Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Chapter 402
Claude couldn’t believe Anthony had the audacity to even discuss replacing Mia. Indeed, he had quite the
nerve!
After all, this music show was originally intended by Claude as an apology gift for Mia.
How dare Anthony suggest replacing her?
The next day at college, Mia received a call from Felix’s defense lawyer, Ainsley Hobb. “Mr. Felix and Mrs. Quilter are proposing
a settlement. What are your thoughts on this?”
“What? Felix has the nerve to talk about a settlement? Where is his dignity? Besides, even if I don’t press charges against him,
he’ll still go to jail for financial crimes.”
Ainsley coughed nervously. “My client, Mr. Felix, is hoping for your forgiveness, given your history together.
“If you could consider lending him some money, he wouldn’t need to serve jail time. He assures you of repayment once he’s
released.”
Mia chuckled. “I’m not interested in a settlement. If there are any further issues, please contact my
lawyer.”
With that, Mia ended the call. She had no intention of getting involved with Felix. It would only be a waste
of her time.

Shortly after arriving at college. Mia was summoned to Riley’s office. “Mia, the college would like to discuss the setup of the
hall...”
“Ms. Matterson, I still want to give it a try. Despite my limited experience with the piano, I have a genuine passion for music, and I
believe I have some understanding of the instrument.”
After Mia finished speaking, Riley paused.
“Mia, you’re overthinking this. The college isn’t planning to replace you.
“However, due to Mr. Jenkin’s dissatisfaction, you’ll be sent to the Music School for piano lessons. A dedicated teacher will
instruct you. Are you open to that?”
“Absolutely,” Mia replied without hesitation. How could she say no to such an opportunity?
After attending her lectures, Mia made her way to the Music School for her piano lesson.
It was her first time attending a class there, and she observed that her classmates all appeared quite refined.
After the class, Mia was approached by her piano teacher, Drew Kidman. “You must be Mia. Come with
me to the classroom next door, I’ll teach you. Do you have any basic knowledge of the piano?”
“Just a little,” Mia replied.
“Then, would you mind playing your favorite plano piece for me? Drew suggested.

Mia sat down at the piano, flooded with memories of the piece she had learned from Rowan Tilbury, the director of her
orphanage when she was a child.
During that time, Mia recalled how Rowan consistently praised her talent, yet there was always a hint of
sorrow in Rowan’s voice.
Mia understood why Rowan was sad–she couldn’t afford to learn the plano back then.
Fortunately, everything was fine now.
Mia was grateful for Rowan’s guidance at the orphanage, especially since her favorite music piece was the one Rowan had
introduced her to.
Taking a deep breath, Mia relied on her memory and began to play the song Rowan had taught her.
As the piano’s melody resonated through the building, Maya, who had arrived at the college with Anthony with intentions to
cause trouble, stood outside in surprise.
The college seemed to hold Mia in high regard and was unwilling to replace her.
Anthony, having no other choice, reluctantly agreed to let Mia stay temporarily.
Maya, feeling somewhat puzzled, turned to Anthony. “Could we consider changing the venue or maybe
postponing the music show?”
It seemed like that could be an effective leverage.
Anthony shook his head. “No, Mr. Lane called last night and insisted on holding the music show here.”
Maya found herself perplexed by Claude’s behavior, yet she knew he wasn’t someone to back down easily. Otherwise, she
would have confronted him directly.
Very well, let Mia stay. She’ll embarrass herself at the music show regardless!
Suddenly, Maya heard a familiar melody echoing from the music building nearby.

Her expression darkened. “Who could be playing this piece here?”
Could it possibly be her?
