Chapter 407
Connor furrowed his brows upon hearing Jason’s words. “You should talk to Mia about this before jumping to any conclusions. What if Mia isn’t on board with your plans?”
“I’m capable of handling this situation myself; Mia doesn’t need to concern herself with it.
“After everything she’s been through, being alone and mistreated by the Barrett family, I refuse to stand by and do nothing. I can’t let her accept that fate,” Jason asserted firmly.
If Mia were to walk away from the marriage with nothing, then what was the purpose of Jason being at
lawyer?
“What I’m trying to say is, our family is financially secure, and Mia will soon be returning to live with us in Nord City. There’s no need to create unnecessary complications.
“Besides, Mia has made it clear she wants to distance herself from the Barrett family,” Connor reasoned.
“This isn’t about getting caught up in anything; it’s about advocating for what Mia rightfully deserves.
“Otherwise, Timothy might assume that he can treat Mia however he pleases. Allow me to handle this matter; I’ll discuss it with Mia.” Jason insisted.
As the leading lawyer in Nord City, Jason believed that if Mia were to go through a divorce and end up with nothing, unable to secure what rightfully belonged to her, then his position was essentially
meaningless.
Previously, Mia had no one to depend on, but now she had support.
Why should she endure such mistreatment?
As Mia sat through her afternoon lectures on campus, she was struck by an unsettling feeling, though
she couldn’t quite pinpoint the cause.
Later on, she forwarded the design drafts to the university officials via email.
Given Anthony’s demanding attitude and the added complication of dealing with Maya, the task at hand
was far from simple.
Mia wasn’t confident her design plans would be approved; she had a sense that they might be sent back
for further revisions.
Upon receiving the design drafts, Anthony promptly forwarded them to Claude along with the message: Mr. Lane, what are your thoughts on this design plan?”
Claude briefly glanced at the designs and responded sharply: “Why are you showing me this? Are you out
of your mind? Who is responsible for this design?”
“Mr. Lane, didn’t you specifically request the university officials to send the design plans to you for your evaluation?” Claude questioned.
He added, “I concur with your assessment. I also find this design rather immature and believe it will impede our team’s progress. That’s exactly why I suggested replacing Mia in the first place.”
Wait a minute!
Claude immediately sat up straight and swiftly dialed Anthony’s number. “Wait, are you saying these design plans are from the university?”
“Yeah, they’re from a student named Mia Bowen,” Anthony confirmed.
To Claude’s astonishment, it turned out that Mia was the one behind the drafts!
He hastily interrupted, clearing his throat. “You know what, upon closer inspection, I realize I might have missed its merits earlier.
“This design is actually quite impressive, bursting with energy and showing considerable talent!”
Anthony was taken aback, puzzled by Claude’s sudden change of heart. He couldn’t comprehend what
Claude was talking about.
Anthony eventually managed to stutter a few words, “I find it somewhat immature.”
Didn’t Claude share the same sentiment just moments ago? Why the sudden shift in opinion?
“How can you dismiss it as immature? If you don’t have anything constructive to say, it’s best to remain silent. This design has its own unique character!

“Besides, Mia is a university student, and while her approach may diverge from the norm, it’s
being tasteless.
