Regardless, Mary and Bob were Mia's adoptive parents. Even though they treated Mia badly, Patricia, their sister-in-law, later adopted Mia, providing a glimmer of hope.

No matter what, Dominic was grateful that the Bowens raised Mia.

However, Mary's and Bob's greed exceeded his expectations.

To think that they came to Mia's doorstep to issue threats? Unforgivable.

Mia closed the door and returned to the couch. "I knew this day would come from the moment the demolition was announced. They'd definitely come for that house."

Even biological families would fight over such things when it came to money, let alone adoptive parents.

Dominic declared, "Don't worry, Mia. Leave it to me."

It took him just a lift of his finger to deal with such people.

Patricia walked out of the kitchen, concerned. "Mia, I'm sure they won't stop here. They'll keep coming. Just how did they find this place? I swear I didn't tell anyone about it."

"I have a vague idea of what's going on. It's fine if they

    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.

    "Mia, regarding the Mael Neighborhood Project, the client specifically wants you to be in charge of it. They prefer your eye for aesthetics and details.""Okay. I'll stop by the studio." Mia hung up the call and headed to the studio.She wore a mask, fearing that her adoptive parents might catch her.Felix raised an eyebrow at her. "Playing detective?""I'm worried my adoptive parents might spot me. It'll cause trouble to everyone. You can send me the follow-ups of the project through email. I'll go through it to see if there's any problem."As soon as she settled at her desk, an unexpected guest stormed into the studio like a hungry beast."Mia Bowen!"Mia's head shot up at the unexpected guest.It was Wilhelmina.It had only been days, but she appeared disheveled in shabby clothes, as if she hadn't washed up for days.Mia put her work on hold for a moment. "Anything I can help you with?"Felix left his office immediately and stood before Mia. "Wilhelmina Jones, you're alre

    When Wilhelmina lunged at her, Mia stood frozen, unable to comprehend the sudden turn of events.Mia protected her belly instinctively, guarding her precious secret.Reacting swiftly, Felix managed to stop Wilhelmina by pushing her aside. He then yelled at her, "Are you out of your mind?"Wilhelmina cackled like a villain, her eyes on Mia's belly. "I know your secret, Mia Bowen. I know what you're hiding."Wilhelmina already had her suspicions about Mia's pregnancy before this confrontation.The more Wilhelmina thought about it, the more upset she was.While Wilhelmina was left with nothing, Mia was a top designer, and under Felix's wings at that!Being the green-eyed monster, Wilhelmina targeted Mia right at her belly to expose her secret.Unfortunately for Wilhelmina, Felix got in the way.Mia's face paled, her widened eyes staring at Wilhelmina.Something bad almost happened back there!Had it not been for Felix, Mia couldn't imagine what would've happened.Mia stepped f

    "When I charged at Mia, she instinctively shielded her belly. Her reaction was vehement. I've been holding on to these suspicions for a long time, but I couldn't prove it until today.""Why should I believe you? You told me that spreading rumors could bring her down, and yet look at what happened! My family told me off because of that!" Resentment clouded Wilhelmina's eyes as she thought, "Right, Shelly was able to get away with it because she's Ms. Barrett while I was held accountable for everything. No one bothered to care about my side of the story."Her voice dipped into an icy tone. "Mia was able to get away with it because there's a man backing her up. I think he's the baby's father."Shelly gave it a serious thought. "You have a point." Liam, the famous actor, was the man backing Mia up. If he hadn't gotten in Shelly's way, she would've been able to teach Mia a lesson.Shelly admired her newly manicured nails. "But this is just your side of the story. Unless, you can pro

    A heavy silence descended in an instant.Maya never expected to bump into Mia at the hospital. Maya quickly said, "Timothy, that woman in that man's arms looks so much like Mia. Am I seeing things?"Timothy pursed his lips. Maya could be right. It was Mia.Annoyed, he strode into the hospital grumpily. Maya was at his heels. "Timothy, why don't we go ask them? It could be Mia. We can check on her too. Although you've divorced, at least for old time's sake—""Shut up!" He halted in his tracks. He was so upset that a man was carrying Mia to the emergency room. "Where's your brother?""He's on the third floor. I can take you to him." Hints of his bad mood seemed to amuse Maya. Maya knew that framing it that way would put him in a bad mood. He wouldn't be bothered to care about Mia then, Maya believed.Judging from how the man carried Mia to the emergency room, Maya sensed that something was going on between them.As a man himself, how could Timothy possibly stomach it?The d

