Chapter 228: Mommy, Do You Have A Baby In Your Belly

"Your version of a small lesson is impressive enough." The corners of Mia's lips widened into a cold sneer as she said, "Is this an attempt to drive me to my doom?"

She looked at Mia and let out a chuckle before she put down the scissors in her hand and grabbed the silk handkerchief next to her to wipe her hands and said to Mia with a smile, "Miss Jones, what a ridiculous thing to say. Aren't you the one trying to drive people to their doom? How can my older brother be compared to Amelia's older brother?"

So it turned out that she really did know.

Mia wasn't anxious, but instead lowered her head and sneered as she said to Ava in a cold voice, "You threatened someone to help you do that immoral deed to save her brother, so how come now that it's your turn, you feel that you can't tolerate it? What kind of person is your brother? Is he not superior to other people? If Mr. Greco found out that you harmed Danny, do you think you can still leisurely trim flowers here?"

Even if Victor treated Ava well, compared to Danny, Ava was nothing. Ava wasn't anxious at all, but instead lowered her head and chuckled as she said, "Didn't I just say so? I have to thank you and Dylan for helping me out. I'm really somewhat unable to bring myself to hurt my own brother."

Her words made Mia's face fall for an instant, and her expression became extremely unpleasant. She looked at Ava in disbelief and said in shock, "You... are willing to sacrifice your own brother for your own benefit? As expected, you're ruthless indeed!"

"This isn't called sacrifice. It is the lesser of the two evils. In the future, after a prolonged period of time in the Greco family, Miss Jones will also understand." As she spoke, she sat down in front of Mia, and surprisingly, she had the nerve to pour a cup of tea for Mia and herself. The moment she put down the teacup, she pretentiously covered her mouth as she said, "Oops, I forgot that you probably won't be staying in the Greco family much longer. You brought Danny to do such a humiliating thing and made the Greco family's stock plummet. On the contrary, I righteously punished my own family and gained the old man's trust. He has already heeded my words and will let me raise Danny in the future. Will his condition get worse while he is in my hands?"

Mia's expression darkened as she said, "Do you think Danny is someone you can pick up just because you want to?"

"You are trying to say that Dylan won't agree, right? You still don't know, right? Half an hour ago, someone began to buy up the Greco family's shares, and with the shipping incident that hasn't been completely resolved, Dylan is too busy worrying about himself, so how can he have time to worry about you?"

Mia's eyebrows furrowed as she said, "You underestimate Dylan, and you underestimate me as well."

Ava said, "Or else what? What can you do? Previously, the Greco family's business was good, so no one dared to say anything, but in this situation, what is Dylan qualified to say?" Ava glanced at Mia and sneered as she said, "Unless you give birth to a son, your position in the Greco family will be a deadlock that can never be dissolved."

Mia frowned. She hadn't graduated yet, so she didn't have any plans to have a child with Dylan, and even if she was pregnant, when she gave birth, it would be too late for anything.

She was deliberately trying to infuriate Mia by telling her that Danny wasn't her child, right?

Ava had expected to see a look of anger and outrage on Mia's face, but instead, her words only made Mia let out a soft chuckle, and she said to Ava, "This matter... isn't something you should worry about. If you have time... it's better to worry about that son of yours."

"What?" On Ava's face, there was finally a crack.

Ava looked at Mia in disbelief and anger, and her expression became unpleasant.

Mia said with a smile, "If I'm not wrong... his grades are very good, right? He is now in his senior year, the most critical year when he will soon take the college entrance exam, you say... if a little mishap happened, how regretful would that be?"

Ava said, "You... Mia, you look innocent and innocuous, but it turns out that it's all a pretense. You're too malicious. He's still a child!"

Ava glared at Mia's face with an unpleasant expression.

However, Mia chuckled as she said to Ava, "Madam, I don't understand. I thought that people like you don't know how to spell the word conscience at all. Otherwise... how could you not spare a child, like Danny? Huh?"

Ava's expression was gloomy as she coldly glared at Mia in anger and dismay, but she didn't know how to answer Mia's words.

Mia chuckled a few times and said, "As long as Danny isn't sent to the Greco family, your son will also be safe and sound. I have never been a person who give people no way out. However, if you force me, there is no telling what I will do! If you want to drive me away, if you want to fight Dylan, if you want to vie for anything, then fine, it's okay to be ruthless... but don't touch the child."

Mia stood up and approached Ava and said in a cold voice, word by word, "Family is off limits. If you hurt my children and relatives, I will make you regret it."

When she spoke, she came extremely close and looked at Ava while saying word for word, "Moreover, by letting the Greco family's stocks plummet, your own interests will also be compromised, so don't be instigated by someone to do something you shouldn't do, because it might become irreversible."

After Mia said this, disregarding the face Ava was making, she turned around and left.

Ava, compared to the scoundrel, Eleanor, had more sophistication and viciousness to her tactics.

However, her bottom line was Danny, yet Ava repeatedly harmed Danny, so if Ava didn't get taught a lesson, how could she be afraid?

After leaving the Greco family's Old Residence, Mia returned home. Over the past few days, Dylan was too busy, so Mia was also anxious. During this period, she gave Dylan several suggestions, and after Ava stopped meddling, things went much more smoothly for the company. Finally, on Thursday, Dylan told Mia that he had found the mole, and that it was Dylan's uncle who had joined forces with the York family and colluded with them to make this happen, but it was solved for the time being.

Dylan made it sound easy, but Mia knew that he must have experienced many difficulties for such a big matter, so how could it be easy?

The Greco family also no longer mentioned letting Danny go live with the Greco family in the Old Residence. This week, Danny was attending kindergarten, so Victor had nothing to say.

On Friday night, the family headed towards the Jones family's home as promised, but as soon as they got into the car, Mia smelled the paint smell of the car and covered her lips as she retched.

Mia felt nauseous and uncomfortable.

Danny asked innocently, "Mommy, do you have a baby in your belly?"
