"She mentioned running into her adoptive parents and said she'd be a bit late."

"Adoptive parents?"

Connor couldn't help but frown. Bob and Mary seemed to have a knack for causing trouble, showing up to bother Mia again.

Felix cautiously spoke up, "There's something I've been wanting to ask since a moment ago."

Connor turned his attention to Felix, asking, "What do you want to know?"

"I genuinely don't have any ulterior motives. It's just that seeing all of you at the engagement ceremony caught me by surprise. Are you somehow related to Ms. Lane? Mia has never mentioned this before."

When Mia met Maya, her demeanor was distant, lacking the warmth a person might expect between relatives.

Connor raised an eyebrow, realizing he had almost forgotten about this matter.

Initially, they thought Mia would be present today, and there seemed to be no need to conceal their identities.

However, with Mia absent, the situation had taken an unexpected turn.

    Maya couldn't comprehend why Timothy had left, and now, her brothers were also following suit.They were her family, after all. On a day as significant as her engagement, what could possibly take precedence over her?Despite Timothy's absence, having her brothers present could have salvaged the situation.However, with their departure, wouldn't she inevitably become a subject of ridicule?Maya intended to wait until Mia arrived, determined to assertively confront her once again.Dominic addressed her. "Maya, given Timothy's departure, proceeding with the engagement today seems pointless. Let's cancel it."At the mention of canceling the engagement, Maya's complexion instantly paled.She promptly responded, "Canceling the engagement is not an option. Even if Timothy can't make it due to work, we should proceed as planned."After all, even with Timothy unconscious in a hospital bed three years ago, Mia still managed to marry into the Barrett family.Connor's expression held a tr

    Maya's expression momentarily tensed, prompting Sharon to step in. "Alright, if Tim has to prioritize his career, let him. We can continue with the engagement and make the most of it."At the mention of proceeding with the engagement, Maya managed to force a smile and apologized, "Mrs. Barrett, I'm truly sorry about this.""I should be the one apologizing. Tim's behavior is a bit out of line.""It's okay; I understand that he's caught up with work." Maya smiled, yet her eyes remained devoid of warmth.Despite her internal frustrations, she couldn't afford to abandon the engagement ceremony.Shelly seized the opportunity to inquire, "Maya, where is Mia? Wasn't she supposed to be here today too?"Frustrated, Maya turned to Felix, demanding, "Where is Mia? What happened to her?""Her phone is off, and we're unable to contact her. I'm not sure if there's a conflict with her adoptive parents," Felix responded, expressing growing concern for Mia's well-being.Shelly sneered, "I suppo

    Mia remained unfazed. Did Shelly assume she was still the same easy target as before?Grabbing Shelly's hand, Mia effortlessly executed a shoulder throw, sending her sprawling to the ground.Wearing a tight skirt, Shelly unexpectedly found herself in a compromising position, inadvertently exposing the color of her underwear for all to see.With a disapproving click of her tongue, Mia commented, "Are you not wearing safety shorts? It seems you've opted for a thong instead. Ms. Barrett certainly knows how to have fun."Shelly let out a scream, threatening, "Mia, I'm going to kill you!"Witnessing the situation escalate, Maya quickly turned to Blake, instructing, "Swiftly clear the area and instruct anyone unrelated to leave immediately. Also, make sure to check their phones."Given that Maya was engaged to Timothy, Shelly's behavior could potentially impact Maya's reputation. Any embarrassment on Shelly's part would have repercussions on Maya's social standing.On the sidelines, F

    Maya was caught off guard by Timothy's unexpected return.His footsteps abruptly halted, and he lowered his gaze, fixing his eyes on Maya. "Let go," he commanded.Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Maya released his arm, urging, "Tim, the engagement has already started. We should head over."Sharon nodded hastily, adding, "Yes, indeed, we've already wasted enough time. We can't afford any more delays."Maya, reach out to your brothers promptly and check if they've completed their work. Let's see if they can join the celebration."Maya quickly dialed Dominic's number, but there was no response.Undeterred, she sent a text to Dominic on WhatsApp, though she harbored doubts about receiving a reply. Yet, it hardly mattered; Timothy had arrived.Shelly appeared dissatisfied. "Hold on a minute, did Mia just attack me out of the blue? Timothy, you've come at the perfect moment. Mia just physically assaulted me!"Despite Shelly's complaint, Mia remained unfazed, offering no explanation.Af

