Chapter 199
Mia set the dining table before coaxing Patricia out of her room.
With teary eyes, Patricia admitted, “Look 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.”
Dominic felt a huge weight of guilt.
If the Lane family hadn’t lost Mia, she wouldn’t have needed to go through that.
After experiencing Mary and Bob’s antics first–hand, he couldn’t 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 couldn’t let the facade slip. They could settle it behind Mia’s 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 didn’t vomit, her sleeping hours were long.
Connor could tell that she was sleepy. “Dominic, Eva, it’s getting late. Let’s get some rest. It’s not urgent to settle the demolition anyways.”
The trio left without saying much.
Once they entered the elevator, Dominic spoke up, “I’ve asked someone to look into the demolition company. I will never let Mia’s adoptive parents take advantage of this. I won’t let Mia suffer from this.”
Eva gave it a thought before voicing out her opinion, “Mia’s house only comes with two rooms. It’s kinda small. Why don’t we take this chance to give her a new place?”
His eyes brightened. “Yes, why don’t we give her a villa? I had one in mind, and it’s near her college.”
Connor rubbed his chin. “Isn’t a villa kinda over the top? There are a lot of people involved in the demolition. If she’s the only one getting a huge house, they’ll suspect something.”
Dominic sighed, “Why can’t we just reveal our identities? I think Mia has accepted us.”
Numerous villas and seaside houses were under his name, and he yearned to give them all to Mia.
Connor thought about it. “Let’s straighten things out with Maya first. We’ll take action afterward.”

They couldn’t possibly welcome Mia back to the Lane family with Maya still in the picture.

Besides, Connor believed that someone as calculating as Maya wasn’t fit to stay in the family for long.
