At that moment, Chelsea Kent, the store manager, approached Shelly and Sharon. “Ms.
Barrett and Mrs. Barrett, is there anything I can assist you with?”
Shelly quickly chimed in, “Someone seems to have stolen a VIP membership card.
Shouldn’t you verify their identity?”
Taking the card, Chelsea glanced at Mia. ” May I ask if this card belongs to you?”
Mia shook her head. “No, it doesn’t.”
Shelly immediately chuckled, “As I said earlier, Mia must have either stolen or found this
card somewhere. She doesn’t
even know where it came from.”
Sharon sneered, “Mia, a chicken will
always remain a chicken; it can never transform into a phoenix!”
“Who are you calling a chicken?”
Suddenly, the fitting room door swung open, and Eva emerged.

Instantly recognizing the two women before her–one being Timothy’s mother and the
other his cousin–Eva was outraged by their insults toward Mia.
While Mia’s brothers might tolerate such behavior, Eva certainly couldn’t.
Rolling up her sleeves, Eva pointed accusingly at Sharon.
“You old hag, your skin’s on the verge of sagging to the ground, yet you have the nerve to
insult Mia. Given your advanced age, where have your manners disappeared to?”
Throughout the years, Sharon had never experienced such a direct verbal assault.
Enraged, she stuttered, “Y–you… who do you think you are? How dare you insult me like
this?”
“What’s wrong with insulting you? Just wait, I might even give you a beating later,” Eva
defiantly replied.
After all, Eva harbored a fiery temper
when it came to defending her family.

She had maintained a low profile in Nord City over the years, seldom venturing out in
public.
Her visits to Bern City were infrequent, and she had deliberately skipped Maya’s
engagement banquet last time due to her dislike for Maya. /
Therefore, the Barretts didn’t recognize
her at all.
However, Eva was well acquainted with them, particularly with the knowledge of Mia’s
secret marriage to Timothy. Aware of the three years Mia had spent enduring injustice
from the Barrett family, Eva harbored a lot of pent–up anger.
It appeared that Sharon and Shelly had unwittingly found themselves in her line of fire!
Observing Eva on the brink of losing her temper, Mia promptly intervened. “Eva, please

Eva scoffed with disdain. “Who needs civility when dealing with such individuals? Do they
even deserve it?”
Sharon was immediately provoked, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “So Mia, she’s your

Fanning the flames further, Shelly firmly instructed Penny, “Quickly verify this card. We
need to let the owner know it’s been stolen and inform the cops that these two poor folks
have been using it unlawfully.”
Upon hearing this, Eva erupted into laughter. “Oh, come on, it’s just a card. Why are you
making such a fuss? Have you been living under a rock?”
Sharon snorted derisively. “What’s the matter? Are you feeling guilty?”
Caught in a dilemma, Chelsea found
herself torn between the affluent Sharon
and the unfamiliar Eva.

Ultimately, Chelsea decided to believe Sharon’s assertions. She turned to Mia
and Eva, stating, “I apologize, but I must make a phone call to reach the owner of this
card.”
Without hesitation, Chelsea retrieved her phone and dialed the number provided on the
card. Soon enough, the phone placed on the nearby sofa began to ring loudly.
The atmosphere immediately grew tense.
Shelly exclaimed incredulously, “Is the owner of the card present in this store?”
