Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen )
Chapter 401

Mia heard Maya’s taunts but chose not to respond. Instead, she conceded, “You’re right. I don’t reallyknow how to play the piano.”

“Why sugarcoat it? If you don’t have the talent, just own up to it. Mia, is your ego that fragile? Why don’tyou just admit that you can’t play the piano?” Maya chided.

Before Mia could respond, Anthony, who was nearby, interjected, “It’s absurd to assign the venuedesign to someone who lacks any musical expertise or piano skills.

“I’ll be discussing this matter with the college to arrange for a more suitable replacement.”

Mia remained silent, unable to ignore the smug expression in Maya’s eyes.

Indeed, Maya seemed to be a magnet for trouble, following her wherever she went.

Anthony and his group left, their expressions filled with disdain.

Maya lingered, boring a triumphant gaze at Mia before remarking. “You seem to be having a blastlately. Mia, but sorry to burst your bubble–I’m back now. Fun times are over for you.”

Maya thought about how she had to travel to Nord City to attend to Laura, just to safeguard herstanding as the Lane family’s young lady.

It was only by doing so that Maya managed to retain her status. Dominic no longer urged her to signthe

adoption termination agreement.

Now, Maya was determined to eliminate Mia, that bitch, so she could marry Timothy without anyhassle.

With Timothy as her husband–to–be, Maya would soon forget about her role as the Lane family’syoung.

lady.

With a smirk, Mia shot back, “We’ll just have to wait and see!”

After all, Mia had nothing to lose. She would soon be leaving this place anyway.

With that, Mia walked past Maya without even sparing her a glance.

Maya stomped her foot in frustration before exiting the hall.

Approaching Anthony, she said, “I recall there being a special segment planned for this event, whereone. student would be invited to perform on stage at the end, am I right?”

Anthony nodded and replied, “Yes, the college officials have recommended two candidates, and we’llselect one of them to perform on stage.”

“But where’s the fun in that if it’s already predetermined? Considering the low standards of this college.

we might as well resort to drawing lots.

12. 12.

“Any embarrassment would only reflect poorly on the institution.”

Maya had already devised a plan. She would make sure that Mia was chosen to perform on stage.

Observing Mia’s awkward and clueless demeanor under the spotlight would be rather entertaining.Maya could then intervene and salvage the situation.

It would be the perfect opportunity for Timothy to witness firsthand that Mia, this ordinary woman, paledIn comparison to Maya.

Returning home, Patricia had laid various dishes for Mia on the table. “Mia, you must have been busywith schoolwork these past few days. Please, indulge a bit more,” she urged.

After finishing her meal, Mia turned to Claude and expressed, “Claude. I’d like to work on a pianopiece. Could you teach me?”

Mia felt an unexplainable urge to keep up with her peers.

Claude readily agreed, noticing Mia’s newfound determination. “Mia, what sparked this sudden burst ofdiligence?” he inquired.

“Claude, the university tasked me with designing and decorating the hall. However, Anthony, the headof the music team, doubted my piano skills and understanding of music.

“He believes I’m not qualified for the job. That’s why I’m motivated to work harder,” Mia explained.

She was determined to secure credits for this project, knowing it would fulfill her graduationrequirements.

Claude frowned. “Anthony said that about you?”

He couldn’t help but curse Anthony inwardly, wondering what his problem was.

After all, Claude had purposely organized this music show for Mia.

How dare Anthony doubt Mia’s musical abilities!

Given her exceptional talent, how could she possibly fail to understand music?

Mia nodded. “I would like to lead this eager to

give it a try.”

Project. It offers a substantial amount of credits, and I’m

“Alright, Mia, I’m confident you’ll succeed. Let’s rehearse the piece I taught you earlier,” Claude saidwith a smile, though a hint of darkness gleamed in his eyes.

He was determined to confront Anthony later. What was his issue, anyway?
