After a brief pause, Mia spoke up, "Jason, are you serious?"

"I don't joke about these things," Jason replied.

Mia couldn't help but feel uneasy. "So... you probably haven't gone to see Timothy yet, have you?"

"I just did. I came to pick you up right after," Jason replied.

Mia felt a sense of dread wash over her.

If only she had clarified everything with Jason earlier, none of this would have happened.

Turning to Jason, Mia asked, "Jason, why didn't you inform me about something this important?"

"Mia, I should be the one handling these matters for you. You don't need to worry about it at all.

"Leaving a marriage with nothing is simply unacceptable. Asking for money doesn't make you materialistic.

"These are all toxic beliefs that men try to instill in women, manipulating them into thinking they shouldn't value money. But in the end, it's these men who benefit," Jason explained.

Upon hearing this, Mia couldn't help but sigh. "I understand that you're looking out for me, but my

    It seemed that Timothy had managed to outsmart Jason, the esteemed lawyer from Nord City.Mia reassured Jason, saying, "Jason, this situation isn't your fault. I never intended to ask for anything anyway. Let's just accept it for what it is."Jason remained silent, grappling with the sting of defeat."Please, Jason, promise me you won't approach Timothy about the property settlement. I simply want to sever ties with the Barrett family," Mia pleaded.After all, within Mia's belly lay what she considered to be her most precious asset: her twins. With that in mind, nothing else seemed to matter.As Jason looked into Mia's imploring eyes, a sigh escaped him.At that moment, he finally understood the meaning of Connor's previous comment about being unable to resist Mia's pleas.Now, Jason too found himself incapable of refusal.However, despite agreeing to Mia's request, he couldn't shake off this lingering sense of injustice.After organizing the documents, Mia returned home, putt

    Upon hearing this, Timothy was stunned, his dark eyes reflecting disbelief.He instinctively replied, "Of course not!"How could he possibly have feelings for Mia?Caleb said to Timothy sternly, "If you truly had no feelings for Mia, why are you so unguarded around her? It shows that, subconsciously, you trust her a great deal."And on top of that, you two have been in a messy divorce for so long. She's been involved with other men, and you've put up with it until now. Do you think you're being fair to yourself?"Timothy pursed his lips, a cold expression forming on his face. "I'm doing this for Grandma Laura's sake."Caleb remarked, "Indeed, before Grandma Laura had her surgery, everyone thought Mia would try to take advantage of the situation to cling to you."Now that Grandma Laura's surgery is over, why haven't you and Mia proceeded with the divorce?"Furthermore, when Mia's lawyer came to discuss the property settlement with you, you simply signed without even going throug

    "Jason Lane," Timothy said. "Another individual from the Lane family? You mentioned Mia's close bond with Connor before, didn't you? Is it possible that the Lanes harbor some hidden agenda against your family?" Caleb speculated. Timothy took another sip of wine. "It's not directed at my family, but rather at Mia herself.""I'm telling you, Tim, if you've developed feelings for Mia, and considering you two haven't finalized the divorce yet, it'll be quite easy for you to keep her around."After all, Mia used to idolize you, sticking to you like a devoted wife. If you just show her a bit of attention, won't she just return to you?" Caleb expressed.Upon hearing these words, Timothy's mind quickly recalled what Mia had said before: "If you replace your boyfriend quickly enough, you won't have time to feel sad."As long as your new boyfriend is up to par, you'll be able to forget your ex."Timothy pressed his lips together. "She's not as easily persuaded now."Since Timothy propo

    As Timothy stared at the missed call, he could almost guess the reason Mia was calling.Caleb was unsure of how to reply and simply said, "It's up to you!"With a puzzled expression, Timothy asked, "If she asks about the divorce settlement, how should I respond?"Caleb covered his face, sounding somewhat helpless. "Just say whatever feels right."At this point, Timothy seemed to be facing a grim situation.Glancing at his phone, Timothy ultimately decided not to call back, simply setting his phone aside.Caleb stared at Timothy in surprise. "Aren't you going to return her call?"Timothy replied with an air of arrogance, "I'm just waiting for her to contact me first.""Are you sure about that?""Given all that money she has now, she won't find it easy to sleep tonight. She's bound to come looking for me," Timothy said confidently, although he knew deep down that Mia wasn't materialistic.Observing Timothy's aloof demeanor, Caleb couldn't help but sigh.Just moments ago, Caleb

