Chapter 213
Maya began looking forward to the engagement ceremony, which would be held on the day after tomorrow. 1
She pulled her phone out to call Dominic.
The line got through quickly and she grinned. “Dominic, are you busy these days? Is it necessary when you’ve only bought such a small company?”
Maya was aware of Dominic’s return to Bern City and that he personally followed up on the acquisition. It must be important to his work and hence he gave it so much importance.
Mia’s luck still annoyed Maya. Dominic happened to acquire that company at that moment. If things went differently, that old man’s daughter might’ve taught Mia a lesson.
Instead, Wilhelmina became the scapegoat in the end.
“This is work–related,” Dominic’s tone was calming.
He would never keep Maya in the loop by saying that his efforts were all for Mia. Not only did he come to the city in person, but he had also personally acquired that company.
No longer pestering him with questions, she changed the topic. “You should be done with your work by now. My engagement ceremony is on the day after tomorrow. You and Eva have time to attend it, right?”
“Yeah.” He contemplated momentarily before continuing, “I have something to tell you after the ceremony
ends.”
“What is it? That’s such a cliffhanger. Why don’t you tell me right now?”
He refused without a second thought, “Now’s not the time.”
A sense of foreboding loomed over her. Left with no choice, she could only rein her curiosity in. “I’m going to get married not long after the engagement. Grandma promised to give me those collections once I get married.
A crease was formed between his eyebrows. “That won’t do.”
Maya was taken aback. “Why not? Grandma promised.”
“Maya, you should know that Grandma promised to give them to her biological granddaughter, not you.”
Tears of anger pooled in her eyes. “Dominic, don’t I deserve to be your sister? It’s been years.”
She had flaunted about being his sister in front of Shelly from the beginning. Now, a lot of people know that her family would give her an abundance of wedding gifts and were envious of her.
Now that Dominic refused, what should she do?
If nothing was shown at the wedding, would everyone make fun of her?
He said calmly, “Maya, I personally think that I have treated you well all these years. You haven’t forgotten
+15 BONOS
Maya was stunned. She never forgot about it.
However, years of living in luxury as Ms. Lane had her put her old memories at the back of her mind,
She perceived herself as the true Ms. Lane. After all, the true Ms. Lane would never return to the Lane farmity, she believed.
Menace tinged her face, but her voice remained steady with a touch of plea. “I haven’t forgotten. I know who’s the reason I’m able to come this far too. But I’m still Ms. Lane in public. If the wedding gift is too shabby, people will laugh at us.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. I won’t disappoint you. And as for Grandma’s collection, don’t even think about getting a share. That is her will.”
On top of that, the Lane brothers had found their long–lost sister. Those things were meant for Mia.
Maya suppressed her feelings. “Fine. Got it. Remember to come the day after tomorrow.”
“We will. The three of us.”
“Great! I thought you guys wouldn’t. Thanks, Dominic.”
Nathan’s attendance was out of her expectations. Dominic was indeed a man of his word!
The call beeped to an end.
The thought of the wedding gift stole the smile from her face.
Like a mad woman, she smashed everything in the house.
Just why couldn’t she get those assets?
