NovelEndChapter 374 But gradually, Mia started noticing something was off.
Susan always seemed to be around, whether intentionally or not. On top of that, she paid special attention to who Mia was in contact with. Every tMia made a call, Susan would position herself no more than ten feet away.
As a pregnant woman, Mia was naturally more sensitive than usual. After testing things a few times, she became-Susan was monitoring her.
What was even more infuriating was that Susan blatantly started interfering in her daily life. From what she ate and wore to whether she could leave the house, Susan even outright told her that she should minimize going out and let others handle company affairs.
It was absurd.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMia wasn't someone who could be easily controlled, but in the past few days, she had caught the flu. Because she was pregnant and couldn't take any medication, she had no choice but to endure it. This gave Susan complete leverage over her.
If Mia hadn't secretly called Angela while in the bathroom today and shared her location, who knew how much longer she would have been left completely isolated? "What exactly is going on? Telleverything." Angela lowered her voice.
"Takeout of here-anywhere is fine. I can't stay here any longer." Mia grasped Angela's arm tightly, as if Angela was her only way out.
There was only fear and unease in her eyes-none of the joy or anticipation one would expect from a mother-to- be.
"We're leaving now." Angela immediately helped her up, agreeing without a second thought. "However..." A question suddenly crossed her mind. "Do you know what Zayn has been up to lately?" She seriously doubted that Mia had any clue about Zayn's upcoming engagement ceremony.
"He's the sas always. Why? Did something happen to him? What happened?" Mia looked at Angela, her eyes filled with bewilderment.
Just as Angela thought, Mia was clueless. Damn it, Zayn had really kept Mia in the dark.
But now, Angela wasn't sure if she should break the news. Mia was pregnant and sick. Could she even handle it? "Just cwithfor now. Once you're out, you'll know everything." Angela sighed deeply.
Things had already reached this point. If Mia remained unaware of what was happening, who knew what else might happen? After thinking it over, Angela couldn't bear to let her friend be deceived any longer.
Mia's expression grew solemn. She had always trusted Angela, and right then, she didn't need to ask more questions to know that something was very wrong. As such, she wasn't going to just wait around like a fool.
Mia could only nod. Taking nothing with her, she followed Angela out.
But just as they were about to leave, Susan suddenly appeared from inside the house. "Ms. Spencer, where are you going?" She hurriedly chased after them as she shouted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAngela immediately positioned herself in front of Mia, her gaze icy as she stared straight at Susan.
"Tell Zayn that I'm taking Mia with me. If he wants to see her, he can cfindat Villa Heights." Though she didn't raise her voice, every word carried a chilling intensity.
Susan was startled, momentarily stunned by Angela's overwhelming and cold behavior. Before she could react, Angela and Mia had already walked away.
"Angela, what is going on? You... You have to tell me..." Mia was still weak ORLY weak from her illness, and her body was frail. The moment she sat in the passenger seat, she couldn't hold back her questions anymore. Angela inwardly cursed Zayn and the Jewell family for being so damn heartless.
She handed her phone to Mia. "See for yourself. Open any browser."
Mia did as she was told, unlocking the phone using Angela's face ID. But before she could even click on an appra notification popped up on the screen that read, "Real estate tycoon Stefan Jewell's son is set to be engaged to Riley Zamora." Mia's eyes widened instantly. She recognized the names mentioned and all the other words, but she couldn't wrap her head around the sentence.
Zayn was getting engaged to Riley? How could that be?
