Chapter 188

Mia turned her attention to Bob and Mary. “In your dreams! I’d rather lose my job and sleep on the streets than give you money!”

“Watch your language, Mia Bowen! Do you think I won’t hit you here?” Bob, always vile–tempered, seemed ready to resort to physical measures.

Felix stepped forward, grabbing him by the collar. “You can try me.”

One by one, male colleagues in the office marched forward intimidatingly, while some female colleagues stood by Mia’s side. It was a showdown.

“Why don’t we take a moment to teach you about the law, old lady? Torturing Mia when she was little is against the law. She could report you to the authorities, you’d be taken away,” one colleague stood up for Mia, talking pointedly to Mary.

“I know, right? How shameless of them to come here and demand money!” some women remarked.

Seeing themselves losing the fight, Mary and Bob took a few steps backward.

Mary placed her hands on her waist. “Just you wait, Mia Bowen. If you don’t give us the money, we’ll come back again!”

After the couple left, the helpless Mia looked at her supportive colleagues. “Thanks for helping out. I’ll treat you all to something later.”

Felix replied with a smile. “It’s nothing. We can tell they’re up to no good. How are you going to deal with this?
