that day.
With all her brothers attending the event, it presented the ideal opportunity to showcase to Mia
the stark contrasts in their lives.
After a few paces, Maya instructed Blake, “Find out the reason behind Dominic’s sudden decision
to acquire Optima Construction.”
Blake took a moment to contemplate before responding. “It’s likely just a coincidence.
“Mr. Lane has indeed been planning to establish a branch in Bern City recently, and the
preparations are already in progress.”
Maya considered this explanation, finding it plausible.
Yet, a lingering sense of unease persisted, and she couldn’t quite pinpoint the cause. It all seemed
too coincidental.
Blake suggested, “In fact, this could work in our favor. Since the compensation money from the
demolition hasn’t arrived yet, there’s a lot we can leverage.”
Upon hearing this. Maya couldn’t help but smirk. “You’re right. Take care of this matter for me.
Maya was resolute in ensuring that Mia didn’t lead a comfortable life. She harbored a strong
desire for Mia to endure a lifetime of hardship, residing at the bottom as a destitute and wretched

you arrived? I’ll come out to greet you.”
Maya left the garden and headed straight to the front gate. A sleek black luxury car pulled up.

Her complexion instantly paled. She had hoped that by delaying the discussion, the issue would eventually fade away. After all, Laura still needed her assistance, didn’t she?
Maya never anticipated Dominic presenting a physical document directly, and his demeanor was unusually resolute.
Wearing a pitiful expression, Maya pleaded, “Dominic, today is my engagement day. Do we have. to discuss this matter now?”
After the ceremony. Maya planned to return to Nord City. At that point, she would ensure her brothers witnessed how indispensable she was to Laura.
Hopefully, this would make Dominic reconsider and spare her from signing the agreement.
Dominic narrowed his eyes slightly. “Maya, I made it clear to you last night. If you’re dissatisfied with the compensation terms, feel free to suggest your own.”
Connor fixed his gaze on Maya. “But you’re marrying Timothy and assuming the role of the lady of the house, aren’t you?
“Financial concerns shouldn’t be an issue for you. After all, Dominic has been generous to you all these years!”

Dominic handed the document to Maya. “Sign it.”
Maya scrutinized the document. “Dominic, could you tell me why you’ve suddenly decided to terminate my adoption?”
