ude couldn’t believe Anthony had the audacity to even discuss recing Mia. Indeed, he had quite
the
nerve!
After all, this music show was originally intended by ude as an apology gift for Mia.
How dare Anthony suggest recing her?
The next day at college, Mia received a call from Felix’s defensewyer, Ainsley Hobb. “Mr. Felix and
Mrs. Quilter are proposing a settlement. What are your thoughts on this?”
“What? Felix has the nerve to talk about a settlement? Where is his dignity? Besides, even if I don’t
press charges against him, he’ll still go to jail for financial crimes.”
Ainsley coughed nervously. “My client, Mr. Felix, is hoping for your forgiveness, given your history
together.
“If you could consider lending him some money, he wouldn’t need to serve jail time. He assures you of
repayment once he’s released.”
Mia chuckled. “I’m not interested in a settlement. If there are any further issues, please contact my
With that, Mia ended the call. She had no intention of getting involved with Felix. It would only be a
waste
of her time.
Shortly after arriving at college. Mia was summoned to Riley’s office. “Mia, the college would like to
discuss the setup of the hall…”
“Ms. Matterson, I still want to give it a try. Despite my limited experience with the piano, I have a
genuine passion for music, and I believe I have some understanding of the instrument.”
After Mia finished speaking, Riley paused.
“Mia, you’re overthinking this. The college isn’t nning to rece you.
“However, due to Mr. Jenkin’s dissatisfaction, you’ll be sent to the Music School for piano lessons. A
dedicated teacher will instruct you. Are you open to that?”
“Absolutely,” Mia replied without hesitation. How could she say no to such an opportunity?
After attending her lectures, Mia made her way to the Music School for her piano lesson.
It was her first time attending a ss there, and she observed that her ssmates all appeared quite
refined.
After the ss, Mia was approached by her piano teacher, Drew Kidman. “You must be Mia. Come with
me to the ssroom next door, I’ll teach you. Do you have any basic knowledge of the piano?”
“Just a little,” Mia replied.
“Then, would you mind ying your favorite no piece for me? Drew suggested.
Mia sat down at the piano, flooded with memories of the piece she had learned from Rowan Tilbury, the
director of her orphanage when she was a child.
During that time, Mia recalled how Rowan consistently praised her talent, yet there was always a hint of
sorrow in Rowan’s voice.
Mia understood why Rowan was sad–she couldn’t afford to learn the no back then.
Fortunately, everything was fine now.
Mia was grateful for Rowan’s guidance at the orphanage, especially since her favorite music piece was
the one Rowan had introduced her to.
Taking a deep breath, Mia relied on her memory and began to y the song Rowan had taught her.
As the piano’s melody resonated through the building, Maya, who had arrived at the college with
Anthony with intentions to cause trouble, stood outside in surprise.
The college seemed to hold Mia in high regard and was unwilling to rece her.
Anthony, having no other choice, reluctantly agreed to let Mia stay temporarily.
Maya, feeling somewhat puzzled, turned to Anthony. “Could we consider changing the venue or maybe
postponing the music show?”
It seemed like that could be an effective leverage.
Anthony shook his head. “No, Mr. Lane calledst night and insisted on holding the music show here.”
Maya found herself perplexed by ude’s behavior, yet she knew he wasn’t someone to back down
easily. Otherwise, she would have confronted him directly.
Very well, let Mia stay. She’ll embarrass herself at the music show regardless!

Suddenly, Maya heard a familiar melody echoing from the music building nearby.
Her expression darkened. “Who could be ying this piece here?”
Could it possibly be her?
