Chapter 50
Maya’s expression changed. “Dominic, I can explain this. I had nothing to do with this; someone else
messed up somewhere.”
“But you’re the one running the show. It’s your responsibility to bear.”
When Dominic had learned about Mia going missing for a short while because she was so upset over
being eliminated, he’d been so panicked that he’d almost rushed over to the ceremony to stand up for
her. Fortunately, Eva had stopped him.
It was also fortunate that the truth had been revealed and that Mia had turned out to be Zoe. There was
no doubt she’d won first place based on her skill.
Dominic didn’t want Mia to suffer any grievances, especially since this was such an important
competition.
Maya wanted to continue explaining herself, but the call had already been disconnected. She knew
how decisive and ruthless Dominic was, so she didn’t dare to call him to continue arguing with him.
On the outside, it seemed like she lived a glamorous life with the Lane family, but the truth was far from
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtit. Aside from their crazy old grandmother, no one else truly cared about her. Dominic and his brothers
had always treated her politely, but it was only because she was their sister’s replacement.
This was why she was so obsessed with marrying Timothy. It was the only way to guarantee she could
live a good life in the future!
Outside the venue for the awards ceremony, the paparazzi had been pushed back by the security
guards. Mia and Liam immediately hailed a cab to leave.
Inside the car, Mia saw Timothy leave the venue as well. He stood straight and tall, and his steps were
confident. Shortly after, Maya ran after him and stopped him.
At the sight of this, Mia averted her gaze. She didn’t look outside anymore. The cab soon left the
venue.
Liam had also noticed Timothy making his exit with Maya, but it had nothing to do with him. After all,
he’d never acknowledged Maya as his cousin. She was nothing but a replacement.
Mia looked up. “Liam, do you and Maya know each other?”
“Nope. There’s a chance she knows Linden, but that’s none of my business. After all, I’m just a body
double. Many people actually think we’re twins, you know. Look at how those paparazzi thought I was
him!”
“If that’s the case, will this affect you? What if Linden hears about this and is upset with you?”
Liam scratched his head. “Nah, he won’t. We’re on pretty good terms.”
How could he possibly be upset with himself?
“Okay. That makes me feel a lot better.”
After returning home, Mia went out for a celebratory meal with Patricia, Dominic, and Eva. Liam’s
manager called him away halfway through the meal. It probably had to do with what had happened at
the awards ceremony.
After the meal, Mia returned home and placed the trophy on the table. Then, she took a photo of it and
posted it on her Instagram. The caption read, “I got the trophy I missed out on three years ago.”
She got in bed after taking her folic acid. She placed a hand on her belly. Now that she’d won first place
in the competition, she could probably get a higher–paying job.
Shortly after Mia posted the photo on her Instagram, Gina called her to congratulate her. They chatted
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor a while.
Later, Mia received a WhatsApp message from her senior in college, Felix Quilter. “Congratulations on
winning the competition, Mia. I didn’t expect you to be Zoe. I heard that you plan on returning to college
to complete your education. Would you be interested in working part–time at my studio?”
Mia was surprised by this. Back in their college days, Felix had been popular. Everyone knew who he
was. It turned out he’d set up his own studio after graduation.
She replied, “I haven’t designed anything for three years, though.”
“The fact that you won first place in the competition is enough to show what you’re capable of. If you’re
willing to work part–time here, you won’t even need to come in on a regular basis. We can negotiate
your compensation and benefits,”
Mia thought about it. Working part–time wouldn’t be a bad idea. At least her hours would be relatively
flexible. She replied, “Alright, then. I’ll take you up on your offer.”
The next day, she saw a message Gina had sent to her. “Be honest with me–what
Mia saw one of the trending topics on Twitter. It was about the award–winning actor, Linden Lane’s new
relationship.
