“What? Maya, aren’t you concerned that Mia might cause trouble at the wedding?”

Maya’s smile turned cold. “She wouldn’t dare. The engagement venue today bears her design. If

anything goes awry, it’s not just her career on the line; her entire studio will face the

consequences.”

“I see. By the way. Maya, how about having Mia assist with your wedding gown’s train? Let that bitch

witness the contrast between us.”

Shelly was now desperate to eliminate Mia.

Because of Mia, Shelly’s reputation had suffered a blow. Even though the Barrett family later clarified

that the video and photos were manipulated, those in the know were aware of her involvement.

It was all because of Mia!

Maya smirked. “Alright, let’s head downstairs. You can manage it on your own later. Just ensure it

doesn’t impact the engagement.”

“Maya, don’t worry. I’ll handle Mia without a hitch. You just sit back and enjoy the show.”

Upon hearing this, Maya’s smirk deepened.

Descending the stairs, she was taken aback to discover the main hall empty.

Where were Timothy and her brothers?

Sharon offered a reassuring smile, saying, “Maya, Tim and your brothers likely stepped out to discuss

matters. Let’s not worry about them for now.

“We should head directly to the engagement venue at the back.”

Maya forced a smile, entertaining the possibility that Sharon might be right.

Yet, an intense twitching in her eyelids persisted, and she couldn’t quite pinpoint the cause.

Upon Maya’s arrival at the engagement venue, Timothy and her brothers were nowhere to be found,

and panic began to set in.

Sensing Maya’s unease, Sharon commented, “Maya, I’ll call Tim to find out where they’ve gone.”

After Sharon’s departure, Maya turned to Felix, inquiring, “Has Ms. Bowen arrived?”

Approaching hesitantly, Felix spoke, “I’m sorry, Ms. Lane. She hasn’t arrived yet but should be on

her way.”

“On her way? Is this the level of professionalism in your studio, Mr. Quilter? Mia, the designated

designer, is conspicuously absent.

“How am I supposed to have confidence in your studio’s ability to deliver satisfactory results?”

“I apologize, Ms. Lane. I’ll contact Mia immediately.”

Felix promptly dialed Mia’s number, his expression turning uneasy. Eventually, he reluctantly informed,

“Ms. Lane, Mia’s phone is switched off.”

Shelly sneered, “Switched off? Could it be that Mia had no intention of coming and deliberately turned

off her phone to avoid being contacted? She certainly seems quite cunning.”

Maya’s mood soured even more. As she turned around, her brothers were nowhere to be found.

She quickly grabbed her phone and called Dominic, “Dominic, the engagement is about to begin.

Where are you guys?”

“We’re on our way.”

Dominic ended the call, exchanging glances with Nathan and Connor, stating, “Let’s go. There’s

no avoiding it anyway.”

Connor voiced his concerns. “Dominic, perhaps you should go. I could use a bit more rest. I’m feeling

anxious!”

What if Mia got upset and ignored him later?

“Don’t be absurd. Whatever comes our way, we face it together as brothers! A family stays united!”

Dominic led Nathan and Connor to the engagement venue, his expression resembling that of a soldier

marching into battle.

However, upon arrival, there was no trace of Mia.

Dominic searched around but couldn’t find her. Could it be that she wasn’t showin up?

Maya smiled and asked, “Dominic, who are you looking for?”

Swiftly changing the subject, Connor inquired, “The engagement is about to begin; where’s the

groom?”
