Chapter 217
Mia was slightly stunned. She glanced down at her phone. It was Timothy.
Her head shot back up as she replied gracefully, “Oh, don’t bother. It’s a scam call.”
Dominic frowned as he asked, “Who’s harassing you?”
Could it be Timothy, that old and divorced prick?
Mia pursed her lips before coming up with something plausible, “Um, I have been receiving calls about whether I’d fancy a renovation, since I just bought my house not long ago.”
Dominic nodded. So, this was the truth.
As he stared at Mia, he said, “Mia, you must let me know if anyone’s bullying you.”
“I know.”
Mia muted her phone and made her way to the kitchen. She didn’t pay any attention to her phone at all.
Meanwhile, Timothy’s gaze was fixated on the phone. How dare Mia not pick up his calls?
Didn’t she sound so confident when she texted him earlier?
He massaged his temples as he read her message again. He gave Shelly a call.
She answered the call after a while.
In a cautious manner, Shelly asked, “Timothy? What’s the matter?”
Timothy snapped, “Shelly, is terminating your credit card far from enough? If it weren’t for your mom who came crying at my knees, you would’ve already been brought away by the cops for investigation.”
Shelly stuttered, “Timothy, I’ve been behaving lately. I didn’t do anything.”
“Do you think I wasn’t well–informed, Shelly?”
Her whole body was quivering on the other end of the phone.
“Timothy, she’s just lucky to have her house demolished. But that house doesn’t even belong to her! It’s her adoptive parents‘. I have nothing to do with them taking back the house,” Shelly was quick to defend herself,
although her voice was tinged with fear.
Shelly felt totally justified. Moreover, Wilhelmina, Bob and Mary would be held responsible for what they had
done. She didn’t have anything to do with them.
Timothy’s expression darkened as he ordered, “Apologize to Mia now until she forgives you.”
“I don’t want that! Why should I apologize when I’ve done nothing wrong? Timothy, you’re still so biased even
though you’re going to divorce Mia soon. Or did you actually fall in love with her?”
In a cold tone, he replied, “Be prepared to bear your consequences if you don’t apologize.”

“I’m not going to! You’ll have to kill me for that!” Shelly snapped.
Timothy’s expression was stoic as he hung up.
He glanced over at Walter as he instructed, “Investigate the demolition issue on the previous residential area
Mia resided in. Make an appointment with George. I need to talk to him.”
Walter nodded. After he left, Timothy took his phone out. It suddenly dawned on him that Mia had blocked him
last time.
