Observing Dominic and Eva's solemn expressions, Mia couldn't help but wonder if they were about to delve into the recent kidnapping orchestrated by Bob and Mary.Feeling a bit uneasy, Mia obediently set down the bowl and asked, "Sure, what do you want to discuss?"Dominic spoke up. "Eva and I have been thinking about this for a while. Would you consider coming back to Nord City and living with us?"Eva, seated beside Mia, looked at her and Patricia reassuringly. "Don't worry, if you choose to return with us to Nord City, the entire family will move together."We'll make arrangements for James to be transferred to another hospital. Once in Nord City, everyone will be well taken care of."Upon hearing this, Mia instinctively glanced at Patricia, who appeared indifferent.Given that Mia was carrying Timothy's child, she did contemplate returning to Nord City for childbirth due to safety concerns.However, Patricia had spent her entire life in Bern City, and asking her to uproot her

Unexpectedly, Mia found herself face-to-face with Maya sooner than she had anticipated.The tension between them was unmistakable.With an air of triumph, Shelly interjected, "Mia, today's event is organized by Vista Properties, Maya's family conglomerate. She is in charge and will be delivering a speech later on."Maya also took on a condescending posture. She had yet to retaliate for the slap Mia gave her during their last encounter.Mia raised an eyebrow and retorted with an icy tone, simply saying, "Okay."Feeling dissatisfied, Shelly persisted in her threats, "Mia, you must be afraid, right? Let me make this clear. With Maya in charge, don't even think about securing any scholarships."Arching an eyebrow, Mia replied, "While I may not attach significant importance to that scholarship, Maya, given your role as the person overseeing this event, aren't you worried about the potential repercussions of orchestrating things covertly?"Maya's lips curled into a chilling smile. "Ev

Upon revealing that, Mia couldn't help but notice the distinct change in Maya and Shelly's demeanor, gradually transforming into expressions of anger.Unable to contain her frustration, Shelly exclaimed, "Mia, how dare you manipulate us like this?"Mia responded with a smirk. "Indeed, you two were the unwitting pawns in my game. Is the truth too much for you to handle?"Shelly was on the verge of lashing out physically.With an air of nonchalance, Mia cautioned, "Consider your actions carefully. There's a crowd watching. If you choose to resort to physical aggression, have you thought about how you'll explain it?""I'll slap you if I feel like it. I don't need to explain myself to anyone."Nevertheless, Maya stepped in, holding Shelly back. "Let's go. I have important tasks to handle. Our time shouldn't be wasted on this confrontation."Mia made a valid point. Considering Shelly's status as a public figure at this event, an altercation could tarnish the entire affair.Maya foun

After consulting with Jason and Claude, Liam and his brothers unanimously decided to shed their facade of poverty.It was time to establish themselves as Mia's reliable support.Claude nodded in agreement with Jason, expressing, "Mia, your brothers and I are now financially secure. Nathan's company has also secured a listing on the stock market."With these positive developments, our family is no longer short of funds. In the future, you can purchase whatever you desire without worrying about financial constraints."Mia was momentarily moved and found herself at a loss for words. "Then I need to work even harder. In the future, I aspire to become a renowned designer and not be a burden to you all."Hearing these heartfelt words, Liam's eyes welled up with tears. Initially, they had hoped Mia would rely on them, but her dedication and ambition caught them by surprise.It was deeply touching. How could Mia be so hardworking and endearing?As evening fell, Dominic, Nathan, and Conn

Mia detected Timothy's familiar interrogative tone, tinged with an air of superiority. His gaze remained as penetrating as ever.Running her fingers through her freshly dried hair, Mia teased, "Why don't you take a guess?"Timothy couldn't help but notice her subtle movements.Mia's hair cascaded to one side, and the strap of her camisole delicately slid down, revealing a generous expanse of skin that glowed warmly under the soft lighting.Timothy was briefly stunned, not anticipating such a provocative scene.He felt a lump in his throat, and his gaze grew intense. Was Mia doing this intentionally?However, she appeared entirely oblivious to the fact that she was inadvertently exposing herself.As Timothy lapsed into a sudden silence during the video call, Mia commented, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll go ahead and hang up.""Mia, you still haven't answered my question! Don't assume you can allure me just by dressing like this. Even if you were to undress in front of me,
