Mia meant to ask earlier, but she was interrupted by Maya’s sudden appearance.


    ude’s expression shifted slightly. He was caught off guard by her question. “Maya knows how to


    y the piano as well. She wants to join our orchestra.”


    “So she’ll be joining in the future?” Mia asked curiously.


    “In her dreams! I won’t let her join. She isn’t talented at all.” ude’s tone wasced with disdain.


    There was no way he’d let Maya join the orchestra.


    Given Maya’s influential family background, Mia thought it wouldn’t be difficult for Maya to join the


    orchestra if she wanted.


    Just as they were about to leave backstage, Kennedy went up to Mia and asked, “Mia, it’s all thanks to


    you that the event ended splendidly. Why don’t you join us for a meal?”


    Mia didn’t expect this at all. She really didn’t want to entertain them since she only did it for the sake of


    her credit.


    ude took note of her uneasiness. ncing up at Kennedy, he replied, “Sorry, but we have an


    appointmentter. Maybe next time.”


    Kennedy was aware of his identity as the general manager of the orchestra. He figured that he thought


    highly of Mia’s talent as well. Knowing that he couldn’t afford to offend him, he replied servilely with a


    smile, “Sure, no worries.”


    Mia heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, ude rejected his offer in her stead.


    As she left with him, she spotted a luxury car parked nearby. It was Timothy’s car. She quickly withdrew


    her gaze after a brief nce.


    Scrambling into ude’s car, she chanced a nce at the rearview mirror, but she couldn’t discern


    Timothy’s expression.


    Timothy narrowed his eyes as he watched ude’s car leave. There was aplicated look in his


    eyes. ncing over at Heath, he asked, “Did you find out why Mia was close to the Lanes?”


    Heath hesitated. “Not very specific. But it seems like the Lanes began to get close with Mrs. Barrett


    ever since you proposed a divorce.


    “It does seem strange, but there are no significant findings from our investigation.”


    “You gotta be kidding me. Keep investigating then!”


    The way Mia left with ude lingered in Timothy’s mind. Feeling frustrated, he winded down the


    window to get some fresh air. Little did he expect Maya to dash over at him.

    “Tim, you’re still here.”


    He winded up the window instantly and kicked the driver’s seat. “Go!”


    His car zoomed off, leaving Maya stomping her foot in chagrin, looking positively sullen. He had been


    giving her the cold shoulder ever since her scheme to get Laura to undergo surgery had been exposed.


    ke approached her and said, “Ms. Lane, why does it have to be Timothy? There are so many rich


    bachelors in Bern City. You can just date any of them.”


    “No! I’m the daughter of the Lane family from Nord City, of course, it’s only right for me to marry the


    richest bachelor. Timothy outshines everyone.”


    Lowering his voice, ke continued, “Ms. Lane, this is for your own good. You should be aware that


    the real daughter of the Lane family has shown up, and It’s only a matter of time before they find her.
