Ralph gazed at Mia in disbelief, struggling to comprehend the situation.

While he had heard rumors about the long-lost heiress of the Lane family being discovered after many years, she had always maintained a low profile and seldom made public appearances.

Consequently, Ralph had no idea what the supposed heiress looked like.

Besides, his social standing in Nord City was far from that of the Lane family, and he had never crossed paths with the rumored heiress.

To Ralph, Mia was merely a woman who had been expelled from the Barrett family.

Now, she had suddenly risen to the position of heiress in the influential Lane family of Nord City! This sudden transformation left Ralph feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Ralph found himself utterly defenseless against the barrage of slaps.

He continued to mutter curses and threats toward Mia, attempting to salvage his dignity.
