Mia’s curiosity was piqued. “What exactly is this gift? Can you give me a hint?”
Liam shook his head. “Disclosing it now would spoil the surprise. At the very
least, before you leave Bern City, we want to bring this chapter to a perfect conclusion,”
he explained.
The brothers exchanged meaningful looks.
Connor, Claude, and Jason’s eyes shimmered with mutual understanding. Dominic had
already inquired about
Mia’s relationship with Timothy when he arrived earlier today; it seemed certain matters
could no longer be concealed.
Connor had reluctantly told Dominic about Mia’s secret marriage to Timothy for three
years but had refrained from revealing her pregnancy.
After all, it was something Mia had

entrusted him to keep confidential, and he felt obligated to uphold his professional ethics
as a doctor.
After discussing the matter, they unanimously decided to unveil Mia’s status as the Lane
family heiress at the upcoming graduation ceremony banquet.

Dominic’s tone was resolute as he
declared, “That’s right, Mia. I promise to rectify all the injustices you’ve suffered over the
years.”
He couldn’t help but feel a surge of resentment toward Timothy.
Mia sensed that her brothers‘ attitudes were somewhat peculiar, but she couldn’t, quite
pinpoint why.
As the university’s graduation ceremony banquet approached, there were
discussions about distinguished guests attending as well as plans for a charity auction.
The next day, Eva took Mia shopping for clothes at the mall.

“Now that your brothers‘ businesses are thriving, don’t hesitate to purchase whatever you
like,” Eva encouraged Mia as she handed her a VIP membership card.
“Here, take this. With this card, you won’t need to wait in line or make appointments when
shopping at this store in the future.”
Accepting the card gratefully, Mia browsed through the racks and selected a dress. “Eva,
this dress would look
stunning on you. Why don’t you try it on? ” she proposed.
Eva couldn’t resist Mia’s suggestion and headed to the fitting room with the dress in hand.
Meanwhile, Mia tried on her chosen
dress and examined herself in the mirror. Though the dress was undeniably
attractive, its snug fit accentuated her stomach a bit.
As a pregnant woman, Mia preferred clothing with a looser fit.

“Wow, Mia, is that really you? Can you even afford to shop in this store?” Shelly and
Sharon entered unexpectedly, clearly surprised to see Mia there.
Sharon’s demeanor turned cold. “Mia, this isn’t a place where you belong. Just like how
you’re not a suitable match for our family.
“Even if you happen to acquire things through luck, they won’t be yours forever, ” she
remarked sharply.
Mia folded her arms defiantly. “Who said I can’t afford it?”
Upon uttering those words, she passed the card to the store clerk, Penny Marsh, and
instructed, “Please wrap it up.”
Observing the card in Mia’s possession, Shelly couldn’t contain her surprise.” Isn’t that a
VIP membership card, Mia? How did you manage to acquire it? Did you steal it or
something?”
Equally taken aback, Sharon chimed in, It must be stolen.”

Shelly nodded in accord. “I believe so too. After all, Aunt Sharon, even you couldn’t get
your hands on this card.”
Sharon’s pride suffered a blow. She had once coveted the card herself, but Laura had
advised against extravagance, causing Sharon to miss out on the opportunity.
However, to her surprise, Mia had managed to acquire that card!
Sharon shot Penny an indignant glare. ” She’s nothing but a pauper. How could she
possibly own that card? You’d better verify her identity to avoid any complications,” she
insisted.
Even Mia hadn’t realized the significance of the membership card Eva had given her.
Shelly chuckled and remarked, “Mia, do you honestly think you just stumbled upon a
regular membership card?
“This card requires an annual expenditure exceeding one million

dollars, and it also demands celebrity authentication for approval.
“Anyone in possession of this card is far from ordinary. You may have just landed yourself
in trouble!”
