Chapter 188

Mia turned her attention to Bob and Mary. “In your dreams! I’d rather lose my job and sleep on the streets than give you money!”

“Watch your language, Mia Bowen! Do you think I won’t hit you here?” Bob, always vile–tempered, seemed ready to resort to physical measures.

Felix stepped forward, grabbing him by the collar. “You can try me.”
