Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 859

Chapter 859 Her Concealment

After several judges carefully evaluated the contestants, the results were announced half an hour later.

When Mia found out she had won first place, she almost jumped up in excitement.

However, she didn't forget her disguise and after receiving the award, she went to Anna and shoved the trophy and $100, 000 prize money into her arms with a guilty expression.

Anna looked at the money and trophy in her arms with confusion in her sparkling eyes. Before she could say anything, Mia's voice filled her ears with guilt.

"Anna, I'm sorry. You should have been the one to receive these."

After hearing Mia's apology, Anna couldn't help but feel amused. She slightly raised her red lips and smiled gently.

She returned everything back to Mia and said with sincerity, "You achieved today's success through your own hard work. As for me getting second place, I'm already content enough that I received recognition from the judges."

Anna spoke sincerely with a voice that was still hoarse.

"But..." Mia sighed deeply. "If your throat wasn't acting up today, then you would have definitely stood on top of that podium instead of me! What happened? Why did your throat suddenly become so hoarse?"

Mia glanced over at Jimmy and Bryce who were about to leave before raising her voice full of concern as if trying to catch their attention.

Upon hearing what Mia said, both Jimmy and Bryce stopped in their tracks and their eyes met in the mid air.

A scheming smile flashed across Mia's eyes.

It's about time for Charlee, this idiot, to pay for her foolish behavior. Otherwise, I would be the one being schemed against by her in the future.

Mia once again placed the prize money back into Anna's hands, saying, "I know your father is hospitalized right now and needing money urgently. Although this amount isn't much, it should be able to support him for some days."

Mia's words warmed Anna's heart, making it difficult for her to refuse.

"I'll take it as what I owe you. I'll find more part-time jobs soon so that I can return it as soon as possible."

Mia nodded.

"Don't tire yourself out too much, otherwise it will affect your training. We're good friends, and I look forward to holding hands with you and making a big name in the showbiz."

Anna's eyes narrowed slightly.

With all the debt she had, did she even have a chance?

Thinking of Jimmy, her biggest creditor, a hint of helplessness appeared on her face.

Out of the corner of Mia's eye, she saw Jimmy walking over with Bryce. An evil plan flashed through her mind in an instant.

Especially when Charlee and several other trainees walked over together, she became even more certain about this plan.

"Anna, you haven't answered my question. Why did your voice suddenly become hoarse?" Mia asked again while giving Charlee a meaningful glance.

Anna shrugged lightly. "It's all in the past now. I don't want to talk about it anymore. I still need to go visit my dad at the hospital so I'm leaving now."

But Mia firmly grabbed Anna's hand before she could leave.

"Anna, you can't be too kind-hearted or else people will take advantage of you in the future," Mia suddenly shouted loudly enough for everyone to hear.
