Chapter 659

Author: Red Thirteen
As soon as Mia said that, Luna's expression shifted.

There was mischief in Mia's eyes. She never held back when dealing with a pretentious person. Not when she knew what Luna did to Ginger.

On top of that, Ginger liked Timothy—all the more reason for Mia to eliminate her potential competitors.

Timothy frowned at Luna. "What are you doing here?"

Luna let out a weak smile. "Tim, I'm alright now. It's just scrapes. So, I came out to have a walk and have breakfast."

Mia looked toward where Ginger was seated. "I'll bring the food to Ginger first."

She then made her way to Ginger. "Finish everything."

"Mommy, is the bad woman here to cause trouble again?" Ginger was anxious.

"Relax. I know how to deal with people like her," assured Mia as she placed the plate down.

Then, she returned to the buffet section, to Luna's side. "Ms. Maynard, there are better ways to show your feelings. You shouldn't stoop that low. Besides, it doesn't work that way."

Luna's eyes dimmed, and she retorted

    Mia's innocent tone only served to infuriate Luna."The floor isn't slippery. You did that on purpose!" Luna's resolve didn't waver as she refused to concede. Quickly, Mia signaled to the restaurant manager. "The floor is too slippery, and I almost slipped. Please clarify the situation to this lady over here."The manager addressed Luna promptly. "Apologies, the humidity is high due to the recent rain. Let me arrange for a doctor for you, Ms. Maynard. We'll take full responsibility." Luna was rendered speechless, not expecting the restaurant manager to take it upon himself so quickly. Left with no choice, she gave up.Mia flashed a meaningful smile at Luna. "Ms. Maynard, you should hurry to the doctor. It would be a shame if it left a scar on you."Luna's gaze involuntarily shifted to Timothy. It was as if she hoped for him to speak up for her. "Go to the doctor," his voice was flat. The hope in her eyes faded. Luna felt that Timothy had neglected her since Monalize ente

    Mia couldn't shake Luna's comment from earlier. Timothy's interest in Mia was clear, yet he remained frustratingly out of reach. However, the presence of another woman occupying his heart would explain his reluctance. Timothy's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared at Mia. "You can take it that way."Even after four years had passed, he still couldn't forget about Mia Bowen. Though she had disappeared without a trace, he held firm to the belief that she was still alive.That answer didn't surprise Mia at all. A smile smeared across her lips. "No wonder you keep rejecting me. You even give up the reishi mushrooms for her. I'm curious. What is she like? What is so good about her that you can't forget about her?"His eyes narrowed slightly, but he wasn't flustered by her questions at all. "I've answered your question. Now, it's your turn to answer mine."Timothy was too smart to be played around.Mia nodded. "Okay. Since when do I know Caleb? I think it's four years ago when I got pregn

    Mia's blatant confrontation evoked more questions in Timothy. He was expecting her to feel guilty after he put it explicitly. However, her attitude was free from guilt and nervousness. She only appeared surprised.He had faith in his observation skills when it came to reading people's emotions. Yet, he failed to read anything from her face.His heart sank. He instantly nodded. "Yes. Guess there's no need to keep up with the act anymore."Mia sighed upon realizing that she had guessed correctly. She then leaned back in the chair, hand resting on the armrest. A knowing smirk touched her lips, and a shift in the atmosphere hinted at a newfound confidence. "Mr. Barrett, with all due respect, your flirting skills are old-fashioned. Even soap operas have moved beyond these tired clichés. What makes you think I'd fall for it?" Disappointment gnawed at her. She'd held onto the hope that he was different. Yet, here he was, mirroring the same tired patterns. He was no less different from

