"Why have you been keeping your identity a secret, Ms. Lane? Is there a reason?" someone asked.

Hearing that, Timothy stared at Mia, who was holding a microphone.

She was standing on the stage in a simple evening dress. The stage light shone on her, and she looked like she was the bright moon hanging in the night sky.

"What do you think, Tim? Are you losing confidence now that Mia has made exceptional achievements?"

Hearing Caleb's voice, Timothy looked over his shoulder. "What brought you here?"

"I heard that the banquet was super entertaining, so I rushed over. I didn't want to miss the show. I heard some women got into a fight too. But I guess it's over. What a shame. If I had known that, I would've come along with you."

Timothy was rendered speechless.

Caleb continued, "But I totally didn't expect Mia to be the real owner of Aide Castle. In this case, it's not entirely impossible for you to work with Aide Castle."

"Why do you say so? I think we'll get the deal for sure."

Caleb exclaimed, "On what grounds, Tim?"

Just who had boosted Timothy's confidence?

Mia had six brothers backing her up!

Timothy rolled up his sleeves calmly. "Connection is important when it comes to joint ventures. Think about the relationship I have with Mia. Do you think there would be a problem?" Caleb retorted cruelly, "Do I have to remind you that you haven't even won her heart back yet? Stop dreaming about working with her in business. I'm telling you, you don't stand a chance!" "Shut up. Enough." Timothy didn't want to continue the conversation with Caleb any longer.

He lifted his head, refocusing his gaze on Mia on the stage.

The sheer sight of her softened his gaze.

Mia, who was incredibly meek back then, had transformed into a woman so stunning that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

From the stage, Mia could feel his intrusive gaze.

She noticed him from the corner of her eyes. His gaze was so deep that she couldn't get used to it.

Why was he looking at her?

She took a deep breath. "I kept my identity a secret because I wanted to prove that I can run a business successfully without the help of my family."

As soon as she finished, Timothy was the first to clap his hands, leading the guests to join in a thunderous applause for her.

Everyone was aware of their relationship.

Timothy was Mia's ex-husband while she was the only daughter of the Lane family.

She could have enjoyed her life free from woes and stress, but she chose to show everyone how talented and hard-working she was instead.

The guests present at the banquet

began to think about their feckless children and sighed. They wished they could turn back time and raise them better.

Just how did the Lane family get lucky with such a wonderful daughter?

The guests began to compare their children with Mia, there was no end to the jealousy they felt toward the Lane family.

Jasmine clapped her hands with passion, as she was able to come this far thanks to Mia. Mia helped her a lot from behind the scenes.

Jasmine purposely cast a gaze at Luna, who was sitting next to her. Mia had clearly driven Luna out of the place, but she chose to stay so brazenly. No one could imagine how shameless she could be.

Jasmine said intentionally, "Luna, you should learn more from Mia. Look. She's of your age, but she has already established her own company, a successful company at that."
