The next morning, Mia kept having a bad feeling about the day.


    Her hunch was telling her that something bad was going to happen.


    She took a cab to college. Riley spoke to her. “Mia, could you contact Dana?”


    “Dana? We hadn’t contacted each other since the day I found out she was the one who reported me


    anonymously. What happened to her?”


    “The management is investigating her and found that she had vited the rules before. In addition to


    the terrible effect caused by her anonymous report, we decided to expel her. We need her toe to


    sign the papers, but we can’t reach her.”


    Expel Dana?


    Mia didn’t expect the punishment to be this severe. She initially thought that it would end with a warning


    and a merit deduction.


    Noticing her hesitation, Riley continued, “Dana had previously vited the rules. She took and shared


    pictures of her roommate online. We’ve found irrefutable evidence beforeing to this decision.”


    Only then Mia realized that she had never known Dana’s character that well, which exined why she


    was betrayed by Dana.


    Mia nodded. “But I don’t have any news about her for now. I bet she doesn’t dare toe to me either.”


    “Okay. We’ve reported it to the cops. If you catch wind of her, please inform me about it.”


    Mia watched Riley leave. Then, she turned around and headed to the Music School. She entered the


    empty ssroom.

    The piano reminded her of when she and Dana yed the piano together. It felt like a dream.


    Someone scoffed. “What’s the matter? Still daydreaming of bing a pianist? Want to join the


    musicians that came performing that day? Someone of your level can never be one of them.”


    Hearing that, Mia turned to find Maya standing by the door.


    Mia responded indiffirectly, “You’re speaking as though you could be one of them.”


    “That’s because I don’t want to. Do you think I, Maya Lane, can’t?” Maya stared at Mia, trying to find a


    shadow of that little girl.


    However, Mia had changed a lotpared to her younger days. Only her eyes resembled a little to


    that of the little girl.


    Lucky for Maya, she managed to dig up information from Dana. Due to illness, Mia had forgotten her


    childhood in the orphanage.


    The only thing she remembered was the children’s song taught by the orphanage director.


    However, Maya was the only person who knew the meaning behind that song and she would never


    give Mia a hint. Let alone tell the Lanes about it.


    That way. Mia would never be able to return to the Lanes.


    Mia mocked, “But if my memories serve me right, someone was rejected by the musicians, though.


    Does


    she think that others don’t know about it?”


    That day. ude told Mia about how Maya wished to join the musicians but was rejected.


    Maya’s ego was bruised. She actually intended to buff herself up with empty talks, not expecting Mia to


    actually know the truth.


    Quickly, Maya veered the topic. “Even if I was rejected, there’s no way you’ll get in. I have been


    learning piano since I was young. My family hired the best pianists to be my teachers. As someone


    who has just started learning piano, you should wake up. You don’t have the talent for it.”


    Mia chuckled. “Right, I have just started learning piano, so what are you so afraid of?”


    That familiar smile conjured a childhood nightmare in Maya.


    At that time, the orphanage director favored Mia the most and kept praising her for her talent, believing


    that she would hit it big in the future.
