Chapter 166
Mia recalled Leo''s words, saying, "Leo was worried that if something happened to me, you would kill
him, so he let me out of the car."
"Well, he won''t have to die today then."
Mia ryed Andre''s words to Leo exactly. At that moment, Leo broke out in a cold sweat, "Gosh, this
man is really formidable. How could he know about this when he''s not even here?"
Mia was also very curious, "Yeah, how did he know? It''s not like he could have just guessed it, right?"
Soon after, the Cedillo family''s doctor arrived.
Pointing at the two kids on the couch, Hansen said, "They''re the ones who crashed the car. Check
them out, especially the girl. She''s Andre''s wife. If anything happens to her, we''ll all pay when Andre
The doctor nced at Mia, who also nced back. She felt somewhat uneasy.
After the check-up, the doctor confirmed that they were both fine, only then did the Cedillo family
breathe a sigh of relief.
This incident had given them a good scare. From then on, Mia''s movements were even more restricted
in the family.
"I''m going to school in Leo''s car."
The next day, after breakfast, Mia was changing her shoes at the door with her backpack. Hansen
hobbled over with his walking stick.
"Hold on! Let the family driver take you to school today."
Mia and Leo exchanged nces. "No need. Leo''s driving skills are top-notch."
Leo nodded in agreement.
Hansen shook his head. He was adamant about not letting the two kids drive.
"No way, I don''t trust you two behind the wheel. Just wait a bit. The driver is on his way."
Mia and Leo were both resistant. Leo even grabbed the car keys, nning to sneak off.
"Leo, stop right there!" Hansen shouted.
Leo obediently stood in ce. He turned around, pleading with Hansen, "Grandpa, yesterday was an
ident. It won''t happen again today, so don''t be so nervous. I can''t not drive forever."
However, Leo was his only grandson. Hansen didn''t dare to take the risk.
Soon after, Bruce appeared, "Leo, Mia,e with me. I''m passing by the school anyway."
"That works. As long as they''re not driving."
So, Mia got to ride in Bruce''s chauffeured car to school for the first time.
Right at the school entrance, Jade Byrne and Chad Byrne were talking. Based on years of deep
friendship, Leo concluded, "Jade must have had another fight with her brother."
Mia agreed with his assessment, "Looks like Jade has pissed off Chad again."
"Who are you guys talking about?" Bruce asked.
Mia pointed at the girl in a purple sweater and white long dress at the school entrance, "Her."
Bruce followed her gaze. He saw Jade''s face and smiled. "Is this the Jade that you and Leo often
mention at home?"
Leo said, "Yes. Her dad is your colleague."
Bruce kept staring at the beautiful girl. He asked, "She looks quite adorable, just like Mia. How old is

she?"
"She''s the same age as Leo and me."
Bruce continued to stare at the girl.
"Dad, stop looking. There''s no way she and I could be together." Leo said.
Bruce shook his head, saying, "You''re not good enough for a girl like that."
In his heart, Leo thought: I really need to get a paternity test done!
They got out of the car and stood at the school gate, watching Bruce drive off.
Jade noticed them. She said to Chad, "Stop it. Mia and Leo are here. I''ll be embarrassed if you keep
on."
Chad also noticed them. He suppressed his anger and said, "Jade, if you chat with Donnie privately
again, I will really hit you."
Jade nodded, and pushed Chad, "Go on. I''m going to bete for ss. Bye! Drive safe. Bon voyage,
and if you get lost, just don''te back..." Jade inadvertently spoke her true feelings.
Chad tapped Jade''s head lightly, "Are you hoping I get lost?"
"You''re my real brother, so you absolutely can''t get lost. If you''re not there, no one will scold me, and no
one will punish me. And then, I''ll start dating boys. So, to maintain my single status, you absolutely
must not get into trouble."
Chad knew Jade was being sarcastic. He pinched Jade''s cheek, "Thank God you''re my sister. If you
were someone else, I would have hit you a long time ago."
Jade, " You can only bully me in our family."
Having said that, she got a knock on her forehead from her brother.
Mia looked at them and said to Leo, "Did you notice, Jade is a bit like you?"
"In what way?"
"You both love to talk in sarcasm."
Leo had nothing to say. He felt that it was true.
Before leaving, Chad warned Jade, "I''ll pick you up after school today to buy a new walking stick for
grandpa. Be good at school."
After his car drove off, the three friends gathered together.
"Jade, why did Chad chew you out again?"
Jade said excitedly, "He won''t let me date! I''m already 20, I should be dating. But he''s single, so he
wants me to stay single too."
Mia handed her book to Leo. Jade also handed her book to Leo. Leo, standing in between them, was
speechless.
Then, the two girls, arm in arm, walked ahead together. "I heard Chad mention Donnie. What did you
two do?"
"I secretly applied for a new phone number. I thought Chad wouldn''t find out. I went to the police
station, met Donnie and exchanged contact information again. However, just two dayster, Chad
found out again. He''s been giving me a piece of his mind all morning."
Mia said, "I''m really d I don''t have a brother."
When Chad arrived at the police station, he stormed in and demanded, "Where''s Donnie?"
Donnie was sitting in his chair, keeping his head down, not daring to say a word. Someone ratted him
out. Chad strutted over, grabbed Donnie by the arm, "Come spar with me."
All the cops around were mentally sending Donnie their condolences.
"Officer Chad, I''m not feeling too hot. Find someone else to spar with you."
Chad replied in a huff, "Well, so when you were flirting with my sister, you were feeling just fine? Did
you feel tired when you were texting my sister? You even want to pick my sister up from school! In your
dreams!"
