Chapter 186
Regardless, Mia would never be able to surpass Maya.
As Mia exited the Barrett Group, she briefly glanced back at the imposing skyscraper before walking away from the premises.
After returning home that evening, Patricia took Mia’s hand and shared, “Mia, I have some wonderful news to share. It appears our old neighborhood might be undergoing redevelopment.”
“Redevelopment? Are you serious?”
Mia hadn’t considered the possibility of her old neighborhood being redeveloped. Could this be a stroke of
luck?
Just when she was in dire need of money, did she Ironically become eligible for compensation?
Patricia was equally excited.” Yes, it’s true. I revisited our old neighborhood today and chatted with some neighbors. The word on the street is that we’ll have a meeting in a few days to voice our opinions.
“I’ve heard they’re considering two options–one is to provide a new house, and the other is to offer
compensation in cash.”
Mia held Patricia’s hand. “That’s fantastic news. When the time comes, we’ll weigh our options and decide
which one suits us best.”
“I’m sure Bob and Mary will eventually catch wind of this, and I anticipate there might be a commotion again. It’s wiser to inform your brothers sooner rather than later.
“Let’s see who can come and visit us. This way, it can prevent Mary from rallying her family to harass us.”
Having endured mistreatment for so many years due to her vulnerable position, Patricia now yearned for a
moment of triumph.
When Mia’s six brothers showed up to support her, let’s see who dared to cause trouble then.
Understanding Patricia’s intent, Mia nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll discuss it with my brothers later,
After dinner, Mia tidied up and settled into bed. She sent a message to her family’s WhatsApp group, briefly explaining the situation regarding the demolition of her old neighborhood.
Eva was the first to respond, “Demolition is a positive development! Mia, you’re truly fortunate.”
Dominic chimed in with some playful flattery. “Our Mia is like a little lucky star, I’ve been selling so many houses recently. It must be because of Mia’s influence.”
Soon, all of Mia’s brothers joined the conversation, showering her with exaggerated compliments and playful banter.
Mia couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation.
She replied, “That’s not the point. The main concern is that once Bob and Mary find out, they’ll undoubtedly
“I’m wondering if any of you have the time to come and help me handle the situation.”
Dominic texted promptly, “Absolutely, I’m available. I was planning to take a break and come over in the next couple of days anyway.”
Nathan chimed in, “Perfect, I haven’t taken my annual leave either.”
Connor assured, “How convenient. I’m currently in Bern City and can come over at any time.”
Claude added, “I have a concert in Bern City, but I can arrive early.”
Jason contributed, “I can come for a business trip.”
Liam concluded, “The film I was working on has just wrapped up. I can head over for a vacation.”
Reading the text messages from her six brothers, Mia felt a warm sensation in her heart.
She gently touched her belly, imagining that when her baby was born, they would also have many uncles
caring for them.
The next day, with no college classes scheduled, Mia went straight to the studio for work.
For now, her top priority was to earn money.
Shortly after stepping into the studio, Mia was startled by the loud voices of Bob and Mary approaching from
behind. “Mia, you brat! How dare you make it difficult for us to find you!”
As Mia turned around and spotted Bob and Mary, an uneasy expression crossed her face. “How on earth did
you two locate this place?”
It shouldn’t be possible. Bob and Mary shouldn’t be aware of her workplace!
Mary approached, hugging Mia’s legs and wailing. “Ted has been forced into this situation. Don’t you feel
guilty for avoiding us like this?”
