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.
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!"
