Mia’s back tensed momentarily. Since when did Maya, this dumb bitch, be so astute? Mia


    couldn’t fathom how Maya had discerned her true motives.


    As Mia turned around, she was met with Maya’s smug expression. “What do you want?”


    It nearly slipped Mia’s mind–Maya’s brother was also a doctor. Perhaps Maya had some


    connection to Connor as well.


    Amidst the redevelopment of Mia’s old neighborhood, Maya had been meddling behind the scenes.


    Should Maya discover Mia’s rtionship with Connor, what repercussions would follow?


    With a triumphant expression, Maya retorted, “Mia, perhaps it’s time for you to abandon this


    fantasy. You’re simply not worthy of Connor. Stop indulging in illusions.”


    At Maya’s words, Mia raised her eyebrows slightly. There was something strangely familiar about


    Maya’s remark.


    Timothy had previously expressed a simr sentiment about Mia and Connor not being a suitable


    match.


    Of course, Mia and Connor weren’tpatible–they were siblings! The idea of them being


    together was absurd.


    It seemed that both Maya and Timothy had misconstrued Mia’s rtionship with Connor,


    assuming they were a couple.


    If that were indeed the case, handling the situation would be much easier.


    With a sly smile, Mia remarked, “Maya, don’t you think you’re meddling a bit too much?“.


    “Very well, I’ll speak with Connor directly to rify matters. Then you’ll realize if I’m truly meddling,


    ”


    Maya retorted, ready to step into the elevator.


    Sensing the situation escting, Mia swiftly grabbed Maya and pressed her against the wall,


    determined to prevent her from reaching Connor.


    Frustrated, Maya demanded, “Let go!”


    “I won’t!” Pressing Maya’s shoulders, Mia forcefully pinned her against the wall, rendering her unable to


    move.


    Their proximity was ufortably close.

    Mia had just realized she was half a head taller than Maya, and Maya’s petite stature couldn’t


    budge her at all.


    Suddenly, a cold voice broke their confrontation. “What’s going on here?”


    Mia nced over to see Timothy and Sharon nearby, though she couldn’t shake the sense of


    ambiguity in their gazes.


    Timothy’s expression turned grim as he demanded, “Aren’t you going to let go?”


    Observing the two women closely, with Mia pressing Maya against the wall, their positions seemed


    oddly intimate from a distance.


    Was Mia now targeting women as well?


    Sharon hurried over and eximed, “Mia, what are you doing to Ms. Lane?”


    Upon spotting Sharon, Maya swiftly adopted a pitiable expression. “Mrs. Barrett, I have no idea what


    Ms. Bowen wants from me. She suddenly restrained me and wouldn’t let go. She even hurt my hand!”


    Mia immediately let go and responded with a cheerful expression, “I was simply teasing Ms. Lane,


    that’s all.”


    Sharon looked up. “Is it appropriate to y such a prank on Ms. Lane? Tim, you witnessed it


    firsthand!”


    Observing Timothy’s displeased expression, Mia couldn’t shake off her unease. Why was he so

    concerned about Maya?


    It wasn’t as if Mia had caused any significant harm to Maya.


    Maya quickly turned to Timothy with a pleading expression. “I can’t believe Mia harassed me just now.


    Thankfully, you arrived in time, or I don’t know what might have urred.


    “After all, I am heterosexual. I’m only interested in men.”


    Mia was taken aback and stared incredulously at Maya. “Please tell me, when did your moralpass


    go astray?”


    When exactly did Mia behave inappropriately?
