Chapter 522

Author: Red Thirteen
To prevent any complications for Patricia, Mia decided to keep the news to herself for the time being.

She pulled out her phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Gina: "Hey Gigi, I have to head out now. Today has been a whirlwind. Allow me to have some time for myself to process everything, and then we can plan our next outing."

Gina responded promptly: "I understand. Today feels surreal. My bestie turning out to be a wealthy heiress? It's like I'm living in a movie!"

Mia felt reassured by Gina's response, relieved that she wasn't upset.

Mia had left in a haste earlier, inadvertently leaving Gina behind in the hall.

Upon returning home, everyone made arrangements to take Patricia out for a meal.

However, as Mia approached the door, she noticed several snake-skin bags placed outside.

She pushed open the door and stepped inside, calling out, "Aunt Patricia?"

"Oh goodness, if it isn't Mia! You're blossoming more and more every day.

"Remember when I used to say Mia couldn't possibly

    Observing Karen's envious expression, Mia purposefully turned to Patricia and suggested, "You know, since we're going out for dinner tonight, why don't you wear the bracelet? It's been a while since you wore it."Patricia chuckled. "I work at the supermarket most of the time, so there's hardly any chance to wear it. Plus, I'd be devastated if it were to get scratched or damaged.""Well, since we're dining out today and you're not on duty, why not wear it now? It's the perfect occasion," Mia suggested."Yes, go ahead, put it on. Let everyone admire the gift Mia gave you," Eva chimed in.Unable to resist their persistence, Patricia eventually relented and headed to the bedroom to retrieve the bracelet.Mia shared a knowing look with Eva, who had just picked up on her subtle signal.Shortly after, Patricia emerged wearing the diamond bracelet. Karen couldn't help but gaze at it enviously. "So, this is Mia's purchase. It's quite lovely and bears a resemblance to my bracelet," Eva sai

    "Mia, your cousin Sean is now working in express delivery, so he had first-hand knowledge about this industry."It appeared that Sean was involved in delivery services. Perhaps he was the one who discovered Patricia's address.What an oversight on their part.It seemed evident that Edna and Karen were trying to solicit money from Patricia in the elevator earlier.Mia didn't respond to Karen's remarks. Unfortunately, Patricia's sincere nature left her oblivious to the hidden agenda behind their words.In the end, Edna and Karen could only remain silent in resignation.Karen stole a glance at the bracelet gracing Patricia's wrist, her eyes betraying a hint of envy.Valued at 100 thousand dollars, Karen couldn't help but imagine how exquisite it would look on her wrist.As the elevator doors opened, they eventually stepped out.Mia escorted Patricia outside, disregarding Edna and Karen trailing behind.Outside, six cars were parked, and as Mia and Patricia emerged, the five brot

    Mia discreetly averted her gaze, feigning ignorance.Beside her, Karen appeared taken aback by Eva's direct remark.Struggling to respond, she said, "Why does background matter so much nowadays? Our family showed Mia kindness in the past. Just because she's found wealthier relatives, does that mean she should forget about us?""As far as I know, it was only Patricia who showed kindness to Mia. It's not fair to credit the rest of you."Besides, my brothers-in-law are looking for partners whose backgrounds match theirs, or at least aren't impoverished!"Eva's words were sharp and unapologetic.Feeling humiliated, Karen's eyes teared up. "Who are you to label us as poor? Is money all that matters?"Edna intervened abruptly, reproaching, "That's enough! Show some decorum, will you? They are from wealthy backgrounds, unlike Sally. Have you no sense of shame?""Fine, I guess I'm just an unwanted guest here, right? I'll go."Frustrated, Karen slammed her hand on the table and rose to

