Mia shared the link with Felix, saying, “Felix, take a look at this.”
Meanwhile, Fiona turned toward Mia, pleading. “Ms. Bowen, please forgive me. I admit it was my mistake.
“I shouldn’t have confronted you without conducting a thorough investigation first. It’s entirely my fault.”
Mia’s expression held a blend of emotions. She remained unconvinced that Fiona would offer an apology solely because her family’s company had been acquired.

A possibility flashed through Mia’s mind, though it seemed highly unlikely.
After conducting a brief search, she discovered that the acquiring entity was none other than Vista Properties.
