Upon hearing Maya's words, Connor's expression grew uneasy. Could it be that Maya was aware of Mia's true identity?
However, it didn't make sense. If Maya truly knew who Mia was, her reaction wouldn't be like this.
Connor quickly composed himself. "Is that so? Did you recall some clues from the orphanage that you hadn't remembered before?"
Maya's expression appeared somewhat awkward.
"Yes, it suddenly dawned on me recently. I bumped into her on campus, and because we used to be close friends, I immediately felt a sense of familiarity when I saw her.
"It wasn't until yesterday that I realized she might be the person you've been searching for."
"Why didn't you inform us yesterday then?"
Connor's gaze held a trace of scrutiny as Maya replied calmly, "There have been numerous false alarms over the years, and I didn't want to disappoint you again.
"So, I discreetly arranged for someone to investigate and confirm her identity before telling you this good news."
Observing Maya's assured demeanor, Connor persisted, "Who is this person you've found?"
"Her name is Dana McQueen, a student in the Literature Department. We were both raised in the same orphanage. It wasn't until we talked about our childhood that I recognized her."
Connor acknowledged with a nod. "I'll conduct a thorough investigation."
"In that case, I'll reach out to Dominic right away and inform him of this wonderful news.
"Both he and Nathan should come over as well. It's a great opportunity for them to connect with their long-lost relative."
Connor's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of coldness gleaming. "Sure," he replied.
Observing Connor's compliance, Maya's spirits lifted.
