Chapter 869: A sudden slap left him stunned for 4 seconds. Chapter 869: A sudden slap left him stunned for 4 seconds. Mia Garcia didn’t return to the apartment arranged by her company but instead went directly to the new house her mother, Clara Brown, had bought.

This time, Clara Brown was rather low-key and hadn’t bought a villa. Instead, she bought three apartments in a high-end community, one to live in and two to rent out.

When Mia Garcia got home, Clara Brown was watching television.

“Mia, why have you come back?” Clara Brown hadn’t expected Mia Garcia to come back suddenly.

Mia Garcia threw herself onto the couch and started to cry bitterly.

“What’s happened? Why are you crying like this? Quick, tell Mom, what’s going on?” Clara Brown immediately turned off the television and asked anxiously at her side.

Mia Garcia just kept crying.

Clara Brown asked for a long time before Mia Garcia finally lifted her head and said to Clara Brown, “Mom, I’ve angered Uncle Lee, what should I do?”

Good heavens!

She had provoked a major financier! Was this not seeking death?

When Clara Brown heard she had angered Ethan Lee, she became even more anxious and quickly pressed, “Mia, what is this all about? You tell Mom, how on earth did you get on Uncle Lee’s bad side?”

Without a second thought, Mia Garcia stripped off her clothes to show Clara Brown, revealing crisscrossing whip marks that looked horrifying against her fair skin.

“You… Uncle Lee did this?” Clara Brown asked, gaping.

Mia Garcia nodded and said in misery and pain, “Yes, he did it. He whipped me viciously while he was…”

Clara Brown’s immediate concern wasn’t so much her daughter’s injuries but what Mia Garcia had done wrong to provoke the Golden Master.

Seeing her mother’s reaction, Mia Garcia couldn’t help but sneer silently to herself.

However, she still showed a pained and aggrieved demeanor and told Clara Brown about what had happened that day.

After listening, Clara Brown couldn’t help but scold, “Mia, not to criticize you, but how could you make such a mistake? Even if you did, you shouldn’t have let Uncle Lee catch you. With his temper, he definitely won’t let you off easily.”

“I’ve already learned my lesson, and this is when nothing has happened between me and the Third Young Master Collins yet. If there had been…”

“Shut up, are you crazy?” Clara Brown cut her off and yelled, “The things Uncle Lee gives you—do you think they’d be less than what that wealthy young master could offer? Remember, everything you have today was given to you by Uncle Lee. If you try to fool him before he tires of us, you’ll end up dead in a horrible way.”

“But what if, what if the Third Young Master is serious?”

“Even if he is serious, it doesn’t matter. Even if he wants to marry you, you still need to have the destiny to be his bride,” Clara Brown said without hesitation, snuffing out the little spark of hope that had kindled in Amelia Wilson’s heart.

Amelia Wilson bit her lip, her hatred growing deeper.

Watching her mother repeatedly advising her to cater to Ethan Lee and to satisfy him, she felt sick to her stomach.

The promises made in the past about finding someone else to help her get rid of Ethan Lee now seemed like utter nonsense—all just a ploy to toy with her.

Was this her fate for the rest of her life?

If Ethan Lee never grew tired of her before he died, was she supposed to play along until death?

No… absolutely not!

She was determined to take control of her own destiny; no one could stop her, and whoever did would pay with their lives.

Mia Garcia swore to herself resolutely inside.
