Chapter 753

"Spit it out already! The suspense is killing me. Why keep it a secret now?"

Natalie Castillo saw no one was speaking and urged again.

Sebastian Truman: "..."

Natalie turned directly to Mia Truman. "Fine, if he won't say it, you tell us! What on earth happened? Did you run into some scumbag? What's the story between you two? We're all sisters here, what can't you share?"

The completely ignored Alexander Vance and Sebastian Truman: ??

But Natalie's blunt and straightforward manner actually made the embarrassment in Mia's heart dissipate a little. She suddenly thought, right, she wasn't the one who did anything wrong, so why was she the one feeling conflicted?

She took a deep breath and began. "There's a man... I've been pursuing. He bribed my family's Sterlingny to try to kill me. Because I bought a personal accident insurance policy, and the beneficiary is his name."

Crunch.

Natalie cracked a sunflower seed. "The man you're pursuing... you haven't even caught him yet, and you already made him the insurance beneficiary? So you're a simp?"

Mia Truman: ?

That term was too harsh!

She wanted to retort, but the words got stuck in her throat. Thinking about it carefully, those two words were actually quite fitting.

She lowered her eyes.

"No, sister, what exactly are you after? You're young, beautiful, from a good family. Why are you rushing to be someone's simp?"

Natalie continued questioning.

Mia kept her head down, her voice soft. "Because he once saved my life."

"Oh, post-traumatic stress disorder, medically called PTSD. Someone saves your life, and you start seeing them as your savior, can't help but fall in love with them?"

Natalie glanced at Evelyn Ross. "Evelyn saved your life yesterday too. You're not going to fall in love with her now, are you? After all, with love, gender isn't an issue!"

Mia Truman: "..."

Evelyn's mouth twitched. "Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense." Natalie grinned. "I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for Mr. Vance. With the Truman siblings, he has to guard against the brother and the sister? Tsk, Mr. Vance, your lineup of love rivals is a bit luxurious."

Alexander Vance: "...The one I should probably guard against the most seems to be you, right?"

Natalie immediately covered her face. "No need for that! I like clean-cut boys like Spencer Valentine, I'm not interested in women!~"

Mia Truman: "I don't like women either."

"Oh, oh, that's a shame. Otherwise, after yesterday's incident, you should have been able to let go of that scumbag." Natalie waved her hand. "Alright, back to the main topic. Continue your story. So you became that scumbag's simp? And he, for the money, wanted to kill you?"

Mia nodded.

Evelyn immediately asked, "The sports car had problems yesterday?"

Mia: "Yes, I drive that car every day."

Evelyn continued, "What time did you leave the house yesterday?"

Mia thought for a moment. "I should have left at 9:30. But the butler said the main gate was blocked, and I couldn't get out. So I waited for a while. Around 9:55, I couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go down to see the situation."

Evelyn: "Who told you the gate was blocked?"

Mia: "The butler."

Evelyn looked at Sebastian.

Sebastian understood her meaning and spoke up. "The butler is clean."

Evelyn lowered her gaze.

If this "accident" was meticulously planned by the Sterling Family, then the timing had to be exactly at 10 o'clock. Whether Mia went downstairs one minute early or one minute late, Sebastian wouldn't have jumped onto that sports car precisely at 10 and gotten into the accident.

If the timing was controlled so precisely by human design, it was terrifying.

Evelyn looked at Mia. "When you went downstairs, did anyone remind you?"

"No." Mia shook her head. "I had plans to hang out with a friend. I was running late, and he called me. That's why I couldn't wait any longer and went down."

"Which friend?"

Evelyn pressed immediately.

Mia hesitated for a moment, then uttered two words. "Liam Cooper."

Evelyn stood up. "Where is he now?"

Mia's face turned cold, her fingers clenched. "I haven't seen him yet."

Evelyn's tone was calm. "I need to see him. To see if he's being controlled. Otherwise, why call you to urge you downstairs at exactly 9:55, not earlier, not later? And your car just happened to be tampered with by him... In other words, Sebastian's 10 o'clock car accident could be said to be entirely orchestrated by him!"

Mia's jaw tightened, her eyes filled with despair and pain.

Evelyn looked at Sebastian.

Sebastian said flatly, "I wanted to call the police and have that guy dealt with yesterday. But Mia was still soft-hearted..."

Natalie: "No way, no way? There are still women as foolish as you these days? What do you see in him? That he doesn't love you? Even after all this, you're still not over your infatuation?"

Mia Truman: "..."

She bit her lip. Natalie's words were harsh, but every one of them was true.

Mia took a deep breath, as if making a decision. "Alright, I'll take you to him. I want to ask him face to face, why did he do this to me!"
