Chapter 480

Dominic maintained his composure as he looked at Maya. “Where is this supposed‘ heiress‘ you’ve

found?”

“She’s at my place. I can take you there right away,” Maya responded eagerly.

However, despite her enthusiasm, a shadow seemed to linger in her eyes as she led Dominic and the

others out of the airport.

Eventually, they went their separate ways, each departing in their respective vehicles.

Eva glanced worriedly at Dominic. “I can’t shake the feeling that Maya has ulterior motives,” she

remarked.

“Whatever Maya’s intentions may be, we’ll uncover them once we arrive,” Dominic asserted.

“It’s a shame that Mia has lost most of her childhood memories. If only she hadn’t, she might be able to

remember

what Maya did in the past, which hindered us from finding her,” Eva lamented.

Dominic furrowed his brow. He deeply regretted bringing Maya back from the orphanage.

Shortly afterward, they reached Maya’s residence.

Blake rushed over with urgency. “Ms. Lane, Dana is nowhere to be found.”

Maya’s complexion paled. “How could that happen? Search every corner!” she

instructed.

“We’ve looked everywhere, but there’s no sign of her.”

Maya took out her phone to call Dana but instead saw a WhatsApp message from her: “Ms. Lane, if

you’d like my

assistance, could you help me resolve my expulsion from the university? Being kicked out is something

I simply cannot afford.”

Frantically, Maya dialed Dana’s number,

only to find it ringing continuously with

no answer.

As Dominic and the others exited the car, he spoke up coldly, “Where is she?”

Maya forced a smile. “Dominic, Dana is just struggling to come to terms with things right now. She

mentioned needing some time to herself to calm down. But don’t worry, I’ll track her down,” she

assured him.

Dominic’s patience had worn thin.

He tossed a signed document toward Maya. “Maya, this is a termination agreement. Whether you

choose to sign it or not, your citizenship and residency have been transferred to Bern City effective

today.”

Maya was taken aback, and she swiftly caught up.

“Dominic, just because you’ve found your biological sister, does that mean you’re going to cast me

aside? I played a role in finding her too, you know!” she

protested.

Eva intercepted Maya, her tone resolute. You don’t need to continue searching. We’ll locate her

ourselves,” she declared firmly.

Maya watched helplessly as Dominic’s car drove away. She turned to Blake. “We have to find Dana

before they do, or they’ll definitely extract information about Mia from her!”

Maya was determined not to allow Mia to return to the Lane family and strip her of everything she had!

Upon returning home in the evening, Mia was greeted by the sight of all six of her brothers gathered in

the living room.

The space, already modest in size, felt especially cramped with everyone present.

Mia’s surprise was evident. “Wasn’t your flight scheduled for tomorrow?”

Dominic replied warmly, “I managed to wrap up my work ahead of schedule, so I

thought I’d come by early.”

Their original plan had been to address. Maya’s situation earlier in the afternoon.

However, upon realizing that the impostor Maya had arranged wasn’t present, Dominic couldn’t be

bothered to continue the charade with Maya.

Eva reached out and took Mia’s hand

tenderly.

“Mia, we’ve heard about the graduation ceremony banquet before your exams. As your family, we’ll all

be there to celebrate with you.”

Liam rested his chin on his hand, jesting, “Mia, why didn’t you tell us about such an important event

sooner?”

Mia’s voice carried a hint of emotion as

she replied, “I thought you all had work commitments, and the flight from Nord City to Bern City is quite

lengthy. I didn’t want to inconvenience you with the back- and–forth traveling.”

Still, who wouldn’t want their family to

be present for such a significant occasion?

It was akin to yearning for parents to attend a parent–teacher conference during childhood.

Eva gently held Mia’s hand. “Mia, this time we’ve come to personally escort you back to Nord City, and

we have a special gift arranged for you at the banquet.”

At the event, they planned to reveal Mia’s true identity!

Mia was, in fact, the esteemed heiress of the Lane family from Nord City!
