As Maya ended the call, she became more determined than ever to thwart Mia's plans.

With Sharon's assistance, Maya was confident she could stop Mia's schemes.

Meanwhile, Mia had just left the hall. She couldn’t help but feel a surge of optimism.

Maya's initial reaction had been priceless; her final act of tearing up the divorce agreement had unexpectedly played into Mia's hands.

At that moment, Kennedy approached Mia. "Mia, how did your discussion with Mr. Barrett go? Did he have any opinions on the design of the hall?"

After a brief pause, Mia responded firmly, "He assured me that everything is in order and didn't raise any objections."

Even though Mia hadn't had the opportunity to question Timothy earlier, she was certain he wouldn't be concerned about such trivial matters. It appeared there was no need for any inquiries at all.

Moments after she spoke, Mia was startled to hear Timothy's deep voice behind her, saying, "When have I ever said such a thing?"

Surprised, Mia tu

    Mia felt as if she were purging everything from her stomach.Could it be caused by something she ate for lunch?As Mia paused, a bottle of mineral water was offered to her. She couldn't help but notice Timothy's long, elegant fingers as he handed it over.Mia didn't hesitate to take the water, quickly opening it and having a few sips, which instantly revitalized her.However, she felt some discomfort and gently touched her lower abdomen, unable to pinpoint the cause but sensing that something was wrong.Furrowing his brow, Timothy glanced at Mia's stomach. "What's wrong?""It's nothing serious, just feeling a bit nauseous from the greasy meal I had earlier."Mia didn't think her nausea was a major concern, as she had been managing her pregnancy quite well, with only occasional morning sickness.As she prepared to leave, Timothy held her wrist, his gaze intense. "You should go to the hospital for a check-up," he said firmly.Mia looked at him, surprised by his sudden concern, a

    Upon hearing Heath's suggestion, Timothy's tone sharpened. "Where's the gurney?" Sky promptly directed a nurse to fetch it. Timothy gently laid Mia onto the gurney and then turned to Sky. "She's pregnant; she fainted after vomiting," he elaborated.Due to his initial haste, Timothy had overlooked the quicker option of utilizing a gurney.Having regained his composure, he promptly detailed Mia's symptoms to Dakota.Sky's attention was immediately captured after learning about Mia's pregnancy. "Mr. Barrett, you can trust us to prioritize the safety of both mother and child.""This is critical. Should anything happen to her, it could lead to serious consequences for your hospital."Timothy observed as the gurney was swiftly wheeled into the operating room for examination.He removed his suit jacket, loosening his tie as sweat dampened his back.Standing outside the operating room, Timothy's gaze shifted to the blinking red light.Unable to suppress his curiosity any longer, he t

    Upon seeing the caller ID displaying "Claudie", Timothy's brow furrowed in confusion. Who could Claudie possibly be?He continued to stare at Mia's phone which was ringing persistently.Unable to resist any longer, Timothy eventually picked up the phone.Claude's voice greeted him from the other end, "Mia, I'm at the university entrance. Have your lectures finished? I'm waiting for you outside."Upon hearing a male voice, Timothy's demeanor immediately turned cold. "She doesn't need you to wait for her.""Who is this?"As Timothy answered the call, Claude's expression darkened. "Let's keep this conversation civil. Maybe you should let Mia go first. Whether you're after money or want to discuss terms, that's your call."Timothy was taken aback. He had never been in need of money before.His lips pressed together into a thin line. "That's something I should be saying. In the future, perhaps you and your family should stay away from Mia. Otherwise, don't expect me to be forgiving.

    Observing Mia's disbelief, Timothy became somewhat irritated. Was this how she perceived him?Raising his gaze, Timothy retorted, "Well, what else do you expect? It's not like the babies are mine. Why would I want to keep them?"Upon hearing his words, Mia felt utterly dumbstruck. Lowering her head, she stared at her belly, tears streaming down her face.Were her babies gone?Observing Mia's tears, Timothy regretted his jest, realizing it had gone too far. "Please, don't cry—" But before he could finish, Mia suddenly sprang from the bed and charged toward him. "Timothy, I've had enough of this!"Alarmed by her sudden movement and concerned she might harm herself, Timothy swiftly pushed his laptop aside and moved to catch her.However, in the next instant, Mia firmly seized his neck.She flipped over and straddled Timothy, her hands squeezing his neck tightly. With her babies gone, she was determined to make him pay!Timothy's throat ached with pain, yet he refrained from forc

    Mia felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment upon hearing Timothy's words!What was Timothy going on about?However, Dakota remained remarkably composed, seemingly unaffected by the situation. "We have informative books on this topic available at the hospital. If you're interested, you can buy one to take home."Timothy stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Is that so? That's quite considerate."Mia interjected hastily, turning to Dakota. "Are my babies truly alright?"Even though Dakota reassured her about the twins' well-being, Mia wanted to verify once more for her peace of mind.She was wary that Timothy and Dakota might have conspired to deceive her.Glancing at Mia, Dakota responded, "If your children weren't alive, you wouldn't have the energy to speak so vigorously at the moment. After all, abortion isn't a minor procedure."Mia found reassurance in Dakota's words. She felt no discomfort in her body, especially in her lower abdomen, and detected no scent of blood.If she had

    Mia grabbed the tote bag and turned, facing Timothy. "I'm totally fine anyways. I was just too tired and my blood sugar level was low."His eyes darkened and he stood. "I'll give you a ride.""No, thank you. I can take a cab home. We're heading in different directions. I've troubled you enough. You've taken me to the hospital. How could I let you drive me home again? It's fine, really."The distance she intended to put displeased him. "Are you afraid that someone might misunderstand something after seeing you taking my car?"Mia couldn't understand how he came to that conclusion. "You're the one misunderstanding here. I simply don't want to waste your precious time, Mr. Barrett."Having said that, she left the room. After barely taking a few steps, she could hear steady footsteps behind her.Mia entered the elevator and that bastard followed along. Due to the little space, they stood very close to each other.The elevator stopped at the next floor and the people filled the space

    The elevator reached the first floor. The passengers exited it and it became spacious.However, the old lady and the boy blocked the way out of the elevator, not planning to let Mia and Timothy leave.The old lady didn't stop her rant. "Explain! How could you not respect the elderly and care for the kids a single bit?"Mia, who was still standing in the corner, raised her head to glance at Timothy and whispered, "We're here."In other words, he didn't need to shield her anymore.Only then did he straighten his back and take a few steps backward. The atmosphere became strange for some reason.She could feel her face burning as well. Slowly, she lifted her head to see his broad shoulders. Spinning around, Timothy noticed the old lady blocking the way and frowned. That was a rare moment for him to encounter such a preposterous incident since he was used to private hospitals.Soon, Heath showed up with a group of bodyguards. The formidable figures stood behind the old lady, who

    The dismissal notice did fluster the old lady, but she soon regained her composure. "Son, don't be a scaredy cat. "You're a top scholar with capabilities. You'll be able to work as a higher-up in another company too."That earned a cold snort from Timothy. "Don't insult the higher-ups with his ordinary abilities."He then left with Mia following behind him. She cast a backward glance at the fighting mother and son, feeling light-hearted.Judging from the old lady's bold tone, she might be used to be the oppressing party all the time. If her son had controlled her temper, she wouldn't have acted that way, which left Mia with one conclusion—the man usually acted the same as the old lady did.Perhaps, there could be a number of subordinates he had picked on. Now that he was dismissed, Mia didn't feel a tinge of pity for him at all.Mia faced forward only to realize that Timothy was waiting for her. "Do you think that my actions were too much?"She didn't know how to respond to t

    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.

    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,
