Mia shared the link with Felix, saying, “Felix, take a look at this.”
Meanwhile, Fiona turned toward Mia, pleading. “Ms. Bowen, please forgive me. I admit it was my mistake.
“I shouldn’t have confronted you without conducting a thorough investigation first. It’s entirely my fault.”
Mia’s expression held a blend of emotions. She remained unconvinced that Fiona would offer an apology solely because her
family’s company had been acquired.
After a moment of hesitation, Mia inquired, “Why did you come to see me?”
Fiona, too, seemed taken aback, but calmly clarified. “Ms. Bowen, I truly recognize my mistake. Please forgive me this time.”
“You should get up first,” Mia urged.
Determined, Fiona retorted, “Unless you forgive me, Ms. Bowen, I won’t get up.”
She remained on her knees, refusing to stand.
It wasn’t until Mia uttered words of forgiveness that Fiona finally rose, her eyes reflecting apprehension, completely devoid of the
arrogance she had displayed earlier.
After Fiona left, the office gradually returned to silence.
Standing nearby, Felix finished perusing the message from Mia.
His gaze became intricate as it shifted toward Mia. He hadn’t expected her to behind the scenes.

Despite Keystone Construction facing bankruptcy, the Stewart family was affluent, having been wealthy for several generations.
The sight of Fiona kneeling to apologize to Mia was truly surprising.
In a hushed tone, Felix instructed, “Mia, come to my office for a moment.”
Mia knew what he wanted to discuss. She entered his office and candidly expressed, “Felix, to be honest, I’m not entirely sure
about the details of everything that happened.
“Right now, I’m just as puzzled as you are.”
“Alright, if you’re not willing to share, I won’t press further. But it seems like there’s a silver lining to this situation,” Felix
commented.
Aware of Felix’s skepticism, Mia decided not to delve into more details.
Upon returning to her seat, she couldn’t resist the urge to search for information about Keystone Construction, eager to unveil
the identity of the sudden acquirer.
A possibility flashed through Mia’s mind, though it seemed highly unlikely.
After conducting a brief search, she discovered that the acquiring entity was none other than Vista Properties.

Could it truly be Maya’s family’s company?
Mia found the situation increasingly perplexing. Just yesterday, at the restaurant, Maya had threatened her, asserting the support
of a powerful brother.
Now, coincidentally. Maya’s brother had acquired the company!
What could Maya be plotting?
While scrolling through messages, Mia suddenly stumbled upon reports of environmental pollution issues at the golf course
owned by Keystone Construction.
The heightened public concern triggered an immediate limit–down for the company’s stock.
Simultaneously, news began to circulate that Keegan, overwhelmed by the stress, had suffered a stroke and was admitted to the
hospital.
With his survival hanging in uncertainty, a scandal erupted as multiple children contested the inheritance.
Overnight, Keystone Construction had plummeted into a profound crisis.
Mia wasn’t surprised at all. After all, Keegan had caused harm to so many women in the past, and ending up in such a situation
was simply what he deserved.
Nonetheless, the series of events unfolding appeared to be too coincidental.
In that instant, Mia received a call from Shelly. She answered with a frown, “Hello?”
“Mia, did you complain to Timothy about me? He canceled my credit card and prohibited my family from giving me any money.
You’re a heartless woman,” Shelly accused.
Mia was stunned. She had indeed voiced her concerns to Timothy about the incident involving Shelly.
However, her intention was merely for Timothy to caution Shelly, advising her to steer clear of Mia’s life. All Mia yearned for was
a tranquil existence, untangled from family conflicts.
Yet, she never anticipated that Timothy would take concrete measures against Shelly, especially given their familial connection.
