Patricia nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. "Thank you."
"That's our line. Thank you for being willing to come to Nord City with us so that Mia won't be that lonely." Dominic felt grateful.
Looking at her six brothers, Mia couldn't hide the blissful smile beaming across her face.
The next morning, Eva took Mia out after breakfast.
"Mia, I've made an appointment with a makeup artist and a hairdresser from Vior. You're going to be the belle of the ball tonight."
Mia said helplessly, "Eva, I'm only going to congratulate Mrs. Barrett Senior on her recovery, not participating in a beauty pageant."
"You can't say that. After all, you're joining the party as Ms. Lane. Make them regret disrespecting you in the past."
Dominic nodded. "Eva's right."
Mia followed her family to the top floor of the mall. Claude and Liam came along as well.
As soon as they left the elevator, there was a strong smell of perfume and she covered her nose subconsciously.
When she looked up, there stood Shelly and her minion. Just as she had expected.
Ever since Mia was revealed to be the true Ms. Lane on campus that day, Shelly and Sharon never showed up in front of Mia anymore.
It was as though they had vanished into thin air.
Mia didn't think about them anyway, but she didn't expect to run into Shelly here.
The atmosphere turned awkward instantly.
