Chapter 198
Regardless, Mary and Bob were Mia’s adoptive parents. Even though they treated Mia badly, Patricia, their
sister–in–law, later adopted Mia, providing a glimmer of hope.
No matter what, Dominic was grateful that the Bowens raised Mia.
However, Mary’s and Bob’s greed exceeded his expectations.
To think that they came to Mia’s doorstep to issue threats? Unforgivable.
Mia closed the door and returned to the couch. “I knew this day would come from the moment the demolition
was announced. They’d definitely come for that house.”
Even biological families would fight over such things when it came to money, let alone adoptive parents.
Dominic declared, “Don’t worry, Mia. Leave it to me.”
It took him just a lift of his finger to deal with such people.
Patricia walked out of the kitchen, concerned. “Mia, I’m sure they won’t stop here. They’ll keep coming. Just
how did they find this place? I swear I didn’t tell anyone about it.”
“I have a vague idea of what’s going on. It’s fine if they’ve found us here. Just don’t give in no matter what.”
Mia was certain that Mary and Bob found out the address through Shelly.
Shelly was also the reason why that couple found their way to the studio.
Dominic reassured the anxious Patricia, “Don’t worry, Aunt Patricia. Leave it to me.”
“You don’t know how shameless her adoptive parents are, Dominic. I’m fine, but I don’t want Mia to get hurt. She’s still young. There’s a long way ahead of her.” Tears streamed down Patricia’s cheeks.
Always demure, Patricia turned to crying in times of desperation.
Eva walked Patricia to the bedroom to comfort her. Eva also shot Dominic a look.
He knew what needed to be done to deal with this issue. He took out his phone to send a message to his
assistant. ‘Look into the demolition case.‘
