Filed to story: Mia Bowen and Timothy Barrett Novel
Dominic wasn’t aware of Mia’s pregnancy the whole time. It wouldn’t hurt to wait for a few more months.
The same outcome would happen even if Dominic found out about it now.
Connor could already envision his future, where he was willing to get beaten up by Dominic for
Mia.
At that moment, a woman rushed over to snatch the report from Mia. “I knew it! You’re pregnant,
Mia Bowen! You’re dead meat this time!”
Mia watched the mad woman in a mask. She couldn’t place her finger on who the unbidden guest was. “Wilhelmina?” Mia guessed.
“That’s right. It’s me.” The woman removed her mask.
It was Wilhelmina indeed!
This was the first time Mia met Wilhelmina after the demolition.
“Why should I? Mia Bowen, you’re bearing another man’s child, aren’t you? Is it this guy? I’ve got you this time!”
Wilhelmina’s words struck Mia as absurd. “What does my pregnancy have to do with you? What are you going to do with my stuff?”
“It’s useless to me, but someone else might need it. Shelly is very interested in this. Say, how much will she pay me if I give it to her?”
Mia’s vi visage shifted slightly. “This is not Shelly’s baby. It’s useless if you give it to her. Is getting pregnant against the law? So what if you disclose this information to the public?”
Wilhelmina paused because Mia’s words made sense.
Wilhelmina stole a glance at the ultrasound report.
In retrospect, Shelly showed telltale interest the moment Wilhelmina claimed that there was a possibility Mia was pregnant.
It was as if this was a huge catch!
While Wilhelmina stayed silent, Connor went up to take the report back from her. “Hey, if you have a death wish, I won’t hold myself back. Is staying behind bars for 15 days too short for you?”
When the old neighborhood was demolished, they figured something out to send Wilhelmina to the police station for fifteen days.
It should’ve been a lesson learned, but she had the nerve to be at it again!
Her face fell at that and she swiftly disappeared from view.
Connor was ready for a chase, but she vanished from their sight immediately. He couldn’t catch up with her.
Mia walked up to the door. “Forget it.”
“What if Wilhelmina tells the Barretts that you’re pregnant?”
She took a deep breath. “No one will buy it. Plus, I know a way to take care of this. Don’t worry.”
“Don’t worry about the records in the hospital. I’ll change the name on your records. If the Barrett family comes over for an investigation, there’s nothing they can find.”
“Sounds like a plan.” She kept the ultrasound report safely.
She would protect the babies no matter what happened. There was a checkup she had to undergo right now too.
Connor couldn’t shake off his unease.
While waiting for Mia, who was undergoing a checkup, he contacted someone. “Look for Wilhelmina Jones. Find a way to shut her up.”
Until Mia returns will existence.
her brothers to Nord City, Timothy must remain unaware of the babies¡®
Although Timothy didn’t fear Connor, things would get out of hand if Timothy requested for child custody.
After all, the Barrett family was a powerful family.
Most importantly, Connor hoped that Mia could cut ties with Timothy and it had to be now before any other possibilities stand.
Running like a mad woman, Wilhelmina was afraid Connor would catch her.
Then, she pulled her phone out to call Shelly but it was in vain.
Anxiety was driving Wilhelmina to the edge.
Why was Shelly not picking up her phone?
Left with no other choice, Wilhelmina sent a message. ¡®I have Mia’s ultrasound report.¡®
The message was sent and a smirk appeared on her face.
She didn’t know what Shelly would do with the news, but that didn’t matter as long as Shelly believed it.
Wilhelmina was in dire need of money.
Soon, Shelly hit Wilhelmina up. Wilhelmina’s eyes lit up.
As she reached over to pick up the phone, someone covered her mouth and everything went black before her eyes.
The call was left ringing, unanswered.
On the other hand, Shelly scolded, “What’s with this Wilhelmina? She texted me, yet she’s not picking up the call. Is she trying to trick me?”
She stopped calling Wilhelmina.
Wilhelmina would call back after noticing the missed calls anyway.
A dubious Maya spoke up, “Was Wilhelmina telling the truth? Is Mia really pregnant?”
The duo were at the beauty salon, so Shelly couldn’t pick up the call.
Now, it was Wilhelmina’s turn not answering the call.
Shelly gave it a thought for a moment. “Not sure. Wilhelmina¨Cthat fool¨Clost her reputation and job. Who knows if she’s lying for money? Getting money is her top priority now.”
Maya nodded. “That is another possibility. But she wouldn’t have said it without a reason, would she?”
“If Mia’s pregnant, could it be Timothy’s child? Won’t this put you at a disadvantage?” Shelly suggested.
Maya’s brows furrowed as she didn’t share the same notion.
After all, Mia had been close with Connor these days, making the possibility of him being the baby’s father stand.
The guess alone cast a pall of foreboding over Maya. Mia must never get acquainted with the Lane brothers!
Something felt off no matter how Maya thought about it. She called her assistant. “Look into Mia’s records in the hospital. Check if she’s pregnant.”
If Mia was really pregnant, no matter who the father was, Maya couldn’t let Mia give birth to that baby.
Shelly spoke, “Ms. Lane, how are things going with the demolition? I can’t wait to see Mia suffer.”
“I’ve got everything covered. Don’t worry. She won’t be able to receive the money.”
A cold glint flickered in Maya’s eyes. Being able to do such trivial things was still within her power.
If someone was to be blamed, Mia was it. After all, she had the audacity to trick and force Mayal into apologizing to her!
Now, it was time for Mia to get into trouble.
Mia returned home after the checkup and there was a restless Patricia on the couch.
Patricia’s eyes couldn’t leave the phone.
Mia asked, “What’s wrong, Aunt Patricia?”
“Mia, I heard that the compensation for the demolition was transferred yesterday, but we haven’t received anything until today. I asked around and other people have received the money. We’re the only ones who have yet to receive it. Do you think something went wrong?”
That was weird. “This shouldn’t be happening. Did you give them the card I told you to give them?
“Mia inquired.
“I did. I even took a picture just in case. I’ve checked the account number. It’s the right one.”
*Calm down, Aunt Patricia. I’ll go to Vista Properties tomorrow. It is a huge company. There shouldn’t be any issue.” Mia comforted Patricia.
Considering how Maya threatened her with this matter, she suspected it had something to do with
Maya.
Regardless, she had to visit Vista Properties to get to the bottom of it.
It was ridiculous that Mia’s family was the only one who didn’t receive the compensation.
