“Apologize!” Hunter said, his voice dark as he touched the spot on his face where she had slapped him. 

He had intended to punish her severely just moments ago. But seeing Mia’s pained expression had softened that urge, pushing it back down. Deep down, he didn’t want to make her suffer. 

Mia bit her lip. She didn’t feel she was in the wrong and had no desire to apologize. 

“Apologize. Don’t make me say it again,” Hunter repeated, his tone harsher. He wasn’t looking for a simple “sorry“, he wanted her to yield. 

Summer quickly pulled Mia aside, bowing toward Hunter. “I’ll apologize on her behalf. I’m sorry.” She didn’t know if this would be enough to make him let Mia off the hook. 

Mia was deeply moved, her eyes reddening with emotion. Summer had stepped up to apologize for her, worried that Hunter might make things difficult. But Summer hadn’t fully considered the kind of man Hunter was. If he decided to turn his anger on her, she might not walk away unscathed. 

Taking a breath, Mia gently moved Summer aside and stood before Hunter, speaking urgently, “Don’t take this out on Summer. She has nothing to do with it. Hunter, I’ll apologize. I’m sorry!” 

Jenna gave a slight, mocking smile. “Miss Scott, you and Mia really are close friends, aren’t you? Even helping her apologize. If Hunter told you to die for her, would you do it too?” She directed her words at Summer, laced with sarcasm. 

To her, friendships among high–society women were superficial at best, and she didn’t believe Summer ⚫ and Mia were truly close. 

Hunter’s dark gaze shifted to Mia, his tone laced with sarcasm as he laughed softly. “That’s what you call an apology?” 

Summer, knowing Jenna’s intent to provoke Hunter against Mia, quickly interjected, “If Mr. Jasper asked me to die for Mia, I’d do it without hesitation!” After all, Mia had saved her life, and she would willingly return the favor if it came to that. 

Mia’s eyes filled with tears, and she gripped Summer’s hand tightly. “You’re so foolish,” she murmured softly. She understood how deeply Summer cared for her, but she couldn’t bear to let her friend suffer on 

her behalf. 

Nearby, bystanders started whispering. 

“Isn’t that the well–known divorce lawyer from Haven City? What’s her name again?” 

“Her name’s Mia Smith. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also the star of HH Law Firm!” 

“You’d think a divorce lawyer who’s seen countless affairs would be able to handle a situation like this. But she looks totally pinned by the other woman, nothing like the fierce attorney we see in court.” 

“Guess even divorce lawyers can’t save their own marriages, just like doctors can’t always cure themselves.”
