Chapter 511 Mia looked at Maya upon Liam's words, puzzled.
Mava was the take princess? The term exasperated Maya so much that she screamed, “So what if | do? | am part of the family and | have the right to voice out my opinion. How could you keepin the dark? I'm not a fake princess!” Maya couldn't accept reality. If only she had found Mia sooner, she would've been able to deal with Mia instead of becoming the passive party.

Your grew greediel, coveting things that aren't rightfully yours.” “Things that aren’t rightfully mine? | am Ms. Lane too! What part do | lack compared to Mia? I've contributed so much to the family for so many years. But you want to driveaway as soon as Mia returns? Not a chancel” Maya was losing it, feeling that the whole world was treating her unfairly.
Dominic frowned. “What do you want?” She sneered and turned back, pointing at Timothy. “I want to marry into the Barrett family and bec Mrs. Barrett.” Timothy's brows furrowed. “I'd rather be single forever than marry you.” Sharon chimed in. “Maya, look, Timothy doesn’t like you. A forced relationship is bound to be miserable.” Maya glared at Sharon. “How ironic. Before this, haven't (x1 always been hoping forto marry Timothy? Now that you discover that I'm an adopted child, you're repulsive to the idea, huh? | guess rich people are materialistic too.” That pricked Sharon’s guilty conscience, but Maya did cross the line with her words.
Sharon snorted, “That's unbecoming of you to say that, Ms Lane. | thought you were raised to be proper.
| never knew that you'd be this disrespectful.” “I know, right? Aunt Sharon, | think something’s off about Maya too. She’s an adoptive child, but she claims herself to be Ms. Lane in Bern City. She lied to all of us.” Shelly cto the scene as she found it odd that no one showed up.
Who would've known she’d overhear such a mind-blowing secret? Maya was adopted by the Lanes while Mia was the true Ms. Lane! This was a melodrama playing in real life! As both ladies from the Barrett family mocked her, Maya couldn’t help but barked back, “You don’t have the right to say that to me. Shelly Barrett! Who do you think you are? You're broke and you usedfor my credit card.” Shelly gulped. “You were trying to curry favor withbecause you want to marry into our family. Now, we know that you're just an adoptive child and a poor woman who's going to be driven out to the streets.
We're different.” That was Shelly's revenge for Maya who acted all haughty, and for freezing Shelly’s credit card. Shelly couldn't accept that coming from a mere adoptive child.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSharon nodded. “Shelly, you're right. We've always emphasized the compatibility of our family background. Since Maya is an adopted child, she’s not fit to be one of us. Mia is the better candidate.” Mia's eyes darted at Sharon, and the corner of her lips twitched.
Never once had Sharon treated her so nicely. This was the first.
Before this. Sharon kept giving her the cold treatment and picking on her.
To have power was indeed an advantage.
Sharon expressed guilt. “I didn’t know all of this, Mia. Maya kept driving a wedge between us. That was why | had been treating you badly. But we know the truth now. We're still a family.”
