Mia couldn't help but chuckle at Sharon's surprised expression. Truth be told, Timothy had only used that claim to brush off Mia's adoptive parents, who had showed up looking for cash.Mia didn't expect him to turn it into a retort against Sharon, without any hint of respect.His gaze was shifted to Mia the next second, causing a hitch in her breath.She thought it was weird of him to look at her since she wasn't the one who said that. Timothy questioned her coldly, "Why did you transfer 100 thousand dollars to me?"Mia was taken aback by his question. "I was repaying your mother. Since I didn't have her contact, I transferred it to you. Please help me transfer it to your mother."He glanced at Sharon. "What happened?""Tim, Mia's adoptive parents came seeking money. I gave them 100 thousand dollars to get rid of them. It's not that much anyways," Sharon answered nonchalantly.His brows furrowed. "You shouldn't have done that."He knew that Mia's adoptive parents were oppor

Mia didn't expect to bump into the duo at the airport. Judging by their lack of luggage, she doubted they were here for a trip.She wondered if they were here to pick someone up.The arrogant Shelly remarked, "What are the odds? Why do we see you everywhere we go?"Mia replied indifferently, "I have the same question."The trio entered the airport, heading to the waiting area on the first floor.Maya glanced at Mia. "Picking someone up too?"Shelly grinned. "I bet she is. Her salary only allows her to travel by train and cab. How could she afford a flight ticket? It's expensive."Mia's eyelid twitched. "Are you sure you've had an education? Why is your maturity equivalent to that of an elementary kid? Does taking a flight fan your ego that much?""Who are you calling an elementary kid, Mia Bowen? I graduated from a prestigious university, unlike you who quit school," Shelly snapped back, her ego clearly bruised. "Oh, does buying a certificate from a random college count too?

Connor glanced at his phone before answering the call, "Yes?""Connor, did you know that Dominic and Eva flew back today?" Maya questioned. "Really? I had no clue." He sensed Maya's attempt to pry information, but he remained tight-lipped. Eva had discreetly updated the others that Mia picked the couple up from the airport without anyone's knowledge, narrowly avoiding Maya.Connor had no intention of letting Maya in on the secret.Meanwhile, Maya was still waiting in the parking lot. Time ticked by but there was no sight of Dominic and Eva. Maya sensed that something was off. Still on the phone with Connor, she asked him, her voice tinged with suspicion, "You seriously didn't know?""I've been swamped with work. How would I know?""Dominic and Eva are really here! I was a bit late to the airport, so I didn't manage to pick them up. Call them and ask where they are so we can have a meal together. They're going to attend my engagement ceremony. I need to thank them properly."

The moment Mia saw who was standing there, an instinct to shut the door overwhelmed her.Assuming it was Connor who forgot his keys, she didn't bother checking through the peephole, a choice she is regretting now."Mia Bowen, how dare you close the door?" Mary forcefully shoved her way in, shamelessly invading the space. "We've been searching for you for ages. How can you live in such an upscale place when you're broke? Liar."Bob spoke sternly, "Let's get one thing straight, Mia Bowen. Don't even think about laying a finger on the house earmarked for demolition and money. They're for my son. He's the sole heir of the family."Mia retorted icily, "That house belongs to Aunt Patricia. You don't have the right to do anything with it.""She only has a daughter. What use does she have for the house and money? My eldest brother is still in the hospital. If you take the house and money and marry another man, what should we do? As his brother, I should look after his assets. Otherwise, h

Mia set the dining table before coaxing Patricia out of her room. With teary eyes, Patricia admitted, "Look at me. My mind went blank when there was a problem. My husband was a stern man too. It is all thanks to Mia that we were protected from bad guys."Dominic felt a huge weight of guilt.If the Lane family hadn't lost Mia, she wouldn't have needed to go through that.After experiencing Mary and Bob's antics first-hand, he couldn't possibly imagine how arrogant they were in the past.It gave Dominic more reasons to resolve the issue with Maya and bring Mia back to the Lane family. The dinner ended. Dominic, Eva and Mia delved into a discussion about the demolition, strategizing for a solution.For Dominic, the discussion felt like an overkill to him because he could easily delegate the task to his subordinates to solve the problem.Unbeknownst to others, Eva had stepped on his feet a few times to keep him composed. They couldn't let the facade slip. They could settle it
