Sage stood beside Timothy in silence.

Soon, news that Timothy was hospitalized spread, and Barrett Group's stock plunged.

The relatives of the Barrett family requested to hold a board meeting to elect another CEO.

On the day of the board meeting, Mia brought her two children to Barrett Group.

They managed to keep everyone on a leash as Sage bore a striking resemblance to Timothy.

Mia marched into the meeting room, sat in Timothy's chair, and glanced at everyone present. "Let's begin. Didn't you all want to have a meeting?"

One of the middle-aged men said, "Ms. Lane, this is the Barrett Group board meeting. It's not appropriate for you to be here."

"That's right. Though the kids are Mr. Barrett's children, they're still young and do not have any shares. You all shouldn't be here."

Mia flung a document onto the table. "This is an agreement signed by Grandma Laura to authorize me to manage Timothy's shares."

"Anyway, we still need to elect a CEO to handle our company affairs."

    "Congratulations, you're one month pregnant. Everything looks fine."Mia Bowen held the results of her pregnancy test as she returned to her marital home, feeling like she was dreaming. Was she actually pregnant?She mustered the courage to text her husband, Timothy Barrett. "Will you be coming home for dinner tonight?"It felt like forever as she waited for a reply. He'd never liked it when people disturbed him at work, and she was worried that her message would go unanswered as it had in the past.In the next second, her phone lit up. Timothy replied curtly, "Yeah. I have something to tell you."After getting an answer, Mia hurried to get the groceries for that night's dinner. She put the results of the pregnancy test on the table, then flipped it over, feeling that she was being too obvious.In the evening, a black limousine drove into the courtyard. Timothy got out with his suit jacket casually flung over one arm. He had a tall figure and striking features."Timothy, you're

    A hint of mockery flashed in Mia's eyes. In the past, she would've felt terrible. But now that she and Timothy were divorced, it didn't matter how many women were to stay in the villa. It had nothing to do with her.Mia stepped forward. "Hi—"Before she could finish, the beautiful woman ignored her and walked around the living room. Then, she said to the butler, Kaleb Gould, "Those curtains are hideous, and so is the couch. Remember to also change the beds in the bedrooms to the brand I like."Mia watched as this "guest" criticized every corner of her marital home. She said bluntly, "Who are you? We're not doing any renovations here.""Allow me to introduce myself—I'm Maya Lane, and I'm the future lady of this household. Naturally, that means I call the shots when it comes to this villa's furnishings.""You're Maya Lane?"A trace of bitterness crept into Mia's heart. It was no wonder Timothy had suddenly brought up the divorce. Maya was back.Since his first love was back, Mia,

    Mia clenched her fist around the pregnancy test. "If I really were pregnant, I wouldn't have agreed to the divorce.""I suppose that's right. After all, a gold digger like you wouldn't let any opportunity to rise the ranks with a pregnancy slip. Still, even if you were pregnant, Tim wouldn't allow you to keep the baby. You're a peasant who doesn't deserve to give the Barrett family an heir, anyway," said Maya.Mia turned to head into the walk-in closet, but Maya followed her. "Hold on. Show me that paper you took from the bedside table."After some thought, Maya felt she couldn't rest easy until she knew what the paper said. What if Mia really were pregnant? She had to get rid of the baby.Mia held the pregnancy test tighter. "This is my private business.""Humph! Private business? I bet you're just trying to steal something expensive. Hand it over!" Maya stepped forward to pry Mia's fist open, even raising a hand to hit her.Mia instinctively threw Maya over her shoulder. The la

    Maya was secretly delighted but didn't let it show. She pretended to be magnanimous, saying, "I'll forgive you for Tim's sake."Mia straightened up and looked at Timothy. "Can I go now?"She didn't want to spend another second there. She bent down to pick the divorce agreement up and handed it to him. This time, her attitude was as firm as possible.Timothy looked at the divorce agreement and subconsciously frowned. He hadn't expected Mia to sign the papers without a fuss this time. Whenever he'd tried to do this in the past, she would have Laura help her.He'd already thought of the ways he could persuade Laura to see sense, but it seemed he wouldn't need to do anything.Timothy couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. He looked at Mia's suitcase. Was she leaving already?He looked at her. "Have you already found a place to stay?""No," Mia answered reflexively. She looked at him in surprise. Was he concerned about her?Timothy quickly averted his gaze. "Go downstairs to get some

