Maya was stunned from the slap. She stared at Dominic in disbelief, her eyes turning red.

“How could you, Dominic? How could you hit me for Mia’s sake?”

This was beyond her expectation.

With a grim expression, Dominic glared at Maya.

“Maya, how could you be so harsh despite being the daughter of the Lane family? Has all that you

learned in etiquette lessons throughout these years been in vain?”

Initially, he thought Maya found out about Mia’s identity. Yet, it turned out that she probably

misunderstood Mia’s relationship with Liam and Connor. Nonetheless, that didn’t justify her to speak

crassly about Mia.

Feeling wronged, Maya retorted in a strained voice, “I was just angry. Plus, I wasn’t even wrong.

“Shut up! You did something during the Fleur International Design Competition too, didn’t you? From

now onward, you’re not allowed to meddle with any of the Lane family business. If I find you doing

anything suspicious, I’ll terminate your credit card.”

“Dominic, you can’t do this to me,” she reached out to him.

Maya became extremely on edge when she realized her card was about to be terminated. If she was

no longer rich, her status would be meaningless.

Dominic wrenched his hand away from her as he snapped, “Maya, you should’ve known what my limits

are. I will not tolerate you constantly sabotaging our work.”

“Dominic, I’m sorry. Please forgive me this time.”

As he handed the document over to her, he stated, “I’ll give you a week to consider. If you have any

demands, speak up. I will fulfill them as long as they’re reasonable.”

A hint of scorn flickered across Maya’s eyes when she looked at the document. She and left the office.

Her grip on the documents tightened as she stepped into the elevator.

Blake asked, “Ms. Lane, what’s wrong?”

“Hmph, the Lanes used me to take care of that crazy old hag for so many years. Now that I’m useless,

they’re going to get rid of me and kick me out of the family. But I won’t let them have their

Maya wiped the tears off her face. She wouldn’t leave the Lane family easily.

Mia was a seductress indeed. Now that she had Connor in her hands, even Dominic had started to

defend her.

Meanwhile, Mia originally planned to leave the office building. After all, they had just caused a huge

scene. Since someone ‘important‘ like Maya was present at Vista Properties, it would be best for her to

avoid causing Nathan any trouble.

Just then, Derek hurried toward her.

“Ms. Bowen, regarding the demolition payment, I’ve realized that the finance department has made a

mistake after investigating. The money has been transferred to your account now. I sincerely apologize

for overlooking this issue.”

Mia knew he was in charge of the demolition program. She searched up his profile in the company’s

system, and she saw his picture.

Well, it seemed like her method earlier worked.

Nonetheless, she pretended to keep her cool as she replied coldly, “Let me make a call and check.”

“Sure, no problem.”

She turned around and called Patricia.

“Aunt Patricia, did you receive a text notification saying that a fund has been transferred to your

account?”

“Let me check. Oh, yes. It was transferred just now. How did you manage that, Mia?”

“I came to look for their person–in–charge. After investigating, they realized that the finance department

had made a mistake. Everything has been resolved now.”
