Chapter 708 Mia discerned the underlying message in Sharon's words. It was evident that Sharon wanted to assert dominance over her, insinuating that Mia shouldn't entertain any romantic notions with Tim.
With a cold expression, Mia stood up abruptly. "Since Mrs. Barrett doesn't seem to like me very much, I'll excuse myself." With that, she retrieved her designer handbag and departed, unwilling to tolerate even a hint of injustice.

That's just Aunt Sharon's personality. She’s simply reminding me; it has nothing to do with you." With a dignified demeanor, Sharon commented, "Monalize, it seems like you have quite a fiery temper, getting upset over just a few words. That kind of attitude might not be the best fit for Tim." "Exactly," Veronica interjected. "Considering my nephew Timothy's status as the heir to a prominent family, it's essential for his future wife to embody grace and elegance. Above all, she must show utmost respect for her elders and never underestimate their authority." Mia offered a wry smile in response. "It's unfortunate, really. I've always been indulged by my family and have never been one to tolerate grievances. I'm not even certain what it truly means to be graceful and elegant." Sharon had intended to put Monalize in her place, but she was taken aback by Monalize's audacity and arrogance.
Sharon's mood instantly soured. "So, you're Monalize, huh? | don't recall hearing about the Langford family in Nord City's high society. Mind telling me which wealthy family you're a part of?" Mia showed no signs of backing down. "Are you here to Fyuct a background check on my family?" Veronica countered swiftly, "Monalize, given the prestigious reputation of the Barrett family in Bern City, it's crucial for his future wife to align with his social standing. If you're reluctant to reveal your family background, is there perhaps something that's making you feel guilty?" Sharon continued, "Nowadays, it's surprising how many young women pretend to be from wealthy families. It's quite audacious, don't you think? Do they honestly believe affluent families wouldn't bother to look into their backgrounds?" "Aunt Sharon, please, enough. Monalize isn't like that,” Shelly interjected with a hint of anxiety, her eyelid twitching involuntarily.
How else could Monalize have gotten her hands on a VIP membership card if she wasn't an heiress? After all, such a card wasn't easily accessible to everyone! Sharon interjected, "Shelly, you're far too gullible. You're swayed by just a few favors. Is that all it took to gain your trust?" Mia chuckled in response. "Alright, duly noted. Can I leave now?" Without saying anything else, she turned and exited the lounge.
Visibly upset, Shelly turned to Sharon and exclaimed, "Aunt Sharon, what was that about?"
Sharon replied, "Shelly, | just wanted to warn you not to be tricked by this cunning woman. She's deliberately using her looks to\get close to Tim

Clearly, she's a gold-digger," Veronica chimed in. "Aunt Sharon, Monalize is not a gold-digger! Have you ever seen someone who's after money using a VIP membership card from Vior to deceive people?" Sharon was taken aback. "Wait, are you saying she has a VIP membership card from Vior?" Sharon herself hadn't been able to acquire that card.
"Aunt Sharon, why would | make this up? We were just at the Vior store, enjoying the entire place to ourselves for the afternoon with exclusive access to all the top designer brands.
There was no need to pre-order or wait in line! | can't even put into words how amazing that experience was!"
Despite this, Sharon remained skeptical. "Shelly, are you absolutely sure?" "I'm completely certain. Take a look at this bag .Isn't it the same one you tried to snatch from Mrs. Jones last time? This particular leather is exceptionally rare, even more so than Mrs. Jones'. | simply mentioned it casually, and the store manager promptly brought it out for me." Sharon's expression grew uneasy. How could this be true? Could it be that Luna was deceiving her?