    Mia's stomach roiled at the thought of what would happen on that bed in a while. Still, she controlled herself and turned to head into the walk-in closet to pack her things. It didn't take long to put everything into her suitcase."Kaleb, that suitcase seems to be branded. Get her a recyclable bag for her to put her stuff," Maya said.Soon, Kaleb brought over a dirty recyclable bag. He flung it at Mia's feet and said, "Use this."Mia bent down to open up her suitcase. Behind her, Maya said, "Remember to check her things later. We don't want her to take anything that doesn't belong to her."At her words, Mia recalled what Timothy had said about getting rid of the baby. He was only in the bathroom; if he were to find out about the pregnancy test, there was no way she could keep the baby.Kaleb and Maya were standing guard outside the walk-in closet. Mia looked at the pregnancy test that she'd buried with her stuff, then came to a decision.She turned around and secretly ripped the

    Timothy saw the things that were strewn over the ground. They were all regular clothing. Mia hadn't taken a single branded item with her.Hadn't she married him because she wanted those things? He couldn't believe she hadn't taken any of it.Timothy's gaze landed on the dirty recyclable bag, and he frowned. "Are you playing hard to get again? Whose pity are you trying to win again? It's not like Grandma's here!"He hadn't let her down in any way throughout their three-year marriage, aside from not having feelings for her. He'd never been stingy with her.Even with the divorce, he was going to compensate her a huge sum. It was more than enough for her to live a comfortable life.Did she really want to leave, or was she just putting on an act?Mia held her phone tightly, still processing the news of her family having found her. In the past, she'd dreamed of her family finding her one day so she wouldn't be alone anymore.She was distracted by these thoughts, but in Timothy's eyes,

    Timothy had never thought about marrying Mia. But since he'd already had, he could've put her upbringing and poor background behind him as long as she knew her place. He had more than enough money to support her, anyway.Yet she'd caused trouble time and time again. Now, she couldn't even be bothered to put up an act anymore. She'd revealed her true colors!Timothy should've felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders, but when he saw the divorce agreement that she'd signed, he couldn't help feeling powerless.There was deep sorrow hidden in Mia's eyes. She pretended she didn't care because she didn't want Timothy to trample on her dignity even as she was leaving.When Maya saw that things were getting out of hand, she quickly said, "Mia, were you so quick to sign the divorce agreement because you already found someone new?"Timothy's expression turned cold. He watched Mia like a hawk, his gaze appraising.Mia took in the mistrust on his face and said, "Yeah, of course.

    "Because to me, you're my family too," Timothy said.When Sharon heard the word 'family', her eyes turned red. Then, she turned around and left the ward.Mia walked out and asked Peyton to send Sharon to the hospital for a checkup.Looking at Sharon's back, Mia said, "I hope you don't let him down since he regards you as his family. He's the only one you can depend on now."Sharon did not turn her head around. Mia did not know if Sharon would listen to her advice.Mia immediately called her brother. "Dominic, I met Maya."She then told him everything about Maya.Dominic frowned. "I never thought she would go to Yellow Island.""Do you think she's really the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island?""Don't you know how good she is at lying?" Dominic said.Mia nodded. "Yeah, you're right. But I still don't know whether she's related to Yellow Island.""Don't worry, I'll find out."When Mia returned to the ward after ending the call, she saw a doctor bustling arou

    Mia went straight to the hospital to ask Timothy about the matter.But when she arrived, someone had reached there earlier than her."Timothy, what do you mean? All I did was pull a few strings, but you want to humiliate me publicly. How am I going to maintain my standing in the company?" Sharon said.Mia went in with a frown. "This is funny. It's not just about pulling a few strings, but it's aimed at me. Mrs. Barrett, your actions have leaked confidential commercial information.""Stop trying to scare me. It's my son who opened doors for you. It's the Yellow Islanders who wanted to collaborate with us, and they are much better than you," Sharon retorted. Mia said with a half-hearted smile, "At first, I didn't want to pursue this matter. But since you put it this way, wait for my lawyer's letter then.""Such big talk, huh?" A mysterious-looking woman wearing a hat and a mask walked in from outside.Mia felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar. "Are you the rumored granddau