    Upon hearing Sharon's words, Mia found herself grappling with the same doubts. Wasn't today Timothy's engagement day?His remark to Shelly about Mia being her sister-in-law left her bewildered. Was he losing his senses?Could he not see how close Maya was to tears?Adorned in a bridal gown, Maya radiated purity and angelic beauty from head to toe. Was Timothy oblivious to her appearance?As Mia's imaginative banter took flight, she noticed Timothy approaching her. She kept looking up at him, to the extent that her neck began to ache.The sheer height of Timothy struck her—he was really tall!Timothy stood before Mia, his slender gaze fixed on hers.Mia's expression turned somewhat awkward as she sensed Timothy scrutinizing her strangely. What was wrong with him?Why was he staring at her like that?Relentless in her pursuit of an answer, Sharon continued to press. "Tim, won't you answer my question?"Timothy furrowed his brow, expressing displeasure at the interruption. "Why

    Timothy's expression remained cold and unyielding as he fixed his gaze on Maya. "You know what you did, Maya. I'll let it slide this time for Connor's sake."Following those words, Timothy turned on his heel and walked away.Reluctant to accept the situation, Maya hastened to catch up. "Tim, I don't understand what you're talking about. I didn't play any tricks."I simply asked Connor to perform surgery on Grandma Laura. There's nothing wrong with that!"Timothy stopped abruptly, his gaze turning icy. "But Connor said otherwise," he retorted.Maya froze in place, a wave of panic washing over her. What did Timothy imply by Connor saying otherwise?Did Connor inform Timothy that his decision to proceed with Laura's surgery wasn't influenced by Maya?This might explain the absence of anyone in the main hall when she descended after changing.Was there any conversation between Connor and Timothy during that period?Maya found herself unable to grasp the situation.

    Mia braced herself for a potential fall, yet it never occurred.Instead, she managed to regain her balance, each of her hands firmly held by someone who prevented her from stumbling.A lingering fear enveloped her. What if she had indeed fallen? What repercussions would it have on the baby growing in her belly?Reflecting on her loss of composure during the confrontation with Bob and Mary, Mia recognized the pitfalls of impulsiveness.She attempted to withdraw her hand, but both men held on firmly.A moment of silence enveloped the air.After exchanging a glance with Felix and Timothy, they eventually released Mia's hands. Upon regaining her freedom, she cleared her throat and uttered, "Thank you."Felix grinned. "No problem. After all, if you got hurt, it would be considered a workplace injury. I'm just trying to save money for the studio."Mia couldn't help but chuckle. "Well, then I better watch my step and not empty the studio's pockets."Observing the playful exchange bet

    Eventually, as Mia grappled with guilt over the engagement incident, she found it challenging to turn down Felix's offer.However, upon stepping outside, Mia was taken aback to find a familiar Volkswagen car. "Dominic?" she exclaimed.The car screeched to a halt, and Connor emerged, swiftly approaching Mia. "Mia, are you okay?""Connor?"Upon spotting Dominic's car, Mia initially assumed he had arrived, only to discover that it was actually Connor.Mia responded somewhat oddly, "Connor, I'm fine.""Your phone has been off the entire time! We were really worried!"Mia felt a pang of guilt. "My phone accidentally broke, and I've been too caught up with work to get it fixed."Felix added, "Yeah, Mia was occupied at the engagement venue for a while. We just returned to the studio."Puzzled, Connor inquired, "Mia, did you make it to the engagement ceremony? When did you get there?""I got there quite late. It was over two hours ago. What's going on, Connor?"Connor glanced at Fel

    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,
