“What? Maya, aren’t you concerned that Mia might cause trouble at the wedding?”
Maya’s smile turned cold. “She wouldn’t dare. The engagement venue today bears her design. If anything goes awry, it’s not just her career on the line; her entire studio will face the
consequences.”
“I see. By the way. Maya, how about having Mia assist with your wedding gown’s train? Let that bitch witness the contrast between us.”
Shelly was now desperate to eliminate Mia.
Because of Mia, Shelly’s reputation had suffered a blow. Even though the Barrett family later clarified that the video and photos were manipulated, those in the know were aware of her involvement.
It was all because of Mia!
Maya smirked. “Alright, let’s head downstairs. You can manage it on your own later. Just ensure it doesn’t impact the engagement.”
“Maya, don’t worry. I’ll handle Mia without a hitch. You just sit back and enjoy the show.”
Upon hearing this, Maya’s smirk deepened.
Descending the stairs, she was taken aback to discover the main hall empty.
Where were Timothy and her brothers?
Sharon offered a reassuring smile, saying, “Maya, Tim and your brothers likely stepped out to discuss matters. Let’s not worry about them for now.
“We should head directly to the engagement venue at the back.”
Maya forced a smile, entertaining the possibility that Sharon might be right.
Yet, an intense twitching in her eyelids persisted, and she couldn’t quite pinpoint the cause.
Upon Maya’s arrival at the engagement venue, Timothy and her brothers were nowhere to be found, and panic began to set in.
Sensing Maya’s unease, Sharon commented, “Maya, I’ll call Tim to find out where they’ve gone.”
After Sharon’s departure, Maya turned to Felix, inquiring, “Has Ms. Bowen arrived?”

Approaching hesitantly, Felix spoke, “I’m sorry, Ms. Lane. She hasn’t arrived yet but should be on
her way.”
“On her way? Is this the level of professionalism in your studio, Mr. Quilter? Mia, the designated designer, is conspicuously absent.
“How am I supposed to have confidence in your studio’s ability to deliver satisfactory results?”
“I apologize, Ms. Lane. I’ll contact Mia immediately.”
Felix promptly dialed Mia’s number, his expression turning uneasy. Eventually, he reluctantly informed, “Ms. Lane, Mia’s phone is switched off.”
Shelly sneered, “Switched off? Could it be that Mia had no intention of coming and deliberately turned off her phone to avoid being contacted? She certainly seems quite cunning.”
Maya’s mood soured even more. As she turned around, her brothers were nowhere to be found.
She quickly grabbed her phone and called Dominic, “Dominic, the engagement is about to begin. Where are you guys?”
“We’re on our way.”
