Seeing that Mia was interested, the associate added, “Two other customers looked at it earlier and said they might come back for it.”
“I’ll take it.” Mia opened her bag, reaching for her phone to pay.
Suddenly, a hand holding a black card reached past her and thrust it toward the associate.
“I’ll take this crib.”
Mia looked up and immediately saw Serena Woods’ bold red nails.
The associate hesitated. “Uh… this lady was just about to buy it.”
Serena scoffed. “About to buy it isn’t the same as actually buying it. She hasn’t paid yet.”
“This…” The associate looked conflicted.
‘Mrs. Gallagher Jr., a ‘cheap’ crib like this shouldn’t even be on your radar. There’s no need to waste your money just to spite me.”
The crib cost $8,000. Mia felt a small pang in her wallet at the price, but to the Gallagher family, an $80,000 crib would be pocket change. Serena was clearly doing this just to mess with her.
‘Why would you say that?” Serena shoved the card into the associate’s hand and flashed a fake smile at Mia. “I’m buying it as a gift for you.”
Mia froze.
‘Go process the payment. Have this crib delivered to Miss Carter’s home.”
Serena gave the associate a pointed look. The associate realized what was happening, took the card, and headed to he front desk.
No need,” Mia said, trying to stop her, but Serena blocked her path.
Think of this as compensation for the scandal I caused. But don’t expect another apology. After all, the media didn’t
get it wrong. If my mother-in-law hadn’t told me to make nice with you, I wouldn’t even be talking to you.”
Serena’s face was twisted in a sneer. Her large pregnant belly looked like it was about to burst. She rested her hands on it, looking incredibly arrogant.
‘I have no idea what my mother-in-law thinks she owes you to make me humble myself like this, but this is just for show. I’m carrying twins-the first sons and grandsons of the Gallagher family. Even if you’re angry, you’ll just have to suck it up…”
Actually, Serena showing her ugly side felt much more natural to Mia.
Mia stopped trying to prevent the associate from paying.
‘Mrs. Gallagher Jr., you truly are the definition of securing your position through your children. Your personality might be lacking, but your womb is certainly productive. You’re quite bold with your nonsense. Since that’s the case, I’ll thank you for your ‘kindness’.”

She tucked her phone away just as the associate returned with the card and the receipt.
Ma’am, please leave your address here.”
The associate handed Mia a blank slip of paper. Mia took it and began writing.
An $8,000 crib for a simple ‘thank you? You really are cheap. You clearly haven’t seen much of the world…”
Serena had wanted to see Mia suffer through the insult of being forced to accept the gift. Instead, Mia accepted it
almly, as if it were her due, which only made Serena angrier.
Mia, if you ask me, that baby in your belly is pathetic. You can’t even afford a decent crib. Doesn’t your conscience hurt? How does an orphan like you have the nerve-or the right-to be a single mother? Didn’t you have enough of a hard life growing up? Do you want your child to experience that misery all over again?”
Mia’s hand paused. She handed the completed address to the associate and looked at Serena.
Character is more important than material things. I’m far more worried for the two children in your womb. I hope they don’t grow up to be as bitter and sharp-tongued as you.”
You-“Serena pointed a finger at her. “You pathetic woman! How dare you look down on me and my children?
Before she could finish, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind Mia.
The man stood with his hands in his pockets, staring Serena down. “Spoken like a true Gallagher laughter-in-law. You certainly talk big, but my people aren’t pathetic.”
