Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 525

Chapter 525 Premeditated Provocation Mia's words drew everyone's attention.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of relief.

Seeing that Arthur hosted this, Mia was the true elite here.

This was the second time I had seen Mia, and both times, she had come to my rescue.

I wasn't afraid of dealing with this woman, but I didn't want any unpleasantness around me. That would be a disgrace to Atlas. After all, whether in public or private, I was Atlas's woman.

The feisty woman shot a fierce look at Mia.

Mia's words, though not heavy, were exact. They left the sharp-tongued woman utterly defeated.

She stood before the crowd, nearly naked, with just three pieces of fabric covering the essentials. If this wasn't low-class, what was it? "Who the hell are you? How dare you come looking for trouble?" The woman glared at Mia, her tone sharp.

Mia had been studying abroad and had only recently returned to Foswood, so few people truly knew her. I only knew this from the crash course Lauren gave me after meeting Mia at the celebration held by ATL Empire.

With an air of arrogance, Mia glanced at the woman. She then looked at Liora and the others enjoying the spectacle.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you pay attention to your image. This is a formal occasion, not a nightclub. Don't prance around like a showgirl. Otherwise, you better roll back into the water before you scorch someone's eyes!" Mia seemed to be one tough nut, scolding without using a single curse word. Impressive! I almost burst out laughing. Her description was remarkably accurate.

Laughter and sneers of agreement echoed from the surrounding crowd.

The woman, evidently combative, took a step toward Mia. "What did you say? You'd better listen well. If you're in cahoots with her, I advise you to have some sense."

"Then let's see what you're going to do." Mia stood her ground, fearless.

The woman wiped the water from her face and spat it, coughing. Once she caught her breath, she pointed a finger at Mia and yelled, "You wretch! How dare you lay your hands on me? Someone, come—"" I glanced at the direction she was pointing to. A few wealthy heirs were leisurely spectating. She pointed at them in hysteria. "Are you all blind? Didn't you see I was attacked? Branson, didn't you see someone laid hands on me?" A red-haired youngster with a thick gold chain around his neck took bold strides toward us, swearing as he walked.

"Do you guys have a death wish, huh?

How dare you hit her? Do you know who she is? Ah?" The youngster bellowed as he approached.

However, just as he was about to get closer, a staff member standing by the poolside suddenly delivered a sidekick.

The swift and seamless move showed that this was no ordinary staff member.

In an instant, the red-haired youngster, much like the earlier obstinate woman, was dramatically propelled backward, flying through the air and landing with a splash back into the pool.
