In fact, Jason was capable of proving Mia’s innocence even if she was guilty.

Dominic said grimly, “Mia, let Jason handle this. I’ll take you to the hospital!”

Connor was equally petrified. She was pregnant, and her condition might be lethal after the attack.

Yet, some members from the Barrett family interrupted, “Are you just going to let her leave?”

“Yeah, aren’t we supposed to stay here until the culprit is identified? Others will surely be unhappy about it if Mia gets to leave.”

Dominic glared at them. “I dare you to stop me.”

Palpable tension hung in the air as the Lane Brothers leered at the Barretts from the stairs.

Connor glanced over at Timothy. “You should be aware of Mia’s condition. She’s having a concussion now. This is serious!”

Timothy, of course, noticed Mia’s pale complexion and the blood seeping out from the wound at the back of her head, staining her white dress. He swallowed hard, and he finally spoke, “You guys can go to the hospital, but I hope you won’t leave Bern City for now. At least not until this case is closed.”

Mia glanced at him, who was standing next to the pool of blood. “I know.” She didn’t need him to remind her–she was equally determined to capture the culprit.

Just then, Kaleb hurried over and whispered to Timothy, “The security footage has been deleted.”

Infuriated, Timothy bellowed, “Get the experts over here now to retrieve it!”

Mia grabbed Nathan’s hand. “Nathan, can you do that?”

“It’s a piece of cake. Rest assured, Mia. Go to the hospital, and leave this to me.” Nathan spun around and glared at Timothy. “Prepare a laptop for me, and take me to the surveillance room.”

Sharon exclaimed in bewilderment, “Can he handle this?”

Mia immediately said, “He’s an incredibly talented IT expert!”

Claude chimed in, “There’s no code or program that he can’t crack in this world. It’s a breeze for him to

restore the security footage.”

“Save the hassle. I have the culprit.” Luna emerged with a limp. She seemed to be injured as well, but

there was a restrained mald trailing behind her.

Mia was stunned. She could barely stifle her shock when she saw the maid. “Dana, It’s you!” She didn’t expect that it was really her.

It finally struck her that it was all a scheme. Her dress being dirtied, and her being brought to the second floor to meet Laura–it was all planned in advance.

“Yeah, it’s me. It isn’t fair that you get to live a comfortable life while I’m drowning in a sea of insults. I was supposed to be the star, not you! It’s unfair that we’re both orphans but you get to return to a rich family, but I’m still a poor, pitiable orphanl”

Mia screamed, “Then take it out on me then! Why are you targeting a helpless old lady?”

Dana began cackling. “She’s so kind toward you, Isn’t she? She lets you marry into her wealthy family when you’re just an orphan. You’re not any better than me! This old hag is gullible as heck! She just

came out when I said you wanted to talk to her in private…”

Mia’s entire frame quivered with rage. “You bitch! I’m going to kill you!”

Her hands hovered along the rail as she was about to lunge at Dana. Yet, she misstepped and tumbled down the stairs.
