Luna didn't look happy when Shelly spoke up for Mia.
She couldn't simply brush off the recent incident. She had just been on the same side as Shelly.
After those words were spoken, people around them began to discuss among themselves. After all, Aide Castle Hotel had appeared and quickly became a popular high-end hotel in Nord City. Bookings were in high demand, and it soon became the premier venue for the upper class to host banquets.
However, the owner of Aide Castle had always been shrouded in mystery, designing each banquet venue with a flair that never failed to surprise and captivate. With every new theme, they manage to set trends and become the talk of the town. Despite various speculations surrounding the owner's identity, it was known that the Lane family was certainly involved. After all, Aide Castle's initial investment came from Dominic.
Shelly also overheard the conversations of the people around her, and it was clear that everyone was curious about the identity of the owner of Aide Castle.
"I heard that the owner of Aide Castle is a man."
"I've also heard that someone has apparently met the owner of Aide Castle. He's not too young, and he's very kind to others."
Luna's lips curled into a cold smile. "Ms. Lane, if that's the case, then please verify your identity. After all, everyone here holds a certain status. If you're deceiving us, it won't bode well for the Lane family, will it?"
Shelly further fanned the flames by stating, "Mia, your birth determines everything. You were an orphan from a young age and only recently returned to the Lane family. Why did you lie?"
Luna heard Shelly's words and immediately glared at her. Shelly was clearly mocking her on purpose. Mia stood there calmly, unfazed by the situation, and openly accepted everyone's suspicions.
She openly confessed to Shelly and Luna that she was the rightful owner of Aide Castle and had no plans to conceal her identity. Her decision had nothing to do with timing, instead, it stemmed from her refusal to tolerate these women's pretense.
Given their apparent desire to receive a reality check, she graciously gave them the opportunity to have their egos bruised today.
Jasmine remained silent, attentively observing the show from the sidelines. She was convinced that Mia was the rightful owner of Aide Castle. Thus, she considered Shelly and Luna mere clowns who deserved to face the consequences.
Raymond looked at Mia in surprise and asked, "Ms. Lane, what's happening? Are you close to the owner of Aide Castle?"
Shelly replied before Mia did and said, "I believe Mia may have met the owner of Aide Castle a few times, but she's not acquainted with the owner at all. Despite the owner's mysterious nature, she still insisted on flaunting and deceiving others. Just earlier, the general manager of Aide Castle came out to greet my Aunt Sharon. At that moment, the general manager did not acknowledge Mia at all. Mia must be lying."
Jasmine quickly clarified, "The general manager is just overseeing the shift, and he's new to the team. So it's understandable that he doesn't know who Mia is."
Luna continued, "It's amusing, isn't it? Nowadays, every general manager knows what their boss looks like. Would anyone believe him if he said otherwise?"
Shelley immediately agreed, saying, "Exactly! Besides, Aide Castle Hotel is going to collaborate with our Barrett family. There's no way we could mistake the identity of the wrong person. Mia is definitely not the owner of Aide Castle."
Witnessing Shelly's unwavering determination, Mia couldn't help but ask with a playful grin, "If you're that confident, have you had the chance to meet the owner of Aide Castle?"
