Upon learning of Dominic’s impending arrival, Mia couldn’t help but feel
nervous.
If Dominic were to arrive before Mia finalized her divorce with Timothy, he would undoubtedly inquire
about the reasons, leaving Jason with no means to conceal the truth.
Given Dominic’s vtile temperament, Mia feared that he might stir up trouble for Timothy upon
discovering the
situation.
Mia was determined to devise a n. quickly. She couldn’t afford any further dys.
The next day, Mia headed to the
university study hall as usual, but Dana was nowhere to be seen.
Recalling the incident from the previous afternoon outside the study hall, Mia
decided to send Dana a message. “Dana, are you still nning toe to the study hall today?”
Knowing Dana’s sensitivity and pride, Mia felt it was crucial to exin things clearly to her, especially
considering their shared background as orphans.
Unbeknownst to Mia, Dana was currently at a luxurious beauty salon. Passing her phone to Maya, she
informed, “Mia just sent me a WhatsApp message.”
“Dana, it seems like Mia is
underestimating you. How could she humiliate you like that yesterday?
“Honestly, I believe you outshine her in every aspect. Why would this wealthy, handsome guy choose
her over you?” Maya remarked.
Hearing Maya’s words, Dana couldn’t shake off the memory of the embarrassing incident from the day
before. It had left her so distressed that she hadn’t been able to sleep all night.
As she walked around campus that
morning, she couldn’t shake the fear of being mocked for her perceived audacity.
Maya pulled out her phone and essed the campus forum.
“People are already discussing
yesterday’s confession incident outside the study hall, and some are suggesting that you were being
delusional. It’s infuriating to read thesements.”
Dana’splexion paled. “What should I do now?”
“Well, I’m certain this issue can be
quickly resolved. The man from
yesterday is a wealthy tycoon. It’s unlikely he would have any real interest
in Mia.
“Their interaction was probably just a result of their previous encounter at the university hall. Mia flirted
with him for wealth, only to end up ying hard to get.
“Besides, you may have heard about her sess in winning the Fleur International Design Competition
and securing schrships from the
university, which some suggest were acquired through her involvement as a sugar baby.”
Upon hearing this, Dana’s jealousy only intensified. Why was Mia so fortunate to captivate such a
handsome and wealthy man? She yearned for that opportunity herself!
Maya smiled knowingly. “As long as you expose Mia’s true colors, her reputation will be tarnished. After
all, wealthy individuals are very concerned about their image and will surely distance themselves from
her.”
“Wouldn’t that be too much?” Dana
hesitated. Mia had been kind to her, and Dana already felt guilty for taking Mia’s ce as the Lane
family heiress’s childhoodpanion.
“Dana, if you don’t act, how will you protect your reputation at the university once this forum’s contents
spread?”
This statement struck a chord with Dana. After all, she highly valued her reputation

and dreaded the thought of being judged by others.
After some hesitation, Dana eventually epted the USB drive from Maya, nodding reluctantly. “Okay,
but what if Mia discovers this?”
“Don’t worry, even if she does, she won’t be able to harm you. By then, Mia will have her own issues to
deal with. And besides, what’s there to fear? You still have me, don’t you?”
Hearing this reassurance, Dana felt
somewhat relieved. With the USB drive in
hand, Dana was ready to leave when
Maya stopped her.
“Why don’t you finish your beauty
treatment before you go? You can use my beauty card for it. Just let the owner know if you want any
specific treatments.”
“Thank you, Ms. Lane.” Dana’s face brightened with surprise and greed. She had never imagined
indulging in such luxurious beauty treatments before.
Observing Dana’s hypocritical and vain
demeanor, Maya swiftly exited the private room, her smile disappearing in an instant.
“Keep a close watch on Dana, ensure she doesn’t stir up any trouble,” she directed.
“Ms. Lane, I’ve heard that Mr. Dominic ising to Bern City. The exact date is unclear, but it should
be within the next few days.”
“I’m aware. Dominic will return for sure. After all, I’ve announced that we’ve found the true heiress of
the Lane family,
so it’s only natural for him toe,‘
Maya replied, her expression tinged with coldness.
Whenever the topic of the real heiress arose, the Lanes would show a noticeable sense of urgency. It
was during these
moments that Maya realized she was merely a stand–in.
