Chapter 217
Mia was slightly stunned. She glanced down at her phone. It was Timothy.
Her head shot back up as she replied gracefully, “Oh, don’t bother. It’s a scam call.”
Dominic frowned as he asked, “Who’s harassing you?”
Could it be Timothy, that old and divorced prick?
Mia pursed her lips before coming up with something plausible, “Um, I have been receiving calls about
whether I’d fancy a renovation, since I just bought my house not long ago.”
Dominic nodded. So, this was the truth.
As he stared at Mia, he said, “Mia, you must let me know if anyone’s bullying you.”
“I know.”

Meanwhile, Timothy’s gaze was fixated on the phone. How dare Mia not pick up his calls?
Didn’t she sound so confident when she texted him earlier?
He massaged his temples as he read her message again. He gave Shelly a call.
She answered the call after a while.
In a cautious manner, Shelly asked, “Timothy? What’s the matter?”

although her voice was tinged with fear.
Shelly felt totally justified. Moreover, Wilhelmina, Bob and Mary would be held responsible for what they

“I’m not going to! You’ll have to kill me for that!” Shelly snapped.
Timothy’s expression was stoic as he hung up.
He glanced over at Walter as he instructed, “Investigate the demolition issue on the previous residential
area
Mia resided in. Make an appointment with George. I need to talk to him.”
Walter nodded. After he left, Timothy took his phone out. It suddenly dawned on him that Mia had
