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 thedemolition

was announced. They’d definitely come for that house.”

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

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 replace 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’ve found us here. Just don’t give in no matterwhat.”

Mia was certain that Mary and Bob found out the address through Shelly.

Shelly was also the reason why that couple found their way to the studio.

Dominic reassured the anxious Patricia, “Don’t worry, Aunt Patricia. Leave it to me.”

“You don’t know how shameless her adoptive parents are, Dominic. I’m fine, but I don’t want Mia to gethurt. She’s still young. There’s a long way ahead of her.” Tears streamed down Patricia’s cheeks.

Always demure, Patricia turned to crying in times of desperation.

Eva walked Patricia to the bedroom to comfort her. Eva also shot Dominic a look.

He knew what needed to be done to deal with this issue. He took out his phone to send a message tohis

assistant. ‘Look into the demolition case.‘

Finding out which company was in charge of the demolition was the first step. Dominic had a plan afterthat.

The old Dominic might have resorted to drastic measures such as kidnapping Mia’s adoptive parentsand feeding them to sharks. However, now that he had turned a new leaf, he had to teach them alesson in the

right way.

He raised his head, reassuring Mia. “Don’t worry. We’ll be your backer until the demolition is over.”

“But it’ll take up too much time.”

“We can take turns to keep you company.” At that moment, Connor entered the house.

Eva had updated everyone in the group chat about Mary and Bob coming over and demanding for thehouse.
