Chapter 230: Not The Reaction She Desired

Mia's parents, taken aback, were ready to stand up, but Morris stopped them. "Let her handle it."

His father clearly looked displeased. "But..."

"She had told me to take care of you, if something like this happened," Morris explained. 

"What do you mean, is she aware this was going to happen?" Mr Wilson turned angry, "Did they really steal? Even if she is my daughter, I would never…"

"No father," Morris placed his hand on his father's. "Don't you know your daughter? Do you really think Mia can ever do such a thing, the one who rejected all the privileges from her wealthy family and resorted to the way of struggle?"

"Not Mia, but what if Natalie?" Mia's mother hesitated to say it.

"We have known Natalie for so many years. So many things happened with her, but have we ever changed our options about her?" Morris asked.