    Mia hesitated for a moment. "Connor, I don't want anyone to know that I'm pregnant, at least not until I'm officially divorced from Timothy."Connor couldn't understand her reason for that decision. "Why? Will the baby's father threaten you?"She shook her head and pleaded, "Just keep it a secret for me, please."She gave him her puppy eyes.Connor gave in within three minutes in the face of those puppy eyes. He thought that as his big brother, he should grant his sister's wish. Years of remorse shackled him. It was rare for Mia to ask a favor of him, so what else could he do besides letting her have it her way?What about his pride as her guardian? Now, it seemed insignificant compared to Mia's interests.He rubbed her head. "Alright, I'll keep it a secret for you. But you have to promise me you'll take good care of yourself. You have to tell me if you're feeling sick.""I promise! I contacted you right away this time," Mia exclaimed. The only person she could trust was C

    Connor tensed as soon as the nurse said that. He was on the verge of being exposed!Dubious, Mia looked at him. "Sister?"She wondered if he had another sister.He quickly explained, "Mia, you're my only sister. I swear!"Never once had he acknowledged Maya as his sister.Connor's nervous reaction tickled Mia's funny bones. "I didn't even say anything, Connor. Why so tense?"It was as though a girlfriend caught her boyfriend cheating on her.He let out a wry cough. "Anyway, I just wanted to straighten things out."He turned to face the nurse. "I got it. I'll leave in a while."The nurse was interrupted midway because he knew who the guest was.Today, Connor had an appointment with Timothy to discuss the surgical plan. Who would've expected Mia to be sent to the emergency room? Her well-being was of utmost importance at the moment."You should go ahead, Connor. I can manage here."Felix reassured him, "Don't worry. I'll look after her."Connor nodded. "Rest up, Mia. We'

    Maya was anxiety-ridden as she faced Timothy. "Timothy, I'm thinking of the bigger picture. It's best for everyone to know more about the surgical plan.""What's the point of him knowing more about the surgery? He's not a doctor." Connor was literally driving her to the edge with his calculated words.The smile on her face was barely holding up.Suppressing his anger, Timothy stood up and glared at Maya. "Let's talk about it after Dr. Lane meets with the other doctors."With that, he left the office. She grabbed at his arm, but he flung her hands away. There was no warmth in his eyes.In the end, Maya stayed riveted at her spot awkwardly. She looked back at Connor. "Connor, did you have to say that?""I was simply telling the truth, wasn't I? I thought both of you were all lovey-dovey because you were so jittery about marrying him. But based on what I've seen, I don't think he has feelings for you.""Connor, Timothy and I are getting engaged. He has feelings for me. He was pul

    None of the major shareholders was a fool.After that, Mia was busy handling Barrett Group affairs and barely had time to rest.With an exhausted look, she returned to the hospital.Mia looked at Timothy and said, "I'll run away if you don't wake up soon.""No… Please don't go…" Timothy grabbed her hand. His gaze was deep.Mia's eyes reddened as she gazed at the man who had just regained consciousness. Timothy finally came out of his coma.After that, everything was back to normal. Those who caused trouble quieted down.Sharon visited Timothy and told him that she was going to settle down overseas and would not come back anymore.Timothy bought her a property and gave her a huge sum of money before sending her away from Bern City.As for Maya, it was discovered that she was not the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island but merely his caregiver.

    Sage stood beside Timothy in silence.Soon, news that Timothy was hospitalized spread, and Barrett Group's stock plunged.The relatives of the Barrett family requested to hold a board meeting to elect another CEO.On the day of the board meeting, Mia brought her two children to Barrett Group.They managed to keep everyone on a leash as Sage bore a striking resemblance to Timothy.Mia marched into the meeting room, sat in Timothy's chair, and glanced at everyone present. "Let's begin. Didn't you all want to have a meeting?"One of the middle-aged men said, "Ms. Lane, this is the Barrett Group board meeting. It's not appropriate for you to be here.""That's right. Though the kids are Mr. Barrett's children, they're still young and do not have any shares. You all shouldn't be here."Mia flung a document onto the table. "This is an agreement signed by Grandma Laura to authorize me to manage Timothy's shares.""Anyway, we still need to elect a CEO to handle our company affairs.""

    "Because to me, you're my family too," Timothy said.When Sharon heard the word 'family', her eyes turned red. Then, she turned around and left the ward.Mia walked out and asked Peyton to send Sharon to the hospital for a checkup.Looking at Sharon's back, Mia said, "I hope you don't let him down since he regards you as his family. He's the only one you can depend on now."Sharon did not turn her head around. Mia did not know if Sharon would listen to her advice.Mia immediately called her brother. "Dominic, I met Maya."She then told him everything about Maya.Dominic frowned. "I never thought she would go to Yellow Island.""Do you think she's really the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island?""Don't you know how good she is at lying?" Dominic said.Mia nodded. "Yeah, you're right. But I still don't know whether she's related to Yellow Island.""Don't worry, I'll find out."When Mia returned to the ward after ending the call, she saw a doctor bustling arou

