Married To My Billionaire Stepbrother

Chapter 144: Arrogant Mia

The issue of Natalie’s past plagiarism didn’t end with a simple Q&A session with the reporters. They were determined to dig up more dirt on Natalie, as they were already on Briena’s side and had cast Natalie as the villain.

In the lead-up to the national perfume creator competition, the media aimed to blow the situation out of proportion, involving more people and gathering additional material for their stories. The bigger the scandal grew, the harder Natalie would fall—eventually being branded as a thief, making it unlikely that anyone would ever work with her again.

The reporters discovered that the new company Natalie was working with on her perfume project belonged to Mia Wilson, the daughter of one of the four most powerful families in Imperial City. This revelation added an unexpected twist.

Though everyone knew Mia had distanced herself from her family’s company and was trying to build her own business based on her own merits, no one expected her to be associated with this new drama.

Later that day, in the late afternoon, reporters gathered at the airport, having learned that Mia was returning to the city after a business trip.

"Ms. Mia! Ms. Mia!"

The reporters surrounded a petite figure, dressed casually in travel clothes: a loose top and cargo pants in off-white, a long black shrug, white sneakers, and sunglasses. Her elbow-length hair was tied in a loose bun, and her soft skin glowed in the sunlight.

Mia was startled to find herself suddenly swarmed by the reporters. Without even letting her get hold of her situation, all of them barged her with numerous questions.

"Ms. Mia, we’ve heard that the company you’ve been running for a while is now working with Natalie Ford, and that the perfume you’re launching was created by her."
