: Targeting The Enemy's Pride

"Well? What did she say?" William just got back to Mia's apartment and she had already bothered him for answers

"Can't I enter the house and have a sit first? Or maybe grab a drink? Just talking to that girl boils me in anger because I was reminded of that day" William said and went in the kitchen to get a glass of cold water to drink and sat down on the sofa

William showed Mia the contract of Snap!

"So they want me back now? I don't think they deserve my second chance!" Mia scoffed seeing the contract

"I already told Amy that but she insists that we think about it"

"She also said she did not intend to steal your job but she still did the shoot anyway because the boss insisted her to. She was actually there to apply as the boss' assistant photographer that is why she was there asking for a job" William recalled and finished his glass of water

"So they postponed the release today regardless of the fact they have a front cover photo to use but didn't because we slandered her reputation" Mia had caught up to what Snap! was thinking

"And if I haven't done that, the magazine will be released today with her photo!" Mia had gotten frustrated, after coming to a realization that they thought Amy was a suitable replacement

Adding the fact that the best photographer had thought of this!

If it weren't only because they were thinking of the magazine's sales, they will still release the magazine regardless of Amy's reputation

"William, sign the contract, I will show them no one will ever be suitable to be Mia George's replacement!"

William was confused how Mia changed her mind, he did not caught up that easy

Regardless, he still signed the contract and notified Snap! about this

...

Back at the studio

"So, how was it?" Gabby asked Amy as she sat down at the lobby's chair

"They are thinking about it" Amy casually said while she is smiling

She is confident Mia will accept it, because if she didn't, her photo will be used just after her reputation had recovered. With this idea, Mia's pride will be killed thinking a nobody to the modeling world was suitable to be her replacement

"You look confident about it" Gabby can't help but smile as well, Amy's smile is really contagious

Just then, he received a call from manager Reys notifying him that they have signed the contract and asking where they can meet to discuss it

After speaking with manager Reys, Gabby turned to face Amy again "No wonder you are so confident, you have convinced them. Congratulations miss Mills" Gabby praised Amy for her business skills

"Oh, it was nothing, just target her pride and she will submit" Amy explained how she handled it smoothly

Her problems are not yet over, she still has that scheming family of hers

...

The next day

Gabby was having a meeting with Mia and William to make an agreement, since the incident last time was unforgettable, Mia had thought of a few demands

Amy is supposed to be there but she had some personal things to attend to

Like paying her mother a visit

She was standing outside their villa, this did not include with the condition of 'not stepping inside the house' because the ground she was standing on was outside of their territory

She pressed the doorbell a couple of times before someone already opened the gate for her

"Miss Amy, please come in" the guard invited her in but she refused

"I don't think my mother would want that, could you please tell her to go to me here instead since I am not allowed inside the house?" Amy requested, the sun was shining bright making it too hot to even stand outside for a few seconds. She knows her mother will refuse her request and will allow her to get inside just this once

Amy is a clever girl, she had thought of everything already

The guard came back without her mother as expected "The madam told me to assist you inside the garden if you wish to speak to her" Amy had agreed and walked ahead letting the guard follow her instead

"What do you need?" Carol asked immediately so she could get rid of her already

"The public wants the truth and demanded for us to have a DNA test, I am here to collect a sample" Amy also directly said, she too does not want to stick too long in here

"Isn't the adoption papers proof enough?" Carol asked, ignoring to give her a sample

"I believe it wasn't and they even wanted to know if it was Ally's adoption papers" Amy is just calm standing there while her mother is already getting angry

"I reject to give you a sample, the adoption papers are yours!" Carol angrily said

"Mother, unless we give them a DNA result, they will not believe you and your sister's words. Do you prefer to be the liars now?" Amy had once again targeted her enemy's pride

So Carol had no choice but to give in, she gave Amy a strand of her hair as sample "There, are you done?" Carol asked frustrated

Amy took the strand and placed it in the plastic she had prepared "Actually no, I want you and Ally to also take the test and promise to never tamper with the results, you are not allowed to know it in advance. We must see it together"

"If you have failed to cooperate with my conditions, you will make me the leader of Mills Tech!" Amy said firmly, explaining every detail of her demands.

Carol thought Amy was thinking too highly of herself, even the consequence is something she can't reach! How will Carol let a brainless liar handle their family business?

Carol just scoffed and quickly thought of how to handle the test

She can't let Amy have what she wanted!

"Fine, I agree" Carol agreed with her fingers crossed in her mind as she shook hands with Amy

After Amy left, Carol had a scheming look and asked someone to follow Amy and find out which hospital she will take the test
