Chapter 372


    Mia''s mind started whirling, "People aren''t stupid. Those earning money through unsavory means will


    definitely try to bring Chad down and rece him with one of their own, so they can continue their


    illegal activities.


    Big Bro had vouched for Chad, and the investigators had left. But at thest minute, someone exposed


    Molly''s identity, linking her closely with Chad and Big Bro.


    Even if the higher-ups decided to punish someone, it should be Kendrick. After all, Chad was just a kid


    sixteen years ago. What''s he got to do with it? So the real target is Chad. Everyone else is just cannon


    fodder.


    If Chad is eliminated this time, they''ll push one of their own into this crucial position, and the dirty


    money will keep flowing.


    After all, money is what everyone is after."


    Andre asked her, "Mia, did you deduce all this just from considering their personal interests?"


    Mia shook her head, "Not entirely. Behavioral analysis, remember? Dad taught me and Cooper."


    Andre looked at his petite wife, whose brain was working overtime.


    Today, after hearing her words, he realized he had underestimated her.


    Many times, she had not let him down and had always been there to help him out.


    Andre wanted topliment her, but he was afraid that Mia would be even prouder than a


    peacock and give him a hard time.


    "So you guys have narrowed it down to thepetitors and their backers?"


    Mia nodded, "Honey, do you think my analysis makes sense?"


    Andre chuckled. Her analysis was not only logical but also echoed his own thoughts.


    "What''s your next move after your discussion?"


    In any case, her husband was her closest confidant, and Mia didn''t hide anything from him. She


    believed that letting him know was much better than leaving him in constant worry, thinking she was


    going out to fight.


    "We''ve divided the tasks. Ie up with the ideas, Molly gathers information, and Leo executes."


    Andreughed at this little team, "You guys have a clear division ofbor." He was actually looking


    forward to his wife''s ingenious ns.


    "I''m pregnant. I can only contribute ideas. I can''t go out and gather information.


    Molly is close to Chad. Her dad would definitely discuss the matter with her brother at home, so she''s


    in the best position to gather information. Plus, Molly has a job now, so she can''t move around freely.


    Leo can drive and knows a lot of people. He''s the most resourceful, so he''s the best person to execute


    the n."


    Mia utilized each of their strengths to the fullest. "Here''s what I''m thinking…"


    That night, Mia and her husband video-chatted for two hours, discussing things at length.


    The Byrne family.


    Mia watched as her father called Chad into the study, and she quietly followed.


    Leo couldn''t sleep that night, so he started researching the Mastin family''s past on hisputer.


    After her video chat with her husband, Mia, who had generated the ideas, gave her phone several


    kisses and then went to bed.


    Before going to bed, she engaged in a little heart-to-heart with her child.

    "Kick mommy, why aren''t you moving?"


    The next day,


    Leo ate breakfast early and went out.


    Naomiined about her son in the living room, "He''s on vacation but doesn''t help at thepany.


    Instead, he goes out ying games. When Andrees back, he needs to discipline him."


    Mia responded, "Naomi, just let Leo be. He''s grown up. Andre can only guide him, not control him like


    before. Too much control can make a child weak."


    Naomiughed and said to Hansen, "Dad, look at Mia. She already knows how to educate children


    even before she bes a mom."


    Hansen nodded approvingly, "That''s true. Mia may be young, but her mind is the sharpest."


    "Mia is right. Andre was taking care of Leo and made me too rxed. Whenever Leo misbehaved, I


    wanted to call Andre." Naomi added, "Mia will definitely be a good mom."


    Mia quickly interrupted, "No, Naomi, as long as you''re not mad about what I said earlier. Besides, I


    don''t want Andre to discipline Leo because he needs a few months off. In a few months, he''ll have to


    take care of a newborn."


    "Silly child, we''re family. There''s nothing to get mad about. Whatever you say, I won''t be angry." Naomi


    was growing more fond of Mia, her affection tinged with a touch of mother-daughter love.


    Sometimes, when Mia went back to her parents'' house for a couple of days, Naomi would miss her and


    want to bring her back.


    Hansen missed Mia too, but when he saw her, he always wanted to bicker with her.


    Bruceter said, "Our family can''t do without Mia."


    Her brother missed her and didn''t want toe home.


    Naomi missed her and couldn''t sleep well.


    Her father missed her and found life boring without her.


    Only he and his son were indifferent.


    "Naomi, I want to ask you something."


    Naomi stated upfront, "I can choose to answer or not."


    Mia nodded, "It''s just a small matter. I want to know what I should eat to benefit my baby?"


    Naomi was taken aback, "Everything you eat is beneficial for you and the baby. We''ve even hired a


    nutritionist specifically to prepare a diet n for you."


    Mia responded, "So eating more is good for my baby?"


    "Not necessarily. If you eat too much, it could put pressure on the baby. What''s wrong?" Naomi asked.


    Mia held her belly with a gloomy expression, "My baby''s not kicking."


    Naomi burst intoughter, "It''s not time yet. Pregnancy is a long process. At five months, you should


    enjoy the baby''s movements. Later, even if you don''t want them to kick, they will still kick."


    Suddenly, Hansen understood why his daughter-inw was holding her belly anxiously yesterday. It


    was the baby''s movements.


    "Your baby is still too young to understand you, so they won''t kick."


    "Dad, how do you know my son can''t understand me?" Mia asked curiously.


    Hansen puffed up his chest, "Humph, your mom gave birth to three children, and I was there taking


    care of her each time."


    "Well, my dad''s quite the family man."


    Hansen beamed, "Of course, Bruce and Andre always look up to me."


    "Whoa, my dad''s actually a role model."


    Hansen started to preen, "That''s right, Bruce and Andre always see me as their idol."


    Mia: "But your idol status isn''t all that great, huh? Even enjoying an ice cream depends on your fans''


    approval?"


    Mia teased Hansen about how he was constantly overshadowed by Andre.


    Hansen''s face instantly turned red, "That''s because there''s an infuriating sprite like you by his side. I


    have to listen to my son to make him happy."


    Mia: "Well~ Is my dad''s love that great?"


    "See for yourself, I am the best father."


    Naomi chuckled from the side, the lively duo in the house were at it again.
