Maya’s expression changed. “Dominic, I can exin this. I had nothing to do with this; someone else


    messed up somewhere.”


    “But you’re the one running the show. It’s your responsibility to bear.”

    When Dominic had learned about Mia going missing for a short while because she was so upset over


    being eliminated, he’d been so panicked that he’d almost rushed over to the ceremony to stand up for


    her. Fortunately, Eva had stopped him.


    It was also fortunate that the truth had been revealed and that Mia had turned out to be Zoe. There was


    no doubt she’d won first ce based on her skill.


    Dominic didn’t want Mia to suffer any grievances, especially since this was such an important


    competition.


    Maya wanted to continue exining herself, but the call had already been disconnected. She knew


    how decisive and ruthless Dominic was, so she didn’t dare to call him to continue arguing with him.


    On the outside, it seemed like she lived a morous life with the Lane family, but the truth was far from


    it. Aside from their crazy old grandmother, no one else truly cared about her. Dominic and his brothers


    had always treated her politely, but it was only because she was their sister’s recement.


    This was why she was so obsessed with marrying Timothy. It was the only way to guarantee she could


    live a good life in the future!


    Outside the venue for the awards ceremony, the paparazzi had been pushed back by the security


    guards. Mia and Liam immediately hailed a cab to leave.


    Inside the car, Mia saw Timothy leave the venue as well. He stood straight and tall, and his steps were


    confident. Shortly after, Maya ran after him and stopped him.


    At the sight of this, Mia averted her gaze. She didn’t look outside anymore. The cab soon left the


    venue.


    Liam had also noticed Timothy making his exit with Maya, but it had nothing to do with him. After all,


    he’d never acknowledged Maya as his cousin. She was nothing but a recement.


    Mia looked up. “Liam, do you and Maya know each other?”


    “Nope. There’s a chance she knows Linden, but that’s none of my business. After all, I’m just a body


    double. Many people actually think we’re twins, you know. Look at how those paparazzi thought I was


    him!”


    “If that’s the case, will this affect you? What if Linden hears about this and is upset with you?”


    Liam scratched his head. “Nah, he won’t. We’re on pretty good terms.”


    How could he possibly be upset with himself?


    “Okay. That makes me feel a lot better.”


    After returning home, Mia went out for a celebratory meal with Patricia, Dominic, and Eva. Liam’s


    manager called him away halfway through the meal. It probably had to do with what had happened at


    the awards ceremony.


    After the meal, Mia returned home and ced the trophy on the table. Then, she took a photo of it and


    posted it on her Instagram. The caption read, “I got the trophy I missed out on three years ago.”


    She got in bed after taking her folic acid. She ced a hand on her belly. Now that she’d won first ce


    in thepetition, she could probably get a higher–paying job.


    Shortly after Mia posted the photo on her Instagram, Gina called her to congratte her. They chatted


    for a while.


    Later, Mia received a WhatsApp message from her senior in college, Felix Quilter. “Congrattions on


    winning thepetition, Mia. I didn’t expect you to be Zoe. I heard that you n on returning to college


    toplete your education. Would you be interested in working part–time at my studio?”


    Mia was surprised by this. Back in their college days, Felix had been popr. Everyone knew who he


    was. It turned out he’d set up his own studio after graduation.


    She replied, “I haven’t designed anything for three years, though.”


    “The fact that you won first ce in thepetition is enough to show what you’re capable of. If you’re


    willing to work part–time here, you won’t even need toe in on a regr basis. We can negotiate


    yourpensation and benefits,”


    Mia thought about it. Working part–time wouldn’t be a bad idea. At least her hours would be rtively


    flexible. She replied, “Alright, then. I’ll take you up on your offer.”


    The next day, she saw a message Gina had sent to her. “Be honest with me–what


    Mia saw one of the trending topics on Twitter. It was about the award–winning actor, Linden Lane’s new


    rtionship.
