But Ethan’s handiwork was always airtight. She couldn’t find a single way out.

‘So, are you going to sign it?” Nina asked, sounding anxious. “Are we still leaving?”

Mia fell silent for a few seconds. Then, she snapped the folder shut. She took a deep breath. “I’m signing. We’re going!”

She grabbed a pen and scrawled her name on the document.

Nina’s voice turned excited. “I’m with you! If you can’t find work, I’ll take care of you… and the baby!”

‘I’ll submit the resignation papers tomorrow. Wait for my good news.”

After signing, Mia felt a weight lift from her heart. Yet, a strange, unidentifiable bitterness still lingered in her

Nina began packing that very night, too happy to sleep.

At the hospital, evening was approaching when Ethan left.

The moment he stepped out, the door to the VIP Ward was pushed open.

What are you doing here?”

axon had his hands in his pockets as he circled the room, finally stopping at the foot of Chloe’s bed.

Chloe, tell me… how exactly did you fall down those stairs?”

I… Mia pushed me, obviously!”

Many people had come to visit Chloe today, and she had told them allthe same story. Otherwise, she’d have to admit she just fell-and that would be humiliating!

What’s your point?”

‘There’s glue on this heel. Someone intentionally broke it and glued it back so it would snap under your weight. Someone was out to get you.”

Jaxon pulled the heel back. “You’ve got a twisted heart, framing Mia like that.”

Chloe’s mind went blank. She had never imagined that someone had actually sabotaged her.

Hearing Jaxon’s last sentence, her anger flared. “What do you mean, ‘framing Mia’? Even if she didn’t push me,

Please!” Jaxon looked at her with pure disdain. “Did those shoes ever even touch her hands?”

Chloe choked on her words.

If you dare to make things difficult for Mia again, I’ll make this public. I’ll expose the fact that you framed her, and I’ll make the entire Bennett family a laughingstock.”

For once, Jaxon wasn’t joking. His expression was vicious.

Chloe gritted her teeth, forcing herself to stay calm. “I’m not making things difficult for her. She’s the one who hose to resign!”
