Chapter 306 Mixing And Mingling

• As we walked through the lavish home, Mia greeted everyone with a warm smile, introducing me as her beloved daughter. The opulent surroundings seemed to amplify the tension, and Timothy's presence became an unspoken challenge. Mia, however, glossed over any potential discomfort, determined to maintain a facade of familial bliss.
• All around, I felt the scrutinizing eyes of Timothy's family on me. The air was thick with unspoken judgment, and I couldn't bear the weight of their assumptions. Looping my arm through Timothy's, I made a silent statement of solidarity. It was a small act, but it spoke volumes about our commitment to each other.
• Timothy leaned in, his voice low and filled with concern. "Evie, maybe it would've been better for me to lay low tonight. My family members can be…opportunistic when it comes to drama."
