Mia couldn’t help but marvel at Wilhelmina’s audacity. Following Wilhelmina’s words, Mia observed that


    Wilhelmina seemed genuinely oblivious to the situation.


    Through gritted teeth, Wilhelmina retorted, “It’s all because of you that I’ve ended up like this.”


    Wilhelmina had depleted her funds long ago, found herself embroiled in legal troubles, and was on the


    brink of being cklisted.


    This morning, her phone had been disconnected due to unpaid bills, leaving her unable to make a call


    or ess the inte.


    All of this, of course, was courtesy of Mia!


    Wilhelmina sneered, “Mia, I came here today specifically to witness your downfall.”


    Upon hearing this, Dominic scowled. “Where did this unpleasant womane from, carrying such a


    foul mouth?”


    Nathan chimed in. “This is the woman who spread false rumors about Miast time.”


    Dominic’s expression darkened as he shot a nce at Nathan, asking. “Hasn’t this been taken care of


    yet?”


    Wasn’t the n to ensure Wilhelmina could never recover? How was she still able to show up here?


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Jason cleared his throat and stated, “This falls under my responsibility. I’ll investigate itter.”


    Mia turned to her brothers and calmly stated, “It’s okay, let’s focus on dealing with the matter at hand


    now.”


    She knew why Wilhelmina was still standing loud and proud here–it was because Shelly was secretly


    supporting her.


    However, from today onward, Shelly would no longer have any influence.


    Wilhelmina, this aplice, was simply making empty threats.


    With an arrogantugh, Wilhelmina retorted, “Mia, even with so many men by your side, you won’t be


    able to handle this matter. After all, you can’t match the influence of the people backing me.


    “Soon, they’ll transfer the money directly into your adoptive parents‘ bank ount, and unfortunately,


    you won’t receive a single penny.”


    Dominic cautioned her, “Don’t be too confident.”


    Overnight, he had orchestrated the acquisition of Optima Construction, and the new owner behind the


    scenes would assume control this morning.


    Just then, representatives from Optima Construction emerged.


    Wilhelmina promptly approached them, stating, “Mr. Parkson, do you recall our agreement? Later,


    make sure to adhere to what I instructed you.”


    +15 BONOS Certainly, Mia wouldn’tprehend the full extent until she faced the repercussions. Now,


    Wilhelmina was determined to unveil to Mia the true meaning of despair!


    However, Lucas forcefully pushed Wilhelmina aside, eximing, “Leave me alone, stop bothering me.


    “I just found outst night that Optima Construction has gone bankrupt, and our sries haven’t been


    paid. Let’s quickly return to demand what’s owed to us.”


    Upon learning this startling news, all the employees of Optima Construction dispersed.


    Realizing the situation was taking an unfavorable turn, Bob and Mary hurriedly approached. “Why is


    everyone leaving? We haven’t received our money yet.”


    Wilhelmina, equally baffled, questioned, “How could it go bankrupt!”


    Upon hearing about Optima Construction’s bankruptcy and the cancetion of the demolition, everyone


    hurried outside, eager to findpany representatives for rification.


    However, it appeared that thepany officials had scattered, leaving the fate of the redevelopment


    uncertain.


    Mia noticed Patricia heading outside and hurriedly caught up, but the crowd quickly separated them.


    At that moment, a ck luxury car was parked outside.


    Observing the abruptmotion in the old neighborhood, Timothy frowned and asked, “What’s going


    on?”


    Just then, Heath received a call and turned to answer.


    “Optima Construction has just been acquired. It seems the redevelopment project has failed, and these


    people havee out seeking an exnation.”


    “Acquired overnight? By whichpany?”


    “Vista Properties.”


    Upon hearing this, Timothy couldn’t help but furrow his brows. Wasn’t Vista Properties Dominic’s


    company? Something felt off.


    Could they be nning to retaliate against Mia?


    Timothy instructed coldly, “Look into it.”


    After saying that, he looked up and spotted Mia in the crowd, pushed to the side and seemingly in a


    precarious situation.


    His gaze sharpened as he prepared to step out of the car. Just then, he observed Mia being embraced


    by a man, their interaction appearing quite intimate.
