Chapter 313 Signing Mia Aft +8 Pearls watching Olivia beat Jason, a huge guy, into a bloody mess, Mia realized she could never turn down Olivia, no matter what.
Almost under pressure, Mia followed Olivia to the school café.
Mia never thought sheâd end up sitting at a café with Olivia, drinking coffee.
While the Davis familyâs downfall was their own fault, it all began because of Olivia. Though Mia didnât hate her, there was still some awkwardness between them.
âSo... whatâs going on?â Mia asked carefully. She was afraid Olivia was here to settle an old score. âI donât fight back. I really donât!â
Olivia watched Mia, who was obviously nervous. âHowâs everything at home?â
Mia stayed silent. You sure know how to make conversation!
âThe companyâs gone under; my mom took the last of the money after divorcing my dad, and now Iâm living with him. Heâs been working hard to save the business but has been burning out... so... is that good or bad?â
It wasnât until Mia hit rock bottom that she understood a lot of things.
She had always thought her mother loved both her and her father, but after the Davis familyâs collapse, her mother ran off with another man, taking the last of their wealth with her.
Thatâs when Mia found out her mother had been seeing someone else for a long time.
Olivia leaned on her hand, quietly observing Mia, who remained composed despite everything. âAre you struggling for money?â
Mia let out a bitter chuckle. âDadâs heart isnât doing well, and he needs surgery.â
Olivia asked, âHow much is the surgery?â
Mia answered, â112,000 dollars.â
What used to be, the cost of a fancy dress now felt impossible for Mia to manage.
She couldnât even afford 1,120 dollars, let alone 112,000, Without another word, Olivia pulled out a check for 112,000 dollars and handed it to Mia.
Mia stared at the check in disbelief before looking up at Olivia.
Olivia smiled. âI just started my own agency, and Iâm looking to sign artists. If you agree, these 112,000 dollars will be your signing fee.â
Mia couldnât believe it.
After the bankruptcy, Mia tried reaching out to many people. The girls she had once been closest to turned away as soon as they found out about her familyâs situation.

+8 Pearls But Mia never expected that the one offering her a lifesaving check would be Olivia, the very person she had once bullied.
âYou... really want to sign me?â
Olivia nodded.
Mia was overwhelmed. âBut... Iâve never acted before.â
âYouâre from the drama department, right? Everyone starts somewhere. Plus... donât you want to restore your familyâs pride?
Donât you want to get revenge on Jason and make him regret what he did?â Olivia said.
Olivia wasnât here to be a philanthropist.
In Miaâs past life, the Davis family didnât stay wealthy for long.
Her mother had an affair, and after Mia graduated, her mother and her lover drained the familyâs wealth. Miaâs father was so devastated that he died shortly after.
In this life, Mr. Liam from the Wilson family had just expedited the inevitable.
Before the Davis familyâs collapse in her past life, Mia had used the familyâs influence to land a role in a film after graduation.
Although Mia was pampered, her acting was actually quite impressive.
If her mother hadnât betrayed the family, Mia could have risen to fame in the entertainment world, using both her familyâs status and her talent.
