Mia lowered her eyes to conceal her true emotions at Shelly's words. She'd already signed the divorce papers; who Timothy wanted to cheer on and be with was none of her business.Later, no matter what else Shelly said, Mia ignored her. Soon, Maya walked on stage to announce the commencement of the ceremony. "As we all know, there have been some changes to the rules for this year's competition."There will only be ten winners, which means one of the 11 finalists will leave with nothing. For the sake of fairness, the designers' names will be concealed when the judging is conducted. The announcement of the winners will also be different—we'll start from the tenth place."Mia looked at the panel of judges. Timothy was among them. Obviously, he was one of the judges.If she were being completely honest, she was quite nervous. At this moment, she received a WhatsApp message from Liam. "Don't worry. You'll be fine."Half an hour later, the judging ended. On stage, Maya announced the resu

Mia barked out a laugh. "I don't need them, and I don't need you to interfere in my matters. Let go of me!""You'd better watch your attitude!" Timothy growled.As they fought, Maya's voice rang out. "Tim!"Mia watched as Maya and Shelly approached them from the other end of the corridor. At this moment, the grip on her wrist disappeared. Timothy retracted his hand.A trace of mockery flashed in Mia's eyes. He'd let go so quickly when he saw Maya coming. Was he afraid of her getting the wrong idea?Maya's gaze became colder when she saw Timothy's and Mia's linked hands. But on the surface, she smiled innocently. "I was looking for you everywhere, Tim. The judges are wanted for a discussion."Maya strode over and looked at Mia. "I'm sorry you didn't win anything this time, Ms. Bowen. You're pretty talented, though. Maybe you can try again next time."Mia didn't say anything. She looked at Maya coldly.Timothy turned away. "Let's go."Maya nodded. "Okay. I'll be right behind you

Timothy looked up. "A special prize for her?""Yeah. My brother called me earlier and called for a re-judging. I'm guessing it's because of Liam, but there's really no need for the judges to go through the judging again. It's not like there'll be a change in the results. That's why I've decided to set up a special prize for Mia. I don't really have a choice."After saying that, Maya sneaked a glance at Timothy's expression. Deep inside, she felt angry. She didn't understand why Dominic wanted her to do this, but she felt it had something to do with Liam. Then again, at least it would ensure Timothy wouldn't get back together with Mia.Timothy frowned and put the designs he held on the table. "Which ones are Mia's designs?""The judging's supposed to be done anonymously, Tim. I'm guessing that her designs were pretty bad for her to be eliminated." Maya calmly collected the designs on the table. "Thanks for your hard work, everyone. Let's leave things at this. I'll announce the resul

Shelly sighed. "Man, I'm so jealous that you have a brother who dotes on you so much."Maya smiled happily. "He really does. He's always worrying that I push myself too hard and that others will bully me."After expressing her envy again, Shelly turned to look at Mia. "What are you still doing here? Don't tell me you think you'll have a chance at winning something. Anyone with the slightest brains would've already left."Mia didn't respond to that. She noticed Timothy was looking at her with a hint of appraisal. She asked, "Why should I leave when the ceremony isn't over yet?"Shelly snorted. "I suppose that makes sense. It's a rare occasion for you to be able to attend high-end functions like this. Remember to take a few more photos so you can share them on your Instagram, or else you won't have any chances in the future."You're nothing now that you've left the Barrett family. Isn't that so, Timothy?"Timothy frowned. "No one will think you're a mute if you keep your mouth shut

Mia slowly stood up. She could feel several gazes landing on her.Shelly looked at Maya in disbelief. "Has there been some sort of mistake, Maya? How can Mia win first place? Wasn't everyone saying that Wilhelmina's actually Zoe?"Earlier, Wilhelmina hadn't denied that she was Zoe—everyone had taken it as her admission that she was. But now, if the first-place winner was Mia, didn't that mean Mia was Zoe?Shelly was on the verge of a breakdown. How could this be? Mia was a peasant from the slums who knew nothing. How could she be Zoe, the renowned designer?Maya was close to losing control of her expression. She glanced at Timothy anxiously. As expected, he was looking at Mia.Timothy watched as Mia stood up from her seat in the second row. Her champagne-colored dress accentuated her smooth skin, and her face was alight with happiness. Even her eyes were shining.In this instant, she looked like she was glowing. She was nothing like the timid, lowly woman in his memories.But wh

A trace of mockery flashed in Mia's eyes. "Some personal matters delayed me for three years, that's all."Three years ago, she'd married Timothy. Off stage, Timothy frowned. Was she saying that he'd held her back for three years?He leaned back, feeling annoyed as he glared at Mia. How dare she imply that! She was the one who'd married him for money!Maya subconsciously glanced at Timothy. When she noticed how he only had eyes for Mia, she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. Her gaze darkened.At this moment, the chief coordinator said, "Feel free to say a few more words, Ms. Bowen. Quite a number of people here are curious to know more about Zoe's—or perhaps I should say, your—participation in this competition."Mia accepted the microphone with a glance at Maya. "Firstly, I have to thank Ms. Lane for allowing me to experience going from being eliminated to winning first place."Maya could barely keep her smile in place. Still, she had to force hersel

Mia had to admit that she'd done it on purpose. She held her trophy tightly when she noticed that Timothy's back was to her. It seemed he hadn't turned to look at her, nor was he bothered by her earlier actions.Mia retracted her gaze and caught Maya approaching them. She didn't seem to be looking at Mia, though. Her gaze was fixed on Liam. Did they know each other?Maya greeted Liam with a smile. "I didn't expect to run into you here."Liam sounded cool and distant. "The world can be a small place."Maya wanted to say something else, but Liam didn't give her the chance to. "Let's go, Mia."Mia didn't think there was any need for her to remain there. It would be good to head home earlier. She wasn't too used to wearing heels and almost twisted her ankle as she walked. Liam held her up by the arm. "Slow down.""Okay." She linked arms with him; it made her feel more secure. She didn't want to embarrass herself by slipping and falling.When they got to the entrance, the paparazzi s

Maya's expression changed. "Dominic, I can explain this. I had nothing to do with this; someone else messed up somewhere.""But you're the one running the show. It's your responsibility to bear."When Dominic had learned about Mia going missing for a short while because she was so upset over being eliminated, he'd been so panicked that he'd almost rushed over to the ceremony to stand up for her. Fortunately, Eva had stopped him.It was also fortunate that the truth had been revealed and that Mia had turned out to be Zoe. There was no doubt she'd won first place based on her skill.Dominic didn't want Mia to suffer any grievances, especially since this was such an important competition.Maya wanted to continue explaining herself, but the call had already been disconnected. She knew how decisive and ruthless Dominic was, so she didn't dare to call him to continue arguing with him.On the outside, it seemed like she lived a glamorous life with the Lane family, but the truth was far

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
Meet My Brothers Chapter 1183
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
Meet My Brothers Chapter 1180
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,
