Chapter 313
Upon hearing Connor’s words, Mia lowered her head and replied in a hushed tone, “Connor, I’ve
already made up my mind to keep the babies.”
To her, the twins growing in her belly were her family, entirely separate from Timothy.
Connor gently patted Mia’s head, reassuring her, “Your brothers and I have successful careers now,
and we will certainly be able to support you and the twins in the future. You don’t need to push yourself
so hard.”
“I understand,” Mia replied.
Deep down, she had already come to a decision. Once she fulfilled her credit requirements, she
planned to graduate and leave this place.
After reaching home, Mia immediately went to freshen up to get ready for bed.
In the marital villa, Timothy concluded his work in the study and made his way back to the bedroom.
Taking a moment to inspect the coordinated outfit, he couldn’t help but frown upon seeing the red
suit.
Was this the ensemble Mia had arranged for him?
If he hadn’t witnessed it personally, he wouldn’t have believed it.
Without delay, Timothy called Mia, and she answered promptly. Unfazed by the call, Mia calmly
inquired, “What’s the matter?”
Exasperated, Timothy massaged his temples and asked, “Is this really the outfit you chose for me? It’s
incredibly red. Are you color blind or something?”
“I believe it suits you nicely. You’re not obliged to wear it if it’s not to your liking.”
“Mia, I paid ten thousand dollars for your expertise, and this is the result? Seriously?”
With Timothy being so frustrated, Mia found it hard to suppress a laugh.
However, she composed herself and stated firmly, “As per our agreement, any modifications will
not be considered once the payment has been made.”
“Mia, is this how you treat your clients?”
“No, but consider this a lesson. Perhaps it’s time to be more cautious when it comes to trusting

Having said her piece, Mia abruptly ended the call. Unable to contain her laughter, she rolled in
bed, thoroughly amused.
Accepting the ten thousand dollars proved to be a worthwhile decision for Mia.
Timothy’s audacity was astounding, believing that he could use money as a tool to humiliate her.
It was high time he learned the harsh realities of navigating a treacherous world.
In a moment of frustration, Timothy shot an angry look at his phone and forcefully removed his
tie. Mia seemed like a torment sent by the heavens to plague him.
How could she audaciously charge him ten thousand dollars for this?
Timothy felt utterly foolish.
The following day, Mia resumed her work. She contemplated how to articulate her resignation to
Felix thoughtfully.
Balancing her responsibilities at the studio and college became increasingly challenging as her
belly continued to grow.
Upon entering the studio, she discovered a vibrant bouquet of roses waiting on her desk.
A jealous colleague commented, “Mia, Mr. Quilter himself placed those on your desk. Even though he
doesn’t permit us to discuss it, everyone around here is quite envious of you.”
Mia’s expression grew uneasy. It was time she had a conversation with Felix to clarify certain
matters.
Mia knocked on Felix’s office door, and he greeted her with a smile. “Mia, you’re here. What can I
help you with?”novelbin
“Felix, I’ve decided to resign.”
In response to Mia’s announcement, Felix’s expression darkened.
“Mia, are you upset because of the beverage mishap during yesterday’s lunch? I genuinely
apologize for the oversight.
“My mom is not accustomed to dining in upscale establishments and, as a result, was unfamiliar with
the labels on the bottles. This led to her mistakenly assuming they were all the same.”
“Felix, I understand that Mrs. Quilter made a mistake at lunch yesterday. However, my decision to
resign is not based on that incident.

“Lately, the academic workload has been piling up, and I’m finding it challenging to keep up.”
Felix responded promptly. “If it’s too overwhelming, you don’t have to come to the studio to work.
Remember our agreement? You can work when you have the time, and I won’t pressure you.”
Mia hesitated for a moment before expressing, “I appreciate that, but it wouldn’t be fair to my
colleagues.
“I’ve been feeling quite tired recently and believe it’s best if I take a break. I can always return to work
after graduating in the future.”
