Chapter 227
Upon hearing Maya’s voice, Mia quickly turned around and, as expected, spotted Maya approaching,
Was Maya intentionally trying to stir up trouble? Perhaps because she was feeling unsatisfied?
However, Mia wasn’t about to stay here any longer. After all, wasn’t retreating the more sensible
option?
Without hesitation, she rushed toward Connor, thankful that he was present.
As Connor noticed Mia approaching, his heart raced considerably. He never anticipated getting
entangled in such a predicament.
He had to ensure Mia’s safety!
This wasn’t the right moment to disclose everything!
In the blink of an eye, Mia hurried over and settled into the passenger seat, urging, “Connor, let’s get
out of here!”
“Alright.”
Without further inquiry, Connor stepped on the gas and quickly left the scene.
Maya stared in disbelief at the departing car, struggling to process the reality before her. Was that
Connor behind the wheel, or had her eyes deceived her?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs Maya reflected on the scene, a wave of shock began to wash over her. The more she dwelled on it,
the
more convinced she was that it was undeniably Connor. There was no room for doubt.
But why was Connor with Mia?
Just moments ago, Mia effortlessly entered Connor’s car, their interaction revealing a familiarity that
suggested this wasn’t their first meeting.
A sudden wave of panic surged through Maya.
When did Mia become acquainted with Connor?
Wasn’t she supposed to be Linden’s sugar baby? Could it be that Linden introduced Mia to Connor?
A sense of unease crept over Maya, prompting her to immediately call Connor. However, there was no
answer
on the other end.
As the car distanced itself from the scene, Connor let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Mia had prompted him to make a quick exit. Otherwise, if Maya had approached and
started
asking questions, their cover might have been exposed.
Contemplating this. Connor cast a suspicious glance at Mia seated in the passenger seat. “Mia, why
did you
leave so hastily?”
Mia’s expression betrayed a hint of unease. She had narrowly avoided being caught by Connor.

If Maya had intercepted her earlier, she would have undoubtedly revealed Mia’s connection to Timothy.
With all six brothers at home today, the revelation of Mia’s expulsion from the Barrett family might
prompt her
brothers to seek revenge, especially the impulsive Dominic, known for stirring up trouble.
“It was a close call,” Mia and Connor thought, sharing a collective sense of relief.
Mia cleared her throat before responding, “Well, considering that most of the decorations are already
set up, they’ll likely continue overseeing the arrangements here tonight.
“However, I needed to head home for dinner, so I decided to slip away early.”
She nonchalantly crafted an excuse.
Connor nodded, still perplexed. “But when I saw you coming out, it looked like someone was calling out
to you.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe wanted to delve into Mia’s connection with Maya.
Mia’s expression briefly stiffened. “You know how it is these days, Connor. Managing communication
between the client and the designer isn’t always seamless.
“Besides, with Felix on site, I can take a break. Everything should run smoothly without any problems.”
Connor remained somewhat skeptical. “Was the woman who was chasing you just now the client?”
“Yeah, she’s demanding and troublesome. Honestly, I’m just too lazy to cater to her. She can be quite
annoying.”
As Mia spoke, it became evident that she harbored a genuine dislike for Maya.
Given Maya’s somewhat two–faced personality, Connor had anticipated from the start that Mia and
Maya would never get along. Now, it appeared his suspicions were justified.
Feeling apprehensive, Connor remained silent, deciding not to press further.
Mia, too, felt a sense of unease. If Connor delved further, she would be forced to devise more elaborate
excuses. Fortunately, Connor refrained from additional inquiries.
Mia glanced down at the phone buzzing incessantly beside her. “Connor, your phone has been ringing
nonstop. Aren’t you going to answer?”
Connor could easily deduce the identity of the caller. He quickly clarified, “It’s probably from the
hospital, and it’s nothing urgent. You don’t have to respond. I did mention I would be late.”
