Connor frowned as he looked at the bedroom. Then, he walked to the balcony to answer his phone.
When the phone call connected, he immediately said, “If this is about the Barrett family, then don’t bother
calling me.”
“Connor!” Maya exclaimed as she was extremely anxious. She said, “I really like Timothy, and I want to marry
him.”
“But Timothy is married. Do you want to be the third wheel in his relationship with Mia?”
“Connor, I’ve already told you that Timothy will divorce Mia. He married her out of necessity, not because he liked her. Besides,
she comes from a poor family and is not worthy of marrying into the Barrett family. Timothy
and Mia don’t belong in the same world.” (1
Connor frowned and said, “Have you forgotten that you were also adopted from an orphanage?”
Maya’s face turned pale upon hearing Connor’s words. She replied. “But I’m not the same as that woman. I belong to the Lane
family legally. Connor, you have been good to me all these years, and I’ve always been
obedient to you. Please, I just need you to help me with this once.”

Connor rubbed his temples and said, “I will help you with anything, but not on this matter. You’d better keep
your distance from the Barrett family.”
He couldn’t forgive the Barrett family for making Mia work as their caregiver. If Maya married into the Barrett family, there would
be frequent interactions between the two families. The Barretts would undoubtedly speak ill of Mia, and that was something he
wouldn’t allow to happen.
Connor wanted to protect Mia from harm now that he knew the truth. Besides, what was so good about Timothy? He was a
married man.
Connor didn’t give Maya a chance to continue speaking and hung up the phone.
...
On the other end of the line, Maya’s expression turned livid. She was angry because Connor mentioned that she was also
adopted, thus implying that she was the same as Mia!
Maya was furious. She proceeded to destroy everything in the room. Only then did she calm down.
With an ice-cold expression, Maya said, “I’m not the same as Mia.”
Even if she was adopted, she was still legally a member of the Lane family. Mia was nothing but a poor girl
from the slums.
Maya’s assistant cautiously said, “How do you plan to explain the situation to Mr. Barrett if your brother doesn’t agree to carry out
the surgery? If Mr. Barrett found out...”

“Timothy will not find out about this. I’ll find a way to make Connor agree to my demands. At worst, I’ll have Grandma Laura step
in. Then, Connor will agree to perform the surgery for sure.”

However, Laura was her last resort. Maya wouldn’t use this trump card recklessly so that her brothers
wouldn’t realize she was manipulating them. If things went south, it could damage the image she had carefully built over the
years.
The next moment, Maya’s phone rang.
The assistant glanced at Maya’s phone and said, “It’s from Mrs. Barrett.”
Maya quickly answered the phone with a gentle tone, “Hello, Mrs. Barrett.”
“Maya, when can you meet me? I’ve arranged appointments with several wedding gown studios. Let’s pick a design that you
would like. When you and my son get engaged, you must wear the most beautiful gown!”
“Okay, Mrs. Barrett. I’ll come over later.”
Maya hung up the call, her eyes filled with anger. She had to continue down this path no matter what, and she would get what
she wanted in the end. She was confident that Connor would eventually agree to perform the
surgery.
On the other side, Mia received a notice from the school for her to return for the new semester. She packed her things and
prepared to move out.
Wilhelmina said in a teasing tone, “You’re an award-winning designer, and many companies are eager to offer you a position in
their company. Why would you go back to school?
“By the time you graduate, you might not be able to find such good job opportunities anymore, especially if our company
expands in the future.”
