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

Mia barked out a laugh. "I don't need them, and I don't need you to interfere in my matters. Let go of me!""You'd better watch your attitude!" Timothy growled.As they fought, Maya's voice rang out. "Tim!"Mia watched as Maya and Shelly approached them from the other end of the corridor. At this moment, the grip on her wrist disappeared. Timothy retracted his hand.A trace of mockery flashed in Mia's eyes. He'd let go so quickly when he saw Maya coming. Was he afraid of her getting the wrong idea?Maya's gaze became colder when she saw Timothy's and Mia's linked hands. But on the surface, she smiled innocently. "I was looking for you everywhere, Tim. The judges are wanted for a discussion."Maya strode over and looked at Mia. "I'm sorry you didn't win anything this time, Ms. Bowen. You're pretty talented, though. Maybe you can try again next time."Mia didn't say anything. She looked at Maya coldly.Timothy turned away. "Let's go."Maya nodded. "Okay. I'll be right behind you

Timothy looked up. "A special prize for her?""Yeah. My brother called me earlier and called for a re-judging. I'm guessing it's because of Liam, but there's really no need for the judges to go through the judging again. It's not like there'll be a change in the results. That's why I've decided to set up a special prize for Mia. I don't really have a choice."After saying that, Maya sneaked a glance at Timothy's expression. Deep inside, she felt angry. She didn't understand why Dominic wanted her to do this, but she felt it had something to do with Liam. Then again, at least it would ensure Timothy wouldn't get back together with Mia.Timothy frowned and put the designs he held on the table. "Which ones are Mia's designs?""The judging's supposed to be done anonymously, Tim. I'm guessing that her designs were pretty bad for her to be eliminated." Maya calmly collected the designs on the table. "Thanks for your hard work, everyone. Let's leave things at this. I'll announce the resul

Shelly sighed. "Man, I'm so jealous that you have a brother who dotes on you so much."Maya smiled happily. "He really does. He's always worrying that I push myself too hard and that others will bully me."After expressing her envy again, Shelly turned to look at Mia. "What are you still doing here? Don't tell me you think you'll have a chance at winning something. Anyone with the slightest brains would've already left."Mia didn't respond to that. She noticed Timothy was looking at her with a hint of appraisal. She asked, "Why should I leave when the ceremony isn't over yet?"Shelly snorted. "I suppose that makes sense. It's a rare occasion for you to be able to attend high-end functions like this. Remember to take a few more photos so you can share them on your Instagram, or else you won't have any chances in the future."You're nothing now that you've left the Barrett family. Isn't that so, Timothy?"Timothy frowned. "No one will think you're a mute if you keep your mouth shut
