Shelly looked a little diffident. "What nonsense are you spouting?"How did Eva know about that?Mia didn't expect to hear about something like that. She pulled out her phone to show Shelly her invitation. "Take a good look at this—I'm attending the awards ceremony because my capabilities got me to where I am."I'm not like some people who only know how to pull strings and buy their way in because they don't have any skills to back themselves up."Shelly's blood boiled. She hadn't expected Mia to make it to the finals. She looked at the evening gowns the salesperson held. "Hey, you. Wrap all three of those dresses up for me."The salesperson looked conflicted. Shelly's expression darkened. "Did you not hear me? Wrap those dresses up for me. Don't you know who I am?""Yes, Ms. Barrett.""Hold it!" Eva stopped the salesperson. "We came first."Shelly laughed derisively. "So what? It's not like you can afford them. Why are you trying to make yourself seem better than you are?""W

Shelly screeched, "What do you mean the transaction won't go through? How can that be?""It just won't, Ms. Barrett."Shelly felt embarrassed. She'd bought a number of things this month, so she'd already been close to her limit. That, coupled with the fact that Mia had deliberately led her into a trap, would definitely mean that she'd exceeded her limit.Shelly put on a serious expression. "Why don't you just wrap these things up for me first? Put them on my tab. I'll settle the bill later.""We're not allowed to do that, Ms. Barrett. All customers have to settle the bill before taking the items home," the salesperson said.Shelly gave her a tight slap. "I'm a member of the Barrett family! This whole mall belongs to my family; would I really stoop low enough to steal these things from you?"The salesperson's cheek turned red and swollen from the slap. She didn't know what to do.Mia couldn't take it anymore. "The mall's rules were set by the Barrett family, Shelly. It doesn't ma

"How is she considered a customer?" Shelly shrieked. Forcing her to apologize to Mia made her feel worse than getting killed.Timothy said coldly, "As a member of the Barrett family, your actions have severely impacted our image. If you don't apologize, you won't be allowed to set foot in any of the Barrett family's malls in the future. Security, get her out of here!"He was a ruthless, decisive leader. He didn't give Shelly any leeway.When Shelly saw the security guards approaching, she knew Timothy was being serious. If she were to get kicked out today and be barred from entering any of the Barrett Group's malls, she would be the laughingstock of the city.In the end, Shelly shuffled over to Mia reluctantly. Her eyes were red as she glared at Mia and snarled, "I'm sorry!"Mia raised an eyebrow and gave Timothy a surprised look. She hadn't expected him to actually force Shelly to apologize to her. Or was he only doing this for the Barrett Group's sake?Eva asked calmly, "Is tha

Before Mia could say anything, Eva beat her to it. "For an awards ceremony, of course."Awards ceremony? Timothy recalled the list of finalists for the Fleur International Design Competition. Indeed, Mia had gotten through to the finals. He hadn't expected it.When Laura had insisted on getting Mia a spot in the competition, Timothy hadn't believed that she would get far at all. His gaze landed on Mia as he said in a low voice, "Congratulations."Mia looked calm. "Thanks."Timothy switched tacks. "But that evening gown doesn't suit you.""Why not? I think it looks pretty nice.""It's revealing too much of your back."Mia was lost for words. The dress had been designed to have cutouts in the back. Of course, it would reveal her back.Eva glanced at it, then said, "It does. Let's look at some other ones."Dominic and the others would probably flip if they saw Mia wearing something so revealing. It'd be better to have her wear something more conservative.Mia was given several m

"Timothy, how could you stand up for Mia? I was so humiliated," Shelly complained.Timothy retracted his gaze and said coldly, "If I catch you doing this again, don't even think of setting foot in any of the Barrett Group's malls in the future. I'm a man of my word.""How can you do this to me, Timothy? I have shares in the company, too.""Because I'm the one calling the shots now. It's bad enough that you don't contribute to the company at all. There's no way I'll allow you to drag the company down." With that, Timothy turned and left.Shelly was left behind. She stomped her foot angrily but didn't dare to rebuke Timothy. After storming out of the store, she called Maya. "I need to tell you something, Maya. Mia actually got into the finals of the competition.""Really?" Maya had been too busy with her work to pay attention. She only checked the list of finalists that had been sent to her through WhatsApp. Sure enough, she saw Mia's name on the list.Her expression turned cold. "

Timothy's car had pulled up by the road. The paparazzi had their cameras aimed at it.The door opened, and Timothy got out. He wore a dark suit, and it made him look mature and handsome. As soon as he got out, a pair of heels followed closely behind. A woman in a white gown got out after him.Mia watched as Maya got out of Timothy's car. Obviously, they'd come together.Her pupils constricted, and she felt a little gloomy. Still, she quickly composed herself. It was only normal for them to come together. After all, they were supposed to be a match made in heaven.Liam opened the door. When he made his appearance, one of the paparazzi cried, "Linden Lane is here!"The other paparazzi swarmed the car when they heard this. Liam kept a low profile and rarely made public appearances when he wasn't filming. He didn't even shoot many commercials, let alone accept interviews.The paparazzi surrounded the car."Mr. Lane, why are you at the Fleur International Design Competition?""Mr. L

Maya walked over to Timothy. "What are you looking at?"She followed his line of sight and saw Mia. Her expression turned ugly. "I didn't expect Ms. Bowen to be so capable. It's not easy to get into the finals, after all. I found it weird earlier, but everything's clear now that I see who her companion is."Timothy turned to look at her. "What do you mean?""The man beside her is my cousin, Liam Lane. He's also an award-winning actor from Nord City. I didn't expect to see him here, nor did I expect him to be here with Ms. Bowen. He's always kept a low profile and never had any women in his life."Maya said these things on purpose. Sure enough, she saw Timothy's expression turn icier. She shut her mouth and looked in Mia's direction. A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes as she wondered when Mia had gotten to know Liam.Liam and his brothers were actually quite distant from her and her family. Maya had heard that it was partly due to the daughter that had gone missing and partly

Mia lowered her eyes to conceal her true emotions at Shelly's words. She'd already signed the divorce papers; who Timothy wanted to cheer on and be with was none of her business.Later, no matter what else Shelly said, Mia ignored her. Soon, Maya walked on stage to announce the commencement of the ceremony. "As we all know, there have been some changes to the rules for this year's competition."There will only be ten winners, which means one of the 11 finalists will leave with nothing. For the sake of fairness, the designers' names will be concealed when the judging is conducted. The announcement of the winners will also be different—we'll start from the tenth place."Mia looked at the panel of judges. Timothy was among them. Obviously, he was one of the judges.If she were being completely honest, she was quite nervous. At this moment, she received a WhatsApp message from Liam. "Don't worry. You'll be fine."Half an hour later, the judging ended. On stage, Maya announced the resu
