Mia looked at Maya upon Liam’s words, puzzled.


    Mava was the take princess?


    The term exasperated Maya so much that she screamed, “So what if I do? I am part of the family and I


    have the right to voice out my opinion. How could you keep me in the dark? I’m not a fake princess!”


    Maya couldn’t ept reality. If only she had found Mia sooner, she would’ve been able to deal with Mia


    instead of bing the passive party.


    Dominic said coldly. “You’re not one of us. You’re aware of this from the day you left the orphanage.


    Your grew greediel, coveting things that aren’t rightfully yours.”


    “Things that aren’t rightfully mine? I am Ms. Lane too! What part do Ickpared to Mia? I’ve


    contributed so much to the family for so many years. But you want to drive me away as soon as Mia


    returns? Not a chancel”


    Maya was losing it, feeling that the whole world was treating her unfairly.


    Dominic frowned. “What do you want?”


    She sneered and turned back, pointing at Timothy. “I want to marry into the Barrett family and be


    Mrs. Barrett.”


    Timothy’s brows furrowed. “I’d rather be single forever than marry you.”


    Sharon chimed in. “Maya, look, Timothy doesn’t like you. A forced rtionship is bound to be


    miserable.”


    Maya red at Sharon. “How ironic. Before this, haven’t you always been hoping for me to marry


    Timothy? Now that you discover that I’m an adopted child, you’re repulsive to the idea, huh? I guess


    rich


    people are materialistic too.”


    That pricked Sharon’s guilty conscience, but Maya did cross the line with her words.


    Sharon snorted, “That’s unbing of you to say that, Ms Lane. I thought you were raised to be


    proper.

    I never knew that you’d be this disrespectful.”


    “I know, right? Aunt Sharon, I think something’s off about Maya too. She’s an adoptive child, but she


    ims herself to be Ms. Lane in Bern City. She lied to all of us.” Shelly came to the scene as she found


    it


    odd that no one showed up.


    Who would’ve known she’d overhear such a mind–blowing secret? Maya was adopted by the Lanes


    while Mia was the true Ms. Lane!


    This was a melodrama ying in real life!


    As bothdies from the Barrett family mocked her, Maya couldn’t help but barked back, “You don’t have


    the right to say that to me. Shelly Barrett! Who do you think you are? You’re broke and you used me for


    my credit card.”


    Shelly gulped. “You were trying to curry favor with me because you want to marry into our family. Now,


    we know that you’re just an adoptive child and a poor woman who’s going to be driven out to the


    streets.


    We’re different.”


    That was Shelly’s revenge for Maya who acted all haughty, and for freezing Shelly’s credit card. Shelly


    couldn’t ept thating from a mere adoptive child.


    Sharon nodded. “Shelly, you’re right. We’ve always emphasized thepatibility of our family


    background. Since Maya is an adopted child, she’s not fit to be one of us. Mia is the better candidate.”


    Mia’s eyes darted at Sharon, and the corner of her lips twitched.


    Never once had Sharon treated her so nicely. This was the first.


    Before this. Sharon kept giving her the cold treatment and picking on her.


    To have power was indeed an advantage.


    Sharon expressed guilt. “I didn’t know all of this, Mia. Maya kept driving a wedge between us. That was


    why I had been treating you badly. But we know the truth now. We’re still a family.”
