Mia needed to keep a tight rein on her emotions, particrly since she intended to keep Timothy’s


    child a secret from him.


    If he were to uncover the truth, he might insist on her getting an abortion, as he had previously


    expressed his unwillingness to have children.


    Contemting this, Mia fully awakened. She gently ced her hand on her lower abdomen.


    Despite the circumstances, Mia remained steadfast in safeguarding her baby and ensuring a safe


    delivery.


    After freshening up and changing into a new set of clothes, Mia received a call from Connor. “Mia,


    it’s time for your prenatal check–up at the hospital. Make sure toe in when you can.”


    “Alright, I understand. I have sses today, but I’ll find time to drop byter.”


    Checking her schedule, Mia realized that her uing days were densely packed with sses.


    With textbooks in hand, she headed off to college. Although only a weekend had passed, it felt like


    an eternity.


    Fortunately, everything had settled down without major issues.


    Mia made her way to the lecture room for her ss. Soon after, Riley approached, announcing,”


    Students, there’s a mandatory event this afternoon.


    “Vista Properties is establishing a foundation to sponsor inspirational schrships at Halvard


    University.


    “In the future, students demonstrating academic excellence may qualify for schrships offered by


    Vista Properties. Let’s all put in the effort and strive for sess!”


    Vista Properties?


    Mia couldn’t help but reminisce about the redevelopment of her old neighborhood–a project intricately


    tied to Vista Properties. Why did it seem that this corporation kept showing up in her life?


    However, it was Maya’s brother who owned thepany.


    Thest time, Maya went to the extent of threatening Mia regarding the redevelopment of her old


    neighborhood.

    Nheless, Mia was not one to easily sumb to intimidation.


    Riley intercepted Mia’s thoughts, saying, “Mia, Vista Properties is assembling a project team, and given


    your exceptional abilities, our ss is considering rmending you to join the team alongside a


    member of the academic affairsmittee.


    “Students from various universities will also be part of the project. It’s an opportunity for Halvard


    University to shine..


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Additionally, you could leverage the position to encourage Vista Properties to increase investment in


    our college, providing more equipment and creating additional employment opportunities.”


    Mia hesitated before responding. “Ms. Matterson, can I take some time to think about it?”


    Though she might have entertained the idea of anotherpany, Mia felt a sense of unease when it


    involved Vista Properties.


    She preferred to steer clear of any association with Maya.


    Despite Vista Properties’s reputation for fairness, Mia couldn’t forget Maya’s behind–the–scenes


    maniption during thest Fleur International Design Competition in which she participated.


    Although the oue had been favorable, Mia didn’t want to invest her time in unnecessary


    “Mia, this is an exceptional opportunity.


    “Considering your previous sess as the first–ce winner in the Fleur International Design


    Competition, opting out of this project team might reflect poorly on Harvard University.


    “Could you please share any concerns or reservations you may have? If there are challenges, the


    college is prepared to assist in resolving them.”


    Mia grappled with a sense of exasperation, struggling to find the right words to articte her


    reasons.


    It wasn’t that she feared Maya. But rather, she found the situation simply bothersome.


    Taking a deep breath, Mia eventually conceded, “Alright, I agree to be a part of this project team.”


    She decided to confront the challenge head–on.


    After lunch, Gina, who had no afternoon sses, joined Mia in attending the ceremony for the


    establishment of the schrship foundation by Vista Properties.

    As Mia and Gina stepped into the venue, Mia immediately smelled a pungent fragrance. She didn’t


    need to guess to know its source.


    Aside from Shelly, no one else would embrace such a potent scent.


    She turned around, confirming her suspicion as she saw Shelly, apanied by Maya.


    Gina immediately frowned. “Mia, isn’t this the bothersome woman we ran into at the mallst


    time?”


    Mia nodded, realizing that fate had its own ns.
