Chapter 16 Her Plan

• Mia was so furious that tears welled up in her eyes. The crowd cast glances at her, exchanging murmurs. Mia felt as though her dignity had been trampled upon. Yet, if she couldn’t bear the humiliation, her plan would be ruined. It wasn’t easy for her to have Cora actually show up at her engagement party. On this day, Mia was determined to put an end to any potential trouble Cora might bring, once and for all! With malice in her eyes, Mia looked at Cora and spoke with an aggrieved tone, “I know you hate me, Cora, but you didn’t have to ask your friend to humiliate me at my own engagement party, did you?” Cora spoke up before Sally could say anything: “You asked for our blessings.
• I didn’t hear any humiliation in what she just said. What’s your problem? Maybe you should write down your own blessings, and everyone here can just repeat after you.” Mia was struck speechless, unable to muster a retort. She gritted her teeth and took a few deep breaths before she put on that pitiful look again. “Alright, alright. Regardless, I still appreciate that you can come to my engagement party. Let’s forget the past and move on.” Mia stepped forward and hugged Cora tightly. Cora felt bewildered, her b*dy tensing up. Mia had never been known for showing any kindness. She whispered, “What do you want?”
• “I want to cut all possibilities between you and Eason, of course.” Still hugging Cora, Mia whispered back with a creepy smile. “I don’t want to get back with Eason. I came here to say goodbye to my past.” “In that outfit? Drop the act, Cora. I know what you’re thinking. You’re here to seduce Eason and make him regret it." Mia suddenly grabbed Cora’s hand as she screamed, “Cora! Don’t push me." All eyes turned toward them. Meanwhile, Eason had just been called back to the hall by his mother, Lydia. Still recovering from the pain of Cora’s kick and slap, Eason entered awkwardly, just in time to see Cora pushing Mia away, causing Mia to stumble.
