Chapter 197
+15 BONOS
The moment Mia saw who was standing there, an instinct to shut the door overwhelmed her.
Assuming it was Connor who forgot his keys, she didn’t bother checking through the peephole, a choice she is
regretting now.
“Mia Bowen, how are you close the door?” Mary forcefully shoved her way in, shamelessly invading the
space. “We’ve been searching for you for ages. How can you live in such an upscale place when you’re broke?
Liar.”
Bob spoke sternly, “Let’s get one thing straight, Mia Bowen. Don’t even think about laying a finger on the
house earmarked for demolition and money. They’re for my son. He’s the sole heir of the family.”
Mia retorted icily, “That house belongs to Aunt Patricia. You don’t have the right to do anything with it.”
“She only has a daughter. What use does she have for the house and money? My eldest brother is still in the hospital. If you take the house and money and marry another man, what should we do? As his brother, I should
look after his assets. Otherwise, he’ll realize he has lost everything when he regains consciousness.”
“That sounds like a brilliant ‘plan.“” Mia wasn’t fooled by the couple’s scheme.
They had their eyes on the demolition payment and money.
At that moment, Dominic walked out of the toilet.
He glared at her adoptive parents. “Look who’s here. Are you not happy with the pain you suffered previously? Would you like a premium service that guarantees fractured bones?”
Bob’s expression shifted when he saw Dominic, hugging his fractured arm, which always stung during rainy
days.
Startled, Mary stepped back but didn’t leave.
Meanwhile, Patricia, in the kitchen, overheard the commotion. She wanted to check out the situation, but Eva stopped her. “Aunt Patricia, let the young ones handle it. Don’t show yourself. Just focus on making the food. We can start eating when Connor comes back.”
A cloud of worries hung over Patricia. “Is it really okay to do that?”
“There’s nothing wrong with it. Even if you show yourself, there’s nothing that can be solved. It’ll only cause them more trouble.” Eva was never worried about that issue because Dominic was there to solve it.
Plus, it was his chance to shine in front of his beloved sister.
Otherwise, he would continue grumbling about how to be a good brother so much that her ears would bleed.
Dominic looked down on Mia’s adoptive parents. “Leave! If you come again, I’ll break your legs for good.”
Mary glared at Mia and snorted, “Don’t think you can get away with this, Mia Bowen! I’m telling you, that house set for demolition is ours!”
Bob was going to threaten Mia, but Dominic’s grim expression deprived him of the courage to do so.