    "Indeed, it has nothing to do with you, and it's certainly none of your business!" Mia retorted before making her way toward the academic building.As Maya caught on, she watched Mia's departing figure with frustration. "Mia, you'd better hold on and explain yourself!"Mia glanced back. "Edwin's grandfather lived a long life because he minded his own business! Whether I learn piano or not is none of your concern!"With those words, Mia continued on her way, a faint smirk playing on her lips as she dismissed Maya's earlier derogatory remarks.Playing the piano was merely a hobby for Mia.She had no intentions of competing or joining the music team for the upcoming show. Her goal was simply to fulfill the unmet desires from her early years.Despite her fading memories of childhood, playing the piano faintly revived fragments of her past.Mia went directly to an empty classroom on the fourth floor to practice. With a deep breath, she began playing the piano piece from memory.Play

    Maya stared at the building before her, the piano's melody blending with other instruments, stirring a deep-seated fear within her.After deceiving her way into the Lane family, Maya often had nightmares of the day she would be exposed—the true heiress found and brought back, while she was ruthlessly cast out, left to endure extreme poverty once more.A shadow cast over Maya's eyes; she vowed never to return to such hardship!Maya was determined to locate the true heiress before the Lane family did, regardless of the cost.This was the only way Maya could safeguard her position, ensuring the real heiress would never have the chance to return and replace her.After a few minutes, the piano piece concluded.Maya felt a cold sweat breaking out on her back; during this time, she hadn’t been able to sleep well.She knew that if the Lanes discovered the true heiress before she did, it would mean the end for her.After completing her piano practice in the classroom, Mia headed straigh

    Nonetheless, Mia happened to have important matters to discuss with Timothy.Just as Mia was about to approach him, a woman in front of her hurried over. The woman’s face was flushed as she asked, "Mr. Shaw, did you call for me?"Mia was taken aback.Kennedy also stopped and clarified, "I didn't summon you; I called for Mia."Nervously clearing her throat, Mia approached, noticing the woman's displeased glare.Mia understood her implication. After all, who could resist someone as handsome and wealthy as Timothy?He appeared to be the epitome of every woman's dream man.Stepping away from the crowd, Mia felt many eyes on her, most of them tinged with a hint of jealousy.Mia let out a soft sigh, attributing it all to Timothy's irresistible charm.Quietly, she followed behind Kennedy, hoping to blend in as an inconspicuous follower.However, Kennedy unexpectedly stepped aside and gestured for her to take the lead, saying, "Mia, why don't you go ahead and show Mr Barrett around t

    Mia found Timothy's actions somewhat perplexing; the divorce agreement explicitly stated that he would be required to transfer all his shares to her.Following Jason's stipulations, Timothy would essentially be walking away from their marriage without any assets.Mia couldn't understand how Timothy could remain so composed in the face of it all!Timothy reclined in his chair, gazing at Mia. "I'm not feeling rushed at all. Why are you so anxious?"Mia was taken aback. Had she heard him correctly?She couldn't help but chuckle in exasperation."Timothy, if you're not feeling pressured, then I'll simply take this divorce agreement to the Barrett Group's office tomorrow, and I suppose I'll assume your role as CEO."After saying those words, Mia noticed that Timothy showed no signs of anger. Instead, a playful smile appeared on his lips."Well, that sounds like a plan. The office workload has been overwhelming lately, and I think it's about time for me to take a break."If you ever

    None of the major shareholders was a fool.After that, Mia was busy handling Barrett Group affairs and barely had time to rest.With an exhausted look, she returned to the hospital.Mia looked at Timothy and said, "I'll run away if you don't wake up soon.""No… Please don't go…" Timothy grabbed her hand. His gaze was deep.Mia's eyes reddened as she gazed at the man who had just regained consciousness. Timothy finally came out of his coma.After that, everything was back to normal. Those who caused trouble quieted down.Sharon visited Timothy and told him that she was going to settle down overseas and would not come back anymore.Timothy bought her a property and gave her a huge sum of money before sending her away from Bern City.As for Maya, it was discovered that she was not the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island but merely his caregiver. Yet, she had been deceiving people outside.After Maya was exposed, she ran away dejectedly. Nobody knew where she was

    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,
