Chapter 689

Mia had looked into the Barrett family’s background, but all she found was information about Laura’s illness. The reasons behind her vegetative state remained a mystery.

What was clear, though, was that Laura’s deterioration had started around the time Mia left the Barrett family four years ago.

The timing of these two events sparked Mia’s suspicions, suggesting a possible connection between them.

Meanwhile, Shelly, still reveling in her newfound designer bag, spoke candidly, “It’s all because of Tim’s awful ex–wife. She’s the one responsible for Grandma’s condition. Initially, Grandma was recovering well from her surgery, but then everything took a turn for the worse.”

Upon hearing the mention of the “awful ex–wife,” Mia’s expression turned cold. “Is that so? Please, enlighten me. How exactly did this ex–wife contribute to Mrs. Barrett Senior’s condition?”

Just as Shelly was about to speak, her gaze met Monalize’s, whose features bore a striking resemblance to Mia’s.
