Chapter 223
Mia glared at Mary and asserted coldly, “Because the house is registered under Aunt Patricia’s name.”
Momentarily at a loss for words, Mary instinctively turned to Wilhelmina for help, stating, “Ms. Jones,
you
mentioned last time that when it comes to dividing the inheritance, we also have a share, right?
“You’re an educated person. So please explain.”
Standing on the side, Wilhelmina nervously cowered, somewhat intimidated by the bodyguards
accompanying
Mia.
Despite Optima Construction’s recent bankruptcy, Mia’s demolition project remained on course, having
been acquired by Vista Properties.
Consumed by jealousy, Wilhelmina asserted. “That’s correct. Mr. and Mrs. Bowen have the right to
inherit this
property.”
Regardless of the circumstances, Wilhelmina was determined not to let Mia secure the new house and
compensation. Why should Mia have it all while she ended up with nothing?
Glancing over, Mia explained, “But my Uncle James is still alive. Aunt Patricia has been covering his
medical expenses during these years while he’s been lying in the hospital.
“She also consistently visits to take care of him. The compensation from the demolition of this house
will be used for Uncle James’s treatment.”
The neighbors around nodded in agreement. “This house originally belonged to James. Bob shouldn’t
be contesting it.”
“Over the years, the Bowens have consistently displayed this behavior. Initially, their focus was not on
the house. Rather, they were more inclined toward monetary gain.
“Yet, James ended up taking the house without seeking any financial compensation.
“Now, with news of the old house being demolished, they suddenly appear, demanding a share of the
compensation. What kind of logic is that?”
The neighbors began chiming in, revealing the details of the past events.
Bob and Mary exchanged guilty glances. Seeing the demolition compensation slip through their fingers,
they couldn’t bear to give up even a small share.
In despair, Mary cried out, “Do you realize that when James was undergoing medical treatment, he
borrowed a significant amount of money from us, and he hasn’t repaid It?
“The compensation for this house rightfully belongs to us.”
Bob scowled and declared, “If anyone dares to hinder us from getting the money, I’ll confront them
today!
“I’m ready to fight tooth and nail, and I won’t back down until my last breath, ensuring no one gets a
penny.”
Bob and Mary escalated the situation, causing a scene and throwing a tantrum.

Wilhelmina, standing on the sidelines, continued to fan the flames, determined to obstruct the
demolition from
happening today.
Dominic exchanged a glance with Randy, who immediately grasped the unspoken signal.
With a firm tone, Randy announced, “If you have concerns about the demolition, kindly proceed to the
nearby office for a detailed discussion.
“Let’s not disrupt those who are in the process of signing for the redevelopment.”
Joining in, other neighbors added, “Exactly, please don’t block our way.”
A group of young men in business attire approached from the vicinity and swiftly guided Bob and Mary
away. Wilhelmina, too, found herself escorted along with them.
Randy quickly relayed through the megaphone, “Alright, everyone, keep lining up to sign. The
compensation
terms and amounts are even more favorable now.
“If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask here.”
For a moment, hesitation hung in the air as no one dared to be the first in line, fearing the possibility of
a disadvantageous deal.
However, Patricia boldly took the initiative, declaring, “I’ll sign and leave my bank card.”
She was determined to secure the money, regardless of the potential drawbacks. This way, she couldnovelbin
preempt
any trouble caused by Bob and Mary, ensuring they wouldn’t obstruct her signing later on.
Mia didn’t intervene. Instead, she stood by, assisting Patricia in making sure the bank card details were
correct.
рис
Once she completed the signing, Patricia held Mia’s hand and inquired, “Mia, is this sufficient? Bob and
Mary
won’t have the chance to alter, will they?”
“No, they won’t be able to make changes. Vista Properties is a sizable company with strict rules and
regulations.“”
“That’s good.”
Mia turned around and glanced at her six brothers, stating, “Let’s go. It’s time to head back.”
