Then, Shelly turned toward Sharon. "Aunt Sharon, didn't you say the owner of Aide Castle Hotel will be present today as well? I can't wait to rub the truth in Mia's face and see whether she dares to spout any more nonsense."
A smug smile spread across Sharon's face. "The owner will show up once the banquet starts. Don't be hasty."
"I'm just eager to see how someone's going to be humiliated. It's funny of her to think that she's actually that influential in Nord City as a Lane."
Amused, Mia turned toward them. "Do I have to remind you of how you groveled to that impostor in the Barrett family?"
Both Shelly and Sharon were rendered speechless, and their expressions turned ashen.novelbin
Fumbling with her clothes, Sharon remained silent.
Shelly, however, stubbornly replied, "Quit your nonsense, Mia. When did we ever grovel to that impostor? She showed up shamelessly because she wanted to marry Tim."
Shelly was embarrassed about her past actions, but she couldn't admit that in front of Mia.
"Really? It seems like you have amnesia. Do you need me to recite all the sweet talk you bombarded Maya with? It serves as a reminder, so you won't forget again." "What are you on about? Enough!"
A pang of shame shot through

Shelly. After all, she did grovel to Maya back then. She had thought Maya was the daughter of the prestigious Lane family in Nord City, and getting close to Maya meant she could continue living off the Barrett family.
Yet, little did she expect Maya to be an impostor. Mia, whom she had always regarded as an orphan, turned out to be the actual daughter of the Lane family instead.
The sudden turn of events was
beyond Shelly's wildest dreams. At
eline
one point, she even fantasized about her also being the daughter of a prestigious family, instead of someone who had to beg for an allowance from the Barrett family. It was a miserable life, indeed.
But Shelly hadn't been close with Mia. If Mia were to remarry Timothy, she might even seek revenge against her. This thought sent shivers down her spine, and she was even more resolute in preventing Mia from remarrying Timothy.
Mia turned toward Sharon. "And you. Have you forgotten already?"
Although she sympathized with Sharon's plight, it was undeniable that Sharon acted nothing like a proper socialite. She simply couldn't muster a sliver of sympathy for Sharon when she merely behaved like a shrew.
Feigning composure, Sharon replied,
"I was tricked by the impostor as well. But the way you behave screams volumes about the Lanes courtesy. I don't see the difference in behavior between an impostor and an actual member of the Lane family."
Just then, Shelly glanced to her side. Her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Aunt Sharon, the manager is here."
Sharon spun around. Glancing over at Philip who was clad in a suit, she smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
"Look, Aunt Sharon. He's approaching us. Perhaps he's coming over to greet you? I told you that the owner of Aide Castle Hotel is going to partner with us, that's why he sent someone over to chat with us." Mia was utterly perplexed.
