Chapter 451
Mia meant to ask earlier, but she was interrupted by Maya’s sudden appearance.
Claude’s expression shifted slightly. He was caught off guard by her question. “Maya knows how to
play the piano as well. She wants to join our orchestra.”
“So she’ll be joining in the future?” Mia asked curiously.
“In her dreams! I won’t let her join. She isn’t talented at all.” Claude’s tone was laced with disdain.
There was no way he’d let Maya join the orchestra.
Given Maya’s influential family background, Mia thought it wouldn’t be difficult for Maya to join the
orchestra if she wanted.
Just as they were about to leave backstage, Kennedy went up to Mia and asked, “Mia, it’s all thanks to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou that the event ended splendidly. Why don’t you join us for a meal?”
Mia didn’t expect this at all. She really didn’t want to entertain them since she only did it for the sake of
her credit.
Claude took note of her uneasiness. Glancing up at Kennedy, he replied, “Sorry, but we have an
appointment later. Maybe next time.”
Kennedy was aware of his identity as the general manager of the orchestra. He figured that he thought
highly of Mia’s talent as well. Knowing that he couldn’t afford to offend him, he replied servilely with a
smile, “Sure, no worries.”
Mia heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Claude rejected his offer in her stead.
As she left with him, she spotted a luxury car parked nearby. It was Timothy’s car. She quickly withdrew
her gaze after a brief glance.
Scrambling into Claude’s car, she chanced a glance at the rearview mirror, but she couldn’t discern
Timothy’s expression.
Timothy narrowed his eyes as he watched Claude’s car leave. There was a complicated look in his
eyes. Glancing over at Heath, he asked, “Did you find out why Mia was close to the Lanes?”
Heath hesitated. “Not very specific. But it seems like the Lanes began to get close with Mrs. Barrett
ever since you proposed a divorce.
“It does seem strange, but there are no significant findings from our investigation.”
“You gotta be kidding me. Keep investigating then!”
The way Mia left with Claude lingered in Timothy’s mind. Feeling frustrated, he winded down the
window to get some fresh air. Little did he expect Maya to dash over at him.

He winded up the window instantly and kicked the driver’s seat. “Go!”
His car zoomed off, leaving Maya stomping her foot in chagrin, looking positively sullen. He had been
giving her the cold shoulder ever since her scheme to get Laura to undergo surgery had been exposed.
Blake approached her and said, “Ms. Lane, why does it have to be Timothy? There are so many rich
bachelors in Bern City. You can just date any of them.”
“No! I’m the daughter of the Lane family from Nord City, of course, it’s only right for me to marry the
richest bachelor. Timothy outshines everyone.”
Lowering his voice, Blake continued, “Ms. Lane, this is for your own good. You should be aware that
the real daughter of the Lane family has shown up, and It’s only a matter of time before they find her.
“I think it’s better for you to marry Into a wealthy family before you’re exposed. You can still lead a
luxurious life then.‘
