Timothy lowered the car window. Seeing the couple in an embrace, his gaze noticeably turned colder.
Heath, seated in the passenger seat, expressed surprise, “Isn’t that Dr. Connor?”
“My eyes are working fine. I don’t need you to remind me,” Timothy retorted.
He slowly withdrew his hand from the car door where it had been resting.
As Mia approached the neighborhood entrance, the bustling crowd nearly knocked her to the ground,
and her face paled with fright. Fortunately, Connor arrived just in time to intervene.
If a stampede were to occur here, it could pose a threat to her unborn baby.
Still a bit shaken, Connor advised, “Mia, you can’t act impulsively like that, especially since you’re
pregnant!”
Mia playfully stuck out her tongue. “I’m aware. I saw Aunt Patricia rushing out, and I got worried. I
wanted to catch up with her, but I didn’t expect such a large crowd.”
“Mia, you can always rely on us. You have six brothers, you know? Just now, you could have let us go
and find Aunt Patricia for you,” Connor assured.
He gently tapped Mia on the head. “Don’t do this next time,” he cautioned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtObediently nodding, Mia walked toward the old neighborhood with Connor.
However, she suddenly looked back toward the road outside, sensing a strange feeling she couldn’t
quite pinpoint.
Withdrawing her gaze, Mia walked back into the courtyard with Connor. Seeing Patricia safe and
sound, Mia
felt a wave of relief wash over her.
Once again, Mia faced a round of scolding from her older brothers.
With a hint of concern, Patricia inquired, “Despite Optima Construction’s bankruptcy, will the demolition
still
proceed?”
Dominic confidently replied, “Don’t worry, the redevelopment will proceed as planned.”
However, Mia wasn’t holding much hope. The demolition had always been a risky endeavor from the
start.
Shortly after, a group of people in uniforms entered, equipped with a megaphone.
They announced, “Greetings, everyone. We represent the acquiring company, Vista Properties. We
kindly
request that everyone line up to sign one by one. Let’s not prolong the relocation process for
everyone.”
Promptly, a queue began to form.
Mia voiced her surprise, stating, “Oh, so Vista Properties made the acquisition!”
In a solemn tone, Dominic remarked, “Ahem, Mia, you should find more reassurance now. A large
corporation offers strength and security.”

However, Mia wasn’t particularly happy.

After all, Vista Properties belonged to Maya’s eldest brother, forming part of his business empire. What
if this
was a trap set by that troublemaker, Maya?
Mia certainly couldn’t dismiss the possibility!
Connor chimed in, “Mia, don’t stress too much. Dominic works for that company, so he must have
confidence
in their capabilities.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMia, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation, pondered how to convey her connection to Timothy
and
Maya to Dominic.
Nonetheless, she resolved to take it one step at a time.
Attempting to pull the same trick again, Wilhelmina rushed to the front with Bob and Mary, announcing,
“They
are the owners of this property. Kindly allow them to proceed with the signing process.”
Bob and Mary promptly nodded in agreement, affirming, “Yes, that’s us.”
However, upon verifying the details, Randy, the person in charge, declared, “I regret to inform you that
you are not the legal owners, and therefore, you do not have the authorization to sign.”
Bob, visibly frustrated, retorted, “This property belongs to my brother–in–law. He’s currently in the
hospital in a vegetative state, and as his family, I have the rightful authority to sign on his behalf.”
“I’m afraid the property is registered under his spouse’s name. Only his wife’s signature holds the
requisite authority. Other family members do not possess the legal standing to sign.”
Bob and Mary were left in disbelief at this revelation.
Seated on the ground, Mary voiced her protest, exclaiming, “This is utterly unfair! She’s a widow on the
brink of remarrying. How can she be deemed eligible for the demolition compensation?”
Shortly after, Mia, accompanied by her six brothers, approached with a commanding presence,
creating a somewhat intimidating atmosphere.
