“Alright, that would be great.” Maya said with a cold tone, then turned and strode away.
Maya’s joy would be significantly diminished if Mia failed to attend her engagement ceremony
that day.
With all her brothers attending the event, it presented the ideal opportunity to showcase to Mia
the stark contrasts in their lives.
After a few paces, Maya instructed Blake, “Find out the reason behind Dominic’s sudden decision
to acquire Optima Construction.”
Blake took a moment to contemplate before responding. “It’s likely just a coincidence.
“Mr. Lane has indeed been planning to establish a branch in Bern City recently, and the
preparations are already in progress.”
Maya considered this explanation, finding it plausible.
Yet, a lingering sense of unease persisted, and she couldn’t quite pinpoint the cause. It all seemed
too coincidental.
Blake suggested, “In fact, this could work in our favor. Since the compensation money from the
demolition hasn’t arrived yet, there’s a lot we can leverage.”
Upon hearing this. Maya couldn’t help but smirk. “You’re right. Take care of this matter for me.
Maya was resolute in ensuring that Mia didn’t lead a comfortable life. She harbored a strong
desire for Mia to endure a lifetime of hardship, residing at the bottom as a destitute and wretched
soul.”
Just then, Maya received a phone call. Her expression brightened with excitement. “Dominic, have
you arrived? I’ll come out to greet you.”
Maya left the garden and headed straight to the front gate. A sleek black luxury car pulled up.
halting just outside the villa.
Observing the three men disembarking from the car, Maya’s excitement was evident. It was a rare
occasion for her to meet with her brothers.
She hadn’t anticipated all three of them attending her engagement. Their presence suggested

Maya’s eyes welled up with tears. “Dominic, Nathan, Connor, I’m so grateful you came for my

“Let’s take a moment to relax in the main hall first. The main ceremony will be held in the garden behind, and we’ll need to walk
there.”
Dominic nodded in response.
Upon entering the hall and taking a seat, he instructed Walter to bring out some documents. Maya, regarding the matter we
discussed earlier, have you given it some thought?”
Maya noticed the document titled: “Termination of Adoption Agreement“.
Her complexion instantly paled. She had hoped that by delaying the discussion, the issue would eventually fade away. After all,
Laura still needed her assistance, didn’t she?
Maya never anticipated Dominic presenting a physical document directly, and his demeanor was unusually resolute.
Wearing a pitiful expression, Maya pleaded, “Dominic, today is my engagement day. Do we have. to discuss this matter now?”
After the ceremony. Maya planned to return to Nord City. At that point, she would ensure her brothers witnessed how
indispensable she was to Laura.
Hopefully, this would make Dominic reconsider and spare her from signing the agreement.
Dominic narrowed his eyes slightly. “Maya, I made it clear to you last night. If you’re dissatisfied with the compensation terms,
feel free to suggest your own.”
Connor fixed his gaze on Maya. “But you’re marrying Timothy and assuming the role of the lady of the house, aren’t you?
“Financial concerns shouldn’t be an issue for you. After all, Dominic has been generous to you all these years!”
Maya forced a smile and replied, “I acknowledge Dominic’s kindness to me. That’s why I see myself as part of the Lane family.
But, getting married shouldn’t be a reason to cast me aside. right?”
She couldn’t fathom the reason for this sudden decision.
Considering his biological sister Mia, who had endured years of suffering, Dominic chose to sever Maya’s adoptive ties.
Otherwise, explaining things to Mia would be difficult if she saw them together here before knowing everything..

At the very least, he wanted Maya out of the Lane family before Mia discovered the truth.
Dominic handed the document to Maya. “Sign it.”
Maya scrutinized the document. “Dominic, could you tell me why you’ve suddenly decided to terminate my adoption?”
