Chapter 447
Fortunately, Serena Woods had sent plenty of screenshots back then specifically to provoke Mia Carter.
Mia had found it annoying and blocked Serena, but she hadn’t deleted the chat history. Now, they were finally coming in handy.
As the screenshots popped up one after another, Miranda Hale scrolled through them. Her face gradually turned a sickly shade of green.
They were all petty, underhanded tricks. Chloe Bennett’s behavior made Miranda feel a stinging sense of embarrassment.
“Ms. Hale, regardless of whatever issues exist between Mr. Hale and Ms. Bennett, I hope I won’t be dragged into them. Whether Ms. Bennett’s ultimate goal in involving you was to take her anger out on me or to force Mr. Hale back to Northbrook, I’m an outsider. I shouldn’t be caught in the middle of this. I hope you can be merciful and
let me go.”
Mia’s voice was steady, her words clear and deliberate.
Toby couldn’t sit still anymore. He began squirming in his stroller, babbling and pointing toward something in the
distance.
“If it’s possible, I’d like to quit this job too,” Mia added. “A termination agreement would be much more appealing to me than a $50 million check.”
Her dark, clear eyes were filled with absolute sincerity.
Miranda’s rage was shattered by this firm, blunt honesty. She could only watch as Mia pushed the stroller away
and left.
Half an hour later, at Chloe Bennett’s residence.
Miranda had called before arriving. Seeing Miranda’s car pull up, Chloe immediately got up to open the door.
“Mrs. Hale, you’re back?”
Chloe hurried forward and took Miranda’s bag.
Noticing Miranda’s grim expression, her tone softened slightly, “Did the conversation not go well? I haven’t had much contact with Mia, but she gives me the impression of being very shrewd. Now that she has leverage, she must be difficult to deal with…”
“She is indeed difficult to deal with,” Miranda interjected. She scrutinized Chloe. “You made me lose a great of face in front of Mia.”
Chloe blinked. “Wh-What happened?”
“You said the child in Mia’s belly is Ethan’s?” Miranda asked.

“I think so,” Chloe whispered. “I don’t have proof, but if the child isn’t Ethan’s, why would he be hovering around her?”

Miranda’s tone darkened. “Because you two were fighting! He’s using Mia to spite you because he knows you care about her the most!”
Chloe’s face turned pale.
“Chloe, you’re becoming more and more ridiculous. It wasn’t enough for you to harass Ethan over Mia; you had to drag me all the way from Northbrook to back you up, only for it to turn out you’ve been lying to me!”
Miranda’s face flushed with anger. She pointed at Chloe, her expression full of disappointment. “You’re practically pushing Ethan right into Mia’s arms!”
