Chapter 24 Chapter 24: Mia's Self-absorbed Mother

The door was pushed open, and David walked in. With a cold and indifferent face, he said in a muffled voice, "You come out."

Mara immediately walked towards Lulu. No, she wasn't going out.

She knew what David would say, so she hugged Lulu tightly, not believing that David would divorce in front of the children.

David said in annoyance, "Could you please be reasonable."

Mara's eyes went red, "I'm unreasonable? I did everything for you, for the child?"

"How could you accuse me of that now? Have you ever cared about Lulu? Do you know how pathetic she is? You're a father. Why didn't you protect your daughter?"

Mara pulled the subject away and made a point of blaming David.

Instead, David just said, "Get a divorce."

He slapped the divorce papers on the table and walked away without looking back.

Mara froze, "What did you say?" She threw the needle as hard as possible and screamed, "I don't agree to a divorce. Never agree."

Chloe came in and said, "Oh, what's this about? For the sake of his sister's child, he abandons his wife and children. How could he do that? That Susie just returned, then, she causes your divorce."

Mara yelled, "Stop it. You get out. You go back to your own house."

She stayed for a few days whenever Chloe came to the Murray family estate. She enjoyed the noble feeling of being waited on by many maids.

She refused to leave because she's only been here half the night.

"Hey, Mara, calm down. Talk to David properly. If not, we can find a way to have another."

Mara pushed Chloe out of the room with red eyes and loudly closed the door.

The old woman banged on the door, "Why are you still angry with me here?"

What did she say wrong? It's true.

The birthday party could no longer be held, and Paul held up his glass and smiled meekly, "Thank you all for the honor of coming to our family Susie's fourth birthday party. Susie is our sister Clara's daughter, and although Clara is no longer with us, we will never let Susie suffer a bit. I also want to tell you today that Susie's last name is Murray, Susie Murray. Thanks again, everyone."

The crowd rushed to agree, leaving the Murray family estate one by one.

As they walked out, they could not help but whisper.

"Covered by eight brother uncles of the Murray family, Susie is enviable."

"Yes, this is the real princess."

Mia grabbed her mother's dress and thought of Susie's sparkling brightness in her starry skirt.

She also envied and wanted a lot of powerful and handsome uncles.

At this time, Mia's mother suddenly noticed that some people were still left in the Murray family's first-floor living room.

Seeing an acquaintance rush in, she hurriedly pulled him in and asked, "Mr. Lee, what's going on?"

Mr. Lee said, "Master Leopold is here."

Mia's mom's eyes lit up when she heard that.

Mia's father immediately went to say hello, and the family turned back again.

Mia sniffled and said carefully, "Mommy, it's my fault. I misremembered."

Mia's mother wanted to say something but finally said, "I don't blame you. Let's go. I will take you over there. Don't you like oil paintings the most? Master Leopold is here, so this is your chance."

Master Leopold was scarce to meet, let alone come to such a party.

But he came today, and Mia's mom felt so lucky.

If Master Leopold could accept Mia as his student. she could hold her head up and brag about it for many years.

Mia's eyes lit up, and hastily asked, "Is it he, Master Leopold?"

She counted his titles in detail and looked like she knew them well.

Mia's mother nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, Mia is great. Be good if you meet him."

Mia's oil paintings were selected for the National Academy of Painting Junior Group review. The National Academy of Painting was committed to implementing the National Art Development Project.

Mia was complimented by her mother and was full of confidence. She felt that she was the most talented child in drawing among all the others. Master Leopold would see it.

When the time came, she would be better than Susie. And Hamza would also be impressed with her.

On the second floor of the Murray family, Craig patted Susie's shoulder and said gently, "Susie, come on. I want to introduce you to an old friend."

Susie nodded, "OK." Her face was tender, but she nodded thoughtfully like a miniature adult, which amused Alana.

In the first-floor lobby where the Murray family entertained guests to the outside world, people knowledgeable about oil painting are gathered, smiling and chatting with an older man.

"It was a real pleasure to meet Master Leopold."

"Yes, Master Leopold rarely came out. Is Master Leopold preparing to be a judging instructor for the Second Congress of oil Painting?"

The old man, dressed in a green shirt, smiled and shook his head, "Might have no chance to be the review mentor. I am old and ready to accept a young disciple this time."

Zachariah Leopold was in such a good mood that after seeing the painting Craig sent him. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep for two days. Susie's drawings were so spiritual, and he hadn't seen such a talented child in decades. When Craig asked him if he would accept Susie as his disciple, that's for sure.

Master Leopold's words were like a bombshell that widened the crowd's eyes.

[OMG, Master Leopold is accepting disciples.]

[And still 'a young disciple'.]

[Who is it?]

The crowd was envious, and although it was not themselves, they could not help but get excited and speculate who it would be.

At that moment, Mia's mother came in with Mia in her hand.

The eyes of the crowd immediately fell on Mia. Because Mia was also quite famous in their circle. At a young age, her oil paintings were included in the National Academy of Painting. She was in full conformity with what Master Leopold said about a young painter.

All at once, the crowd was wearing smiles and exchanging pleasantries with Mia and Mia's mother.

Mia bowed quietly and made her image as a famous girl stand up straight. She couldn't help but be proud of the thought of being accepted as a disciple of Master Leopold.

Mia's mother pretended to ask, "Master Leopold, just now everyone heard you will accept a young pupil. We are very curious. Which child is so lucky to get your favor?"

Zachariah laughed, "It's a child with bright colors and a deceptively dazzling and bizarre imagination, the best I've seen in decades."

Mia's mother was ecstatic to hear that.

Yes, Mia used to be with bright colors. She also felt that Mia was imaginative and dazzling.
