Chapter 153
The reason Mikayla gave convinced Matilda.
“So that’s how it is,” she said with a hint of pride in her expression. “Although Louisa’s academics are average, she really has a talent for design and is willing to put in effort in it.”
“I think so too, Aunt Matilda. Since Louisa likes design so much, there’s a famous design school in Aveloria. You can send her there for two years of study,” Mikayla suggested.
Louisa, who was originally infuriated, suddenly felt a little skeptical at what Mikayla said.
She thought Mikayla would take the opportunity to expose her shortcomings in front of her- parents, but instead she suggested for her to study abroad.
When did Mikayla become so nice?
“She would be going there alone. If anything were to happen to her, no one could take care of her!” Matilda rejected without hesitation.
“Louisa is already a grown up and can take care of herself. Moreover, flights are
convenient nowadays. She can come back anytime she wants. You and Uncle Stephen can go there anytime too,” Mikayla said.
She further added, “Studying abroad not only allows her to sharpen her skills, but also widens her prospect. Everyone will look up to her.
“She’s the daughter of the Davidson family. No one dares to look down on her!” Matilda
continued to refuse.
“Mom, I like the design school there. It offers a two–year program. Why don’t you let me go for two years?” Louisa pleaded coquettishly.
Of course, Matilda wasn’t so easily persuaded.
She continued expressing how worried and concerned she would be.
“I know some friends there. If Aunt Matilda needs it, I can introduce them to you,” Jerome
interjected.
Louisa’s eyes lit up instantly.
She always wanted to go abroad, but Matilda kept refusing.
She didn’t expect that not only did Mikayla speak up for her, but even Jerome too.
Louisa held Matilda’s hand and pleaded, “Mom, Jerome’s friends must be reliable. Please think about it!”
Matilda didn’t want to disrespect Jerome, so she smiled and offhandedly said, “I’ll let you know If I need it.”
Louisa Instantly understood that Matilda still wouldn’t let her go abroad.
Her expression was filled with disappointment.
Mikayla quietly observed.
Louisa had a strong desire to study abroad.
However, Matilda was quite adamantly against it.
She needed to come up with a foolproof plan.
Seeing the awkwar
atmosphere, Stephen tried to mediate and invited everyone to eat.
The food in this restaurant was indeed delicious.
Mikayla ate a lot.
Louisa, who was in high spirits when she arrived, seemed to lose her appetite and ate only a little.
After Mikayla had eaten enough, she went to the restroom.
When she came out, she bumped into Louisa, who was touching up her makeup.
“Why did you ask my mom to let me study abroad?” Louisa asked.
Mikayla wasn’t surprised that Louisa came to question her.
As she washed her hands, she said, “Grandpa said that you want to study abroad. Seeing that Aunt Matilda was in a good mood just now, I brought it up.”
“Why do you want me to go abroad? What are you plotting?”
Louisa didn’t think Mikayla had any good intentions.
Matilda always told her that Mikayla wanted to compete with her for everything, and that Eduard didn’t love her because of Mikayla.
Over time, she developed a resentment toward Mikayla.

After Mikayla married Jerome, her resentment grew even deeper.
Matilda often complained that, if it weren’t for Mikayla, Louisa might have married into the Miller family.
