Chapter 289
The duo were at the beauty salon, so Shelly couldn’t pick up the call.
Now, it was Wilhelmina’s turn not answering the call.
Shelly gave it a thought for a moment. “Not sure. Wilhelmina–that fool–lost her reputation and job. Who knows if she’s lying for money? Getting money is her top priority now.”
Maya nodded. “That is another possibility. But she wouldn’t have said it without a reason, would
she?”
“If Mia’s pregnant, could it be Timothy’s child? Won’t this put you at a disadvantage?” Shelly suggested.
Maya’s brows furrowed as she didn’t share the same notion.
After all, Mia had been close with Connor these days, making the possibility of him being the baby’s father stand.
The guess alone cast a pall of foreboding over Maya. Mia must never get acquainted with the Lane brothers!
Something felt off no matter how Maya thought about it. She called her assistant. “Look into Mia’s records in the hospital. Check if she’s pregnant.”
If Mia was really pregnant, no matter who the father was, Maya couldn’t let Mia give birth to that baby.
Shelly spoke, “Ms. Lane, how are things going with the demolition? I can’t wait to see Mia suffer.”
“I’ve got everything covered. Don’t worry. She won’t be able to receive the money.”
A cold glint flickered in Maya’s eyes. Being able to do such trivial things was still within her power.
If someone was to be blamed, Mia was it. After all, she had the audacity to trick and force Mayal into apologizing to her!
Now, it was time for Mia to get into trouble.
Mia returned home after the checkup and there was a restless Patricia on the couch.
Patricia’s eyes couldn’t leave the phone.
Mia asked, “What’s wrong, Aunt Patricia?”
+15 BONOS
“Mia, I heard that the compensation for the demolition was transferred yesterday, but we haven’t received anything until today. I asked around and other people have received the money. We’re the only ones who have yet to receive it. Do you think something went wrong?”
That was weird. “This shouldn’t be happening. Did you give them the card I told you to give them?
“Mia inquired.
“I did. I even took a picture just in case. I’ve checked the account number. It’s the right one.”
*Calm down, Aunt Patricia. I’ll go to Vista Properties tomorrow. It is a huge company. There shouldn’t be any issue.” Mia comforted Patricia.
Considering how Maya threatened her with this matter, she suspected it had something to do with
Maya.
Regardless, she had to visit Vista Properties to get to the bottom of it.
It was ridiculous that Mia’s family was the only one who didn’t receive the compensation.
Even if Maya was trying to take control of everything, Mia wouldn’t let that happen.
Mia returned to her room and contacted Nathan. “Nathan, I have a question.”
“What?”
“How can I hack into a company’s system if there’s something I’m looking for?”
His brow raised slightly. “Which company are you trying to hack into?”
A cough resounded. “I’m not trying to hack into any company’s system. I’m just curious. I’ve finished the homework you assigned, so I guess I’m a half–hacker myself. I’m itching to try it on
my own.”
Realizing her talent in information technology was a surprise to her.
Before this, when Wilhelmina spread awful rumors about Mia in school, Nathan tracked her down through the IP address.
That was how Mia got interested in it and asked him to teach her.
