Chapter 265
Mia found herself amused as she witnessed Pauline and Mary engaging in a heated altercation, hurling
harsh words and curses at each other.
She couldn’t contain her laughter, almost reaching the point of tears.
“Indeed, they got what they deserved.” Mia quietly reflected.
Turning to Ted, she cautioned, “You better recover that ten thousand dollars of yours, or your entire
family will face repercussions.
“That money is undeniable proof of your involvement in human trafficking.”
Ted was equally taken aback, grappling with the disbelief that Gia’s child wasn’t biologically his.
The entire situation unfolded due to this revelation, compelling him to hastily consider marriage, a
decision he wouldn’t have otherwise rushed into.
Ted forcefully seized Gia and demanded, “Where’s the money? Hand it over!”
In that tense moment, a person in uniform entered the scene and asked, “Who is Ted Bowen, and
where are his family members?”
Without hesitation, Mia spoke up. “That’s Ted, but it was Pauline and Gia who were involved in
accepting the illicit funds.”
Gia’s complexion turned pale as she desperately pleaded, “You can’t arrest me. Do you realize whose
child is growing in my belly? It’s the future heir of the CEO of Globex Corporation!”
Expressing his dismay. Ted exclaimed, “Isn’t his granddaughter about your age? How could you
engage in such actions with a significantly older man?”
Gia swiftly fired back. “What other option did I have? Did you really think I would settle for a broke
guy like you?
“If there hadn’t been an urgent need for someone to step in, I wouldn’t have been with you in the first
place. It certainly seemed like ten thousand dollars was a substantial amount for you!”
Pauline chimed in with disdain. “Exactly! Considering your family’s financial circumstances, do
you believe you are truly worthy of Gla?
“Despite her child not being biologically yours, she chose to be with you. Consider yourself fortunate
and express some gratitude!”
Ted looked devastated as if a profound blow had struck him. He turned toward the edge, contemplating
the unthinkable. “I don’t want to live anymore. It’s unbearable.”
Witnessing Ted on the verge of jumping, Mary rushed over, urgently shouting. “Ted, don’t do it! It’s
not worth it for this bitch.”
Visibly displeased, Pauline retorted, “Excuse me, who do you think you’re calling a bitch?”
Without restraint, Mary charged toward Gia, launching a torrent of insults and blows. “Your deceitful
woman! How dare you toy with my son’s emotions, you disgraceful…”
Gia ended up with a swollen face, and bloodstains appeared underneath her, resembling the aftermath
of a miscarriage.
Upon witnessing the scene, Mia quickly intervened. “Gia is pregnant!”
The situation descended into chaos.
Connor quickly pulled Mia aside, advising. “Mia, stay back, don’t get involved.”
Taking several steps away, Mia withdrew into the background, mindful of her own pregnancy.
She hadn’t anticipated the situation escalating to such an extent.
Before long, Gia was rushed to the emergency room, and both Mary and Ted found themselves. under
arrest on charges of human trafficking.
Mary swiftly turned to Mia, imploring. “Mia, we were also deceived by Gia. Couldn’t you simply ask her
to return the money to you? Must you resort to such drastic measures?”
With a resolute expression, Mia locked eyes with the police officer and stated, “Officer, I have no
connection with them. Please handle the situation as you find necessary.”
Mia found it impossible to forgive Bob and Mary. Their betrayal was too profound!
As Mary and Ted were escorted away, the hospital room finally regained its tranquility.
Not long after, Connor reentered the room, conveying, “Gia’s child didn’t make it, and she won’t be able
to have any more kids in the future.”
“I suspected that might be the case, especially given Gia’s track record of past abortions.”
