With the possibility looming that Mia might be the heiress of the Lane family, Maya's reluctance grew even stronger.
Puzzled, Blake spoke up, "Ms. Lane, I can't help but feel that something isn't quite right about this situation.
"In the past, whenever news of finding the real heiress surfaced, there would be immediate and fervent responses from everyone.
"But this time, their reactions seem oddly subdued, don't you think? Mr. Connor didn't even inquire about it!"
"Come to think of it, it does seem strange."
Just as doubts began to arise in Maya's mind, Connor's call unexpectedly came through.
She couldn't suppress a faint smile. "Connors is on the line. It appears he's probing for information.
"Apart from Dominic, they all seem to be suspicious of my intentions, especially since I'm the one who discovered the 'heiress' this time. It's understandable for them to be cautious and skeptical."
Maya promptly picked up the call. "Hello, Connor. Why are you calling?"
After all, she was the one who typically initiated communication with him.
"Maya, Dominic will be arriving in two days. I'd like to meet this person you've found before his arrival."
"Connor, there's no need to rush things. I'm concerned that if you visit her alone, it might raise her suspicions.
"Let's wait until everyone is present, and then we can approach her together. We wouldn't want to startle her, would we?"
Maya was determined not to let Connor visit Dana alone, fearing it could jeopardize her cover.
Reluctantly, Connor agreed, "Alright, we'll go together the day after tomorrow. Please look after her these next two days."
"Rest assured, Connor, I'll take excellent care of her. After all, she's my closest friend. I couldn't be happier that she's returning to our family."
After ending the call, Connor couldn't help but smirk. "That should put an end to any suspicions Maya might have," he remarked.
Jason agreed with a nod. "I've had my doubts about Maya from the beginning. But Dominic was adamant about bringing her back for Grandma's sake."
Claude's expression hardened. "At least now the primary culprit can't evade justice."
