Mis felt particularly strange when Dylan told her to come back home at a reasonable hour while he was away.

It sounded like Mia was a disobedient wife while Dylan was the bossy husband.

In short, she felt that everything about Dylan was weird.

"Maybe I'm overthinking!"

Mia murmured, then picked up Bella's file to read.

She read the part of Bella's family background with extra care.

There was not much of it. However, it was very informative. The more Mia read it, the more shocked she felt, and the deeper the smile on her mouth became.

Bella used to be the Wilson Family's, young lady. But she enjoyed the status for only the first ten years of her life.

Wyatt Wilson, the Wilson Family's head, and Maya Flores married for almost ten years and had no children. Along with their family fortune's growth, Wyatt adopted a girl for fear that his wife would feel bored at home. And Bella was that adopted girl.

Everything was fine until Bella was ten.

That year, Maya, who was already forty, got pregnant.

Although Bella was a child girl back then, she was already quite calculating.

She knew clearly that after Maya gave birth to a kid, girl or boy, her family position would be degraded.

Thus, Bella actually pushed Maya down the stairs when Wyatt was not around.

It was almost a miracle that Maya did not lose her baby.

That was when Bella's life began to change.

She was kicked out of the house by Wyatt and forced to live alone. From time to time, Maya gave her some living expenses and even invited her back home for festivals for the sake of their former bonding.

Of course, that was it.

The rest of the part elaborated on how Bella maintained a miserable life after she was driven out of the family. However, reading the content line by line did not arouse any empathy in Mia's heart.

Bella made a mistake in the first place and deserved the punishment.

It shocked Mia that Bella actually tried to kill the baby in her stepmother's belly.

Suddenly she felt that what Bella did to her was nothing.

What kind of woman was Bella to actually push a pregnant woman off stairs? That pregnant woman was her adoptive mother.

Mia concluded from what Maya had done to Bella after that event that Maya treated Bella just like her real daughter. Presumably, she would not mistreat Bella after she gave birth to a child.

However, Bella personally threw a wet blanket on Maya's motherhood. Ultimately, Bella's misery was not pitiful as she had got what she deserved.

There was a photo on the profile page, and the smile on the girl's face was sweet and adorable. But in Mia's eyes, it was ironic.

That face once confused Mia and made her believe in Bella and regard the latter as a friend.

After putting the file back on the table, Mia thought she had to revise her own Bella view. Bella was a woman who actually attacked her pregnant adoptive mother. What might she do to Mia if she was pushed to the limit?

The thought made Mia feel cold in her back.

Mia wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and managed to resume her heartbeat. She decided to call the Department Director in University to make an appointment to drop out of the school.

When Mia told the Department Director her idea on the phone, the latter was surprised. "Someone else is dealing with the matter for you. You won't get punished and just have to come back for classes."

At the words, Mia was surprised too. Who helped her? She would not get punished? Was Dylan the resourceful helper?

A strange warmth crossed her heart. However, thinking about Dylan's attitude this morning, Mia thought that it should not be him.

But she could not think of another possibility.

"Hello, Mia? Are you still there?"

"Yes, I'm listening," Mia answered. When she was about to ask for details, a knock on the door reached her ears through the line, and the Department Director said, "Someone is visiting, and I got to go. Return to school soon."

Then, the call was ended quickly. The busy tone somewhat frustrated Mia.

She decided that she had to figure out who that helper was.

She picked up her phone and immediately thought of Dylan.

She found Dylan's number on her mobile phone, which was noted as "Husband."

Dylan typed the number in, and his idea to name the number "Husband." Upon seeing it, Mia felt embarrassed for a second at that moment.

However, she felt strangely warm at this moment.

Listening to the beeping sound coming from the other end of the line, Mia felt extremely nervous.

She could not wait to find out if it was Dylan or not.
