Chapter 31
Mia returned home after registering for the competition. She started drafting her design.
That night, her brothers, cousins, and Eva came by for dinner. They talked about her
participating in the Fleur International Design Competition.
Dominic’s eyes lit up.
“Do you
like winning first place, Mia?”
Mia was taken aback by this question. “I don’t think anyone would dislike that.”
But who could be sure when it came to competitions? She could only try her best.
Eva stomped on Dominic’s foot. Then, she said, “Your brother just means that you’ll
definitely win first place since you’re so good at this.’
Dominic nodded vigorously. He had to ensure Mia won first place. Even if there
weren’t a first place to win, he’d create one for her!
What did principles matter when this had to do with his sister?
Mia didn’t think of this. She returned to her room to slave away at her designs. She
could finally participate in this competition again after a number of
years.

needing a huge sum of money to stay alive.
This time, Mia wanted a fresh start. It was for herself and also for her unborn child.
A week later, Mia was notified that she’d made it into the Fleur International Design Competition finals.
Gina immediately texted her when she heard. “I told you you could do it!
Congratulations on getting through to the finals, Mia! Your luck’s finally turning
around! I just knew dumping that piece of shit would bring you good luck!”
Mia replied, “I do have to admit that I’ve been having better luck lately.”

Soon, Mia saw the story Gina posted on her Instagram. “Extra, extra! Our amazing
Zoe has just made her official comeback. She’s gotten into the final round of the
Fleur International Design Competition. She’ll have another victory under her belt
soon!”
Mia took a deep breath. She hoped she would win first place; she needed the prize
money, after all.
Eva soon received word on this. She said to Dominic, “Honey, that Zoe is
participating in the competition, too. I’m worried that the odds are stacked against
Mia.”
Dominic didn’t think this
s was too big a deal. “We’ll have two first–place winners,
then.”
Whatever it was, Mia had to win first place!
Meanwhile, Heath knocked on Timothy’s door at Barrett Group’s headquarters. “Mr. Barrett, the list of finali
for the Fleur International Design Competition is out.”
Timothy looked up and pretended to look nonchalant as he asked, “Who’s on it?”
“I heard that Zoe, that popular designer who disappeared three years ago, is also
participating.”
Timothy rapped his knuckles on the desk. “Have someone ask her whether she’s
willing to work here.”
“Yes, sir. I’ll get on it right away.
“Hold it.” Timothy frowned. “Hand me the list of finalists.”
Heath handed it to them and asked tentatively, “Did you want to know whether Mrs.
Barrett got in, sir?”
