Chapter 540 Mia fell silent for a moment. Was this the power of wealth? Recalling Dana’s disciplinary notice. Mia couldn't resist inquiring. “Liam. | stumbled upon Dana’s disciplinary report today. What about Maya? Have there been any updates regarding her?” These days, everyone seemed to be implicitly avoiding any mention of Maya.
Liam responded casually. “The Barretts are pressing charges against Maya for assault. Jason insisted on it, so Maya remains in custody. We'll have to wait for the trial. She won't be released anytsoon.” A hint of resentment flickered in Liam's gaze.
It was clear that Maya had been orchestrating trouble from the beginning, purposefully keeping Mia’s whereabouts hidden, which resulted in the Lane family taking years to locate Mia.
However, simply locking her up and pressing charges felt too forgiving for Maya's actions.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf they were in Nord City, Liam definitely wouldn't let Maya off the hook so easily.
“I remember Maya mentioning that she’s made significant contributions to the Lane family over the years. What exactly has she done?” “Well, you shouldn't take Maya's words too seriously. She believes looking after Grandma is challenging.
but all she does is keep her company.
“With numerous maids at her disposal, Maya hardly needs to lift a finger. If it weren't for Grandma, would Maya have returned to our family to live as a heiress? px | just a greedy opportunist!” Lowering her gaze, Mia inquired, “How is Grandma's health holding up?” “It’s not great, mainly because past events have taken a toll on her mentally. It's left her emotionally scarred, and that’s not something surgery can fix.
“Mia, once everything here is resolved, let's return to Nord City together and visit Grandma.” “Okay.” Mia took a deep breath, stealing a glance at the passing scenery outside.
Her resit exams were scheduled for the following week, and by the end of the month, she would officially graduate.
It was tto begin working on her thesis. Indeed, everything seemed to be approaching quickly.
Upon arriving hthat evening. Mia was surprised to find only Patricia present. “Where is everyone else?” she asked, puzzled.
“Well, Aunt Karen had urgent family matters to attend to. And Grandma Edna mentioned she would be back for the next doctor's appointment, so they both left in a hurry.
“I didn’t try to convince them to stay.” Patricia explained.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMia snorted dismissively. “They're probably afraid I'll ask them for money, which is why they left so abruptly!” But perhaps it was for the best that they departed to prevent any potential conflict.
Later that evening, the entire family gathered for dinner. Mia couldn't resist mentioning her plans to attend her class reunion the following night.
Her brothers immediately turned to her, their expressions wary. “We'll accompany you!” Mia couldn't help but feel exasperated. “It’s alright. I'll be attending with Gina.” She knew that if all six of her brothers tagged along, they would inevitably steal the spotlight at the reunion.
After all, Mia had hopes of setting up Gina and Taylor.
Dominic spoke sincerely. “Mia, usually these class reunions revolve around flaunting and comparison. If you attend alone, I'm concerned you might get bullied.” “Don’t worry. I'll be fine. After all, I'm now the heiress of the Lane family. Who would dare to challenge me?” The next morning, as Mia got ready to leave, Eva pulled her aside. “Mia, are you planning to wear that outfit today? What about the clothes and dresses | bought for you last time?” “Well, | just grabbed a random outfit this morning. Plus, | won't be the main focus at today’s reunion, so why make a big deal out of it?” “No, that won't do. Appearance means everything at these reunions. Hurry up and change into something else!” Eva insisted.
With a resigned expression, Mia changed into another outfit before heading out.
However, she opted for something subtle and understated, without any prominent brand logos.
At that moment, a message appeared in the class reunion group chat. “We'll be having dinner at a five- star restaurant tonight, and Jeremy is treating everyone.”
