Chapter 540
Mia fell silent for a moment. Was this the power of wealth?
Recalling Dana’s disciplinary notice. Mia couldn't resist inquiring. “Liam. I
stumbled upon Dana's disciplinary report today. What about Maya? Have there
been any updates regarding her?”
These days, everyone seemed to be implicitly avoiding any mention of Maya.
Liam responded casually. “The Barretts are pressing charges against Maya for
assault. Jason insisted on it, so Maya remains in custody. We'll have to wait for
the trial. She won't be released anytime soon.”
A hint of resentment flickered in Liam’s gaze.
It was clear that Maya had been orchestrating trouble from the beginning,
purposefully keeping Mia's whereabouts hidden, which resulted in the Lane
family taking years to locate Mia.
However, simply locking her up and pressing charges felt too forgiving for Maya's
actions.
If they were in Nord City, Liam definitely wouldn’t let Maya off the hook so easily.
“I remember Maya mentioning that she’s made significant contributions to the
Lane family over the years. What exactly has she done?”
“Well, you shouldn't take Maya’s words too seriously. She believes looking after
Grandma is challenging. but all she does is keep her company.
“With numerous maids at her disposal, Maya hardly needs to lift a finger. If it
weren't for Grandma, would
Maya have returned to our family to live as a heiress? She's just a greedy
opportunist!”
Lowering her gaze, Mia inquired, “How is Grandma's health holding up?”
“It's not great, mainly because past events have taken a toll on her mentally. It's
left her emotionally scarred, and that’s not something surgery can fix.
“Mia, once everything here is resolved, let's return to Nord City together and visit
Grandma.”
“Okay.” Mia took a deep breath, stealing a glance at the passing scenery outside.
Her resit exams were scheduled for the following week, and by the end of the
month, she would officially graduate.
It was time to begin working on her thesis. Indeed, everything seemed to be
approaching quickly.
Upon arriving home that evening. Mia was surprised to find only Patricia present.
“Where is everyone else?” she asked, puzzled.
“Well, Aunt Karen had urgent family matters to attend to. And Grandma Edna
mentioned she would be back for the next doctor's appointment, so they both left
in a hurry.
“I didn’t try to convince them to stay.” Patricia explained.
Mia snorted dismissively. “They're probably afraid I'll ask them for money, which
is why they left so abruptly!”
But perhaps it was for the best that they departed to prevent any potential
conflict.
Later that evening, the entire family gathered for dinner. Mia couldn't resist
mentioning her plans to attend her class reunion the following night.
Her brothers immediately turned to her, their expressions wary. “We'll accompany
you!”
Mia couldn't help but feel exasperated. “It's alright. I'll be attending with Gina.”
She knew that if all six of her brothers tagged along, they would inevitably steal
the spotlight at the reunion.
After all, Mia had hopes of setting up Gina and Taylor.

“Well, I just grabbed a random outfit this morning. Plus, I won't be the main focus
at today’s reunion, so why make a big deal out of it?”
“No, that won't do. Appearance means everything at these reunions. Hurry up
and change into something else!” Eva insisted.
With a resigned expression, Mia changed into another outfit before heading out.
However, she opted for something subtle and understated, without any prominent
brand logos.
