Chapter 86
The sky was veiled in a haze, casting a grayish hue, while the Sullivan family zed with lights,
illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.
Michael paced anxiously in the living room, sweat dripping down his forehead. Mia, in a fit of rage,
swept everything off the coffee table, sending objects crashing to the floor. The once pristine living
room nowy in disarray, with items strewn haphazardly in every corner.
Mia’s fiery temperament caught Michael off guard, but he quicklyposed himself and said, “Mia,
perhaps you should reach out to Mr. Wilson. Your name is stered all over the inte in these news
articles, and it’s detrimental to your future. You’ve worked tirelessly to build a reputation during your
years abroad, and we can’t let it crumble now.”
Mia was well aware of the gravity of the situation. She couldn’t afford to be affected by it. Years of
relentless effort would be
in vain
Her opportunity to pursue dance overseas had been orchestrated by Henry, who had paved the way for
her to achieve remarkable sess and garner numerous awards. The reasons behind her
aplishments were known to those in the
know.
Michael would never have attained such a position based solely on his abilities.
It was thanks to the unwavering favor of Henry that she had received preferential treatment. She had
even taken the initiative to secretly study psychology, gaining insight into Henry’s mind and winning his
heart. In the presence of Henry, when he was still alive, Mia had tearfully appealed to him, confessing
her growing affection for Trevon. However, Trevon, being aloof and unapproachable, did not allow
anyone to get close to him. Mia hoped that Henry would intervene and y. the role of matchmaker.
Unable to resist Mia’s persistent charms, Henry eventually yielded to her pleas and reluctantly
approached Trevon.
Mia vividly remembered the day when Henry invited Trevon to their home for dinner, although Hackett
was also present.
Henry disyed exceptional warmth during the meal, although he seemed slightly embarrassed as he
ventured, “Trevon, you must be around 20 years old now, am I correct?”
Trevon,cking emotional intelligence, didn’t catch the insinuation. But Hackett, who had experienced
an early romance,ughed and remarked, “Henry, are you ying matchmaker for Trevon? Are you
aspiring to be a professional matchmaker?”
Henry sternly shot Hackett, Tm merely considering that Trevon is of a suitable age to start dating. Don’t
think I don’t know about your multiple girlfriends, changing them like socks.”
Hackett, quick with his words, quipped back, “Well, why not let him have a taste of the dating scene?
Maybe he’ll find the perfect granddaughter-inw for you”
Henry couldn’t be bothered by Hackett’s banter and focused on Trevon’s face. The young and reserved
Trevon, catching the intense scrutiny, finally grasped the underlying meaning.
With polite manners, Trevon responded, “Mr. ckwell, I haven’t considered pursuing a romantic
rtionship at this time.”
Hackett, chewing on his food, couldn’t help but chuckle at Trevon’s reply, fully anticipating it.
Sitting beside them, Mia grew increasingly anxious, her fingers curling and tightly gripping her pants,
silently urging Henry
to intervene.
Henry shook his head, acknowledging Mia’s sincere fondness for Trevon. With a blend of resignation
and honesty, he expressed, “Trevon, finish your meal first. Afterward, join me for a few rounds of chess.
And Hackett, I’d like you to run an errand once you’re done eating.”
Reluctantly, Hackett consented, though he couldn’t help but wonder why his grandfather insisted on
sending him out when plenty of drivers and servants were avable. It was evident that his grandfather
intended to keep him away.
Reluctant to face the consequences of defying family authority, Hackett reluctantly gave in.
Upon his return, Hackett observed Mia casting enamored nces at Trevon while Henry smiled,
satisfied and pleased.
When they left the ckwell family, Hackett discovered Henry’s earnest plea to Trevon. He had asked
Trevon to give a rtionship with Mia a chance, assuring him they could end it if it didn’t work out
However, Hackett had experienced several rtionships and had a different perspective. He knew that
it would be hard to shake her off thoroughly once a woman like Mia got attached.
As Hackett had predicted, within a week of dating. Trevon had already mentioned breaking up multiple
times. However, Mia vehemently refused and even resorted to crying in front of Henry. This pattern
persisted for over a year.
It wasn’t until the year Trevon made up his mind to join the military that no amount of persuasion from
family members could change his decision.
Even Mia’s closest friends and Michael advised her to leave Trevon, warning her that joining the
military would mean Max
taking over thepany and a bleak future for her.
Mia finally took their advice to heart.
However, life was unpredictable, and Mia never imagined that Max would be such a disappointment,
incapable of achieving anything substantial. Even if Theo and Henry had such intentions, Max might
not have possessed the necessary skills and capabilities.

Recalling the past events, Mia couldn’t help but harbor some resentment toward Michael.
He had persistently urged her to end her rtionship with Trevon, iming that joining the military
would end his prospects and that he would never achieve anything significant. Michael had convinced
her that even if Trevon returned, he would never rise to a position of power within the Wilson family.
These thoughts fueled Mia’s anger as she red at Michael, her face twisted with a malevolent
expression. “It’s all because of you. Things wouldn’t have ended like this if you hadn’t persuaded me to
break up.”
