Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 

Mia lowered her eyes to conceal her true emotions at Shelly’s words. She’d already 

signed the divorce papers; who Timothy wanted to cheer on and be with was none 

of her business. 

Later, no matter what else Shelly said, Mia ignored her. Soon, Maya walked on stage 

to announce the commencement of the ceremony. “As we all know, there have been 

some changes to the rules for this year’s competition. 

“There will only be ten winners, which means one of the 11 finalists will leave with 

nothing. For the sake of fairness, the designers‘ names will be concealed when the 

judging is conducted. The announcement of the winners will also be different–we’ll 

start from the tenth place.” 

Mia looked at the panel of judges. Timothy was among them. Obviously, he was one 

of the judges. 

If she were being completely honest, she was quite nervous. At this moment, she 

received a WhatsApp message from Liam. “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.” 

” 

Half an hour later, the judging ended. On stage, Maya announced the results. “In 

tenth place, we have … In ninth place…” 

Soon, they were down to the top three. Mia frowned. There were four finalists left. 

The one who wasn’t among the top three would be the one eliminated. 

Shelly turned to glance at her. “Don’t tell me you’re dreaming about being in the top 

three, Mia. The competition’s tough this year, and that Zoe is also one of the 

competitors. You shouldn’t even think about placing with your lousy skills.” 

Mia faltered. She was Zoe, though. Should she thank Shelly for her compliment? 

Maya soon announced the third and second place. Mia wasn’t among them. She 

noticed Timothy glancing at her, but he’d already turned away when she turned to 

look. 

Mia looked down and waited for Maya to announce the winner. Maya saw Timothy and Mia’s interaction. Her eyes darkened slightly at the sight before she smiled and 

1/2 

said, “And in first place is Wilhelmina Jones.” 

+15 BONUS 

Two seats away from Mia, a young lady shot to her feet and ran on stage excitedly to accept her award. Mia sat in her seat, clenching her fists awkwardly. For a split second, she’d thought she was in first place.
