Chapter 447

Fear flooded Maya’s mind. Since Mia changed a lot in her adulthood, she looked different from her

childhood self.

Nonetheless, Maya could still recognize her eyes after some reminiscing. Her eyes still looked the

same as they had been since she was a child.

Why didn’t she notice this earlier? If the realization dawned on her earlier, she’d seize the chance.

to get rid of Mia! She wouldn’t allow her to come in contact with the Lanes.

Maya would be in a tight corner if Mia was the real daughter of the Lane family.

However, she found it strange that no one in the Lane family suspected Mia’s identity. Connor and

her other cousins had been in contact with her all this time. She felt suspicious.

Back when she was a child, she heard things regarding Mia’s family. She remembered Mia

mentioning her huge house and rich parents.

Did Mia never bring this up to the Lanes?

The more Maya pondered on this issue, her anxiety grew. She wouldn’t be able to sleep well

without demanding an explanation from Mia.

A girl came to Maya just then. With a servile expression, Hailee said, “Ms. Lane, thank you for

recommending me to join the audition for the musicians.

“I met Mr. Jenkin earlier, and he liked my performance.”

Maya flashed a faint smile at her. “Congrats.”

“Oh yeah, Ms. Lane, I have good news for you. I found the person playing the nursery rhyme.”

Maya wasn’t surprised. She already knew who it was. She snapped. “You don’t have to state the

obvious. She was literally performing on stage earlier. Didn’t you hear her?”

“Ms. Lane, you’re mistaken. Mia isn’t the one you’re looking for–it’s someone else.”

Maya’s eyes widened in shock. “What? Is it someone else?”

A surge of joy filled her chest. She’d be delighted if it wasn’t Mia. Anyone other than Mia she could

tolerate.

In a hushed tone, Hailee said, “Ms. Lane, I can bring you to her. The reason you haven’t been able

to find her is because she isn’t from the Music School. She’s from the Literature Department.

“Her name’s Dana McQueen, and she’s an orphan. Her studies have been supported by scholarships

and financial aid.”

“Where is she? Bring me to her now.”

Utterly bewildered, Maya felt an urgent need to identify who was the real daughter of the Lane family.

She saw Dana once she came outside.

She was dressed plainly, sporting a pair of black–rimmed glasses. Given her homely appearance.

she seemed to have no issues with blending in the crowd.

Maya knew Dana wasn’t the real daughter of the Lane family at first glance. She was too ordinary, and

she certainly didn’t look like a Lane.

In fact, Mia looked more convincing as the daughter of the Lane family. Nonetheless, Maya desperately

wished that Dana belonged to the Lane family.

Decisively, Maya spun around and looked at Hailee. “Thanks for helping me to find my childhood

friend. I need to talk to her in private now. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”

“No worries! It’s my honor to be at your service, Ms. Lane. I’ll excuse myself now.”

Dana sneaked a glance at Maya after Hailee left. Based on her expensive clothes and Hailee’s

servile attitude, she seemed like someone significant.

After all, it was rare for the usual arrogant Hailee to act in this manner.
