“Sorry.” If he wanted to buy a house, he needed to be clear about its purpose. So, the assistant asked again: “Mr. Andre, what kind of house are you looking for this time? A villa, or a mansion? For investment, or for residence? Any preferences for the location? What’s your budget limit?”
Andre gripped his phone tightly, his voice deep as he asked, “Have you ever worked in a real estate agency before?”
The assistant was immediately taken aback, quickly explaining, “I swear, I haven’t. Everything on my resume is true. It’s just that this is my first time helping you buy a house, and I’m not sure what you need.”
Losing patience, Andre said, “A villa, for residence, in the suburbs, no budget limit.”
“Okay, I’ll find it for you right away.”
After hanging up, Andre turned to leave.
He realized the environment in the Cedillo family was no longer bearable. He initially wanted Naomi to bully Mia, but in the end, Mia won.
Now, the Cedillo family was in chaos. His mind was always at home when he was at work.
He knew he didn’t need to worry about Mia, but every time, he would imagine scenes of Mia being bullied by his family, which affected his work efficiency.
To solve this problem, he decided to move immediately. He had a personal attachment to Maplewood Estates, a place he personally supervised and designed. He didn’t want any unrelated women living there. So, he decided to buy another house.
Once this was settled, all that was left was to wait for Mia to come home, and then tell her they were moving. He kept waiting for her, but by nine at night, there was still no sign of Mia. When he called Mia, he found her phone ringing in the couch.
Mia left without her phone? This made him realize the severity of the situation.
So, he went out to look for Mia, asking the se rvants in the house, “Have you seen Mia?”
“We haven’t seen Ms. Mia.”
Andre frowned, wondering where she could be. So, he went to the surveillance room.
Mia had left the Cedillo family alone four hours ago after managing to escape from the
serva nts.
Andre sat in the surveillance room, his brow furrowed. He touched his lips, “If she’s upset, she definitely won’t go back to the Irvin family, where would she go?”
Unable to figure it out, and seeing time ticking away, he began to feel anxious.
A young girl not coming home late at night, he was worried something might happen.

Chapter 38
Evergreen Haven.
Mia had been wronged by the Cedillo family and ran out alone. It was only then she realized she hadn’t brought her phone or wallet.
To avoid worrying her parents, Mia had to ask her good friend Jade for help. Jade’s family was well-off. Her father and her brother was also working in the police station, and her mother was a businesswoman. Though Jade didn’t come from a rich family like Mia, she was a force to be reckoned with in Havenbrook.
She also had a very loving brother, Chad, who was five years older than her.
Chad’s love for his sister was envied by everyone. Whatever Jade asked for, Chad would do it for her. She was also the youngest daughter of the Byrne family and was loved endlessly.
Mia met her by chance, but they quickly became best friends because of their similar personalities.
Regarding the forced marriage by the Cedillo family, only Jade knew about it.
