Chapter 216

Dominic let his imagination get the better of him in those few seconds. By the time he was done, he

was so infuriated to the point he could commit murder right away.

“We’re not sure what the cause was, but it was indeed the Barrett family who told George to target Ms.

Mia. After all, the Barretts are the local powerhouse in Bern City. Optima Construction wouldn’t dare to

go against

them.”

“Timothy really has some guts to do that, huh? How dare he?” Dominic huffed.

His blood was boiling with rage.

Timothy was even thinking of marrying Maya despite his doings. Moreover, he was still relying on

Connor to operate on Laura. How dare he target Mia?

After Dominic hung up, he called Connor right away. He had to discuss something this important with

him. If Timothy was really framing Mia, especially in such a lowly manner, he would have to reconsider

their connection with the Barrett family.

He would be more than glad to call off Maya’s engagement to Timothy.

Mia was still waiting for Dominic in the living room after he ended his call. Just then, her phone rang. It

was

an unknown number.

She picked it up and asked, “Hello? Who’s on the line?”

“It’s me, idiot! You got me into so much trouble. How are you feeling now though, Mia? Aren’t you so

disappointed now? You’ve been looking forward to the demolition payment for so long. You thought you

could’ve changed your fate, but you failed! Hahaha!” The person on the other end of the phone

cackled.

Mia’s expression turned grim as she hissed, “Was this your doing, Wilhelmina? No, I don’t think you’re

capable of that. Shelly’s probably responsible for this.”

Though Shelly wasn’t exactly that bright, it was easy for her to have her way as a Barrett.

Wilhelmina snickered, “That dumbass is completely clueless! She’s merely a rich kid showing off her

status. I was the one who did all these! I purposely let Bob and Mary sign it instead after they left their

bank account details with me. There’s no way you’d get the money no matter how outraged you are!”

“Wilhelmina, you’re not any better. You’re nothing but Shelly’s lapdog. If it weren’t for her, do you think

George would even pay you any attention? Oh right, wait. You could help him warm his bed though,

since I guess that’s what you’re best at, right? I know you slept with old men more often than enough,

so it should be easy for you.”

Wilhelmina shrieked on the other end of the phone when she heard her.

“Mia, you’ll be sorry for this! I swear!”

Mia hung up right away. So it did have something to do with Shelly, although it is the last thing Mia had

expected. Why did she always have to get involved with the Barretts?

+15 BONOS

Back then, she fell victim to Shelly’s bullying. Now, it was becoming worse as she grew older, Patricia

hadn’t been well lately, and she’d worry herself to death if they failed to receive the demolition payment.

By then,

she’d be drowned in guilt.

Mia took out her phone as she planned to text Timothy. She urged him to keep an eye on Shelly. To her

surprise, she realized that she had already blocked him.

She decided to call him. However, no one answered her call.

As a result, she resorted to texting him furiously, “If you don’t keep an eye on that crazy bitch, Shelly,

don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Mia had leverage on Shelly. Right after she sent the message, Timothy called.

Just then, Dominic had ended his phone call as he exited the veranda, moving toward the living room.

With a slightly awkward expression, she hung up on Timothy instantly.

“Dominic, how was it?”

*Ahem. I asked them, and it seems like Bob and Mary managed to snake their way in through certain

means.”

Mia heaved a small sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn’t realize that this had something to do with the

Barretts. Otherwise, she was certain that she couldn’t hold him back, given his hot temper.

Nonetheless, she couldn’t comprehend why she was targeted.

Her phone was buzzing, and Dominic glanced over at it.

‘Aren’t you going to answer your call?”