    Wade was acting weird, but Mia simply brushed it off by reasoning that Caleb was the cause of it. After all, Caleb was good friends with Timothy.She managed her tone. "Do I have to explain why I want to investigate them?""Of course not. I'm on it." Wade hung up the call, feeling the need to call Dominic.Things were discoursing in the wrong direction. Wade called Dominic to report the situation right away.Dominic's face fell when he learned that Timothy had shown up. "What? Timothy Barrett was the one who had saved Ginger at the airport? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"Wade stammered, "B-Because Ms. Mia told me not to. Plus, Dr. Grayson did suggest she spend time with him. It's for her health.""Nonsense! Buy them plane tickets at this instant!" Dominic didn't want Mia to have anything to do with Timothy.Four years ago, Mia almost died on the operating table because of Timothy, and Dominic would never forget that.Dominic had spent years clandestinely opposing Barrett Group

    That idea put Dominic off. He didn't want Mia to meet Timothy because he was worried about the past repeating itself. Eva comforted Dominic and then called Mia. The line got through immediately. "Hello, Eva. What's up?""No biggie. I'm just checking in on you. How are things going on over at Xanier Island? Are you adapting well? I heard that the airport is closed because of the heavy pour.""Yup. The rain is different from the usual one. We'll need to extend our stay for several days. We'll return when the rain stops, and it's safe to fly." Mia had a nagging feeling that there was something unusual about Eva's sudden call. She couldn't help but wonder if Eva had somehow learned that Caleb was on Xanier Island. All these years, her family had avoided mentioning her ex-husband to spare her feelings. She had assumed Eva's call was to urge her to return home promptly, but as it turned out, it was just a casual conversation. After Mia ended the call, a suspicion formed in h

    Mia was flabbergasted. "What do you mean?"Timothy did tell her that she resembled his ex-wife. She had thought it was a mere coincidence!"Ms. Monalize, you really got the wrong person. Has it ever crossed your mind that Timothy is actually your ex-husband?""That's impossible!" she exclaimed. That couldn't be right. Mia heard Dominic mention Caleb being her ex. Timothy's remark about the resemblance must have been a flimsy attempt at deflection. Mia never trusted his word anyway.She glanced over at Caleb hesitantly. "I don't believe you. Unless you have photos as proof."Mia had scoured the internet earlier, desperate to find a picture of Timothy's ex-wife. However, her endeavor yielded nothing but a frustrating gallery of non-matches—the lack of a visual confirmation gnawed at her. The lack of an online trace of Timothy's ex-wife, a woman who once held a prominent position as part of the Barrett family, set alarm bells ringing in Mia's head. This complete digital wipeout w

    Their personalities were very different. Mia's patience was wearing thin. With a sharp pivot, she made to leave, clearly done with Caleb's explanation. "Wait, Ms. Langford! I don't have the photos now, but I can get them. Just give me some time.""I'm sorry. I have no interest whatsoever." The notion of delving further into the life of Mrs. Barrett, who bore an uncanny resemblance to her, repulsed her.She strode toward Ginger and left the playground with her. Caleb sighed as he watched them leave. "Goodness gracious."It was unfortunate that he couldn't produce any photos at such a critical juncture. Caleb found her rather peculiar. He didn't even know her, yet she said he was the father of her child. She truly had mistaken him for someone else. …Mia returned to the hotel with Ginger, feeling frustrated. Ginger glanced at her. "Mommy, how'd it go with the bad guy?"Perplexed, Mia responded, "Ginger, do you think we might've gotten the wrong guy?""Mommy, didn't y

    Mia noticed the striking resemblance between Sage's features and Timothy's, particularly their eyes. It suddenly dawned on her that Caleb was likely telling the truth—Timothy was the person she had been searching for. She found it absurd when Caleb said she resembled Timothy's wife. But now, realizing her mistake, everything fell into place. Stupefied, she gazed blankly at the ceiling. She couldn't believe that she'd gotten the wrong person. No wonder Timothy had been giving her strange looks. She had inadvertently taken the reishi mushroom he intended to buy. She offered to return it in exchange for a date, but he flatly refused.Recalling these events left Mia puzzled. Timothy probably thought that she was flirting with him. However, she truly couldn't remember anything from the past. …Once Ginger was sound asleep, Mia slipped out of the bedroom and made her way to the living room. When Wade showed up, she wasted no time. "Did you get them?" Wade faltered. "Ms. M

    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,
