Chapter 432

The poor and pitiful expression on Mia’s face made Gwen come to a realization.

Even if she told Sean that Mia had caused her to get suspended from work, Mia would still make up lots of excuses. If Sean questioned Mia, she would put the blame on Gwen.

The fact that Mia was capable of such a feat meant that she was immensely crafty. She would have had a bright future ahead of her if only she had taken the right path.

Gwen inhaled deeply and found that she wasn’t that angry at Mia anymore. “Where’s your mom?”

“Why do you want to see her?” Mia asked, cautious.

Just then, her mother walked out of the kitchen. “Do we have quests?” she asked.

Then, her expression changed when she saw Gwen and the others, “Didn’t I tell you before that my daughter won’t ever appear in your sight again? Why are you people here?”

“Because your daughter got me suspended from work.

“Nonsense!” The hostel owner retaliated right away.

“My daughter would never do something like that.”

“Go ahead and ask my colleagues if you don’t believe me,” said Gwen.

“Mia went to meet the head of the PR department in my company and said that I took away her boyfriend.”

The hostel owner then turned to look at Mia. “Mia, is it true?”

Tears welled up in Mia’s eyes, and she said, “Mom, my legs hurt. Can you let me sit before I tell you about it?”

The suspicion in the hostel owner’s eyes vanished. It was replaced by grief when she remembered that Gwen had once shoved Mia.

“Okay. Sit down and tell me about it,” she said as she helped Mia to the chair.

A moment later, Mia spoke slowly. “To be honest, I should take the blame… but I didn’t do it on “Mia, what do you mean?” The hostel owner asked, confused.

Gwen and Caroline glanced at each other for a moment and had the same thought. Mia was going to come up with another lie again.

“I had hurt my leg, right? After coming back, one of my friends called Linda kept on asking me about what had happened,” said Mia.

“I had no choice but to tell her the truth. Even though I told her repeatedly that Gwen didn’t do it on purpose, Linda refused to believe in me and said that she wanted to take revenge on Gwen.”

“Mom …”

Mia grabbed her mother’s hand and said, “You know Linda too, right? She’s a student just like me. I didn’t think she would do anything like that, so I didn’t take her seriously.

“Who knew she would report it anonymously and claim that Sean is my boyfriend? She even said that Gwen was a third wheel who took him away from me.

”

Mia added, “Linda realized how serious this matter had become only after Gwen’s company called.

“She was afraid that it would be recorded and affect her at school, so she asked me to cooperate with her to lie about this.”

Once she had finished talking, Mia turned to look at Gwen with pitiful eyes.

“Gwen, I never wanted you to get suspended from work. I–I can go and tell the truth to the head of the PR department of your company.

“I’ll tell him that this is all my fault and that it has nothing to do with Linda.”

Gwen couldn’t stop herself from cursing inside. The fault was Mia’s and Mia’s alone! Mia should become a scriptwriter since she was so good at making up stories.

After listening to what Mia said, the hostel owner found herself at a loss for words.

When she finally spoke, she said, “Mia, my dear, how could you … I–I really don’t know how to put this.”

She then turned to apologize to Gwen. “Sorry, Ms. Jameson. We’re so sorry for causing you such a huge problem,” she said.
