Upon seeing Bob and Mary, Mia realized she wouldn’t be able to leave immediately.
However, she wasn’t overly concerned, knowing that Vista Properties had Patricia’s bank card
information. Regardless of how much of a scene Bob and Mary caused, it wouldn’t alter the
situation.
Mia swiftly sent a WhatsApp message to Felix: “Felix, I just ran into my adoptive parents. I’ll be a
bit late.”
Upon reading the message at the engagement venue, Felix furrowed his brows.
He always sensed that Mia’s family situation was somewhat complicated, especially with the
troublesome nature of Bob and Mary.
If Mia were to be a part of Felix’s future, he’d make sure she establishes clear boundaries with Bob,
Mary, and even Patricia, focusing solely on maintaining a positive relationship with her
brothers.
Felix certainly had no desire to get entangled with Bob and Mary.
Expressing his understanding, Felix replied, “Okay, handle it quickly and come over as soon as
you can. We’re all waiting for you.”
Maya had explicitly expressed her desire to see the designer at the engagement venue, and Felix had
alread
made a promise to Maya. If Mia failed to show up, it could potentially damage Felix’s
reputation.
Felix quickly revisited the details of the engagement venue, aiming to leave a lasting impression on
Maya this time. The risk of losing future business opportunities was something he couldn’t
afford.
After all, this engagement ceremony marked the union between the heiress of the Lane family and the
heir of the Barrett family.
Shortly afterward, Maya arrived at the engagement venue. She glanced at the romantic and beautiful
decorations, exactly as she had envisioned for her engagement ceremony.
Despite Mia being somewhat bothersome, Maya couldn’t help but acknowledge the undeniable appeal
of Mia’s designs.
With a smirk, Maya inquired, “Where’s the designer?”

She purposefully arranged for Mia to witness her engagement to Timothy, intending to show Mia what a
compatible and fitting match entailed.
As the heiress of the Lane family. Maya believed Mia, being an orphan, had little to measure up to
in comparison.
Adopting a tone of appeasement, Felix replied, “Ms. Lane, Mia has some urgent matters and will
arrive a bit later.”
Maya immediately frowned, expressing her dissatisfaction. “Is this the work attitude of your
studio employees? As the designer for this wedding, how could she be late?
“She left early yesterday, and I didn’t make a big issue out of it. How dare she be late today!”
Was it possible that Mia intentionally found an excuse not to come?
“Ms. Lane, please don’t be upset. Here’s the situation, Mia is an orphan, and her adoptive parents
are causing some trouble.
“I’ve heard that her family received a sum of money from the relocation, and now her adoptive parents
are seeking a share of it,” Felix explained.
Maya’s eyebrows subtly furrowed. “They received money from the demolition?”
Wasn’t Shelly supposed to coordinate Optima Construction to manipulate the funds and channel
the money to Bob and Mary?
However, according to Felix, it seemed Mia still managed to get her hands on the compensation.
“Yes, there were some initial complications. Optima Construction underwent an acquisition by a major
conglomerate. Interestingly, it happened to be Dominic’s company–Vista Properties.
“Following the acquisition, Mia was able to receive the demolition compensation.” Felix clarified.
“So, you’re saying Dominic’s conglomerate acquired the original real estate company?”
“Yes, it’s a fairly common occurrence for large conglomerates to absorb smaller companies,”
Felix explained.
Maya couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.
Regardless of the magnitude of Dominic’s company, it seemed improbable for him to casually acquire a
small real estate company in Bern City.
Furthermore, in the preceding rumor incident involving Mia, it was revealed that the conglomerate
implicated in the malicious takeover and bankruptcy of Keegan’s company was none other thannovelbin

While a single occurrence might be dismissed as a coincidence, the repetition of such events certainly
raised questions.
Maya pressed her lips together and remarked, “Regardless, ensure that Mia reaches the wedding
venue punctually. Otherwise, it would reflect poorly on the professionalism of your studio.
“Furthermore, I believe there’s no necessity to use my engagement as a means of promotion
afterward.”
Felix’s expression stiffened. “Ms. Lane, rest assured, I will ensure Mia arrives on time.”