    Mia spoke nonchalantly, "How do you want me to help?"Regina remarked, "This dress of mine isn't expensive, just 5,000 dollars.""Mia, given your wealth, you surely won't be short of this amount, right? This woman's audacity to look down on us is astonishing. What's 5,000 dollars for a dress? The one you're wearing is far more luxurious."Mia was momentarily speechless. "She didn't look down on me; she simply looked down on you."Karen's expression tensed. "But aren't we family?""I only regard Patricia as my family," Mia replied, her tone cold.Casting a glance at Patricia, Mia suggested, "Why don't you head to the restroom? I'll wait for you outside.""Patricia! You can't simply ignore me. If you don't help me, I'll end up getting arrested today. You need to help me cover the compensation."With tears in her eyes, Edna grabbed Patricia's hand, pleading, "Patricia, when you weren't around, it was Karen who looked after me. Can you bear to see her like this?"Mia couldn't stan

    Mia understood Edna and Karen's true intentions.Despite seeking loans, they were more interested in receiving handouts than repaying their debts.Over the years, they had borrowed substantial amounts from Patricia without any intention of returning the money.Mia vividly remembered their indifference when James fell seriously ill and needed urgent financial assistance. This memory remained etched in her mind.Consequently, Mia had no intention of portraying herself as a saint.However, Karen remained adamant about not wanting to draft a loan agreement.Standing nearby, Regina became increasingly impatient. "Are you going to make the payment or do I need to involve the authorities? I don't have time to deal with your drama."Observing Regina reach for her phone to call the authorities, Karen reluctantly took the paper and drafted a loan agreement.Mia couldn't help but smirk. "Alright, would you prefer Venmo or Apple Pay?""Venmo works."Without hesitation, Mia promptly trans

    Edna quickly feigned discomfort, claiming, "My leg is acting up again. It must be my old ailment resurfacing.""Mom, you can sleep in my room," Patricia offered, unwilling to leave Edna to sleep uncomfortably in the living room.In the end, Mia had no choice but to let Patricia share her room, while Edna and Karen occupied Patricia's room.As Mia completed her bedtime routine and settled into bed, she couldn't shake the surreal feeling of the day, as if it were a dream.It was almost unbelievable that she had truly become the legitimate heiress of the Lane family!However, Mia decided not to inform Patricia about this just yet, concerned that Edna and Karen might fake knowledge of the situation.It seemed wiser to wait until she traveled to Nord City with her brothers before divulging the news to Patricia.A gentle smile adorned Mia's lips as a wave of relief swept over her. Could this be the dawn of her newfound freedom as a carefree heiress?…In the morning, Mia swiftly fin

    Mia couldn't help but frown, pondering Timothy's intentions.Having already drawn considerable attention at the university, Mia was wary of inviting more scrutiny.Certainly, given her current position as the Lane family heiress, Timothy wouldn't risk acting against her.Moreover, Mia now had the support of her six brothers.With these considerations, Mia grabbed her bag and descended the stairs, swiftly slipping into the car to avoid being noticed by others.Timothy cast a glance at her. "Do all pregnant women dash about like you do?"Mia's unease became evident. "What's on your mind? Just say it outright. I'm rather busy, you know.""Start driving."As the car began to move, Mia's apprehension grew. "Timothy, where are you taking me?""Don't worry. I'm not going to harm you.""I'm warning you, if you try anything with me, my brothers won't let you get away with it!"Mia had never felt so empowered by her six brothers' support, sensing she held the upper hand.

    With her newfound wealth, Mia decided to indulge a bit.She selected a few silk scarves that she thought would suit Laura's complexion perfectly.As Mia approached the checkout counter, someone behind her handed over a card and said, "Put it on mine."Mia grabbed the card and turned to see Timothy standing there. "What's this for?""I'm not the type to let women pay," Timothy replied. "Oh, is that so? I don't recall you being so considerate back when I was footing the bill for groceries and cooking."Now that we're divorced and I've achieved financial stability, you suddenly refuse to let women pay? Seems a bit late for chivalry," Mia retorted sharply.The store clerk nodded in agreement. "Absolutely. As women, we should strive for self-reliance and financial independence," she asserted."Exactly. Here, use my card," Mia replied, handing over her bank card.Once the transaction was done, she grabbed the box of scarves and walked away without looking back.Watching her depart

    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,
