Chapter 528
Edna quickly feigned discomfort, claiming. “My leg is acting up again. It must be
my old ailment
resurfacing.”
“Mom, you can sleep in my room.” Patricia offered, unwilling to leave Edna to
sleep uncomfortably in the
living room.
In the end, Mia had no choice but to let Patricia share her room, while Edna and
Karen occupied
Patricia's room.
As Mia completed her bedtime routine and settled into bed, she couldn't shake
the surreal feeling of the
day, as if it were a dream.
It was almost unbelievable that she had truly become the legitimate heiress of
the Lane family!
However, Mia decided not to inform Patricia about this just yet, concerned that
Edna and Karen might
fake knowledge of the situation.
It seemed wiser to wait until she traveled to Nord City with her brothers before
divulging the news to
Patricia.
A gentle smile adorned Mia's lips as a wave of relief swept over her. Could this
be the dawn of her
newfound freedom as a carefree heiress?
In the morning, Mia swiftly finished her breakfast and made her way to campus,
keen to avoid any
encounters with Edna and Karen at home.
As she approached the entrance of her neighborhood, she noticed Connor
waiting for her outside.
“How was your sleep last night?” Connor inquired.
“Fine,” Mia responded.
“It might be wise for you to find another place to stay for now. With Edna and
Karen around, I'm
concerned about your well-being, especially considering your pregnancy.
“If anything were to happen to you, I wouldn't know how to face Dominic,” Connor
added earnestly.
Mia foll silent for a moment. “I understand. I'll have a conversation with Aunt
Patricia about finding another place to stay. Plus, once my exams are finished, I'll
be able to leave.”
“Mia, when do you intend to tell Dominic about your pregnancy?” Connor asked.
Mia hesitated for a moment before replying. “What do you think?”
Connor’s expression grew uneasy. “Maybe it's best to hold off until we're back in
Nord City to bring it up.
You know how Dominic reacted last time when I kept Timothy's relationship with
you a secret,” Connor suggested.
“Thank you, Connor, for everything you've done for me. I honestly don’t think I'd
have made it this far without your support,” Mia expressed her gratitude.
“Don’t worry about it. You're my sister. I've got your back,” Connor reassured Mia.
As Mia sat in Connor’s car on the way to campus, she suddenly remembered
something. “By the way.
what are you planning to do about Maya?”
“That crazy woman? We'll just hand her over to the police. The Barretts will also
have to take
responsibility. This will be a legal nightmare for Maya.”
Mia acknowledged with a nod, yet she couldn't shake the overwhelming feeling
brought on by the sudden
shift in her newfound identity.
“Mia, please don’t sympathize with Maya. She's lived a comfortable life as the
Lane family heiress all
these years, which was far more than she deserves.

“At that time, you were the only one who knew how to play it. So, Maya used that

but Dana stole it from you.”
“Oh, I recall now. I did teach Dana how to play that piano plece during that time. I
didn't anticipate it
would lead to this.” Mia confessed.
Indeed, the frailty of human hearts became apparent when confronted with
temptation.
As Mia entered the university, a heavy weight settled in her chest. She struggled
to comprehend why
Dana would want to replace her.
Sitting in the study hall, Mia couldn't help but notice the numerous glances

Mia felt uneasy under the scrutiny.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated with a message: “Come downstairs!”
It was from Timothy.
Mia headed to the corridor and glimpsed at a car parked below. It seemed
Timothy had indeed arrived.
“Either you come down, or I'll come up.”
