Dominic yelled at Timothy in a fit of rage, asking. “What’s with that look in your eyes?”

Timothy offered no response. Instead, he turned away and hastily exited the main hall, his steps.

disjointed and awkward.

Watching Timothy’s retreating figure, Connor couldn’t help but notice the peculiarity in Timothy’s

reaction

Had Connor overlooked a crucial detail?

In that tense moment, Nathan brought to Dominic’s attention. “Dominic, it appears that Maya has lied

once again.”

Pausing for a moment, Connor remarked, “I never expected Maya to boldly fabricate such things to

Timothy. This isn’t the first time she’s shamelessly lied!”

Timothy’s earlier response hinted at a consistent pattern of dishonesty from Maya toward the Barrett

family.

Now, Connor found himself pondering whether Timothy genuinely harbored feelings for Maya.

Rubbing his temples, Dominic asserted. “I’m aware. I’ll resolve Maya’s identity issue before Mia

returns. I won’t allow any injustice to befall Mia.”

Nathan chimed in. “Mia is the designer for this engagement ceremony, and she should be arriving

soon. We need to figure out how to explain things to her.”

Connor’s mouth twitched as he remarked, “Navigating this situation is indeed quite complex. Dominic,

as the eldest, it falls on you to handle this. You got this!”

Dominic frowned, countering. “I’ve noticed Mia has a good relationship with you. Why don’t you take

the lead in explaining?”

Despite their seasoned experiences in navigating life’s challenges, the three brothers found themselves

hesitating in the face of this unexpected situation.

Exchanging glances, they all wished they could simply fade into a corner. How were they supposed to

explain this to Mia?

Meanwhile,

in the upstairs dressing room, Maya had slipped into a radiant white wedding gown.

As she admired herself in the mirror, a smug expression adorned her face. The day she had waited for

so long had finally arrived.

In Maya’s mind, getting engaged to Timothy meant she was now the rightful Mrs. Barrett, and there

would be no place for Mia in the Barrett family.

Standing beside her, Shelly couldn’t help but compliment, “Maya, you look stunning today.”

“Thank you. After all, every girl looks her most beautiful in a wedding gown. Your turn will come in the

future.” Maya replied.

Shelly rolled her eyes and inquired eagerly. “Maya, does Nathan have a girlfriend?”

Upon recent investigation, she discovered that Nathan was a rising star in the tech industry.

showcasing boundless potential.

This revelation was a decisive factor in her preference for Nathan, the owner of his own company. over

Connor, who was a doctor.

Raising an eyebrow, Maya commented, “From what I’ve gathered, he probably doesn’t have a

girlfriend. After all, Nathan is a workaholic. He’s usually very busy.”

“Maya, as we’re on the verge of becoming family, wouldn’t it be wonderful for us to grow closer?

Perhaps you could arrange for me to meet Nathan at some point.”

Maya sensed Shelly’s intentions and found them audacious, questioning whether Shelly was truly

deserving of someone like Nathan.

Despite harboring inner disdain, Maya concealed it and replied with a smile, “I’ll be happy to arrange an

introduction after my engagement.”

“Mayȧ, thank you–or no, I should be regarding you as my sister–in–law now, right?”

With a subtle satisfaction, Maya smiled and added, “By the way, Shelly, are you aware of the issues

surrounding the demolition at Mia’s old neighborhood?”

“Please, don’t even mention it. Because of that incident, I almost incurred my mom’s wrath. I’ve been

confined to my home and am not allowed to venture outside.

“It took a considerable amount of pleading, but today I finally managed to convince my mom to let me

attend your engagement ceremony.

“She’s quite superstitious, thinking I should stay indoors for a few days to ward off negative energy,

which is also the reason she couldn’t make it today.”

Maya reassured her, saying, “It’s understandable. Your mom is just concerned about your well-
