Chapter 302 The Peace Before the Storm
“What do I need to do then?” Maura could hear the hatred in Mia’s tone through the phone. She had thought she was vicious enough, but she didn’t expect Mia to be even more vicious than her.
Especially after hearing about her plan, Maura almost clapped her hands in joy. Thinking of what might happen to Evelyn, Maura felt comfort in her heart. “Don’t worry. I promise I’ll complete the task you gave me as long as you will fulfill your promise to me.”
Mia smiled with satisfaction. “You can check your bank card. I’ve just paid a deposit. As long as you do what you should do, I promise I’ll send you abroad safely.”
“Okay, it’s a deal.” After saying that, Maura noticed she was about to hang up, so she hurriedly said, “But I’m very curious. How can someone like you, who avoids meeting in person, accomplish all these things?”. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“It has nothing to do with you.” With that, Mia hung up the phone unceremoniously.
Maura immediately clicked on the inquiry system. The police wanted her, and all her bank cards and transaction accounts had been suspended. The money Mia gave her was transferred to an

Although Evelyn was greatly affected after the departure of Huston’s grandparents, she and Huston finally ended their cold war. However, even though they no longer avoided each other, Huston returned home late every few days, sometimes even in the early morning hours.
Evelyn felt empty and uneasy, but when she thought of what Huston had said, she still believed him.

Evelyn was stunned. “What’s wrong?”
Grace pursed her lips and chuckled. “Nothing. Have a seat.”

Grace felt uncomfortable under her gaze. She picked up the goblet at the table and sipped water. “Don’t look at me like that, okay? I’ve already ordered the food. You look like you want to
