The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35: We Have Evidence

The HR Manager’s words sound like a hard slap.

For a moment, everything seemed to come crashing down.

Sienna felt as if something invisible had struck her directly, her entire body going still as the words settled in.

Her eyes widened, disbelief flooding through her mind in an instant.

’How? How could that be true? Mia had been clear. She had never received any revised file. Not through email. Not in print. Then how?’

Sienna’s thoughts tangled rapidly, questions crashing into one after another without answers.

This wasn’t just unexpected. This was bad. Very, very bad.

Before Sienna could gather her thoughts, before she could even form a single sentence to question what she had just heard—

Mia’s voice broke through the room.

"Sir—!"

It was loud. Sharp. Enough to make every head turn toward her instantly.

Even Sienna flinched slightly at the sudden outburst.

Mia’s hands trembled at her sides, her chest rising and falling unevenly as she struggled to hold herself together. But the anger in her eyes was unmistakable, burning brighter than anything else in that moment.

"Ho-How can you say that?" she demanded, her voice shaking, not from fear, but from disbelief. Her gaze locked onto the HR manager, unblinking, almost desperate.

"I’ve never received anything from Anna or Angie," she continued, her words spilling out faster now. "I can swear there were no emails at all! I checked my inbox countless times. I even checked my spam folder!" Her voice cracked slightly, but she pushed through it. "Th-There was nothing. So how can you say she sent me the revision?"

The room fell into a brief, heavy silence, but it was only for a few seconds.

"Mia," Angie’s soft voice slipped in, gentle and controlled, like a hand trying to smooth over chaos. "I understand that you’re upset..."

She tilted her head slightly, her expression calm, almost... sympathetic.

"But there’s no need to yell," she added, her tone almost motherly. "We can all hear you just fine."

The words sounded kind. But Sienna could hear it clearly. That subtle edge beneath them. That quiet satisfaction.

And Mia heard it too.

"You—" Mia’s voice dropped, but the anger only grew sharper. Her eyes narrowed, locking onto Angie with a fierce intensity. "I know you’re the one behind all of this."

The accusation hung in the air, heavy and threatening.

No one spoke, all taken aback by Mia’s words.

"Why did you do this to us?" Mia pressed on, her voice trembling again, but this time with emotion she could no longer hide. "Why are you trying to kick us out of the company? Why—"

Her words stopped abruptly.

Sienna’s hand had gently touched her arm from behind.

A silent signal to stop.

Mia froze for a second, her lips still slightly parted, her breathing shaking. Then she slowly closed her mouth, her chest rising with a deep breath before she forced herself to calm down.

"...Fine," she muttered under her breath, but her eyes never left Angie. Sharp. Piercing. Burning with quiet fury. She was so mad.

If looks could kill, Mia was certain they wouldn’t be sitting in this room right now. There would already be a funeral, Angie’s funeral.
