Mia thought it was strange. Who did she offend?
There weren’t many that would be offended by her, other than Shelly and Maya.
This was all starting to make sense.
Mia said, “I’m not sure yet.”
Just then, a car came to a halt by the roadside. Dominic’s expression darkened as he descended from the car.
“Mia, are you alright? Where is Bob and Mary? Let me talk to them.”
Mia shook her head and replied, “They’re already gone.”
Bob and Mary, who were always pestering her, left quickly because they wanted to avoid Dominic. They were worried that he was going to teach them a lesson.
Felix turned to Mia and said, “Mia, let’s send Aunt Patricia back first.”
Dominic frowned as his gaze landed on Felix.
In an unfriendly tone, he asked, “Who are you?”
Mia interrupted hastily to introduce Felix to him, “Dominic, he’s my boss, and also my senior at school.”
Felix flashed a smile at Dominic as he greeted him, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Lane.”
Dominic gave a vague response. So, Felix was the boss of the studio that Connor mentioned. It appeared that he had been the one who sent Mia to the hospital in the nick of time.
Well, he looked decent. To Dominic, the fact that he sent Mia to the hospital made him barely tolerable.
When he glanced back at Mia and Patricia, his expression softened as he said, “Get in the car. I’ll send both of you back first.”
After Mia helped Patrica get in the car, she turned back and waved at Felix.
“Thanks for today, Felix.”
“Don’t mention it.”
Felix glanced over at their Volkswagen as he watched them leave. He narrowed his eyes when he realized this wasn’t just any ordinary model.
It was a Volkswagen Phaeton, and he was certain that it would cost at least a few hundred thousand dollars. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Basically, it wasn’t an affordable car.
It suddenly hit him that Mia wasn’t being completely honest with him. He didn’t expect her to be well off. No
wonder she could afford the house that cost millions in her area. He knew it wasn’t possible for her to
purchase that house on a loan.

A pang of confidence shot through him as he made his mind up. He had to make her his, so he wouldn’t have
to work that hard in the future.
Once they were in the car, Patricia asked anxiously, “Mia, what if Bob and Mary really received the demolition
payment?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Aunt Patricia. They won’t be able to,” Dominic answered as he drove, “I’ve been in real estate for years, and I know how things work. Trust me.”
Mia nodded in approval as she chimed in, “Aunt Patricia, Dominic’s right. You have to trust him so we can resolve this matter.”
When they arrived home, Eva comforted Patricia. Mia and Dominic took their seats in the living room.
After a while, Mia said, “Dominic, after Felix inquired from the Demolition Department, it appears that I’ve offended someone.”
“Rest assured. I’ve already sent someone to look into what happened.”
Dominic was holding back his anger. He couldn’t tolerate how things still went wrong despite meeting up with George over a meal to remind him about this.
Walter rang him up shortly after. He went to the veranda with his phone. When he turned around, his expression was sullen.
“So, who is it?”
He would most definitely seize the mastermind of this incident and break his legs.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Walter replied, “It seems like the Barrett family is involved in this.”
“What?”
When Dominic heard the Barretts being mentioned, he quickly spun around and glanced at Mia, who was in the living room. He lifted his hand and shut the veranda door.
Only then did he lower his voice and asked Walter, “Did you find out why?”
How dare Timothy target Mia? What was he trying to do?
Could it be that he was using the demolition to coerce Mia into becoming his mistress?
