Thalia clenched her phone, a hint of sarcasm on her face.

This was Helen’s way of showing sincerity. Thalia had agreed to their terms, and the job was hers again-as suddenly as it had been taken.
Guess they mean what they say, Thalia mused.
She took a deep breath and smiled, “Sure, let’s do it tomorrow.”
Alright, I’ll be expecting you,” the project manager said before hanging up.
Thalia ran a hand over her face. Since the opportunity had landed right in her lap, she wasn’t about to let it slip by. This was rightfully hers. This voice acting role was meant for her all along.
Wendy noticed Thalia stopped crying right after the call, looking confused. “Thalia, what’s going on?”
Thalia flashed a small smile. “The job that got snatched from me? I got it back.”
Wow!” Wendy exclaimed, pulling Thalia into a hug. “That’s amazing. Miya is shameless. She tried to steal your job, and now he’s probably been sent packing because she couldn’t hack it.
So what if she had some loser backing her? No skills, always trying to take what’s not hers. Serves her right.” Wendy didn’t niss the chance to roast Miya.
Nice one! Go off, Wendy,” Thalia said.
Miya received a call informing her that she wasn’t suitable for the role. Since the contract hadn’t been signed yet, the company decided to pass on her.
she was in total disbelief. After hanging up, she quickly called the boss of the voice acting company.
Miya demanded angrily, “Didn’t Darion’s people already tell you I was supposed to be the voice for that character? Why did you replace me?”
The boss, Bradley Cooper, gave a wry laugh. “Mrs. Miya Blackburn, this was a direct order from Mrs. Blackburn herself.
I’m running a small company. No way I’d dare go against the wife of the Blackburn Group’s CEO.”
Helen? Why is she suddenly meddling in this?’ Miya wondered, her mind racing.
Miya clenched her phone, her gaze cold and clouded with frustration. She forced herself to stay calm. “Alright, I get it. After hanging up, her expression soured.
‘Mommy, Keith called out just then.
Miya turned, her face cold and gloomy, and walked straight to the hospital bed. She stroked Keith’s cheek, and then, under his frightened gaze, reached for his thigh.
Keith let out a whimper, but Miya clamped a hand over his mouth.
She leaned in close to his ear and whispered, “Keith, why can’t you be a little more impressive? Can’t you make Darry like you a bit more? If he likes you, he could be your daddy.”

Darion and Jason visited a few kids’ homes and got their side of the story. None of the kids said they saw Thalia kick anyone.
Finally, Darion headed back to Blackburn Manor and went straight to the maid who was cleaning. This was the same maid who had accused Thalia of kicking Keith.
Seeing Darion’s dark expression, she instinctively took two steps back. “M-Mr. Darion, is there something you need?”
Darion beckoned her over, his tone sharp. “So, tell me which eye saw Thalia kick Keith?”
The maid’s face turned even paler as she kept retreating. “I… I don’t really know…”
