Chapter 467

Upon hearing Maya’s words, Connor’s expression grew uneasy. Could it be that Maya was aware of

Mia’s true identity?

However, it didn’t make sense. If Maya truly knew who Mia was, her reaction wouldn’t be like this.

Connor quickly composed himself. “Is that so? Did you recall some clues from the orphanage that you

hadn’t remembered before?”

Maya’s expression appeared somewhat awkward.

“Yes, it suddenly dawned on me recently. I bumped into her on campus, and because we used to be

close friends, I immediately felt a sense of familiarity when I saw her.

“It wasn’t until yesterday that I realized she might be the person you’ve been searching for.”

“Why didn’t you inform us yesterday then?”

Connor’s gaze held a trace of scrutiny as Maya replied calmly, “There have been numerous false

alarms

over the years, and I didn’t want to disappoint you again.

“So, I discreetly arranged for someone to investigate and confirm her identity before telling you this

good

news.”

Observing Maya’s assured demeanor, Connor persisted, “Who is this person you’ve found?”

“Her name is Dana McQueen, a student in the Literature Department. We were both raised in the same

orphanage. It wasn’t until we talked about our childhood that I recognized her.”

Connor acknowledged with a nod. “I’ll conduct a thorough investigation.”

“In that case, I’ll reach out to Dominic right away and inform him of this wonderful news.

“Both he and Nathan should come over as well. It’s a great opportunity for them to connect with their

long -lost relative.”

Connor’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of coldness gleaming. “Sure,” he replied.

Observing Connor’s compliance, Maya’s spirits lifted.

“By the way, Connor, there was a music event in the university hall yesterday, and I couldn’t help but

notice Mia and Claude getting quite friendly. When did she become so close to our family?”

Sensing her probing, Connor responded calmly, “I can’t explain it, but I feel a strong bond with Mia

whenever I’m around her, almost like she’s a little sister to me. I believe Claude feels the same way.”

Upon hearing his explanation, Maya’s smile faltered momentarily. “I get it! But now that I’ve found your

real sister, you don’t need a substitute anymore.”

Connor’s gaze deepened as he replied, “You’re right. With the discovery of my biological sister, there’s

no

longer a need for a stand–in.”

“Very well, Connor, you carry on. I won’t disturb you any further.”

As Maya departed, a triumphant grin crossed her face. With Dana assuming Mia’s identity, her position

as the heiress would be assured.

Indeed, Dana’s vanity knew no bounds. If she could assume her best friend’s identity, what else was

beyond her reach?

However, that wasn’t sufficient; Mia needed to be entirely neutralized as a threat!

As long as Mia was eliminated, she wouldn’t pose a risk to Maya’s status.

Exiting the building, Maya approached Blake and asked, “Since you’ve been digging into Mia’s

background, have you found any useful information?”

“I have indeed discovered something: Mia is, in fact, pregnant. These are the prenatal check–up

records

from this hospital, although they’re not registered under Mia’s name.

“Nonetheless, through my inquiries and investigations during this time frame, it’s been confirmed that

Mia attended these appointments.”

Maya’s expression tightened. “She’s really pregnant? Who’s the father?”

“I’m not sure about the baby’s paternity. However, Mr. Connor has been involved in hiding Mia’s

pregnancy and is also accountable for fabricating her false identity.”

Upon learning about Mia’s pregnancy, Maya couldn’t contain her agitation.

If Maya had been informed earlier, she might have suspected that the child was Connor’s. Yet now, she

couldn’t shake the notion that the child belonged to Timothy!

Given the timing of Mia’s pregnancy and her intimate encounter with Timothy, everything seemed to

add up perfectly!