    Mia went straight to the hospital to ask Timothy about the matter.But when she arrived, someone had reached there earlier than her."Timothy, what do you mean? All I did was pull a few strings, but you want to humiliate me publicly. How am I going to maintain my standing in the company?" Sharon said.Mia went in with a frown. "This is funny. It's not just about pulling a few strings, but it's aimed at me. Mrs. Barrett, your actions have leaked confidential commercial information.""Stop trying to scare me. It's my son who opened doors for you. It's the Yellow Islanders who wanted to collaborate with us, and they are much better than you," Sharon retorted. Mia said with a half-hearted smile, "At first, I didn't want to pursue this matter. But since you put it this way, wait for my lawyer's letter then.""Such big talk, huh?" A mysterious-looking woman wearing a hat and a mask walked in from outside.Mia felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar. "Are you the rumored granddau

    Mia glanced at the person on the screen. Without answering the woman, she turned off the laptop.After all, there was no need for Mia to explain anything.After Mia turned off the laptop assertively, she turned around and looked at Timothy. He did not say a word but started eating.Soon, Heath received a call. He left the ward and said to the woman on the other side of the phone, "She's Mr. Barrett's ex-wife. You'd better not mess with her."While Timothy was eating, Mia finished reading the proposal in her hand.She had to admit that the document was very valuable.Mia was about to leave the ward when Timothy almost finished eating, but his voice sounded behind her. "What did you say when you met her at the cafe earlier?""Did you follow me?""I followed her, to be exact. After all, the Hopkins are not good people."Mia totally agreed with that.She paused briefly before she said, "Grandma Laura asked me to talk to her because she doesn't agree with you about giving her all

    "You don't know anything," Sharon said.Mia retorted, "I might not know everything, but Timothy is innocent. Before he knew the truth, he always regarded you as his mother. Even after he found out the truth, he has never mistreated you."Besides, when you said you wanted the Barrett family's wealth, he agreed. Tell me, who else could do what he did?"Mia felt that Timothy might have been hurt by Sharon's words.He seemed impressive on the outside, but his identity was a dark secret.Therefore, his relationship with Sharon became awkward.Sharon's eyes reddened. "But I also treat him like my biological son.""You're also his foster mother. Now everyone related to him is dead, and you're the only one he has. What are you afraid of?"Sharon wiped off her tears. "I'm not afraid of anything. It's just that I felt that I can't trust anyone.""Timothy is a man of his word. However, Grandma Laura said that if you remain stubborn, making the will public is her only option," Mia said.

    Mia noticed Sharon's expression changing slightly when she mentioned Laura.Sharon took her cup of coffee and said, "What? Does Mrs. Barrett Senior still want to lecture me even when she's on her deathbed? She must have known Timothy's identity all along, but she conspired with her son to keep the truth from me. "She and the Barretts are birds of a feather. What else does she have to say?"Mia was not surprised by her words. She had expected that Sharon would certainly think this way.Fortunately, she managed to stop Laura when she said she wanted to meet Sharon.Sharon was emotionally unstable now. What if Laura said something unpleasant and Sharon retorted? Her words might upset Laura.Mia took a kraft envelope out of her handbag and placed it in front of Sharon. "I hope you won't regret saying those words after reading this.""What's this?""This is the will that your husband left behind, as well as the divorce agreement."Hearing that, Sharon quickly took the document out

    Mia hesitated to risk exposing Laura to Sharon's potential agitation.Due to Sharon's emotional vulnerability, she often spoke impulsively. With Laura's delicate health in mind, any disruption was simply out of the question.As Laura recounted past events, Mia remained silent, absorbing her words.Upon hearing Laura's story, Mia was taken aback. She hadn't expected there to be hidden aspects to Timothy's family history.Taking a moment, she asked, "Does Timothy have any knowledge of this?""He doesn't. Some things are best kept from him," Laura replied calmly.Mia harbored some lingering questions in her mind. Unable to suppress them any longer, she asked, "Considering your knowledge of Timothy's background, what is your opinion of him?""Tim is a commendable young man, and he has never let our family down. He has achieved remarkably well for himself. To be honest, I feel indebted to him as well."At first, I only kept him around for the sake of preserving the Barrett family li

    Despite her initial reluctance, Mia eventually found herself making her way to Timothy's ward.As she entered, she couldn't help but notice Timothy's expressionless demeanor as he lay there.Carrying a tray of food, Mia approached him. "The doctor pointed out your extreme fatigue. It's crucial that you increase your food intake and prioritize proper rest to reduce the risk of sudden complications."Upon hearing Mia's voice, Timothy lifted his gaze to find her seated beside him. His lips moved slightly as he asked, "What did you tell Luna?""Not much," Mia responded. "Just a sprinkle of salt on the wound and a dash of psychological pressure to make sure Luna doesn't have it easy in prison."Placing the tray of food in front of him, Mia urged, "Please, just a few bites.""I'll eat later. By the way, the kids have been here at the hospital for quite a while. You should take them home," Timothy suggested.Frowning, Mia insisted, "You should eat something first."As her words faded,
