As Mia put away her documents, she tutted and remarked, “Shelly, how is there no limit to your
stupidity? Haven’t you learned your lesson from thest time?
“Did youe here so that I can give you a sound beating again? This exins thements people
make behind your back. I get it now.”
Shelly stomped her feet in rage. “I’m going to kill you, Mia!”
Liam red menacingly at Shelly as he growled, “Go on. Let’s see if you dare. Do it, and I’ll see if I can
give your stic surgeon another chance to give you a new nose.”
Terrified, Shelly shielded her nose and shut her mouth.
Mia said to Liam, “Let’s go. Aunt Patricia told me not to spend time with fools.”
Smoke wasing out of Shelly’s ears. She secretly took a photo of Mia and Liam from behind before
calling Maya. “Maya, didn’t you tell the head of the organizingmittee to close registrations a day
early to stop Mia from joining?”
“That’s right,” Maya replied. “I spoke to the head of themittee. The registration period should’ve
closed
yesterday.”
“Well, I came over today just so I couldugh at Mia, but guess what I saw?” Shelly huffed. “The
registration period didn’t end yesterday. Today’s thest day, and because of that, that bitch Mia got to
ridicule me! I was
so humiliated!”
“That’s impossible.”
Maya frowned. How could this be? She had already given her instructions to the person in charge.
“Maya, you should check to see what went wrong. Get the guy to reject Mia’s application and ban her
from joining thepetition. I must get even with her!” Shelly insisted.
After ending the call, Maya called the head of the organizingmittee and asked sternly, “Didn’t I tell
you to close the registrations for thepetition yesterday?”
“I was going to do as you instructed, Ms. Lane, but Mr. Lane specifically said we’re not allowed to close
the
registrations a day early.
“We’re to follow the deadline that had been set in advance. We had no choice but toply with the
order,” the person exined.
After hearing that, Maya ended the call and threw the document she was holding onto the floor.
She cursed to herself. Everything had been going so smoothly. Why did something happen at thest
minute to ruin her n?
All she could do was seethe in rage at how lucky Mia was.
Maya knew that Dominic didn’t like other people messing around at work, so she dared not do anything
too
She had no choice but to swallow her anger and ept this oue. She called Shelly and exined
the
situation.
Shelly was furious. “Well, it’s whatever. After all, Mia barely knows anything about interior design
anyway. Even if she manages to register for thepetition, she won’t make it past the first round!”
Maya agreed with Shelly, Plus, she would keep a close eye on the first round and make sure Mia had
no chance to stand out from other contestants.
She wanted Mia to spend the rest of her life in poverty!
“Maya, I’ve got something to tell you. A man apanied Mia to the venue just now. It seemed like
they were pretty close. Maybe he’s Mia’s new boyfriend,” Shelly spected.
Maya’s eyes lit up. “What did he look like?”
“I took a photo of them from behind. The man was wearing a mask and a hat. He was being so
secretive-just like a celebrity in disguise-but I’m sure it’s because he’s not fit to be seen in public. Do
you want to take a
look at the photo?”
“No need, but make sure you don’t let Timothy see this photo. Otherwise, he’ll definitely misunderstand
Mia,” Maya said meaningfully before ending the call.
She figured the foolish Shelly would’ve gotten the hint.
True enough, Shelly was pondering Maya’s words. If Timothy found out about the photo, he would be
infuriated!
That would mean hell for Mia, right?
Shelly’s eyes shed viciously. She immediately sent the photo to Timothy. “Timothy, Mia came to
register for thepetition today, and I saw her being very intimate with a man! I doubt they’re just
ordinary friends!”
Once that was done, Shelly scoffed. She was sure Mia was done for now.
Timothy had been busy with work when he received the message from Shelly. When he saw the photo,
his eyes darkened.
After staring at it for quite some time, he couldn’t figure out who the man was.
He sent the photo to Heath before setting his phone down and saying, “Find out who that man is.”
Heath nced at the photo. “Mr. Barrett, it’s not going to be easy to identify him with just a photo of him
from behind.”
“Just check the security footage. Must I teach you these things?” Timothy snapped.

He took another look at the photo. Mia was smiling as she looked at the man beside her.
The smile on her face made Timothy feel quite annoyed.
