Timothy left right away.

Claude was infuriated. This was the first for him to encounter that level of arrogance. If it weren’t forMia, he would’ve dealt with him on his own.

Maya’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Timothy. Nonetheless, it was crucial to discover Mia’sidentity and to know whether the Lane family was aware of her identity.

Dashing after Claude, she groveled, “Mr. Lane, you’re seemingly close with Mia. In fact, she’s quiteclose with Connor as well.”

Claude halted his steps. Dropping his gaze, he asked, “What are you implying?”

“N–Nothing, I’m just curious. Don’t you all reside in Nord City? When did you get close to Mia? How didyou guys meet?”

It dawned on Claude that Maya began to suspect something. He recalled the prelude of the piano pieceearlier, which was also the tune Mia learned back at the orphanage when she was young.

Since Maya was from the same orphanage, he wouldn’t be surprised if the piece sounded familiar toher. But did she begin to doubt her identity?

Nonetheless, Claude had always thought it was strange for Dominic to bring Maya back from theorphanage instead of Mia.

He never managed to locate any evidence, so his chance to probe into this appeared before him now.

Raising his brows, he retorted, “This has nothing to do with you, isn’t it?”

Maya forced a smile. “Actually, I noticed that Mia was very close with Connor, and there seemed to besomething going in between them. However, it seems like he’d been dating a singer lately.

“To put it simply, I don’t think Mia’s the right match for Connor. She’s divorced, and her status is farbelow Connor’s. I figured I should’ve talked her out of this and get her to stop being delusional.”

Claude sneered, “You’re one to talk about status, Maya. Have you forgotten that you were an orphan,and you’re adopted into the Lane family?

“It’s not like you have a high status either. Did you have an identity crisis because you’re too used tofaking one?”

Maya’s expression changed drastically. She had been leading a smooth life over these years, and shewas gladly convinced that she was the real daughter of the Lane family.

Now that the real daughter of the Lane family had shown up, she couldn’t tolerate it. It was even moreunacceptable for her when she realized Mia, the woman she resented most, was actually the realdaughter of the Lane family.

Claude spotted the shift in her expression. She must’ve suspected something from the piece earlier,resulting in her probing into his relationship with Mia.

Nevertheless, Maya was quick to regain her composure. “You’ve misunderstood. I’m just asking out ofcuriosity. Why are you overreacting like I’ve done something to Mia? But does Connor know you’re veryclose with her?”

He snorted, “Why should I tell Connor about the woman I’m close with? Plus, isn’t Connor dating asinger lately?”

Claude tried to confuse Maya. He wanted to investigate how the

misunderstanding took place. If it weren’t for Mia losing her memory due to her sickness, Mayawould’ve been exposed long ago.

As Maya watched Claude leave, she struggled to remain calm. Her mind was swirling with the memoryof Mia playing the piece earlier.

She had never been that flustered. Why did it have to be Mia of all people?
