Seeing how everyone swooned over Mia, Shelly stomped her feet in frustration as she whined, “Aunt Sharon,
look how smug she is now!”
Sharon snorted. “No one asked for your two cents.” She was aware of it too.
“Aunt Sharon, it’s not like I'm wrong. Anyone here would think Mia’s actually the host, instead of you. She’s
already divorced from Timothy, she doesn’t have the right to steal the show today!”
Sharon
was well aware of this, but she couldn't afford to offend Mia since she was the daughter of the
Lane family now.

Sharon might be the Lady of the Barrett family, but Laura was more superior than her. Timothy couldn't care less
about her either. There was nothing she could do.
Struggling to mask her defiance, she said with an awkward expression. “Right, | asseveryone's tired from all
that talk. Why don’t you all grab something to eat?”
In fact, Mia felt quite hungry. She strode toward the dining area and grabbed sfood. Eva was standing next
to her. “Mia, did you see Mrs. Barrett's expression earlier? | noticed that her necklace was quite exquisite as well.
It's a piece worn by the Duchess, but of course, it's incomparable to yours. Yours has been worn by the Queen.”
“Sharon-I mean, Mrs. Barrett. She's obsessed with comparing herself with others. What you said earlier must've
hurt her badly.” She figured Sharon would be awash in dread.
Mia flashed a smile at Eva, reverting her gaze to her bracelet. “Eva, you've never toldhow priceless
this bracelet is.” She glanced up at Eva with teary eyes.
Dominic leaned over, chiming in, “Mia, Eva adores you. She doesn’t even lend it towhen | ask her.”
Liam nodded. “Exactly. | borrowed Eva’s collection for a shoot back then, and she literally chargedfor
that.” 1
Eva raised a brow. “You're guys, and Mia's a sweet little girl. The audacity of you to compare yourselves
to her!”
Mia chuckled. Their banter always made her feel content.
She suddenly felt a familiar, intense gaze fixated on her. She spun around casually, and she wasn’t
surprised when she met Timothy's eyes. However, she couldn't read his emotions from his darkened
gaze.

Her gaze swept past him as she averted her gaze promptly. She wasn’t looking at him anymore, but the intensity
of his stare was jarring.
Feeling slightly uneasy, she wondered why he kept staring at her. His stare made her extremely uncomfortable.
She could barely focus on her food.
When Mia reached over for the fruits, a server accidentally bumped into her.
“Argh!” She quickly steadied herself, propping herself up against the table after she collided with the
server.
The glass of red wine the server was holding was knocked over. The wine spilled, and a few drops of them
splattered across Mia’s dress.
The server immediately knelt on the floor, blurting out her apology in a haste, “I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! It was
an accident!” She was wiping the stains off Mia's dress as she apologized.
Unfortunately, Mia’s lavish dress couldn’t afford to be stained. Once it was soiled, it was nearly impossible to
clean the stains.
