Married to a Secret Billionaire (Stella Taylor) novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Danger on the Mountain

Mia also hoped that she was overthinking things.

However, her ability to remember everything she saw was something she had developed since high school.

And she was not face-blind.

Although the nurse was wearing a big mask, her gaze would not change.

Mia became more and more suspicious and whispered to remind Stella, "In any case, be cautious. We still don't know if she is really Miss Martinez!"

Stella widened her eyes in surprise.

"What I mean is... you can't let your guard down!"

"But, Mia." After a while, Stella said in a daze, "If she is really pretending to be Miss Martinez, what is her motive for getting close to me? What's more, the charity banquet last time was specifically organized for her, and her identity was personally confirmed by Amelia!"

"Even if she fooled me, could she fool the Taylor family and everyone else?"

"Your sister is an idiot. Do you really trust her?" Mia laughed. "She always makes mistakes, like mistaking the CEO of that shell company!"

Stella bit her lip and remained silent.

"Stella, I really have your best interests at heart!" Mia spoke her mind readily, "Alas, you're great in every way, except that you're too sincere and single-minded towards people! Although Audrey saved you, it doesn't mean you have to owe her and be completely devoted to her!"

"Just like you and Liam..." She paused. "Although he is your husband, you should still have some reservations and not give your whole heart away! People can have hidden intentions! What if something unexpected happens to your marriage and you end up in a terrible situation? How will you live then?"

"Mia, what are you talking about?"

Stella suddenly looked up.

Her piercing gaze made Mia blush.

Mia might be straightforward, but what she said was too harsh...

"Mia." Stella furrowed her brows. "I know you have my best interests at heart, but weren't we just talking about Audrey? Why are we bringing Liam into this?"

"Your bias against him will never go away, will it?"

"Stella, I..."

"You're my most important friend, but why do you have to judge my marriage like this and meddle in the affairs of the person I like?"

Stella's breathing became slightly rapid. She was somewhat mad and disappointed.

Even if the relationship between friends was close, boundaries should not be crossed.

Mia took two steps back, her face not looking good.

But she didn't have the courage to apologize.

Stella glanced at her, bypassed her, and went straight back to the office. Mia wanted to stop her, opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single syllable.

......

The next day was a weekend, and Mia went up the mountain alone.

She remembered the college days when Stella would accompany her to climb the mountains every weekend. They almost went to every mountain in Eldoria.

But now, she was all alone.

Mia was regretful. That day, she was too impulsive. Wasn't she cursing Stella with those words?

But she still couldn't let go of her pride to apologize to Stella.

Whether in school or later in the workplace, she was always the dominant one. How could she easily bow down to others?

Anyway, Stella already had Miss Martinez now and would no longer be good friends with her.

The more Mia thought about it, the more depressed she became. Her footsteps unconsciously quickened as she pushed herself up the mountain with her trekking pole. However, halfway up the mountain, she stumbled and instantly lost her balance, falling into the dense forest, hitting her head, and feeling dizzy.

Then a sharp pain came from her ankle.
