Chapter 44

• Mia and Lily strolled through the serene estate garden, the warm sunlight casting a gentle glow over the lush greenery. Lily turned to Mia, her eyes filled with affection. "Why didn't you move here, Mia? I need you," she said, her voice soft.
• Mia's expression turned serious, her eyes flashing with a hint of anger. "No, Lily, if I moved here and saw Ethan, I would definitely kill him," she said, her voice low and even. "And I don't want his parents to see that. They're very nice people."
• Lily's eyes widened slightly, amused by Mia's fierce loyalty. She smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude toward her friend. "Thank you," she said, her voice filled with appreciation. "And thank you for choosing to assist me at Gray Enterprises. You've been an incredible support system for me."
