Maya was also considered the daughter of the Lane family. Credits should be given to her for placating that
mad old woman in the Lane residence.
Perhaps, the Lane brothers were hoping for the true Ms. Lane to return?
In their dreams! That wouldn’t happen in this lifetime!
Maya took a seat and covered her face, which carried a sinister smile in the end.
It seemed like she should give in to them at the moment. She could plan the next step after the Lane brothers
attended her engagement ceremony.
As for the wedding gifts, she could figure something out.
Although she couldn’t demand it, the mad old woman might give it to her, and that wouldn’t violate her deal
with Dominic.
The true Ms. Lane wouldn’t come back, for Maya had already taken her place!
Mia worked on drafting the engagement ceremony venue in the office. The romantic and beautiful draft drawn
earned an envious smile from her.
In reality, she had envisioned how her wedding would be. However, the marriage with Timothy was done in a
rush back then.
Let alone a wedding, even the basic procedures weren’t done.
He was unconscious at that time, his life hanging in the balance.
At that time, Mia had a crush on him so she didn’t regret marrying him. Yet, who would’ve known things would
turn out this way?
After all, it is best to keep a distance from the person one likes.
If Mia could turn back time, she would give her naive past self a smack at the back of the head.
What did Timothy’s life and death have to do with her anyway?
Pitying a man was the start of a misfortune–she was the living example of it.
It took a few inward curses to let her steam off. She caressed her belly, thinking, “Baby, I don’t hate you. Although I don’t like that bastard, I love kids.”
At that moment, she received a call from Patricia.
“Mia, the person in charge of the demolition came to me this afternoon. Tomorrow is the day everyone gathers to sign the contract. But he told me that someone else had signed the contract for our house.”
“How could that be? Dominic already made arrangements. Who signed the paper?”
“According to the neighbors, your adoptive parents visited this afternoon. It could be them. What should we

Mia stood up and began walking out of the office. “Calm down, Aunt Patricia. I’m on my way.”
Felix chased after her. “Where are you going, Mia?” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Something happened back at home.”
“I can give you a ride. It’s time to clock off work anyway. Just take my offer.”
Mia, who wanted to get to Patricia quickly, nodded and got into his car.
He sped to the old neighborhood.
The moment they arrived in the old neighborhood, Mia witnessed her adoptive parents bullying Patricia.
She rushed to them with a cold expression. Then, she yelled, “Stop! What are you doing!”
Mary snorted. “I’ve signed the demolition papers, Mia Bowen. That house is ours. Don’t think of getting a share of the pie out of this.”
Mia frowned. “Impossible. You don’t own the house. How could you sign the papers?”
Felix walked up to her. “Mia, take care of Aunt Patricia. I’ll go ask the person in charge in the office.”
Mary and Bob exchanged looks before she snorted. “No use asking them. We’ve signed the papers. Let’s go, Bob. Let’s sit and wait for the money to be wired to our account.”
While Mia was comforting Patricia, Felix exited the office. “Mia, did you get on someone’s bad side?”
