Chapter 468

Maya’s gaze took on a sinister edge as she spoke, “It seems I’ve underestimated Mla. She’s managednovelbin

to slip through the cracks!

“Everyone thought she pretended to be pregnant to deceive Mrs. Barrett Senior, but who could have

guessed Mia was truly pregnant? She’s fooled us all!”

It appeared that Mia planned to secretly give birth to Timothy’s child in Nord City and leverage the

newborn to solidify her position as Mrs. Barrett.

Indeed, that seemed to be her strategy.

Now, with the potential revelation that Mia might be the rightful heiress of the Lane family, there

seemed to be little standing in her way.

Wouldn’t Maya ultimately face a humiliating defeat?

No, that was out of the question!

A deadly resolve flashed in Maya’s eyes as she turned to Blake. “We need to eliminate Mia and the

unborn child in her womb immediately!”

Indeed, Mia had brought this upon herself!

After Maya left, Connor took a brief moment to collect his thoughts before reaching out to Dominic.”

Dominic, there’s something important I need to talk to you about.”

Connor proceeded to narrate to Dominic the details of Maya’s inquiries over the phone.

In a solemn tone, Dominic replied, “It seems Maya might already be onto us, deliberately finding a

decoy

to throw us off.”

“Exactly. It’s as if Maya is intentionally obstructing Mia’s return to our family by arranging for a decoy.

“It’s obvious Maya knew Mia’s whereabouts all along but pretended not to, leading us on a fruitless

search for Mia.”

Connor’s voice turned cold. “Dominic, we can’t afford to let Maya remain any longer.”

“Yeah. On another note, all of Mia’s paperwork has been handled. It’s the perfect opportunity for us to

visit. We’ll confront the past, expose Maya’s deception, and ensure she faces the repercussions she’s

due.”

“I agree.”

After ending the call, Connor’s lips twisted into a smirk. He was determined not to show mercy to

anyone

who harmed Mia.

In the days that followed, Mia remained on campus, focusing on her studies for the upcoming exams.

Nonetheless, she couldn’t resist occasionally glancing at her phone and messaging Timothy. “Mr.

Barrett, when will you be available to complete our divorce proceedings?”

Yet, her messages appeared to dissipate without a trace, receiving no response whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Timothy remained in his office, staring blankly at Mia’s texts on his phone.

Suddenly, he shifted his gaze to Heath and inquired, “What can I do to prevent the divorce from being

finalized?”

Heath hesitated for a moment before suggesting, “Perhaps try to coax her?”

Coax her?

Timothy furrowed his brow. He had never attempted to persuade a woman in this manner before.

Mia had spent the entire day on campus, immersed in her studies.

It wasn’t until evening arrived that she finally packed up her belongings and got ready to head home.

As she approached the university entrance, she spotted a crowd gathered outside.

“Wow, that sports car seems really pricey, and that man is incredibly good–looking.”

“I wonder who the lucky lady is! With a guy that attractive, I’d be tempted to pursue him myself!”

Mia felt a twinge of curiosity. Was someone perhaps declaring their love outside the study hall?

As Mia glanced over, he suddenly turned his head and locked eyes with her.

At that moment, her heart seemed to skip a beat.
