At this point, Mia sort of understood what happened at the orphanage back then. Maya probably knew


    Dominic was looking for Mia, but she chose to deceive him and reced Mia as the daughter of the


    Lanes.


    Dominic regretted it badly. He red at Maya. “The Lanes will hold you responsible for this. You’ll end


    up


    in prison.”


    Infuriated, Sharon chimed in. “I’ll also hold you responsible for my son’s injury!” Little did she expect


    Maya to attack someone with a knife, almost hurting Timothy in the process. She was convinced that


    Maya was a lunatic, and she even felt quite relieved that it was Mia who married Timothy instead of


    Maya.


    As Maya began to scream frantically, a few shrill cackles escaped her lips asionally. She seemed to


    have lost her sanity.


    Dominic frowned. “Keep an eye on her.”


    “Enough, let’s leave. The event’s about to start, so let’s go.” Mia nced up at Timothy. “It’s better for


    you


    to go to the hospital.”


    After saying that, she left with the Lanes promptly.

    Chancing a nce at Timothy, Dominic said, “We’ll bring Mia back to Nord City, and I hope you’ll refrain


    from showing up before her, Mr. Barrett.”


    Timothy remained silent, yet his darkened gaze was fixated on Mia. He couldn’t care less about what


    the


    Lane family said. She was pregnant with his child, after all.


    If the child wasn’t his, he couldn’t fathom why Mia tried to keep it a secret from him, to the point that


    she


    was willing to let him misunderstand her rtionship with Connor. It was a fact that the child belonged


    to


    him, and even Mia’s identity change couldn’t alter that.


    Timothy felt slightly relieved that he had a child. Otherwise, he had no reason to make her stay.


    Meanwhile, Mia left the dressing room with her brothers. Mixed emotions swirled in her chest. She


    thought she had finally reconnected with her family, but she didn’t expect their prestigious background.


    Nor did she foresee her future as the daughter of a rich family. She has swapped positions with Maya


    entirely, and Maya was now an orphan.


    Silence hung in the air when they stepped into the elevator.


    “Mia, are you mad?” Dominic asked.


    Liam chimed in swiftly. “Mia, it was Dominic’s idea to get us to keep our identities a secret. We didn’t


    agree to it. me him.”


    Without a trace of hesitation, ude said, “Exactly. We never wanted to lie to you. Dominic forced us to


    do so.”


    Dominic was bewildered. How could they betray him in the blink of an eye? Weren’t they supposed to


    back each other up?


    Feeling perplexed, Mia nced over at them. The other five Lane brothers separated themselves from


    Dominic, leaving him deserted in a corner. He stood still, looking particrly pitiable despite his big


    frame.


    He looked at Mia, saying, “I admit it’s my fault back then. I underestimated the evil and greediness in


    one’s heart, and I didn’t expect a little girl like Maya to manifest such malice. If I didn’t bring her back,


    she might’ve already told me about your whereabouts to ensure she’ll lead a good life.”


    Mia’s eyes reddened. “Dominic, it’s not your fault. No one expected Maya to be that malicious as a kid.


    I can’t remember what happened back then, so I have no idea why she lied.”
