Chapter 519

The Lane brothers looked intimidating when they rose in unison.

Layla’s expression shifted in an instant. A hint of confusion flickered across her eyes. Weren’t these

men

Maya’s brothers? Nonetheless, she saw no sign of her and Mia took her seat instead.

This was strange.

Kennedy immediately sensed that something was wrong. He wanted to mention that Mia was Timothy’s

wife and she was certainly well off, but he bit his tongue when he met the Lanes‘ glare. Zipping his

mouth shut, he thought the Lanes were truly formidable.

“Mia, pass me the mic.” Mia glanced at Dominic and did as he said. He took the microphone and stared

at Layla.

“We gave her the money as her family because we thought it’d be nice of her to contribute something

significant to the society.”

“F–Family? Aren’t y’all Maya’s brothers?”

Dominic’s gaze swept past the hall as he said, “Since Mia’s classmates are here as well, there’s no

need

to keep this a secret. Actually, Maya was adopted. The biological daughter of the Lane family had been

missing for years, and we finally found her recently.”

Everyone was shell shocked as they stared at Mia in disbelief. What Dominic said was pretty obvious.

Still planted on the same spot, Mia sighed. It seemed like it was impossible for her to keep a low profile

now.

Literally every soul in the hall spiraled in shock, including Kennedy who was on the stage. The

microphone in his hand almost dropped as he realized Mia was the daughter of the Lanes. But she was

Timothy’s wife as well!

Fate truly favored her.

Mia flashed an awkward, yet courteous smile. Glancing up at Layla, she noticed her expression turned

sour. She bet Layla didn’t expect Maya to be adopted. Layla had been eager to cause her trouble to

please Maya, after all.

Just then, Claude took over the microphone as he fixed his gaze on Layla. “I remember you. You joined

the audition for the orchestra, and your performance was remarkable. It seems like your offer letter is

on

the way.

Layla seemed uneasy as she replied hastily, “Y–Yeah. Thanks for the compliment, Mr. Lane.”

“Don’t thank me, because your offer letter is officially terminated now!”

“Why?” Layla looked like someone had punched the living daylights out of her. She instinctively

chanced a glance at Mia as she bit her lip in defiance. “It was a misunderstanding, and I wasn’t aware

that Maya was adopted. Isn’t it unfair to terminate my offer letter just because of a misunderstanding?”

Claude was unfazed. “Are you justifying the fact that you can insult Mla because you weren’t aware

that she’s the daughter of the Lane family? The orchestra doesn’t need a two–faced and immoral

person like

you.”

Jason chimed in, “According to the rumors you spread earlier, you’ve harmed Mia’s reputation. If any of

these rumors begins to circulate, you will be held legally responsible for that.”

In an instant, Layla plopped to the ground in shock. She was petrified by the huge trouble she got

herself into. She meant to please Maya, but little did she expect Mia to be the actual daughter of the

Lanes.
