Chapter 272
Mia needed to keep a tight rein on her emotions, particularly since she intended to keep Timothy’s
child a secret from him.
If he were to uncover the truth, he might insist on her getting an abortion, as he had previously
expressed his unwillingness to have children.
Contemplating this, Mia fully awakened. She gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen.
Despite the circumstances, Mia remained steadfast in safeguarding her baby and ensuring a safe
delivery.
After freshening up and changing into a new set of clothes, Mia received a call from Connor. “Mia,
it’s time for your prenatal check–up at the hospital. Make sure to come in when you can.”
“Alright, I understand. I have classes today, but I’ll find time to drop by later.”
Checking her schedule, Mia realized that her upcoming days were densely packed with classes.
With textbooks in hand, she headed off to college. Although only a weekend had passed, it felt like
an eternity.
Fortunately, everything had settled down without major issues.
Mia made her way to the lecture room for her class. Soon after, Riley approached, announcing,”
Students, there’s a mandatory event this afternoon.
“Vista Properties is establishing a foundation to sponsor inspirational scholarships at Halvard
University.
“In the future, students demonstrating academic excellence may qualify for scholarships offered by
Vista Properties. Let’s all put in the effort and strive for success!”
Vista Properties?
Mia couldn’t help but reminisce about the redevelopment of her old neighborhood–a project intricately
tied to Vista Properties. Why did it seem that this corporation kept showing up in her life?
However, it was Maya’s brother who owned the company.
The last time, Maya went to the extent of threatening Mia regarding the redevelopment of her old
neighborhood.

Nonetheless, Mia was not one to easily succumb to intimidation.
Riley intercepted Mia’s thoughts, saying, “Mia, Vista Properties is assembling a project team, and given
your exceptional abilities, our class is considering recommending you to join the team alongside a
member of the academic affairs committee.
“Students from various universities will also be part of the project. It’s an opportunity for Halvard
University to shine..
“Additionally, you could leverage the position to encourage Vista Properties to increase investment in
our college, providing more equipment and creating additional employment opportunities.”
Mia hesitated before responding. “Ms. Matterson, can I take some time to think about it?”
Though she might have entertained the idea of another company, Mia felt a sense of unease when it
involved Vista Properties.
She preferred to steer clear of any association with Maya.
Despite Vista Properties’s reputation for fairness, Mia couldn’t forget Maya’s behind–the–scenes
manipulation during the last Fleur International Design Competition in which she participated.
Although the outcome had been favorable, Mia didn’t want to invest her time in unnecessary
complications.
“Mia, this is an exceptional opportunity.
“Considering your previous success as the first–place winner in the Fleur International Design
Competition, opting out of this project team might reflect poorly on Harvard University.
“Could you please share any concerns or reservations you may have? If there are challenges, the
college is prepared to assist in resolving them.”
Mia grappled with a sense of exasperation, struggling to find the right words to articulate her
reasons.
It wasn’t that she feared Maya. But rather, she found the situation simply bothersome.
Taking a deep breath, Mia eventually conceded, “Alright, I agree to be a part of this project team.”
She decided to confront the challenge head–on.
After lunch, Gina, who had no afternoon classes, joined Mia in attending the ceremony for the
establishment of the scholarship foundation by Vista Properties.

As Mia and Gina stepped into the venue, Mia immediately smelled a pungent fragrance. She didn’t
need to guess to know its source.
Aside from Shelly, no one else would embrace such a potent scent.
She turned around, confirming her suspicion as she saw Shelly, accompanied by Maya.
Gina immediately frowned. “Mia, isn’t this the bothersome woman we ran into at the mall lastnovelbin
time?”
Mia nodded, realizing that fate had its own plans.
