Chapter 1186
The assistant on the other end stammered, “Abigail… Uh… He’s indeed in Centrolis.”
Abigail was delighted, but her assistant’s next sentence brought her crashing down. “But… it seems
like he has a girlfriend.”
“What!?”
“That girl is an intern in the Thompson Group, working on the film studio project team.”
…
Lina had been busy all morning, finally getting a moment to catch her breath and take a sip of water.
Just as she was about to rx, a colleague rushed over to inform her, “Lina, your mother is downstairs
arguing with someone!”
“What!?” Lina almost choked on her water.
Renee quickly approached and patted her on the back, speaking softly, “Cuz, you go down and handle
it. I’ll stay here and keep an eye on things.”
“Okay!”
“It’s probably not Aunt Linda,” Renee reassured her. “It’s likely Aunt Melissa. The people at the front
desk can be snobbish. When you go down, try not to argue with them. Keep yourposure as much
as you can. We’ll sort it outter!”
Lina smiled and nodded in agreement.
She hurriedly made her way downstairs and saw Melissa being confronted by a group of people. It
wasn’t just the receptionists, but Amelia and her clique!
In fact, Melissa had been considering leaving Centrolis. She was concerned about her shop and house
back home, and her illness seemed to be worsening. She was afraid her condition would be exposed if
she stayed any longer.
That’s why she had discussed it with Jesse and decided to leave quietly within the next couple of days.
However, she couldn’t bear to leave without seeing her daughter one more time and having a brief
conversation with her.
Knowing that Lina was busy with work and had limited alone time when she visited the Hamertons,
Melissa wanted to get closer to her daughter before leaving.
Furthermore, with Lina’s growing rtionship with the Thompson couple, Melissa understood that she
shouldn’t disturb them anymore.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
But today, she couldn’t resist the impulse to get closer to her daughter. She came to the Supremacy
Building and learned that Lina was working in the film studio project team. She wanted to go inside and
see her for a moment.
Little did she know that not only did the front desk refuse her entry without an appointment, but she
also coincidentally encountered Amelia and her clique.
When they discovered that she was Lina’s mother, they made sarcastic remarks and prevented her
from leaving.
A few of them surrounded her in the bustling lobby and insulted her, all while everyone watched. They
even used her of attempting to steal something and insisted on searching her before she could

Melissa grew anxious and angry. Melissa’s face turned pale, and sweat trickled down her cheeks,
combined with the pain from her illness.
“What are you doing?!” Unable to contain her anger, Lina rushed over, pushing Amelia forcefully and
standing in front of her mother.
Amelia staggered backward from the push, instantly furious. She shouted at Lina, “How dare you push
me? You’re just an intern! Who do you think you are, shouting like this? It’spletely unreasonable!”
Despite Amelia’s anger, Lina showed no fear. She stepped forward and coldly stared at the group.
The young girl’s presence seemed to fill the entire lobby with an icy aura.
Although many people were present, everyone held their breath, captivated by the unfolding dramatic
scene.
Lina took a deep breath and spoke with clear enunciation. “The three of you, apologize to my mother
immediately!”
“Heh, heh…” Amelia and the others exchanged nces and sneered. “Apologize for what? We haven’t
done anything to her!”
“You stopped her, refused to let her leave, and wanted to search her! I saw it!”
“Lina Jenner!” Amelia arrogantly lifted her chin. “A stranger came to thepany, and as employees,
it’s our responsibility to inquire about her! Besides, with how this middle-aged woman is dressed, who
knows if she’s a thief?”
