Chapter 419

Maya stared at the building before her, the plano’s melody blending with other instruments, stirring a

deep–seated fear within her.

After deceiving her way into the Lane family, Maya often had nightmares of the day she would be

exposed–the true heiress found and brought back, while she was ruthlessly cast out, left to endure

extreme poverty once more.

A shadow cast over Maya’s eyes; she vowed never to return to such hardship!

Maya was determined to locate the true heiress before the Lane family did, regardless of the cost.

This was the only way Maya could safeguard her position, ensuring the real heiress would never have

the chance to return and replace her.

After a few minutes, the piano piece concluded.

Maya felt a cold sweat breaking out on her back; during this time, she hadn’t been able to sleep well.

She knew that if the Lanes discovered the true heiress before she did, it would mean the end for her.

After completing her piano practice in the classroom, Mia headed straight to the hall to check on the

setup.

Today was the day for the final touch–ups, so she needed to keep a close watch to ensure everything

was in order.

As she approached the hall, she noticed several people gathered there, including Riley.

Seeing Mia, Riley smiled and said, “I was just about to give you a call, but Mr. Shaw mentioned that

you were studying in the study hall and didn’t want to disturb you.”

Mia was a bit taken aback by the attention. “It’s not a big deal. You can always call me if you need

anything.”

“Well, it’s nothing major. We have some important guests coming to visit our venue later, and we need

someone to host them.

“Since you’re in charge of designing the hall for this event, having you there on–site would be

beneficial. In case the guests have any questions, you’ll be familiar with the situation.”

“Sure, no problem.”

As Mia walked in with Riley, she unexpectedly ran into Kennedy, who had just arrived.

“Mia, have you completed your tasks? Setting up the hall must have been quite exhausting. If you have

any specific requests regarding personnel arrangements, feel free to let me know at any time.”

Observing Kennedy’s politeness and enthusiasm, Mia couldn’t help but wonder if she was about to be

expelled from the university.

Mia mustered a polite yet awkward smile. “Mr. Shaw, the support from the university this time has been

more than sufficient. I don’t have any other requests at the moment.”

“That’s great. After the guests arrive later, Mia, I’ll need you to put in a good word for us.

“This will help ensure they leave with a positive impression of our university, which in turn will allow us

to secure more resources for new equipment and facilities.”

Mia nodded. “I understand.”

After inspecting the setup inside, she noticed a small mistake and instructed the workers to fix it.

Before long, Riley hurriedly approached Mia. “Mia, are you finished here?”

“I’m almost done. Have the guests arrived?”

As Mia followed Riley to the entrance, she spotted a group of people walking in. Among them was a

man dressed in a suit, looking sophisticated and refined. Wasn’t that Timothy?

Mia had been thinking about contacting Timothy, but he hadn’t been responding to her calls. To her

surprise, he was now at her university.

Could Timothy be avoiding Mia’s calls deliberately?

As Timothy was ushered into the hall, Mia’s gaze remained fixed on him. Sensing her stare, Timothy

turned his head and spotted Mia standing at the back of the crowd.

Almost instantly, everyone’s eyes followed Timothy’s gaze.

Kennedy quickly called out to Mia, “Why are you just standing there? Come over here quickly.”

Mia paused, taken aback. She hadn’t expected Timothy to be one of the distinguished guests visiting

that day. If she had known he was coming, she would have found an excuse to leave earlier.
