When Elena turned to look, she noticed that Michael still stood among the crowd. It was a critical moment, and so she was not in the mood to be angry with Master Williams. It was a race against time, so she sent a text message to Michael and then hurriedly left after that.
The Williams’s garage was full of luxury cars. She had a driver’s license in her past life, so she was very skilled in driving. However, it seemed like she had forgotten something…
“Do you have a driver’s license?” The man’s voice sounded a little low, and he was clearly displeased. “If I remember correctly, you are only a little over eighteen years old.”
Elena froze as she looked straight at Michael, who had appeared by the car’s door. She was sure that he was engaged in a conversation when she left.
Even though he did not enjoy the women’s attention, he got on quite well with the other young men. How did he appear beside her so quickly?
“Master Williams, I’m in a hurry. I’ll try to be back in the evening.”
“Do you have a driver’s license?” He knew that only her little bunch of friends could make her so restless.
Elena bit her lips. Finally, she opened the door and got out of the driver’s seat. She made a mental note to get a driver’s license as soon as she could.
She had driven for a few years, and it seemed like she could not drive in her new life because she did not have a license.
“Master Williams, can I trouble you to help me find a driver, please?”
Just as she finished her sentence, Michael had already strode toward her with his long legs, and then his tall body had found its way into the driver’s seat.
Elena froze. That was the day of The Williams family gathering, and both the old master and the old madam were around.
Did he want to leave with her? She could not afford such an esteemed driver.
“Are you coming?” Michael gazed at her as his long fingers tapped gently on the steering wheel. One could never resist his noble temperament. “Is it not urgent?”
“Yes, it’s urgent.”
Elena immediately went around to the front passenger seat, opened the door, and climbed into the car.
“But, what about Grandmother and the old master…”
“Didn’t you say that we would be back by evening?”
“I’m not sure, actually.” If she could not find Layla, she might not even be able to make it back before nightfall. She wanted to locate Layla. Michael said nothing as he started the car and drove out of the garage. Then they left Michael’s compound.
…
Layla had not planned to go missing. She was curious as to what had happened to Mia. She had managed to escape the doctors and nurses before she found her. She was surprised to see Mia enjoyed sunflower seeds as she watched the television.
“You’re a liar!” Layla was really dumbfounded. She did not expect Mia to be so shameless that she would play a suicide prank. She would not even dream about that.
She squeezed her fists and roared angrily, “Why are you hurting me like this?” How badly had she suffered because of that post on social media and that suicide note? Outsiders had judged her and said that she was vicious and how she had killed Mia. Who would have thought that Mia was all fine and dandy?
“What did I do to you?” Mia shrugged and glanced at her friend. Her friend, Nancy, had inched quietly to the door to shut and lock it. Layla was blinded by her anger, and thus she did not notice that.
She pointed at Mia as her eyes flashed red in a fury. “How could you slander people like this? This is a crime! I’m going to sue you!”
“Really? What crime did I commit? Did I mention any name? Did I say that it was you who had done all that to me?” Mia sneered disapprovingly. “If you want to place blame, then blame cyber violence. I did not get those people to do anything to you.”
Heck! Layla had the audacity to threaten to sue her. That idiot! It seemed like she was not as intelligent as Elena. If Mia could not destroy Elena, then she should just wreck that idiot! It would still be a massive blow to Elena.
“I heard that those people had scared you into the hospital. Wasn’t that fun? Don’t be a wuss. I will post another social media immediately to say that you have come to the hospital to intimidate me.”
“I didn’t!” Layla had never encountered such a shameless person.
“Didn’t you? You were the one who came to me today, and soon everyone will know about this. Oh right, I can also say that a bad woman by the surname of Su had threatened me and ordered people to deal with me.”
Mia took out her mobile phone and pretended to post on social media. Layla rushed toward her and was about to grab her phone. While they tugged with each other, Mia suddenly screamed, “Ah, it hurts! Let go of me. Please let me go. Help…”
Layla just wanted to get the mobile phone, so she could not understand why Mia suddenly called out so desperately. Before she could react, Mia broke away from her and rolled off the bed before she landed on the ground with a loud thud.
Layla was dumbstruck as she did not even use much strength at all. How did Mia roll off the bed? After Mia landed on the ground, she hurriedly curled up and shivered in a corner.
“I dare not do it again; please let me go! I know that you have powerful friends, I really dare not do it again.”
“Don’t hurt my family, don’t hurt me anymore, please!”
“In the future, I will keep a distance from the men that you like. I will not accept their gifts. I dare not anymore.”
“Miss Miller, let me go, please!”
“Mia, what sham are you working on now!”
By the time Layla realized that something was wrong, Nancy, who stood by the door, had already recorded the whole thing.
Layla was stunned for a moment, and when she finally came to her senses. “What are you trying to do? You… You want to frame me again!”
She wanted to rush forward, but Mia leaped from the ground and pulled her back. Then Mia slapped her on the face, and Layla’s cheek instantly swelled with redness.
“Mia, you are a wretched woman!”
“Fuck you! It was your own stupidity.” Layla had gone to Mia on her own accord. Was that not akin to giving Mia a chance to continue to bully her?
“Weren’t you something in the restaurant that day? All because that Elena b*tch had someone to support her?”
Mia grabbed Layla’s collar and raised her hand to deliver another quick slap. How could the simple-minded Layla be her match? Without Elena, she was nothing. Mia could easily destroy her like an ant.
“Nancy, upload the video with an alternative account.”
“Okay.” Nancy stopped filming and edited the video with the most favorable clips. Then she uploaded it immediately onto social media.
“No! Don’t you dare slander me!” Layla tried to rush forward again, but Mia could easily pull her back. Then Mia shoved her to the ground and kicked her.
“Let me make it clear to you. Not only can I destroy you, but I can also ruin the image of that bitch, Elena! You shall wait and see!”
She lifted her leg and kicked Layla viciously before she yelled, “Doctor, doctor help!”
After the video was uploaded, Nancy rushed outside as she shouted, “Someone is beating the patient! Doctor, help!”
The doctors and nurses arrived, and the hospital security team followed them.
They dragged Layla out of the room. As they did that, she cursed, “Mia, you fabricated the story! You slandered me! Mia, I won’t let you go! You wretched woman!”
Mia laid on the bed as she listened to Layla’s hysterical cries outside, and she sneered in disdain. Elena had such a stupid friend; it served her right to be embroiled in that mess.
