No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1449

Justin clutched his face in disbelief. "Fuck! Did you just slap me!"

Mia shot back. "Yeah, and so what? That filthy mouth of yours deserved it! Say one more bad word about Noelle, and I swear I'll rip you apart!"

"Who the hell do you think you are, Mia? The Parhams aren't intimidated by you at all!"

"The Parhams have been on the decline for ages now, yet you can't stop acting so high and mighty, huh? I've got plenty of dirt on the Parhams, and if I wanted to, I could tank your stock price by tomorrow. What do you say to that?"

Justin snorted. "Go ahead and try it."

"Gladly. I'll call your mom right now."

With that, Mia pulled out her phone and dialed Brittany's number. When the call was picked up almost immediately, she said, "Mrs. Parham, Justin says the Cantrells are nothing, and I'd love to hear what the Parhams mean by that."

Hearing that, Brittany instantly flew into a rage directed at Justin. "Calm down, Ms. Cantrell. That idiot son of mine has never had a brain in his head."

Turning on the speaker for everyone to hear, Mia continued, "Right, so I slapped him for it. Now, he's threatening to call the cops and have me arrested."

"Good for you! He has no say in the family, and if anything, I'd like to thank you for teaching him a lesson on behalf of the Parhams."

Justin exploded. "She slapped me, Mom! Why aren't you taking my side?"

Brittany roared back, "It's your fault that you're running your mouth and stirring up trouble, brat! If you upset Ms. Cantrell again, watch me cut your credit cards!"

Mia gave him a smug look and took the phone over. "Thank you for clearing that up, Mrs. Parham. I think we're good here."

She hung up before turning to Justin with a cold smirk. "Did you hear that? And what makes you think you can mess with me?"

Justin was shaking with rage as he spat, "You're vicious, Mia. All this for a dead person, huh?"

"If you don't learn to watch your filthy mouth, the Parhams will be all over the headlines tomorrow with those dirty secrets. Let's see if your mom breaks your legs then."

"And what makes you think the Cantrells are clean? That stepmother of yours is nothing but a con artist who made my mom lose a fortune in her so-called investments." Justin gritted his teeth as he shot back.

"That's because you people are idiots, too greedy for impossible returns, only to lose everything down to the last dollar of your principal.
