Chapter 224
Without the support of Mia’s six brothers today, Bob and Mary would have exhibited even greater
arrogance.
Directing his gaze toward Mia, Dominic remarked, “Vista Properties has a longstanding tradition
regarding
redevelopment. Typically, the individual who signs first enjoys preferential treatment.
“Besides the compensation for demolition, there might be additional benefits.”
“Is that so?” Mia responded with a smile. “Regardless of whether there is or not, as long as my
adoptive
parents can’t stir things up, I’m content.”
In truth, she harbored some reservations, especially given Vista Properties’s association with Maya and
Dominic.
During their previous encounter, Shelly had purposefully gotten in their way. Could Maya resort to
similar
tactics this time?
Dominic turned to look at her, offering reassurance, “Mia, if you have any concerns, feel free to share
them
with me.”

“Dominic, do you think there’s a chance that Vista Properties might unexpectedly halt the demolition
due to
some issue?
“Or perhaps manipulate the names of those involved in the relocation or their bank card information?”
“Mia, why would you entertain such thoughts? It’s highly unlikely. Vista Properties adheres to stringent
management rules and regulations.
“Rest assured, I’ll closely monitor the progress of this matter for you,” Dominic assured her.
Mia fell silent for a moment and then responded, “Alright, thanks, Dominic.”
If Maya did indeed pull some strings behind the scenes, Mia wouldn’t let it slide so easily.
Dominic’s eyes reflected a hint of confusion. Why was Mia worried that Vista Properties might engage
in covert actions?
He found Mia’s inquiry somewhat unusual.
After Mia left, she received a call from Felix. “Mia, how did the redevelopment proceedings go today?”
“Everything went smoothly. The paperwork has already been signed.”
“Congratulations, wealthy lady. Are you planning to work extra hours this afternoon? Would you like to
come and provide guidance at the site for the project you designed?”
“Of course, I’ll head there right away.”
After ending the call, Mia turned to her brothers, stating, “I need to put in some extra hours at the
studio. I’ll make sure to be back in time for dinner tonight.”

Patricia smiled reassuringly. “No worries. I’ll handle the grocery shopping. You may concentrate on your
work
Just make sure to be back for dinner on time this evening.”
Even though Dominic was tempted to propose dining out, he refrained from doing so upon witnessing
Patricia finally at ease.
Beneath Patricia’s gentle exterior, she was sincerely concerned for their well–being. Opting for a cozy
dinner at
home seemed like the better choice.
At this moment, Connor stepped forward, saying, “Mia, I’ll drive you there. It so happens I need to go to
Peace
Hospital.”
Mia hopped into Connor’s car, and as he navigated the road, he inquired, “Mia, is there any discomfort
in your
stomach?”
“No, Connor, you don’t have to worry so much.”

Do you
realize the potential consequences?”
Mia playfully stuck out her tongue. “I promise it won’t happen again.”
Connor sighed, feeling a bit helpless. “Where’s your overtime location? I can drive you there.”
“It’s alright. I’ll hop in a taxi straight to the venue. It’s not exactly en route to Peace Hospital, and it’s a
bit of a
distance.”
“I’m just going to the hospital for a routine check. There’s no urgency.”
With the conversation progressing as such, Mia had no choice but to input the wedding venue’s
address into the navigation system. An hour later, they arrived at the location.
The scenery was picturesque, almost as if it were tailor–made for outdoor weddings.
Connor surveyed the area, recognizing the surroundings as somewhat familiar. Where had he seen this
place before?
He inquired, “Finding a taxi here might be a challenge. How do you intend to get back later?”
“I’ll catch a ride with Felix. With so many people from the studio present, there’s bound to be a car
available.”
As Mia opened the car door and stepped out, she glanced up to see a familiar figure not far away …
