Chapter 176
After finishing his work, Dominic turned to Eva and suggested. “Babe, what do you think about bringing Mia back to Nord City to
live with us? That way, no one would dare to mistreat her.”
Eva couldn’t help but sigh. “But Mia has always been living in Bern City. If we bring her here, we’ll need to have an honest
conversation with her. Are you certain that Mia has fully accepted us?”
“Regardless, Maya has already chosen to marry Timothy and will be living in Bern City. Bringing Mia back to Nord City wouldn’t
have any significant impact, considering the substantial distance between them.
*Besides, Maya is marrying into the prestigious Barrett family, so it’s not as though we’re treating her unfairly.
right?”
With unwavering resolve, Dominic continued, “During our upcoming trip to Bern City for Maya’s engagement. we should discuss
with Maya the possibility of ending her adoption.
“We certainly can’t allow Mia to return to the Lane family only to find another girl there, replacing her. It simply
wouldn’t be fair to her.”
Raising an eyebrow, Eva questioned, “Terminate Maya’s adoption? Do you think she would agree to that?”
Mia’s extraordinary journey from an orphanage to her current standing was an accomplishment most people couldn’t fathom.
Besides, Eva has never been particularly fond of Maya.
Maintaining a serious expression, Dominic asserted, “I can’t let Mia endure any more injustice. When the time comes, I plan to
provide Maya with some assets as a fair settlement.
“Her departure will be amicable, and I assure you there will be no mistreatment. After all, I haven’t breached
our initial agreement.”
The following day, Mia resumed her routine and headed to the studio for work.
Shortly after, two female colleagues approached her, each holding a box of freshly baked cookies. “Mia, we owe you an apology.
We were misled by Wilhelmina,” one of them expressed.
“Mia, please accept these as a token of our goodwill,” the other added.
Recognizing the influence Wilhelmina had on her colleagues, Mia graciously accepted the gifts, deciding not to dwell on the past.
After all, she knew she had to uphold a professional relationship with them.
At that moment, Tammy nervously entered, announcing. “Mia, someone is here to see you. It’s the woman who confronted
Wilhelmina last time.”
As her words lingered in the air, an uneasy atmosphere settled in the studio once again.
Mia hadn’t anticipated Fiona coming to find her. Could it be that Wilhelmina had spread more rumors about her?
As Mia rose to confront Fiona, she noticed her approaching. However, this time, Fiona seemed less arrogant. wearing a
somewhat worn expression.

Maintaining a composed demeanor, Mia calmly inquired, “What brings you here?”
Suddenly, Fiona dropped to her knees with a thud, speaking earnestly, “Ms. Mia, I must confess that I fell victim to Wilhelmina’s
schemes.
“Regrettably, I mistakenly believed the issue was connected to you, and I realize my words may have offended you. I sincerely
apologize. Please forgive me!”
Mia was taken aback by this sudden display of humility.
In shock, she took a step back and asked, “What are you doing?”
The expressions of everyone in the room mirrored Mia’s surprise. Fiona, the heiress of a wealthy family. kneeling and sincerely
apologizing to Mia–a truly unprecedented scene.

Responding to the commotion, Felix quickly emerged from his office, standing by Mia’s side. “What’s going on? *he inquired.
“I honestly have no idea,” Mia replied.
She was just as bewildered as everyone else. Fiona’s unexpected apology had to be connected to something she wasn’t aware
of.
At that moment, Mia’s phone chimed, and she received a link from Gina: “With the successful acquisition of Keystone
Construction, the family of that despicable old man is now facing bankruptcy.
“It appears that he is finally reaping the consequences he deserves.”
Mia was surprised to learn that Keegan’s company had been acquired.
But what did that have to do with Fiona’s sudden apology?
