Last time, in a moment of twisted logic, she tried to kill that old bitch Grace, but she didn't expect to be caught red-handed by Nora. This gave Nora leverage, and she was blackmailed into transferring the house. It took Mia a long time to come up with this foolproof plan.
To ensure her uncle's family moved out quietly and kept their mouths shut, Mia paid a hefty sum of hush money.
Combined with the three million dollars in compensation to Nora, this move completely drained all her savings from over the years.
The money she gave her uncle was enough for him to buy a new house. Mia really couldn't understand why he still went and complained to her mother.
"Uncle told you?"
Mia muttered, "Why can't Uncle keep his mouth shut? And he made it sound so awful! What does he mean I kicked them out? I clearly gave him money to find a new place."
Cynthia didn't have much affection for her useless brother either.
Back when she was trying to climb the social ladder and snag a rich man, she spent a lot of money on etiquette classes and an expensive wardrobe.
She hustled to earn all that money herself; no one in her family was of any help.
But the moment she married into the Hayes family, those mooching relatives sniffed out the money and came knocking.
She was worried they might let something slip or affect her standing, so she sent them far away.
Grace's old property was in a somewhat remote location, but fortunately, the area had developed in recent years, making it quite a comfortable place to live. She settled them there, figuring they could live their own little lives and everyone would mind their own business.
She didn't expect Mia to kick them out.
"So what do you need that house for?"
Cynthia hadn't seen Mia go live there either.
Mia obviously wouldn't dare admit she had to give the house to Nora as compensation.
She just said, "I was short on cash at the time, so I sold that house."
