"Grandma!" Mia cut Mildred off as soon as Mildred brought up borrowing money. She looked away, too embarrassed to meet Timothy's eyes.

Despite being rejected many times, Mildred was still shameless enough to ask for money.

"Grandma? You never see me as your grandmother. It's your younger brother we're talking about, and we shouldn't leave him high and dry." Mildred then turned to Timothy. "Will you help us, Timothy?"

Mary nodded enthusiastically on the side too. Timothy was rich, which meant that she could live comfortably in the future.

Timothy could lend them money so that they could purchase a house. Then, he could buy them a car. He might even be able to find her children a high-paying job!

Mia's breath hitched. She had already agreed to divorce Timothy. If he lent her foster parents money, she would be no different from a gold digger.

Mia looked at Mary and Mildred before speaking,

    Within seconds, Timothy felt that Mia had become a stranger to him. Mary sneered, "It's one of those relationships, you know? Guys love jumping in to protect the girls as long as they sweetly call them their "big brothers" in the coyest way possible."Several of Mia's "brothers" appeared and took the assets under Patricia's name. They even got into a fight. Mary was convinced that there was more to these "brothers' than met the eye.Timothy squinted, recalling the man who picked Mia up in his helicopter, and the mysterious man who paid the hospital ten years' worth of hospital bills. Timothy still couldn't identify those men until now. Could they be Mia's "brothers"?Not one to let Mary insult her brothers, Mia barked, "Holly, take them away. If they make a scene, ask the security to call the police.Mary scowled, "Mia, you're an ungrateful daughter. You ought to be slapped!" Mildred slumped to the ground, "Oh, Lord! What have I done to deserve this granddaughter of mine? She

    Mia cast down her eyes and faked nonchalance. "Thank you." She saw no need to clarify the misunderstanding Timothy currently harbored.Mia's grateful response only fueled Timothy's rage. He pressed his lips and uttered, "Mia, behave now. Don't get all chummy with another man."Mia rebutted plainly, "But we're divorced.""As long as we haven't headed to the city council to finalize it, you remain married to me. You can't flirt with other men unless you don't love yourself.""Let's find a day and visit the city council then."Timothy tossed away his tie angrily. "So, you're doing this again. You know Laura doesn't want us to get a divorce. Is this a threat now?""I'm not trying to coerce you or something." Mia looked at Timothy and continued matter-of-factly, "We can finalize the divorce in secret. We don't have to tell Laura before she gets her surgery.""You think Laura is a fool?" Timothy grabbed Mia by her chin. "You want to divorce me this badly. Is it because you can't wait

    Mia raised her brow. "Laura wasn't saying that she would only get the surgery done once I was pregnant. She wants you to have a baby. You're not getting any younger, and you might be too old for it in the future.""Did you just call me old, Mia?""That's not the point, Mr. Barrett. If you want to persuade Laura to get the surgery done, you should knock someone up as soon as possible. Many women would love to carry your child. Sleep with a different woman every night, and one of them is bound to get pregnant."Timothy frowned. "What makes you think I'm someone like that?" Sleep with a different woman every night? Who did she think he was? "When push comes to shove, Maya is available. You two are a match made in heaven so of course, you should get married and build a family with her." Mia looked at Timothy defiantly.Mia's words did not make Timothy happy. Instead, it annoyed him further. He let go of Mia. "I want to build a family with my legal wife.""Then let's visit the ci

    "Folic acid is a kind of prenatal vitamin."Prenatal vitamin? Timothy peered at the capsule bottle, and his expression darkened. Mia was taking prenatal vitamins? Was she planning to get pregnant? His phone buzzed all of a sudden, but Timothy couldn't take his eyes off the bottle of folic acid.Heath gave a gentle reminder. "Sir, it's from your mother."Timothy picked up the call. "Hey, Mom.""Timothy, I thought about it long and hard and I figured I should tell you this. Several days ago, I went to the hospital to visit an old friend. Guess who I saw?"Timothy continued tinkering with the bottle in his hand. "Cut to the chase, Mom.""I saw Mia meeting with a gynecologist. I think she wants to get pregnant. And with Laura's support on her side, she plans to stay in our family. You should be careful now. Don't get her pregnant or you can't divorce her.""What makes you think that I'm divorcing her?" Timothy's response surprised Sharon. "Didn't you say you were divorcing her

    Once Mia put it that way, Wilhelmina took the bait right away. She cooed, "I'm free, Mia. I can do that.""Oh, thank you!" Mia handed the design draft to Wilhelmina, happy that she finally found a reason not to see Timothy. Moments later, Wilhelmina dolled herself up and drove to the mansion.Before she left, she looked the neighborhood up online. She read that only rich people lived in the neighborhood. Since Mia had said that the owner was young and handsome, he must be an heir to a big company.Wilhelmina drove to the mansion in a cheery mood. She supervised the whole renovation installation. But as she gazed at the bright red curtain, she wondered if the workers delivered the wrong material. Before long, Timothy arrived at his home. Looking at the workers outside, he grinned. Mia had to be inside. Timothy entered the living room. Oh, the bright red curtain! The asymmetrical design! Everything was assaulting his poor eyeballs!Timothy looked around. "Where's Mia?""Sir,

    "Don't mention it. We're a family anyway. Don't overwork yourself, alright?" Dominic said to Mia before hanging up. Then, he turned to glare at the other attendees with an impassive face. "What are you staring at? If the reports come back as shitty as this month's, all of you will be fired."The top management level looked at each other, wondering who called Dominic just now. Could it be his wife? Because one moment, Dominic was the flame-breathing devil incarnate. The next moment, he was all loving and caring.Meanwhile, after Mia hung up, she jotted down the money she owed Dominic. She recalled what Mary said and realized that she could use her prize money to take out a loan and purchase a better apartment. Patricia's rheumatism could use a dryer environment.Once Mia made up her mind, she went to Patricia's room to share her plan with Patricia. Patricia was moved. "Mia, I agree that you should get a place for yourself. It gives you a sense of security. And when you have a hus

    Mia called several times but no one picked up. She then texted Timothy, "What do you not like about the decor?" But after waiting for some time, there was no response from Timothy. Mia knew that he was doing this on purpose.Yet, if Timothy didn't repeal the complaint, it would negatively impact the studio's reputation. She needed to convince Timothy to repeal the complaint. When Mia returned to the office, Wilhelmina remarked sarcastically, "Some people might have won the prize but they turned out to be incompetent. "After all, drafting something and actually working on it are two different things. If the complaint is not repealed, our credibility will take a hit at the end of the year."Ignoring Wilhelmina's negative remark, Mia turned to Felix. "Felix, I'll fix this as soon as possible.""I know you will, Mia. But is there a communication problem between you and the client? I checked the design draft. It doesn't look like something you would draw."Mia beat around th

    Undaunted by Maya's question, Mia placed the design paper on the table confidently. "Yes, that's me. When is Timothy coming back?""He's working overtime today, so I don't know when he's coming back. You can tell me everything since I live with him anyway." Maya grabbed the design paper and began perusing it on the couch. Silence returned to the living room. Only the noise of pages being leafed through could be heard.Mia stood in the same spot. The quietness amplified the ticking of time. Maya put down the design paper and asked, "Ms. Bowen, I like your design here, but certain details need to be tweaked. I'm thinking of having a photo wall for our wedding photos. Where do you think we should display it?"Wedding photos? Mia recalled that when Timothy and she got married, Timothy absolutely refused to hang their wedding photos. Laura had to keep bugging him to change his mind. And now that he was with Maya, he wanted a photo wall. Now she knew who was more important.Mia rolled

    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,
