Chapter 447
Fear flooded Maya’s mind. Since Mia changed a lot in her adulthood, she looked different from her childhood self.
Nonetheless, Maya could still recognize her eyes after some reminiscing. Her eyes still looked the same as they had been since
she was a child.
Why didn’t she notice this earlier? If the realization dawned on her earlier, she’d seize the chance. to get rid of Mia! She wouldn’t
allow her to come in contact with the Lanes.
Maya would be in a tight corner if Mia was the real daughter of the Lane family.
However, she found it strange that no one in the Lane family suspected Mia’s identity. Connor and her other cousins had been in
contact with her all this time. She felt suspicious.
Back when she was a child, she heard things regarding Mia’s family. She remembered Mia mentioning her huge house and rich
parents.
Did Mia never bring this up to the Lanes?
The more Maya pondered on this issue, her anxiety grew. She wouldn’t be able to sleep well without demanding an explanation
from Mia.
A girl came to Maya just then. With a servile expression, Hailee said, “Ms. Lane, thank you for recommending me to join the
audition for the musicians.
“I met Mr. Jenkin earlier, and he liked my performance.”
Maya flashed a faint smile at her. “Congrats.”
“Oh yeah, Ms. Lane, I have good news for you. I found the person playing the nursery rhyme.”
Maya wasn’t surprised. She already knew who it was. She snapped. “You don’t have to state the obvious. She was literally
performing on stage earlier. Didn’t you hear her?”
“Ms. Lane, you’re mistaken. Mia isn’t the one you’re looking for–it’s someone else.”
Maya’s eyes widened in shock. “What? Is it someone else?”
A surge of joy filled her chest. She’d be delighted if it wasn’t Mia. Anyone other than Mia she could tolerate.
In a hushed tone, Hailee said, “Ms. Lane, I can bring you to her. The reason you haven’t been able to find her is because she
isn’t from the Music School. She’s from the Literature Department.
“Her name’s Dana McQueen, and she’s an orphan. Her studies have been supported by scholarships and financial aid.”
“Where is she? Bring me to her now.”
Utterly bewildered, Maya felt an urgent need to identify who was the real daughter of the Lane family. She saw Dana once she
came outside.
She was dressed plainly, sporting a pair of black–rimmed glasses. Given her homely appearance. she seemed to have no issues
with blending in the crowd.
Maya knew Dana wasn’t the real daughter of the Lane family at first glance. She was too ordinary, and she certainly didn’t look
like a Lane.
In fact, Mia looked more convincing as the daughter of the Lane family. Nonetheless, Maya desperately wished that Dana
belonged to the Lane family.
Decisively, Maya spun around and looked at Hailee. “Thanks for helping me to find my childhood friend. I need to talk to her in
private now. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”
“No worries! It’s my honor to be at your service, Ms. Lane. I’ll excuse myself now.”
Dana sneaked a glance at Maya after Hailee left. Based on her expensive clothes and Hailee’s servile attitude, she seemed like
someone significant.
After all, it was rare for the usual arrogant Hailee to act in this manner.
