Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Two Versions

The Volvo was parked in the seaview villa’s yard. Anton Miller composed himself, holding a bouquet of lilies and a custom-made small cake as he got out of the car.

He was exceptionally handsome, his beautiful eyes as deep blue as falling stars from the sky.

”Ms. Tancred, where’s Miss Lane?” He asked gently upon entering the living room.

”She’s upstairs.”

”Alright.”

Anton Miller hurried upstairs.

On the second-floor balcony, amidst the dim greenery and lush vines swaying gently in the breeze, the view was exceptionally good.

Mia Lane sat in a rocking chair, watching Anton Miller return.

Soon, footsteps could be heard approaching; she lifted her gaze to him.

”These lilies are for you; this variety is hard to find, only one bouquet per week.” He placed the flowers in her arms. ”You can keep them in your bedroom and let them grow in water.”

”Thank you.” Mia Lane watched him open the cake box, ”I went to the kindergarten today, but Gigi and Dolly were on a long break, so I didn’t see them.”

He started cutting the cake, ”No rush. I’ve already got someone investigating the kids’ whereabouts; we’ll have results soon.”

”What good is it to investigate?” Mia Lane felt perplexed. ”They’ve either been sent abroad or are under someone’s protection.”

”As long as we find out where they are, I’ll have someone go and snatch them.” Anton Miller was not joking; he seemed fully confident in handling a fight. ”I’ll arrange a private jet to pick you up. You take them and leave Riventhal first; I’ll come to find you after I finish filming this drama.”

Snatch?

Mia Lane was slightly stunned, ”...”

”I mean it; I’ve already dispatched someone to investigate.”

But this seemed to be the only way.

Getting Justin Kingston to let them go—he wouldn’t agree.

Moreover, he’s lost his memory.

To be with her kids, Mia Lane agreed with Anton Miller’s plan.

She was not going to let Monica Usher become their stepmother.

The next morning.

An insomniac Justin Kingston arrived at the CEO’s office; Finn Morgan also arrived early because today they were to discuss cooperation with Aegis Group, and people from Jeo Group would also be there.

Both sides had high expectations for their respective companies, so neither dared to slack off.

Finn Morgan handed him three project proposals, ”CEO Kingston, here you are.”

Justin Kingston took them, doing a final review.

Clack, clack, clack.

The sound of high heels drew near, and Justin Kingston looked up to see Monica Usher enter.

Her complexion was a bit aloof; she had her hair tied up today, instantly exuding the aura of a career woman.

She came to a halt before his desk, tossing a stack of photographs onto the table, ”See for yourself!”

Justin Kingston glanced down indifferently and saw the girl in the photo—it was Mia Lane.

But the man next to her... was unfamiliar.

He picked up the photos, flipping through them, his eyes growing darker with each one.

”I don’t know if Hailey Hale’s words yesterday stirred up any ripples in your heart,” Monica Usher began. ”But I know you might be curious about the Mia Lane she mentioned.”

”This woman here, she’s the biological mother of Gigi and Dolly.” She started to defame her, ”She climbed into your bed through scheming, gave birth to a child whom you didn’t care for, always wanting to use the kids to extort money.”

”She was the one who came between us and then cheated!”

Justin Kingston’s thoughts were somewhat numb. What on earth was going on?

The version from the mayor’s daughter was different, yet they both had photographic proof...

Who was this man?

Seeing Justin Kingston frown with a strained expression, Monica Usher seized the opportunity to continue, ”It’s a rather humiliating matter for you. I didn’t want to bring it up, but I’m worried you’ll be swayed and persist in your mistake.”

”Justin, this marriage has to happen! If you abandon your engagement for an undeserving woman, the whole world will laugh at you.”

Justin Kingston had no memories of Mia Lane, yet he didn’t dislike her.

He felt the same unfamiliarity with Monica Usher but always wanted to remain distant.

”You and your mother originally had a great relationship,” Monica Usher continued, fanning the flames. ”You used to fulfill all of your mom’s wishes and were known as the most filial son in Riventhal.”

She said, ”But because of this Mia Lane, you and your mother strained your relationship. Your mother couldn’t eat or sleep, refusing medications for the sake of our marriage.”

At the door, Gigi and Dolly boiled with anger upon hearing Monica Usher slander their mother.

Dolly almost rushed in to refute her but was quickly pulled back to the staircase by Gigi, ”Shhh, watch me.”
