Chapter 179
A flicker of guilt crossed Maya’s eyes; she harbored no desire to be reunited with her biological family.
Being discarded in the past signified their lack of desire for her, or perhaps an inability to provide for her.
With the Lane family offering such favorable conditions and Maya holding the title of heiress, she wondered if it was necessary to search for her birth parents.
Was biological family really that important?
Having experienced hardships in the orphanage, Maya recognized the significance of wealth and social standing. Hence, she had no interest in reconnecting with her birth family.
With a hint of reluctance, Maya responded, “Regardless of whether I find my biological family or not, it doesn’t impact my engagement.
“You all are my family now, and that’s why I sincerely hope you can join me and Timothy for our engagement
ceremony.”
Connor observed her with a scrutinizing gaze. “Maya, you’ve achieved your goal. I’ve agreed to perform the
surgery on Grandma. There’s no need to be overly demanding.”
“But Connor, I’m a part of the family too. How can asking for your presence at my wedding be considered
greedy?”
*Dominic was the one who brought you back initially. Honestly, I never supported Dominic’s decision, so I’ve
never really regarded you as my sister.
“And let’s not forget, Maya, the years you’ve spent claiming the title of the Lane family heiress–you’re well
aware of your actions.
“I know precisely what kind of person you are, so it’s in your best interest to show some restraint.”
Due to Connor’s understanding of Maya’s nature, he decided to conceal her identity and refrain from publicly disclosing Mia’s, aiming to prevent any potential drastic actions from Maya.
With this revelation. Maya’s last glimmer of hope was shattered as she realized that pretense was no longer a
viable option.
During her childhood, Connor had seen through her facade on several occasions. As a result, she had always kept her distance from him, fearing that he might expose her true identity.
Brushing away the tears in her eyes, Maya responded calmly, “Connor, Dominic assured me that you and the others would be present at my engagement.
“If not, I’ll be left with no choice but to inform Grandma.”
“You wouldn’t dare!” Connor snapped.
“Connor, I don’t want to disturb Grandma’s peace, considering her kindness toward me over the years. All I’m asking is for my family to be there with me during the engagement ceremony–a simple request.”

With her words lingering in the air, Maya gracefully turned and walked away. However, her expression was notably grim, She hadn’t anticipated Connor to unveil everything so directly.
Nevertheless, it didn’t matter. Once she married Timothy, she wouldn’t have to endure such humiliation
anymore.
As Maya departed, Mia emerged from around the corner. Approaching Connor, she cautiously began, “Connor, is that you?”

Initially feeling a bit agitated, Connor’s demeanor shifted to surprise upon hearing Mia’s voice. “Mia, why are you at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?”
