Chapter 582

Patricia nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. “Thank you.”

“That’s our line. Thank you for being willing to come to Nord City with us so that Mia won’t be that

lonely.

Dominic felt grateful.

Looking at her six brothers, Mia couldn’t hide the blissful smile beaming across her face.

The next morning, Eva took Mia out after breakfast.

“Mia, I’ve made an appointment with a makeup artist and a hairdresser from Vior. You’re going to be

the belle of the ball tonight.”

Mia said helplessly. “Eva, I’m only going to congratulate Mrs. Barrett Senior on her recovery, not

participating in a beauty pageant.”

“You can’t say that. After all, you’re joining the party as Ms. Lane. Make them regret disrespecting you

in

the past.”

Dominis nodded. “Eva’s right.”

Mia followed her family to the top floor of the mall. Claude and Liam came along as well.

As soon as they left the elevator, there was a strong smell of perfume and she covered her nose

subconsciously.

When she looked up, there stood Shelly and her minion. Just as she had expected.

Ever since Mia was revealed to be the true Ms. Lane on campus that day, Shelly and Sharon never

showed up in front of Mia anymore.

It was as though they had vanished into thin air.

Mia didn’t think about them anyway, but she didn’t expect to run into Shelly here.

The atmosphere turned awkward instantly.

Shelly looked surprised to see Mia. Her guilty conscience was ringing in her head too.

But that didn’t stop her heart from racing the moment she saw the two gorgeous–looking men beside

Mia.

Previously, Shelly dreamt of marrying anyone among the Lane brothers since all of them were

handsome.

However, it was later revealed that Maya was a fake Ms. Lane. Mia was the real Ms. Lane instead.

A long time had passed since that reveal, yet Shelly still couldn’t accept reality.

After all, Shelly had always looked down on Mia. Now that Mia had become rich and was living a more

luxurious life than her, she couldn’t accept the difference.

Eva spoke up first. “Oh my, isn’t this Ms. Barrett? Are you here for your makeover too?”

Shelly lit up as she answered proudly, “Y–Yeah! Timothy made an appointment here specially for our

family.”

“Specially? What are the odds? We made an appointment with the makeup artist and the hairdresser

here as well. Who says that they’re here for your special service?”

Claude glared at her. “How dare he try to steal the stylists from us!”

Liam snorted coldly. “I know the employees here. We booked an appointment first. If he wants to cut in

line, he must seek our permission first.”

Despite their steely expression, Shelly was captivated by their looks.

She tried to put in good words with Mia. “It’s not a big deal. We can do it together. Mia, you can go first.

I’m not in a rush.”

The way Shelly acted reminded Mia of the time Shelly treated Maya. It was exactly the same.

Mia arched her brow. “Ms. Barrett, we’re not that close. Please address me properly.” How dare Shelly

call her by her first name.
