Chapter 8

The bodyguards were there to pick Mia up?

She looked at the helicopter and thought about how Patricia had told her that her family had sought Patricia

Had these bodyguards really been sent by her family?

Mia pinched her face, feeling like she was dreaming. There couldn’t really be a helicopter here to take her

home.

She’d been dreaming for the past 20 years. Was it really coming true now?

Maya looked at Mia mockingly. “You’re a great actress, Mia. Where did you find these extras? They do a pretty good job. Look, once a peasant, always a peasant. No matter how hard you try to conceal it, you can’t hide how poor you really are.

Maya shrieked, “How dare you instruct this guy to slap me! Do you know who I am? Do you know who my brothers are? I’m gonna have you and your family’s lives for this!”

Mia smiled at how crazed Maya looked. “Well, my brother’s Voldemort.”
