Mia glanced back, her eyes filled with disbelief as she realized that the phone belonged to Eva.

So, Eva was the cardholder?

However, according to Shelly's earlier explanation, acquiring such a card required an annual expenditure of a million dollars, along with other evidence of status, making it unlikely to be easily obtained.

Could Eva's family be that affluent?

With a mocking expression, Shelly taunted, "Mia, did you guys steal someone else's card in the store? Now that you've been caught red-handed, let's see what excuses you come up with."

Chelsea glanced at the buzzing phone on the sofa before turning to Penny. "Is the owner of this phone in the fitting room, perhaps?"

Just then, Eva walked over, reaching for the phone as she gave it a wave. "Apologies, but this is actually mine," she remarked.

Shelly's expression morphed into one of disbelief. "That can't be right. Just because the owner isn't here, do you think it's okay to take their belongings?"

Since when did Mia ha

    Shelly held her herself back from speaking out, reluctant to reveal Mia's pregnancy to Sharon.If Sharon were to accept Mia due to her child, it could potentially jeopardize Shelly's future within the Barrett family.Sharon was furious, her body trembling with anger. "Mia, your true colors are finally showing. Let me make one thing clear. With your incompatible background, you are entirely undeserving of Tim.""Exactly! The contrast between your worlds is undeniable!" Shelly chimed in. Eva stood up in defense of Mia, scoffing, "You don't even own a VIP membership card, yet you dare to act like you're wealthy? You're just relying on sheer nerve, aren't you? Mia couldn't care less about your family!"Sharon responded arrogantly, "Oh, please. My son happens to be the CEO of the Barrett Group!""So what? You can't even secure a VIP membership card! It seems you're just recently affluent!"Eva turned to Chelsea and asked, "According to the regulations, VIP members have the authority

    The more Sharon dwelled on the situation, the angrier she became. As the respected matriarch of the Barrett family, she expected nothing less than utmost respect and deference in Bern City.Never before had she endured such humiliation!If Laura hadn't considered the VIP membership card too extravagant and wasteful, Sharon would undoubtedly have had one herself.Then, she wouldn't have had to endure this humiliation at the hands of Mia today!Shelly nodded eagerly and exclaimed, "Aunt Sharon, you need to make this clear to Timothy—this mall is owned by our family. It's utterly outrageous that a modest store would dare to kick you out."They clearly don't know their place. Timothy should promptly shut down this store and expel them along with Mia!"Shelly was furious, finding Mia's arrogant demeanor intolerable.Sharon shared the sentiment; how dare Mia, a humble servant who was once cast out by their family, behave so boldly toward her! She immediately dialed Timothy's number.

    To Timothy's surprise, Mia's family was the rightful owner of the VIP membership card.According to Shelly, Mia's sister possessed the card, eliminating any possibility of it being lost or stolen.Indeed, it seemed that Mia's family was quite wealthy!No wonder Mia's confidence had skyrocketed. Discovering her family was undoubtedly a joyous occasion. But why would she choose to keep it a secret? If Laura knew, she'd be thrilled too."Tim, are you paying attention? I'm instructing you to remove Mia from the mall!"Timothy couldn't help but feel excluded, realizing that he had been kept in the dark about Mia's family.Rubbing his temples, he replied, "Mom, everyone is familiar with the rules regarding the brand's membership cards."When you were clearing out the mall previously, did you ever take into account the lower-tier members?"Sharon was momentarily taken aback. "Tim, that isn't a fair comparison.""Why should it be any different? The mall, invested in by the Barrett Gro

    Mia looked at Eva. Everything felt surreal to her, especially when Eva gave the other party a reality check by flashing her VIP membership card. Eva was so cool.Eva let out a wry cough. "Your brothers' businesses are on the roll lately. The companies that are supposed to be listed are listed. I previously invested my wedding gift in their startups and I now should receive my returns, shouldn't I?""Is this how successful their businesses are?" Something felt off to Mia, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.Eva went silent for a moment. When she was going to say something, Mia's phone rang.Mia checked her phone and realized that it was a message from Timothy. 'Done shopping?'She had a guess—Sharon might've snitched to that bastard."Mia, who's texting you?" asked Eva."A friend." Hurriedly, Mia kept her phone.The store manager approached her with a warm smile. "This is a bag from our latest collection. It complements the dress really well. Do you like it?"Eva's e

    "You're being too understanding, Mia. It pains me to see you like this. Don't worry. At the upcoming party this weekend, every one of us is there for you."Eva gritted her teeth, recalling that a charity auction would be held during the party.Considering that the Barretts were the host, Eva was resolute to teach them a lesson that night.How could she simply turn a blind eye to Mia's suffering when Dominic couldn't either?Meanwhile, Mia simply assumed that Eva had given up on a retaliation, hence the sigh of relief. "We've bought the clothes we need. Let's go home.""Okay. Bill, please." Eva bought many clothes as though they were worth nothing. She seemed used to it.That strange feeling stirred in Mia again. Still, Eva's spending wouldn't cause a problem because Dominic and the others were raking in big money.Together, they returned home with fruitful shopping. Patricia kept rambling about how wasteful they were at the sight of the pile of clothes, but that didn't stop he

    The next morning, Mia kept having a bad feeling about the day.Her hunch was telling her that something bad was going to happen.She took a cab to college. Riley spoke to her. "Mia, could you contact Dana?""Dana? We hadn't contacted each other since the day I found out she was the one who reported me anonymously. What happened to her?""The management is investigating her and found that she had violated the rules before. In addition to the terrible effect caused by her anonymous report, we decided to expel her. We need her to come to sign the papers, but we can't reach her."Expel Dana?Mia didn't expect the punishment to be this severe. She initially thought that it would end with a warning and a merit deduction.Noticing her hesitation, Riley continued, "Dana had previously violated the rules. She took and shared pictures of her roommate online. We've found irrefutable evidence before coming to this decision."Only then Mia realized that she had never known Dana's character

    Jealousy had taken root in Maya since then. She kept honing her piano skills just to make up for her childhood regret. Now that Mia was right before her eyes again, she couldn't help the jealousy at all."What are you doing here? Where's Dana?" Maya switched topics."That should be my line." Mia let out a meaningful smile. "You told her to approach and report me anonymously, didn't you?"An eerie shift shadowed Maya's features. "What are you talking about? I don't get it. Dana's your friend. If she reported you, you should repent."Right then, Mia reached out for Maya's hair, yanking her out of the classroom.Maya yelped. "Mia Bowen, let go of me! You're crazy!"Grabbing Maya's hair, Mia looked her nose down at her. "Look. If a stranger like me suddenly becomes physical with you, shouldn't you realize how annoying you are and go repent yourself?"The tearing of the scalps hurt so much, but Maya couldn't fight back. She barked with gritted teeth, "You're dead meat, Mia Bowen!"

    Trepidation trapped Maya as soon as she heard the news. Something was going on without her knowledge.She glanced at Blake. "Why did Dominic and the others suddenly want to build an exhibition hall for the Design School? It'll cost an arm and a leg, won't it?""I heard that the proposed investment is one million dollars.""One million dollars? That's a huge sum of money!" Her fingers clutched onto the hat tightly. "Do you know the reason behind this?""No, not for now. But I think it has something to do with the Fleur International Design Competition. Mr. Dominic's construction company puts a lot of importance on design. They've just established a new subsidiary in Bern City. I bet this is a plan for a business expansion. They're looking out for talented designers."Maya gave it a thought. Blake's analysis made sense. It hadn't been long since Dominic's subsidiary company was established in Bern City. Besides, he had also built exhibition halls in universities back in Nord City.

    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,
