Maya was stunned from the slap. She stared at Dominic in disbelief, her eyes turning red.
“How could you, Dominic? How could you hit me for Mia’s sake?”
This was beyond her expectation.
With a grim expression, Dominic glared at Maya.
“Maya, how could you be so harsh despite being the daughter of the Lane family? Has all that you
learned in etiquette lessons throughout these years been in vain?”
Initially, he thought Maya found out about Mia’s identity. Yet, it turned out that she probably
misunderstood Mia’s relationship with Liam and Connor. Nonetheless, that didn’t justify her to speak
crassly about Mia.
Feeling wronged, Maya retorted in a strained voice, “I was just angry. Plus, I wasn’t even wrong.
“Shut up! You did something during the Fleur International Design Competition too, didn’t you? From

anything suspicious, I’ll terminate your credit card.”
“Dominic, you can’t do this to me,” she reached out to him.
Maya became extremely on edge when she realized her card was about to be terminated. If she was

“Dominic, I’m sorry. Please forgive me this time.”

“Ms. Bowen, regarding the demolition payment, I’ve realized that the finance department has made a
mistake after investigating. The money has been transferred to your account now. I sincerely apologize
for overlooking this issue.”
Mia knew he was in charge of the demolition program. She searched up his profile in the company’s
system, and she saw his picture.
Well, it seemed like her method earlier worked.
Nonetheless, she pretended to keep her cool as she replied coldly, “Let me make a call and check.”
“Sure, no problem.”
She turned around and called Patricia.
