Chapter 50 Doubting Your Intelligence
Vania hummed in response as she was unaffected by Melanie’s fury. She nodded and said, “But what if I decide to go against you anyway? What are you going to do about that?”
Melanie stomped over and stood right in front of Vania. Glaring right at Vania, she snarled, “What on earth are you going to do?”
She grew increasingly unsettled. Apart from Vania’s children, there was nothing that she could use against Vania.
Vania leaned back into her chair and pulled away from Melanie. “I’m not doing anything. Why are you getting all worked up? Although… I do have something to tell you, and it might be very crucial information for you.”
Since Melanie still had not figured things out, her intelligence was something that Vania began to doubt.
As for Melanie, she had no clue what Vania wanted to tell her. Crucial information for me?
Melanie grew a little suspicious and glanced condescendingly at Vania. “Hurry up and say it, then.”
“I’m really beginning to doubt if you even have a brain. Haven’t you figured it out yet? Isn’t it obvious that I’m talking about Master Mia?” Vania stated plainly, “I thought you were dying to meet her? I heard that you’ve waited here for two days, and you’re even willing to spend a large sum of money just to set an appointment with her. Since you’ve gone through all that effort, then the least I could do is grant your wish, right? Of course, I had to let you meet her.”
An impatient Melanie burst out, “Then, just hurry up and tell me where Master Mia is now.”
Vania’s voice was dripping with sarcasm. “Melanie Greyson, you should really get that brain of yours checked at the hospital. Earlier, I told you that Master Mia is here. Didn’t you send some people out to check on that? You’ve confirmed that Master Mia is here in this building. Now, we’re in Master Mia’s office and I am sitting at Master Mia’s desk. Why don’t you take a stab in the dark and guess that maybe I am Master Mia, the person that you’ve searched high and low for?”
Immediately, Melanie’s expression turned into one of disbelief. She shook her head and declared, “What a load of nonsense! You’re lying. How can you be Master Mia? She is one of the most celebrated designers in the world, and there’s no way you can even come close to the likes of her. Stop beating around the bush and feeding me nonsense.”
Vania snorted at that. “How bored do you think I am? I don’t have the time to sit around and toy with you. I’m telling you right now that I, Vania Greyson, am Master Mia. Master Mia is just a moniker of mine. If I’m not Master Mia, then why do you think I showed up here? Why am I now sitting at her desk?”
None of this convinced Melanie. She was in a state of absolute panic and she started shaking her head as she stared in front of her in disbelief. “No, that’s impossible! You can’t be Master Mia. You’re lying to me. You must be lying to me.”
All of a sudden, she screamed toward the door, “Hello?! Someone, come right now! There’s someone here who’s pretending to be Master Mia! Hurry up and call the police to arrest her!”
The staff outside could hear the screams, so one of them knocked on the door and entered the office—it turned out to be Melody.
Melody had an invitation card in her hand and bowed respectfully toward Vania while saying, “Master Mia, this is the invitation card for today. Please take a look.”
Melanie glanced between the two of them and her eyes grew cold. “Oh—I see what’s happening. Both of you teamed up to fool me, huh? You tricked me into giving you money, and now you’re trying to keep up the pretense? Would you believe me if I told you that I’m going to call the police to come and arrest both of you swindlers?!”
It was clear that Melanie refused to believe the truth that was right in front of her eyes. Instead, in her muddled frenzy, she began to act like a madwoman.
