Mia glanced at the name on the business card: "CEO of Keystone Construction."

She remembered the company well, having previously assisted Timothy in delivering some documents to them.

Back then, the president of Keystone Construction had approached Timothy with an investment proposal for a golf course project.

Surprisingly, Timothy had turned down the offer.

Yet, Mia later discovered that the golf course had been developed after all.

She recalled overhearing Timothy discuss certain issues related to that specific piece of land.

"Ms. Bowen, I have no concerns with these design drafts—they all look promising to me," Keegan remarked.

"Let's shift gears for a moment. What do you enjoy doing in your free time? What are your interests?" he continued.

Upon hearing this, Mia sensed something was amiss.

She stood up and said, "Mr. Stewart, if you haven't settled on the design yet, let's discuss it when you've made your decision."

After concluding her words and attempting to leave, she

    Mia's composed demeanor stirred a subtle unease in Keegan.Without delay, Roberto took Mia's phone and commanded, "Unlock it."Mia readily complied, unlocking her phone.Following this, Keegan provided Timothy's phone number, which Roberto dialed directly from Mia's phone. In no time, her phone screen lit up with a contact name: "Scumbag."Observing the display, Mia cleared her throat lightly.

    "A dare to make a random call?" Timothy exclaimed, yanking at his tie in frustration.He had forsaken several million-dollar deals to hurry over, genuinely worried about Mia, only to find out it was just a game of truth or dare.Timothy was furious."Mia, you've truly outdone yourself this time. Seriously, next time, even if you're on your deathbed, just save yourself the trouble of calling me!" With that, he angrily turned around and stormed back to his car.Mia hesitated to bring up her unsettling encounter with Keegan at the villa. She couldn't shake off the feeling that Timothy would ridicule her if she decided to share the details.At that moment, Mia spotted a luxurious car making its way out of the villa community.As the car window rolled down, she found herself locking eyes with Keagan, who shot a glaring look in her direction.Instantly, a wave of apprehension swept over Mia.She hurried over to Timothy, who was on the verge of getting into his car, and warped her arm

    Timothy gazed into Mia's innocent eyes, feeling as though he were the antagonist in this scene.In a fleeting moment, an impulsive urge welled up within him.With his eyes fixed on the corner of her lips, Timothy leaned forward, choosing to silence Mia with a kiss in the hope of putting an end to her protests.Mia found herself momentarily caught off guard.What was he doing?Attempting to resist Timothy's advances, Mia tried to push him away.However, Timothy remained unyielding, making it impossible for her to break free.Mia's eyes widened as she stared at Timothy.His narrow eyes, reminiscent of the sea, appeared as if they could entirely engulf her.Within the confines of the car, the temperature surged noticeably.Mia tightly clutched Timothy's shirt, but her grasp seemed feeble, caught in a struggle between resistance and surrender.Finally, she bit his lip, causing Timothy to release a muffled groan and pause momentarily.His eyes, now tinged with red veins, locked

    Suddenly, a sharp knock echoed on the car window.Wearing a stern expression, Timothy rolled it down and asked, "Who is it?""I'm the traffic officer for this area, and parking is not permitted here. I recommend relocating to a nearby hotel." A middle-aged man in a bright fluorescent uniform asserted, appearing well aware of the situation.Seeing the uniformed officer, Mia instinctively covered her face, overwhelmed with embarrassment.Timothy straightened up, his serious demeanor unwavering.Responding swiftly, Rodger and Heath rushed over, efficiently moving the car from its unauthorized spot.Yet, an air of awkwardness lingered inside the car.Rodger and Heath wished they could simply vanish at that moment.Timothy bore a stern expression, his appearance disheveled. His tie was carelessly tossed aside, and his collar hung loosely, marked by creases on his shoulders.In a corner, Mia took a moment to collect herself. She discreetly glanced at Heath in the passenger seat and

    "Excellent work! Feel free to head to the store and pick up your handbag. I'll personally inform the manager about your visit.""Thank you, Ms. Barrett.

    "Fine, if that's how you all want to behave, just wait and see!" Fiona grumbled before storming out.With Fiona's departure, a sense of calm returned to the studio. However, Mia couldn't shake the feeling of her colleagues' peculiar stares, leaving her somewhat uneasy.Breaking the silence, Felix suggested, "How about we all disperse? I'll take responsibility for safeguarding the rights of our female employees in the company."Feeling relieved, Mia expressed her gratitude. "Thank you, Felix, for believing in me.""Of course, I have complete faith in you. Work situations can be tricky, but I'll take charge of this matter. We can forgo this design order."

    Timothy had already extended an olive branch to Mia. Why didn't she simply express her need for help?During her previous call seeking Timothy's assistance, she had employed sweet talk, consistently addressing him as "darling" to win him over.With a hint of hesitation, Heath asked, "So, Mr. Barrett, what should we do now?" "Must I spell it out for you? Get that trending topic taken down!" Timothy snapped, his frustration evident.Heath immediately complied, but before long, feedback from his subordinates reached him.Heath seemed perplexed as he reported, "Mr. Barrett, there's already been a request for the removal of the trending topic on their end, and the popularity has dwindled."Wearing a stern expression, Timothy inquired, "Who made the request?""It was Mr. Linden Lane from Nord City, also known as Liam."Upon hearing that name, Timothy's mood turned sour.

    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.""

    "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,
