The next time I saw Mia, it was at the courthouse.
She was suing Nathan for unpaid wages.
Nathan was countersuing her for leaking trade secrets.
Their fight had turned bitter.
I was at the courthouse to file documents for creditor claims tied to Carter Group's old projects.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw reporters surrounding Mia.
"Ms. Lane, rumors online say you interfered in Mr. Carter's marriage. Is that true?"
She wore sunglasses and refused to back down.
"Mr. Carter and I had a strictly professional working relationship."
The reporter asked again, "Then why were you wearing the Carter family's heirloom brooch?"
Mia's face stiffened.
Just then, Margaret rushed out from the side.
"She stole it! That woman stole our family property and drove my son into bankruptcy!"
