Chapter 446
Timothy left right away.
Claude was infuriated. This was the first for him to encounter that level of arrogance. If it weren’t for Mia, he would’ve dealt with him on his own.
Maya’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Timothy. Nonetheless, it was crucial to discover Mia’s identity and to know whether the Lane family was aware of her identity.
Dashing after Claude, she groveled, “Mr. Lane, you’re seemingly close with Mia. In fact, she’s quite close with Connor as well.”
Claude halted his steps. Dropping his gaze, he asked, “What are you implying?”
“N–Nothing, I’m just curious. Don’t you all reside in Nord City? When did you get close to Mia? How did you guys meet?”
It dawned on Claude that Maya began to suspect something. He recalled the prelude of the piano piece earlier, which was also the tune Mia learned back at the orphanage when she was young.
Since Maya was from the same orphanage, he wouldn’t be surprised if the piece sounded familiar to her. But did she begin to doubt her identity?
Nonetheless, Claude had always thought it was strange for Dominic to bring Maya back from the orphanage instead of Mia.
He never managed to locate any evidence, so his chance to probe into this appeared before him now.
Raising his brows, he retorted, “This has nothing to do with you, isn’t it?”
Maya forced a smile. “Actually, I noticed that Mia was very close with Connor, and there seemed to be something going in between them. However, it seems like he’d been dating a singer lately.
“To put it simply, I don’t think Mia’s the right match for Connor. She’s divorced, and her status is far below Connor’s. I figured I should’ve talked her out of this and get her to stop being delusional.”
Claude sneered, “You’re one to talk about status, Maya. Have you forgotten that you were an orphan, and you’re adopted into the Lane family?
“It’s not like you have a high status either. Did you have an identity crisis because you’re too used to faking one?”

Maya’s expression changed drastically. She had been leading a smooth life over these years, and she was gladly convinced that she was the real daughter of the Lane family.
Now that the real daughter of the Lane family had shown up, she couldn’t tolerate it. It was even more unacceptable for her when she realized Mia, the woman she resented most, was actually the real daughter of the Lane family.
Claude spotted the shift in her expression. She must’ve suspected something from the piece earlier, resulting in her probing into his relationship with Mia.
