Mia's back tensed momentarily. Since when did Maya, this dumb bitch, become so astute? Mia couldn't fathom how Maya had discerned her true motives.As Mia turned around, she was met with Maya's smug expression. "What do you want?"It nearly slipped Mia's mind—Maya's brother was also a doctor. Perhaps Maya had some connection to Connor as well.Amidst the redevelopment of Mia's old neighborhood, Maya had been meddling behind the scenes.Should Maya discover Mia's relationship with Connor, what repercussions would follow?With a triumphant expression, Maya retorted, "Mia, perhaps it's time for you to abandon this fantasy. You're simply not worthy of Connor. Stop indulging in illusions."At Maya's words, Mia raised her eyebrows slightly. There was something strangely familiar about Maya's remark.Timothy had previously expressed a similar sentiment about Mia and Connor not being a suitable match.Of course, Mia and Connor weren't compatible—they were siblings! The idea of them bei

Sharon smiled knowingly. "Ms. Lane, as I mentioned earlier, Mrs. Barrett Senior's surgery has been successfully carried out."Tim's respect for Mrs. Barrett Senior is what led him to endure Mia's presence for so long. Now that the surgery is finished, it's only a matter of time before Mia is promptly shown the door."Maya's expression turned smug as she remembered something. "But what about Mrs. Barrett Senior's heir agreement?""No need to worry. Mia isn't pregnant. That document is merely worthless paper."After pondering for a moment, Maya felt much more relieved.…Mia descended the stairs to join Connor, and together they headed home.As Mia sat in the passenger seat, her mind churned with thoughts of Maya's accusations earlier. The memory of being labeled a harasser by Maya stirred a deep sense of disgust within Mia.She was well aware of Maya's questionable ethics but hadn't anticipated them sinking to such depths.Connor drove cautiously, attentively monitoring Mia's e

As Mia stepped out of the car, she glanced at Connor and reassured him. "Don't worry, I won't mention anything to Dominic."Entering the house together, Mia was greeted by a delightful aroma, indicating that Patricia had prepared something delicious.In the living room, Mia spotted a handsome young man sitting on the couch. Her eyes widened in surprise. "Claude?"Claude stood up from the couch with a smile and went over to Mia, affectionately ruffling her hair. "Mia, why are you back so late today? Did you have a busy day at college?"Mia hesitated before replying, "No, Grandma Laura had surgery today, so I had to stay at the hospital until the operation was finished."Claude shot a glance at Connor. Aware of Mia's previous role as a caregiver in the Barrett household, Claude had always been opposed to Connor's involvement in surgeries for the Barrett family.However, given that it was Mia's personal request, Claude refrained from saying much. After all, Mia was known for her kin

Felix looked at his reflection on the elevator wall, wearing a proud face.There wasn't much progress with Mia because it would take long for her to open up to him.Indeed, he should make more plans for himself.…Mia left the studio after arranging the documents.She pulled out her phone to contact Claude, wanting to tell him that her work was over. However, no one picked up the phone.What was going on? Was he still busy?Last night, they promised to meet up after she clocked off work.Figuring that he was in the middle of work, she brushed off the intention to call him again. She texted him instead, "Claude, I'm off work now."Within seconds, a call from Claude came. Mia answered the call without a second thought. "Claude, I—""Who are you? Why did you call in?" It was a female voice, an interrogative and cold tone.Stunned momentarily, Mia glanced at the number. "Sorry, I must've called the wrong number."Did Claude make a mistake with the digits when he gave her his

"We're the cops. There's an issue at Vania Hotel. Could you come over?" Mia could tell that something happened to Claude.He rarely traveled to Bern City, making him a foreigner here! Worried, she hung up the call and ran out of the hospital. She bypassed Timothy, who watched her leave. He didn't expect her to leave so suddenly without sparing him a word! His lips pursed into a thin line as he stared at her back. Mixed feelings swarmed in him. Just what had happened that made her this anxious?It couldn't be Connor, who actually rushed over to examine Laura a while ago. He was now having his break time.That left the question hanging in the air—who was the person that called Mia?…A distressed Mia took a cab to Vania Hotel.There was a group of people standing outside a presidential suite, seemingly guarding the entrance.She thought they would stop her, but to her surprise, they let her enter the room.Questions began popping in her head. She headed to the bedroom, wh
