Mia pursed her lips and remarked, “If you’re capable, go ahead and investigate. Once you find something. come back and negotiate the terms with me.”
Just then, Connor’s voice echoed from outside the door, “Mla.”
“On my way.” Mia replied, promptly ending the call.
On the other end of the call, Timothy detected a man’s voice, finding it somewhat familiar–it sounded like
Connor, Maya’s brother.
Timothy couldn’t help but wonder. Why was Connor with Mia this early in the morning? Could they have spent
the night together?
As these thoughts raced through Timothy’s mind, an uneasy feeling settled in his heart.
With a stern expression, he directed his attention to Heath, asking. “How’s the progress on investigating the redevelopment of Mia’s old neighborhood?”
Feeling overwhelmed, Heath replied, “What old neighborhood redevelopment? Oh, you mean the project on the
east side of the city?
“Our company has already settled matters with the residents. There shouldn’t be any issues.”
Frustrated, Timothy rubbed his temples and clarified, “I’m referring to Mia’s old neighborhood! What are you
thinking?”
Heath nervously swallowed and continued, “Mr. Coleman from Optima Construction mentioned that someone from our company had approached them.
“Upon investigation, it seems to be someone from Ms. Shelly’s team. Therefore, this matter is likely connected
to her.”
Given Shelly’s past actions against Mia, there could be a connection.
With a hint of impatience, Timothy pressed, “Anything else?”
“Well, today is the scheduled day for signing documents in the old neighborhood.
“The house owned by Ms. Mia and Ms. Patricia has been claimed by Mia’s adoptive parents, who were able to sign the papers ahead of others,” Heath elaborated.
With a furrowed brow, Timothy rose from his seat and declared, “I’m heading to that old neighborhood right
now.”
Heath looked puzzled. “Aren’t you going back to the company to address Ms. Shelly’s matter? The PR
department is still waiting for you.”
“If the PR department requires my intervention, then what purpose do they serve?” Timothy shot back.
With that, he grabbed his suit jacket and left.

Heath couldn’t help but sigh. Was Timothy still eager to go and clarify things with Mia?
Upon ending her call with Timothy, Mia exited her bedroom and found all six of her brothers gathered in the living room.
“Why are you all here?” she asked, a hint of surprise in her voice.
Dominic flashed a grin. “We promised to come and support you, so here we are.”
Mia was momentarily touched by the gesture. It was reassuring to have the support of her family.
Following breakfast, they embarked on their journey to the old neighborhood.
Outside the vicinity, a large crowd had already assembled early in the morning.
Upon arriving, Mia and her brothers entered the expansive courtyard of the old neighborhood alongside Patricia, encountering many familiar faces among the neighbors.
With six tall and commanding bodyguards at her side, Mia exuded an intimidating aura.
At that moment, a friendly old neighbor spoke up loudly. “Mia, your adoptive parents are here as well, right over there.”
Following the indicated direction, Mia spotted Bob and Mary hesitantly standing in a corner, with Wilhelminal alongside them.
Seeing Mia with her six brothers, Bob and Mary’s faces turned pale.
They were visibly frightened, recalling how Mia had single–handedly dealt with them last time. Now, with six men accompanying her, the dread of a more severe outcome struck them.
In contrast, Wilhelmina appeared unfazed. Approaching with a cold smirk, she remarked, “Mia, is it really necessary to bring along so many men? Are they all your past flames?
“I must say, I’m genuinely impressed by your ability to maintain a harmonious dynamic among these six handsome gentlemen. You certainly possess quite a skill.”
Remaining composed, Mia addressed Wilhelmina, “You truly have the audacity to show up here, don’t you? Haven’t you been online?”
Given the extensive coverage of Shelly’s incident, anyone with Internet access was well–informed about it.
Indeed, such a scandal posed a threat even to those with powerful connections. Yet, here stands Wilhelmina, daring to make an appearance.
