Chapter 25
Chapter 25 Are You Threatening Me?
“What does this have to do with Mr. Smith?” Mia’s expression was indifferent. Without guessing, she
knew why Joe was calling at this time, “Mr. Smith is a busy man; he wouldn’t call for such a
meaningless question.”
Joe unconsciously loosened his tie. After a few years, Mia had be even more sharp-tongued.
“About the trending issue, Wendy didn’t do it on purpose. Why are you still clinging to it?” Joe’s voice
carried a hint of impatience that others might not perceive, but Mia was keenly aware of it.
After all, she once studied his every micro-expression, just to please him.
Exhaling deeply, a sarcastic smile yed at Mia’s lips, “Does Mr. Smith truly believe she’s innocent?
That I’m the one clinging to
it?”
Joe was silent.
Mia didn’t care about his thoughts. Her mind quickly shifted to the White family, who had been making
waves recently.
She smirked, “Of course, Mr. Smith standing up for Mrs. Smith
is only natural, and I’m not without understanding.”
At her words, Joe’s brows almost knitted into a frown.
In his memory, Mia’s attitude toward him was always one of admiration, affection, and passion, even
though he seldom looked at her. Joe knew how deep her feelings for him were.
But five yearster, Mia was not only out of his control but her attitude toward him had also lost its
previous emotions, leaving only indifference and mockery.
With this thought, Joe’s eyes gradually turned fierce.
“Mia White, what gives you the illusion that you can speak to me this way? Is it because of David?” Joe
said indifferently.
He had checked, the so-called engagement was just a fabrication by the two, and the Johnson family
would never agree to let Mia marry into it.
Mia sneered, “I have many videos like the previous one. If Mr. Smith wants them to appear on
tomorrow’s trending list, you can continue to flex your muscles.”
“How dare you!” Joe growled.
“Mr. Smith seems to misunderstand me; what wouldn’t I dare to do?” Mia’s tone was full of undisguised
contempt. She’d even endured childbirth abroad. What was there to fear?
Actually, take action against Mia. Joe subconsciously dismissed
the thought, irritably throwing his phone on the desk and turning on the speaker. “What do you want?”
Mia finally rxed a bit, her eyes shing, “When I married you, the White family gained a lot of
benefits, and knowing your nature, you wouldn’t let anyone take advantage of you. I want the leverage
you have over the White family. Once I get it, I’ll save face for Mrs. Smith.”
“Are you threatening me?”
Joe leaned back on the sofa, his face darkening.
The White family was like this, always pushing further, their greedy faces utterly repugnant.
Even after five years, Mia was no different.
His eyes cold, his tone even more frigid, Joe said, “The White family owes me a lot over these years.
You think you can write it off just like that?”
Although he didn’t care about those things, he also didn’t want them taken away, especially not in this
manner.
Mia was taken aback, guessing that Joe must have
misunderstood that she was doing this for the White family. Her eyes reflected her irony.
She’d been married to Joe for three years and had tried many times to exin the White family’s
situation, but he never wanted to listen. Since that was the case, there was no need to
exin now.
“Mr. Smith can say no; after all, I still have plenty of those
videos,” Mia said sarcastically. Wendy had gone to great lengths to make them, just to spite her.
Joe sneered, “Mia White, you’ve certainly grown bolder. Let’s talk face to face when I return home, in
the meantime…”
Before he could finish, Mia hung up the phone.
Looking at the now-darkened screen, Joe’s face darkened as well.
It was the first time someone had dared to hang up on him, especially when that person was Mia!
If it was before…
Quickly suppressing the involuntary thought, Joe called Jack, “Finish up the work within three days; I
need to return home as soon as possible.”Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