Michael, however, held a different perspective. He believed that Mr. Wilson was young and not yet fully
matured. He was easily swayed by the arrangements made by Henry. Michael also recalled that Mr.
Wilson had mentioned the possibility of breaking up, and Mia had shed countless tears. Mia stubbornly
refused to ept the inevitable, while Mr. Wilson remained
distant and aloof
Michael attempted to offer words of constion, ‘Mia, none of us could have foreseen what would
unfold. You cannot guarantee that over all those years. Trevon wouldn’t have eventually initiated a
breakup. Even with Henry’s influence, he may have granted Henry a favor once, but there’s no
guarantee he would have done it again.”
However, Mia remained obstinate, refusing to listen to reason. Fuming angrily, she snatched her bag
and stormed out of the Sullivan family, her high heels echoing with frustration as she left.
By now, the entire city of Athana likely knew she wasn’t indeed the ckwell family’s biological
granddaughter.
After contemting, her thoughts turned to Emily, who had been by her side throughout the ordeal.
And then, she couldn’t help but think of one person in particr. Determined, she decided to pay a visit
to the Wilson Group.
Driving toward the Wilson Group building.
it stood tall andmanding in one of Athana’s most prestigious locations. The towering floors gave
the impression that they could prate the very heavens.
Mia had meticulously applied her makeup, donned a limited-edition suit, and strutted high heels. She
stood confidently before the Wilson Group building with a designer handbag dangling from her wrist
and her chestnut curls cascading down. her back. A mischievous smile yed on her lips.
This was her inaugural visit to the Wilson Group, her first visit since Mr. Wilson assumed control of the
never reached such towering heights. In three years, Mr. Wilson had undeniably propelled thepany
to a new echelon, just as the rumors had whispered. With a self-assured stride, Mia stepped inside the
building. Approaching the reception desk, she rapped her fingers on the counter and nced at the
receptionist disdainfully. “Take me to your CEO”
The receptionist, well-versed in maintaining professional poise, met Mia’s request with a perplexed
expression. Another infatuated individual determined to confront the CEO in the early hours of the day.
shing a polite smile, she inquired, “May I have yourst name, Miss? I’ll check for any scheduled
appointment.”
Mia’s expression darkened at the mention of an appointment. “Do I look like someone who needs an
appointment? Just tell Jim toe down here.”
The receptionist sensed the woman’s potential connection to the CEO, but she disliked her demeanor.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t grant you ess without an appointment. If you know Mr. Hawk, kindly reach out
to him personally. Only if Mr. Hawk insists on your presence can we proceed.”
Mia, already harboring frustration early in the morning, grew even more angry at being underestimated
by the receptionist. “And what’s your name?”
The receptionist straightened her back, showing no sign of fear. “Hello, my name is Ste Brooks.”
Mia enunciated each word precisely, “Very well, Ste, I’ll remember you. Just wait and see. With that,
she dialed Jim’s number.
Meanwhile, Jim was chatting with a few secretaries in the Secretary department when he noticed Mia’s
iing call. He hesitated for a moment, contemting whether to answer or not
After a brief moment of thought, he made a silent gesture and entered the CEO’s office. The man was
fully engaged in handling documents, exuding his usual cold demeanor.
Jim cleared his throat and asked, “Should I take the call? Miss Mia’s on the line.” Deep inside, he knew
that answering meant distancing himself from Mrs. Wilson.
The man continued his work without pausing, considering it a regr urrence. After all, he had
already terminated the partnership with the Sullivan family, so it was only a matter of time before Mia
showed up at thepany. She had called a
few days ago but he deliberately chose not to answer
Exhausted by the constant ringing, he cut her off and blocked her number!
Hence her vist to thepany was to be expected,
In a cold tone Just hang up”
Jim ended the call but it didn’t take long before has phone started ringing again. The constant calls
made it seem like he was burdened with debts and relentlessly pursued by creditors
Trevon’s brow furrowed as he listened to the constant ringing of his phone Is she downstairs’ Tell her to
go to the
conference room”
Having over heard the secretaries dos using the muter le Jim feltpelled to share the truth with
Trevon “Mr. Wilson Miss Mix has been a treating hip bie the post hour. The news reveals that the may
not be a legitimate deu erat of the ckwell family and there are an photos ofisaning that suggest a

Ju couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction Firally someone had exposed the audacious facade of
this fake heiress
Trevon’s eyes narrowed with curiosity and concern at the sound of this revtion “Someone exposed
her Who was it?”
“Yes, and Emily from the Foster family is also making headlines. The rumors indicate the has been
involved with multiple affluent elites, engaging in rendezvous at various hotels
After a brief moment. Trevon let out a chuckle. It’s quite something that these two individuals have
managed to earn the wrath of the same person
But how did she manage to expose them? Did she take matters into her own hands and contact the
media?
Five minutester. Mia walked into the elevator with arrogance, her head held high, and her chest
puffed out. Along the way. she shot a piercing re at the front desk
