Timothy noticed that Mia ended up eating four pancakes, two slices of toast, and a bowl of cereal.

Did she always have such a hearty appetite?

Once breakfast was over, Laura abruptly held out an invitation. “Mia, I got you a spot as a contestant in this competition.”

Mia looked at the invitation. It was for the Fleur International Design Competition.

Startled, she asked Laura, “When did you do this, Grandma?”

“Well, you sent me some interior design sketches a while back, and I just so happened to hear about this competition, so I got you a spot,” Laura explained. “Give it a try. Mia. I think you’ll do a great job.”

Mia stared at the invitation with a look of melancholy. She considered joining this competition years ago, but after marrying into the Barrett family, she devoted all of her time and attention to Timothy. In doing so, she neglected all of her past interests.

Upon hearing that, Maya’s gaze turned cold. “That’s easy. Tomorrow’s the final day to register for the competition. I’ll tell them to end registrations a day early.”

Shelly instantly smirked smugly. “That’d be great. I’ll head over there tomorrow to enjoy the show in person. What’ll it be like to see the excited Mia being disappointed once she finds out the registration is over? It’s going to be so much fun!”

Maya was smiling tauntingly as well.

“Go ahead. Remember to give me a play-by-play afterward,” Maya said before ending the call.

How could a woman like Mia, who came from a poor background, be worthy of competing against her for Timothy?
