Chapter 199
Meet My Brothers
Mia set the dining table before coaxing Patricia out of her room.
With teary eyes, Patricia admitted, âLook 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.â
Dominic felt a huge weight of guilt.
If the Lane family hadnât lost Mia, she wouldnât have needed to go through that.
After experiencing Mary and Bobâs antics firstâhand, he couldnât 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.
They couldnât let the facade slip. They could settle it behind Miaâs back, but putting up a show in front of
her was still needed.
Fatigue struck Mia as she yawned.
Sleepiness frequently found its way to her all the time. Although she didnât vomit, her sleeping hours
were long.
Connor could tell that she was sleepy. âDominic, Eva, itâs getting late. Letâs get some rest. Itâs not
urgent to settle the demolition anyways.â
The trio left without saying much.
Once they entered the elevator, Dominic spoke up, âIâve asked someone to look into the demolition
company. I will never let Miaâs adoptive parents take advantage of this. I wonât let Mia suffer from this.â
Eva gave it a thought before voicing out her opinion, âMiaâs house only comes with two rooms. Itâs
kinda small. Why donât we take this chance to give her a new place?â
His eyes brightened. âYes, why donât we give her a villa? I had one in mind, and itâs near her college.â
Connor rubbed his chin. âIsnât a villa kinda over the top? There are a lot of people involved in the
demolition. If sheâs the only one getting a huge house, theyâll suspect something.â
Dominic sighed, âWhy canât we just reveal our identities? I think Mia has accepted us.â
Numerous villas and seaside houses were under his name, and he yearned to give them all to Mia.
Connor thought about it. âLetâs straighten things out with Maya first. Weâll take action afterward.â

They couldnât possibly welcome Mia back to the Lane family with Maya still in the picture.
+15 BONOS
Besides, Connor believed that someone as calculating as Maya wasnât fit to stay in the family for long.
Meanwhile, Mia skipped work, opting for lectures or secluding herself in the study hall to avoid her
adoptive
parents.
With Dominic by her side, Bob and Mary might think twice before coming up to the doorstep.
All Mia had to do was endure until Patricia signed the demolition contract. Once that happened, her
adoptive parents would be powerless.
Felix reached out to her. âMia, the coast is clear these days. You can return to work.â
âBut I want to wait until the demolition is over.â
âMia, donât tell me that youâre planning to quit after the demolition. Youâll be rich when that happens,â
Felix
teased.
Mia chuckled. âIâm drowning in debt. How could I be rich?â
