Chapter 243
Maya couldn’t comprehend why Timothy had left, and now, her brothers were also following suit.
They were her family, after all. On a day as significant as her engagement, what could possibly take precedence over her?
Despite Timothy’s absence, having her brothers present could have salvaged the situation.
However, with their departure, wouldn’t she inevitably become a subject of ridicule?
Maya intended to wait until Mia arrived, determined to assertively confront her once again.
Dominic addressed her. “Maya, given Timothy’s departure, proceeding with the engagement today seems pointless. Let’s cancel it.”
At the mention of canceling the engagement, Maya’s complexion instantly paled.
She promptly responded, “Canceling the engagement is not an option. Even if Timothy can’t make
it due to work, we should proceed as planned.”
After all, even with Timothy unconscious in a hospital bed three years ago, Mia still managed to
marry into the Barrett family.
Connor’s expression held a trace of contempt. “Maya, how long will you continue deluding
yourself? Do you genuinely believe Timothy is wholeheartedly interested in marrying you?”
“Connor, what are you implying? Timothy clearly wants to marry me! Why else would we be
having this engagement ceremony today?”
Maya suddenly sensed a discrepancy in Connor’s words.
“Maya, wasn’t Timothy’s decision to marry you based on my agreement to perform surgery for
Mrs. Barrett Senior?”
Maya’s expression froze, realizing that Connor was privy to this information.
She attempted to clarify. “Connor, it’s my own affair whether Tim loves me or not. I love him, and I
want to marry him. I believe he will recognize my sincerity over time.”
“But Maya, lies will eventually be exposed. Have you considered the repercussions?” Connor
cautioned.
Maya tightened her fists, retorting, “I haven’t lied, Connor. Didn’t you also promise to perform surgery for Grandma Laura? When did I deceive Timothy?”

Connor found himself momentarily speechless.

Did he really need to reveal to Maya that he agreed to perform surgery on Laura because of Mia?
If he did, Maya would undoubtedly start questioning Mia’s identity.
Given Mia’s absence from the engagement today, the revelation of her identity had to be postponed. Hence, Connor chose not to proceed with the discussion.
Dominic furrowed his brow as he glanced at his phone, announcing, “We need to leave.”
