Yes. Sophia answered with a small smile, though her heartbeat quickened.
Why was Mr Mayer suddenly asking about this?
What did you major in?
Finance.
Preston nodded thoughtfully. Finance is good. Francis majored in finance at the University of Toronto too.
Sophia’s mind went blank for a second.
What?!
She attended the same school as Francis Mayer?
When she fabricated her identity years ago, she chose Canada specifically so she wouldn’t run into any powerful family’s children.
Yet here they were.
Preston caught her surprise and chuckled. Surprised?
Sophia pulled herself together and returned to calm. A little. Canada is pretty dull compared to other countries.
That’s exactly why I sent him there. Preston adjusted Buddy

A black heavy motorcycle roared through the entrance of The Mayer Family estate.Francis pulled off his helmet, sweat dripping from the ends of his hair.The moment he stepped through the main doors, before he even reached the banquet hall, the butler hurried toward him in a panic.Francis? Why are you suddenly back?Where’s Sophia? Francis asked bluntly.The butler blinked. Francis, you mean...Ethan’s wife. You know who she is.Oh. The butler finally caught up. You mean Mrs Blackwood. She just left.Just left? Francis frowned. Seriously? Does it have to be this damn coincidental?How long ago is just left? One minute? Two?The butler thought for a moment.

His expression darkened and he sprinted back out.The butler shouted behind him. Francis, aren’t y

The five motorcycles rolled to a stop one after another.Matthew yanked off his helmet, shaking out his sweat dampened hair. Francis, are you insane? You almost killed yourself back there.The other three friends pulled off their helmets too, laughing as they walked over.Uriel clapped Francis on the shoulder. Dude, your skills are insane. That turn was badass.Francis didn’t respond.He pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, stuck one between his lips, lit it, and exhaled a slow ring of smoke.Percy chuckled. Francis, where have you been lately? You even stopped going to class.Where else would he go? Matthew snorted. He’s probably been hiding out like some wild hermit again.Uriel added, You didn’t get into another fight with Mr Mayer, did you?Francis still said nothing.

Lies of a Pregnant Bride 133 A Fleeting Feeling
Edgar froze for a moment when he saw how calmly Evelyn closed the gift box, though he forced a gentlemanly smile back onto his face.As long as I can make Miss Mayer smile, everything is worth it.The implication was far too direct.Evelyn’s brows tightened slightly, a faint flash of disgust flickering through her eyes.If not for Alexander’s sake, she would never have invited a man like him to her birthday.Edgar seemed ready to keep talking.But Evelyn suddenly shifted her attention elsewhere as if by accident, her eyes lighting up with pleasant surprise as she looked toward Sophia.Sorry, I need to go say hi to Sophia.She left Edgar standing there and briskly walked past him.Sophia, there you are. I was just looking everywhere for you.Even though they had exchanged eye contact several times already.Sophia didn’t expose her. Evelyn, happy birthday.Thank you. The
Lies of a Pregnant Bride 132 Evelyn’s Interference
Evelyn’s nose stung the moment she heard her mother’s voice.She almost threw herself forward, hugging Charlotte tightly, pressing her face into her mother’s shoulder like she used to when she was little.Mom.I thought you wouldn’t come. Her muffled voice carried a hint of hurt.She had assumed this year’s birthday banquet would be just as cold and quiet as the past ones, maybe even worse.Her mother’s appearance filled that empty spot in her heart instantly, warm and overwhelming.Charlotte patted her back softly. Silly girl. Birthdays are meant to be happy.Evelyn sniffed, slowly letting go, eyes slightly red but smiling brightly.Mom, I’m really happy you came.A maid stepped forward holding a delicate jewelry box.Charlotte smiled. Evelyn, this is my birthday gift for you. Open it.Evelyn stared at the box and felt an odd flicker of anticipation. She carefully
Lies of a Pregnant Bride 131 The Birthday Banquet

The parking area in front of the mansion was already packed with luxury cars.Looked like a lot of elite heirs and socialites had been invited.Madam, we’ve arrived. The driver parked and stepped out to open the door.Sophia nodded, unbuckled Buddy from his car seat, and helped him down.The moment they stepped out, two uniformed attendants approached them.The driver handed over the gold embossed invitation.After checking it, the attendants bowed politely. Mrs Blackwood, please follow us.Sophia took Buddy’s hand and walked toward the banquet hall with them.It was her first time at The Mayer Family estate.Ethan had mentioned organizing detailed dossiers on all the major families for her.But they had fought right after that, and the matter died off.She als
