Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Chapter 408
After all, Claude had a reputation as a bit of a playboy.
It now made sense why he suddenly organized a music show at the university and even endorsed such a juvenile design plan.
However, Claude had never gone to such great lengths for a woman in the past, nor had he ever used his professional
endeavors to impress women. Yet, Mia seemed to be an exception.
Anthony couldn’t shake the feeling that he had been too harsh on Mia. What if Mia became Claude’s wife
in the future?
Later that afternoon, Mia was taken aback to discover that her design draft had been approved without
requiring any modifications.
Feeling incredulous, Mia double–checked with Riley several times. Riley’s response remained consistent: “Mia, you should have
confidence in your abilities.
“After all, you were the first–place winner in the Fleur International Design Competition. The university
has high hopes for you.”
“I understand. I’ll work hard,” Mia replied, feeling a bit embarrassed by Riley’s praise.
Mia arrived home in a daze to find Claude already there, looking at her tentatively. “Mia, how did your

design review go? Was it approved?” he asked.
Mia, still a bit stunned, replied with excitement, “I passed on the first attempt without needing any
revisions. I had been ready to make some changes, so it was a pleasant surprise.”
Claude gently patted Mia’s head and asked with a smile. “Are you happy? I knew you could do it, Mia.”
“Of course, I’m thrilled. With no modifications required, I can start decorating the hall immediately. There
should still be enough time.”
After quickly finishing her meal, Mia returned to her room to begin arranging the decorations for the hall.
She realized that she needed to start working against the clock tomorrow, or she wouldn’t have enough
time.
Observing Mia’s dedication and hard work, Claude couldn’t help but smile. As long as Mia was happy.
that was all that mattered.
The next day, Mia arrived on campus early in the morning to begin decorating the hall.
She was so occupied that by noon, she felt dizzy and almost fainted from hunger. It was only when the little ones in her belly
began to protest that she finally decided to order some takeout for herself.

After eating, Mia felt a bit relieved.
“Tsk tsk, the setup isn’t very impressive. With this poor standard, how did Anthony even approve your design plan?” Maya asked
sarcastically.
“Come on, Maya, isn’t it obvious? Perhaps Mia used some form of bribery to get Anthony to approve her design,” Shelly chimed
in.
Maya’s smirk widened. “Shelly, we don’t have evidence. Let’s refrain from making baseless accusations.”
Shelly sneered, “What further proof do you need? We’re all aware of the tactics Mia employed to marry into the Barrett family.
Everyone knows the kind of woman she is.”
Observing Maya and Shelly’s banter, Mia set down her tools firmly.
“I was wondering what smelled so foul; turns out it’s just you two. The stench reached all the way here. I thought the sewage
pipe had burst,” she fired back.
Refusing to back down, Shelly retorted, “Mia, who are you calling foul? Did we say something wrong just now? You’re the one
who used unethical means to get Anthony to approve such an ugly design, right?”
Mia’s expression turned cold. “Shelly, spreading rumors comes with consequences. Keep that in mind.”
“Whatever, I’ll stand by my words. Everyone already knows your true colors. I’ll make sure every person on this campus hears
about your deceitful actions.
“You probably went to a hotel last night to meet with Mr. Jenkins. I have a friend who witnessed it firsthand, so don’t bother
denying it,” Shelly hurled accusations.
Mia nodded and pulled out her phone, dialing the police directly.
“Hello, is this the police? I’ve been accused of checking into a hotel with a man, but I believe I was
drugged and taken there without my knowledge. I have two witnesses present who can attest to this.”
