Chapter 30
As Mia put away her documents, she tutted and remarked, “Shelly, how is there no limit to your stupidity? Haven’t you learned your lesson from the last time?
“Did you come here so that I can give you a sound beating again? This explains the comments people make behind your back. I get it now.”
Shelly stomped her feet in rage. “I’m going to kill you, Mia!”
Liam glared menacingly at Shelly as he growled, “Go on. Let’s see if you dare. Do it, and I’ll see if I can give your plastic surgeon another chance to give you a new nose.”
Terrified, Shelly shielded her nose and shut her mouth.
Mia said to Liam, “Let’s go. Aunt Patricia told me not to spend time with fools.”
Smoke was coming out of Shelly’s ears. She secretly took a photo of Mia and Liam from behind before calling Maya. “Maya, didn’t you tell the head of the organizing committee to close registrations a day early to stop Mia from joining?”
“That’s right,” Maya replied. “I spoke to the head of the committee. The registration period should’ve closed
yesterday.”
“Well, I came over today just so I could laugh at Mia, but guess what I saw?” Shelly huffed. “The registration period didn’t end yesterday. Today’s the last day, and because of that, that bitch Mia got to ridicule me! I was
so humiliated!”
“That’s impossible.”
Maya frowned. How could this be? She had already given her instructions to the person in charge.
“Maya, you should check to see what went wrong. Get the guy to reject Mia’s application and ban her from joining the competition. I must get even with her!” Shelly insisted.
After ending the call, Maya called the head of the organizing committee and asked sternly, “Didn’t I tell you to close the registrations for the competition yesterday?”
“I was going to do as you instructed, Ms. Lane, but Mr. Lane specifically said we’re not allowed to close the
registrations a day early.
“We’re to follow the deadline that had been set in advance. We had no choice but to comply with the order,” the person explained.
After hearing that, Maya ended the call and threw the document she was holding onto the floor.
She cursed to herself. Everything had been going so smoothly. Why did something happen at the last minute to ruin her plan?
All she could do was seethe in rage at how lucky Mia was.
Maya knew that Dominic didn’t like other people messing around at work, so she dared not do anything too
