“Sorry, I’m tied up.” Mia stated.
She wasn’t keen on joining the group for a meal and socializing. After all, she was now expecting.
“Mia, this is a crucial project for our college. Aren’t you concerned at all?” Shelly inquired.
“Well, it’s none of my business,” Mia responded bluntly, displaying an indifferent expression.
Shelly found herself at a loss for words. It seemed as though Mia had undergone a complete transformation. She now held no strings that others could use to pull her in.
Gritting her teeth, Shelly remarked, “Mia, don’t let pride get the best of you.”
“Well, it does amuse me to see the frustration on your faces when you can’t tolerate me, yet you’re powerless to do anything about it. Farewell!” Mia declared with a smirk before casually walking
away.
Upon hearing this, Shelly became furious.
She turned to Maya, exclaiming. “That bitch just walked out on us. Dealing with Mia is becoming more challenging. What’s fueling her arrogance? She completely dismissed both of us.”
Maya’s expression darkened. She understood the source of Mia’s newfound arrogance–it
stemmed from Mia’s romantic involvement with both Connor and Linden.
Maya had underestimated Mia’s allure, but she had a plan to handle her.
After giving it some thought, Maya promptly dialed a number. “Hello, Mr. Skimmer, it’s Maya. I’ve heard about Vista Properties‘ plans to demolish and develop a piece of land in Bern City.
“I’m eager to gain some hands–on experience. Would it be possible for me to visit the branch office and observe the process?”
On the other end of the phone, Randy responded promptly. “Certainly, Ms. Lane. Feel free to visit the company at your convenience to inspect and experience our work culture.”
“In that case, I’ll appreciate everyone’s hospitality for the next few days.”
After ending the call, Maya spoke with determination, “I won’t allow Mia to continue being so arrogant.”
With a triumphant expression, Shelly chimed in, “Maya, this is the perfect opportunity to teach Mia a lesson. If the demolition project falls through, she’ll surely come begging on her knees.”

Maya displayed a hint of disdain. Did Mia, someone from a lower social class, truly believe she could compete with her?
Meanwhile, Mia returned home and was surprised to find her three older brothers sitting on the couch, all eyeing her.
Mia hesitated for a moment before asking, “Claude, Jason, Liam, what brings you all here?”
Liam was the first to speak, “Well, Mia, I’ve got some exciting news. I just won a million dollars in
the lottery.”
“Are you serious?”
Mia was momentarily taken aback, never expecting a stroke of luck like winning the lottery in her own family. She flashed a warm smile and said, “Congratulations, Liam.”
Liam downplayed it, saying, “It’s not a big deal. I invested that sum in Linden’s entertainment company, and conveniently, the company is on the verge of going public. I might as well consider myself a wealthy person now.”
He
rubbed his nose and added, “Meanwhile, Jason has ventured into his own business, and it’s raking in a decent amount of money.”
Claude continued, “Mia, I’ve also established multiple piano education institutions in Nord City.. The venture has evolved into a franchised business, and as a result, I’ve achieved financial independence.”
Upon hearing the news of her brothers‘ newfound wealth, Mia blinked and teased, “Damn, I’m suddenly feeling a bit envious.
“Why does it seem like everyone’s striking it rich, and I’m the only one left out? Nevertheless. I genuinely feel happy for you guys!”
Liam affectionately patted her head, saying, “Mia, going forward, you won’t have to worry about money. Come back to Nord City with us and enjoy a carefree life as a wealthy young lady.”
After the kidnapping incident, Liam noticed that Mia had become overly cautious in her approach
to life.
No longer willing to maintain pretenses, he resolved to be a steadfast pillar of support for Mia.