    Mia glanced at the person on the screen. Without answering the woman, she turned off the laptop.After all, there was no need for Mia to explain anything.After Mia turned off the laptop assertively, she turned around and looked at Timothy. He did not say a word but started eating.Soon, Heath received a call. He left the ward and said to the woman on the other side of the phone, "She's Mr. Barrett's ex-wife. You'd better not mess with her."While Timothy was eating, Mia finished reading the proposal in her hand.She had to admit that the document was very valuable.Mia was about to leave the ward when Timothy almost finished eating, but his voice sounded behind her. "What did you say when you met her at the cafe earlier?""Did you follow me?""I followed her, to be exact. After all, the Hopkins are not good people."Mia totally agreed with that.She paused briefly before she said, "Grandma Laura asked me to talk to her because she doesn't agree with you about giving her all

    "You don't know anything," Sharon said.Mia retorted, "I might not know everything, but Timothy is innocent. Before he knew the truth, he always regarded you as his mother. Even after he found out the truth, he has never mistreated you."Besides, when you said you wanted the Barrett family's wealth, he agreed. Tell me, who else could do what he did?"Mia felt that Timothy might have been hurt by Sharon's words.He seemed impressive on the outside, but his identity was a dark secret.Therefore, his relationship with Sharon became awkward.Sharon's eyes reddened. "But I also treat him like my biological son.""You're also his foster mother. Now everyone related to him is dead, and you're the only one he has. What are you afraid of?"Sharon wiped off her tears. "I'm not afraid of anything. It's just that I felt that I can't trust anyone.""Timothy is a man of his word. However, Grandma Laura said that if you remain stubborn, making the will public is her only option," Mia said.

    Mia noticed Sharon's expression changing slightly when she mentioned Laura.Sharon took her cup of coffee and said, "What? Does Mrs. Barrett Senior still want to lecture me even when she's on her deathbed? She must have known Timothy's identity all along, but she conspired with her son to keep the truth from me. "She and the Barretts are birds of a feather. What else does she have to say?"Mia was not surprised by her words. She had expected that Sharon would certainly think this way.Fortunately, she managed to stop Laura when she said she wanted to meet Sharon.Sharon was emotionally unstable now. What if Laura said something unpleasant and Sharon retorted? Her words might upset Laura.Mia took a kraft envelope out of her handbag and placed it in front of Sharon. "I hope you won't regret saying those words after reading this.""What's this?""This is the will that your husband left behind, as well as the divorce agreement."Hearing that, Sharon quickly took the document out

    Mia hesitated to risk exposing Laura to Sharon's potential agitation.Due to Sharon's emotional vulnerability, she often spoke impulsively. With Laura's delicate health in mind, any disruption was simply out of the question.As Laura recounted past events, Mia remained silent, absorbing her words.Upon hearing Laura's story, Mia was taken aback. She hadn't expected there to be hidden aspects to Timothy's family history.Taking a moment, she asked, "Does Timothy have any knowledge of this?""He doesn't. Some things are best kept from him," Laura replied calmly.Mia harbored some lingering questions in her mind. Unable to suppress them any longer, she asked, "Considering your knowledge of Timothy's background, what is your opinion of him?""Tim is a commendable young man, and he has never let our family down. He has achieved remarkably well for himself. To be honest, I feel indebted to him as well."At first, I only kept him around for the sake of preserving the Barrett family li

    Despite her initial reluctance, Mia eventually found herself making her way to Timothy's ward.As she entered, she couldn't help but notice Timothy's expressionless demeanor as he lay there.Carrying a tray of food, Mia approached him. "The doctor pointed out your extreme fatigue. It's crucial that you increase your food intake and prioritize proper rest to reduce the risk of sudden complications."Upon hearing Mia's voice, Timothy lifted his gaze to find her seated beside him. His lips moved slightly as he asked, "What did you tell Luna?""Not much," Mia responded. "Just a sprinkle of salt on the wound and a dash of psychological pressure to make sure Luna doesn't have it easy in prison."Placing the tray of food in front of him, Mia urged, "Please, just a few bites.""I'll eat later. By the way, the kids have been here at the hospital for quite a while. You should take them home," Timothy suggested.Frowning, Mia insisted, "You should eat something first."As her words faded,
