this not look like a family of four? Clearly, it seemed just like a blissful family of four. Everyone in the photos was smiling, even the children looked so happy. "What does he mean by this?!" Hailey was impatient to finish watching, her beautiful eyes smoldering with fury, "Is he playing two-timing games?" As she spoke, she rummaged in her bag for her phone, "I have to ask clear questions! Damn scumbag!" "Hailey!" Mia calmly grabbed her wrist, "You misunderstood; this is the media’s misinterpretation. To get more views, the media loves stirring up trouble." "There are photos, and you call this stirring trouble?" Hailey couldn’t stay calm, "They captured this much, what about what isn’t captured? Who knows if they are sharing a bed for four during the night!" Mia analyzed for her, "Does he bring children when two-timing? They took leave from kindergarten; he requested it, and he took them. If he really liked Monica Usher, why hasn’t he married her at age 38?" "..." That makes sense. Mia added, "If there really was something between them, they would have been together long ago; would they leave it to me?" "..." That also makes sense. "Then what happened to your face?" Hailey noticed it at once, her heart aching, "And your mouth corner, even with concealer, it can’t completely cover the bruises." "Is it very evident?" Mia worried, for Justin Kingston was returning tomorrow. "Tell me quickly!" She was anxious, pursuing the question, "How did it happen? Did it have anything to do with him? Tell me who bullied you! I’ll make him pay!"
