Chapter 193
Mia didn’t expect to bump into the duo at the airport. Judging by their lack of luggage, she doubted they
were
here for a trip.
She wondered if they were here to pick someone up.
The arrogant Shelly remarked, “What are the odds? Why do we see you everywhere we go?”
Mia replied indifferently, “I have the same question.”
The trio entered the airport, heading to the waiting area on the first floor.
Maya glanced at Mia. “Picking someone up too?”
Shelly grinned. “I bet she is. Her salary only allows her to travel by train and cab. How could she afford
a flight
ticket? It’s expensive.”
Mia’s eyelid twitched. “Are you sure you’ve had an education? Why is your maturity equivalent to that
of an elementary kid? Does taking a flight fan your ego that much?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Who are you calling an elementary kid, Mia Bowen? I graduated from a prestigious university, unlike
you who quit school,” Shelly snapped back, her ego clearly bruised.
“Oh, does buying a certificate from a random college count too? I think your idea of a ‘prestigious
university‘ is
a bit off,” Mia added.
Shelly’s incessant buzzing was as annoying as a mosquito, pushing Mia to her limit.
Someone like Shelly needed a lesson to straighten herself up.
Shelly’s expression stiffened. Instead of rebutting, she zipped her lips and concealed her anger.
A mocking voice echoed in Maya’s head, “Shelly Barrett is the epitome of stupidity, but she was lucky
to be born into a wealthy family. She’s raised with love.”
Maya glanced at Mia. “I’m here to pick my brother up. What about you?”
“Same here,” Mia responded calmly.
Since Dominic and Eva were coming, Mia wanted to pick them up. After all, they treated her very well.
A hint of surprise flashed in Maya’s eyes. “You have a brother?”
Maya wondered, aside from those irresponsible adoptive parents and Aunt Patricia, who else is there?
Shelly sneered. “Isn’t it a trend nowadays to call ‘good friends‘ brothers?”
Only then did Maya grasp the situation, but in the wrong way.
Talking sense into a person like Shelly was impossible for Mia, so she simply walked to the other side
to distance herself from them.

She didn’t want to share the same space with bad omens.
Mia checked the time. The plane should have landed safely by now.
Soon, Dominic called her, “We’ve just landed, Mia. Didn’t I tell you there’s no need for you to come all
this way
for us?”
“It’s fine. I don’t have any lectures, and I can take a day off from the studio.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith her adoptive parents causing trouble, Mia had decided to stay away from work for a few days. It
would
also spare Felix unnecessary hassle.
Now that the old neighborhood was on the brink of demolition, her adoptive parents would be
preoccupied for
a while.
Knowing that Dominic and the others were coming brought a sense of security to Mia.
A smile spread across her face as she told Dominic on the phone, “Aunt Patricia went grocery
shopping first
thing in the morning. We should be able to have a piping hot meal by the time we get home.”
“Okay. But it’ll take some time before we reach the waiting area,” Dominic said before ending the call.
He looked at his wife. “Why don’t we walk out? Mia’s waiting outside. If we leave the airport by taking
VIP
transportation, she might get suspicious.”
Eva nodded. “Sure. A little walk won’t hurt.”
