Chapter 515 At this point, Mia sort of understood what happened at the orphanage back then. Maya probably knew Dominic was looking for Mia, but she chose to deceive him and replaced Mia as the daughter of the Lanes.
Dominic regretted it badly. He glared at Maya. “The Lanes will hold you responsible for this. You'll end up in prison.” Infuriated, Sharon chimed in. “I'll also hold you responsible for my son’s injury!” Little did she expect Maya to attack someone with a knife, almost hurting Timothy in the process. She was convinced that Maya was a lunatic, and she even felt quite relieved that it was Mia who married Timothy instead of Maya.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Maya began to scream frantically, a few shrill cackles escaped her lips occasionally. She seemed to have lost her sanity.
Dominic frowned. “Keep an eye on her.” “Enough, let's leave. The event's about to start, so let's go.” Mia glanced up at Timothy. “It's better for you to go to the hospital.” After saying that, she left with the Lanes promptly.
Chancing a glance at Timothy, Dominic said, “We'll bring Mia back to Nord City, and | hope you'll refrain from showing up before her, Mr. Barrett.” BQ Timothy remained silent, yet his darkened gaze was fixated on Mia. He couldn't care less about what the Lane family said. She was pregnant with his child, after all.
If the child wasn’t his, he couldn’t fathom why Mia tried to keep it a secret from him, to the point that she was willing to let him misunderstand her relationship with Connor. It was a fact that the child belonged to him, and even Mia's identity change couldn't alter that.
Timothy felt slightly relieved that he had a child. Otherwise, he had no reason to make her stay.
Meanwhile, Mia left the dressing room with her brothers. Mixed emotions swirled in her chest. She thought she had finally reconnected with her family, but she didn’t expect their prestigious background.

Silence hung in the air when they stepped into the elevator.
“Mia, are you mad?” Dominic asked.
Liam chimed in swiftly. “Mia, it was Dominic’s idea to get us to keep our identities a secret. We didn’t agree to it. Blhim.” Without a trace of hesitation, Claude said, “Exactly. We never wanted to lie to you. Dominic forced us to do so.” Dominic was bewildered. How could they betray him in the blink of an eye? Weren't they supposed to back each other up? Feeling perplexed, Mia glanced over at them. The other five Lane brothers separated themselves from Dominic, leaving him deserted in a corner. He stood still, looking particularly pitiable despite his big frame.
He looked at Mia, saying, “I admit it’s my fault back then. | underestimated the evil and greediness in one’s heart, and | didn’t expect a little girl like Maya to manifest such malice. If | didn’t bring her back, she might've already toldabout your whereabouts to ensure she’ll lead a good life.” Mia's eyes reddened. “Dominic, it’s not your fault. No one expected Maya to be that malicious as a kid. | can’t remember what happened back then, so | have no idea why she lied.”
