Mia smirked. "I just wanna have a taste of everything. I have a big appetite, so they won't all go to waste."

Nikki threw in a sharp comment, "Oh, wow, Ms. Monalize. Anyone who didn't know better might think this is your first time seeing food. We eat modestly, after all."

"Modestly? Nikki, with all due respect, your face was practically buried in that foie gras plate! There was literally nothing left! If someone didn't know you better, they might think you had a goose vendetta. Such impudence!" Shelly fired back.

Lillian could no longer bear it. "Ms. Monalize, I heard you have a daughter. Why didn't you bring her over today?"

The other socialites all glanced over at Mia upon Lillian's words.

Mia was unfazed. "My daughter's feeling a little under the weather, so I didn't let her come."

"Ms. Monalize, having a daughter isn't a big deal. Why are you keeping her from us? You'll have to introduce her to people sooner or later. You can't just abandon your kid because you want to bec

    Mia's expression darkened instantly upon the mention of a dead woman. Tension hung thick in the air, and Luna began adding fuel to the fire. "Ms. Chapman, have you had too much to drink? How can you spit such nonsense?""I'm not! We don't know her background, and she's pretending to be wealthy. Isn't she taking advantage of her resemblance to Timothy's ex-wife to become his girlfriend? Since she's already doing it, why can't I talk about it?""Because I won't allow this!" A frigid voice snapped, breaking the tension in the dining area. Timothy appeared in a navy blue suit, looking elegant and sophisticated. Surprise danced in Mia's eyes as she caught sight of him. She had always thought black suits didn't quite suit him, believing that colors lent him a more captivating charm.Nikki gaped at him, giving no heed to his hardened expression. He was truly attractive. However, Timothy coldly addressed Amelia and Nikki, "Since you're upset with my girlfriend, you can leave the p

    Were the Chapmans on the brink of bankruptcy? Kaleb nodded grimly. "Yes, that's right. I was just informed about it as well. They've kept this a secret from the public."Sharon was upset. In this case, they'd be delusional if they thought she would let Nikki marry Timothy under that circumstances. She turned toward the guests. "Everyone, please dig in. My apologies for the commotion earlier."Everyone began settling into the joyous atmosphere once again, as if they'd forgotten about the Chapmans' predicament earlier. Luna watched Sharon in exasperation. Wasn't she supposed to hold Mia accountable? Why did she refrain from discussing the Chapmans?What did Kaleb tell her? Was there really something wrong with the Chapmans' business? Luna was defiant. She clearly could've seized this opportunity to coax Sharon into punishing Mia, yet her plans had proved futile. She couldn't help but curse inwardly. Meanwhile, Mia noticed how Sharon cozied up to the other socialites. She se

    Mia felt her patience wearing thin from having to deal with these insufferable old ladies. She turned to them with a smirk. "If you're such a fan of kids, why not expand your own brood? Perhaps you could even start your own soccer team with the little ones. I bet the excitement would be unparalleled.""Tim, look at how she speaks to her elders!" Veronica chastised. Timothy calmly responded, "I think what she said made a lot of sense."Veronica's expression turned sour. She snorted. "Having your own child is definitely better than raising someone else's."Mia reached for a glass. She could barely hold it in now. However, Timothy drawled, "I remember Uncle William adopted a kid recently, right? You seem to take good care of him, though."Mia's face immediately lit up. She was eager for gossip. Veronica stirred uneasily in her seat. "Tim, what are you on about?"Sharon also shot a look at him. "Yeah, Tim. Where did you hear such rumors? You shouldn't spread false information.

    Timothy felt conflicted. If his eyes weren't deceiving him, he clearly caught her mocking expression at the mention of marriage. His suspicion of her identity grew. …Meanwhile, Mia sauntered around the resort alone. She was heading toward a building nearby to use the restroom when she ran into Shelly and Luna. She noticed that Shelly's posture seemed slightly off. It was definitely due to the blisters on her heels caused by her ill-fitting shoes. Mia was appalled at her nerve to squeeze herself into the designer shoes despite knowing it would hurt. Shelly approached Mia with a docile smile. "Monalize, the ambiance here is really nice. It'd be great if you and Tim had your wedding here in the future.""It's too early for me and Timothy to discuss these things." Mia had never thought about marrying Timothy. The idea itself was absurd. Shelly's gaze darted toward Luna before she said, "Monalize, don't say that. I think he's serious about the relationship. He's finally dating

    Mia wasn't flustered at all. She nearly snickered when she heard what Luna said. She turned to Shelly. "You picked these clothes yourself. Vior couldn't be selling fake goods, could they?"Shelly breathed a sigh of relief. "Monalize, you're right. What does Luna know about fashion? She's embarrassing herself."Luna was unfazed. She continued, "Shelly, since you're so certain, why don't we get the fashion director here to see whether it's fake or not? The truth will be unveiled then.""The fashion director you brought? It's not like she's the queen of fashion. Why should we listen to her input? Have you bunch of peasants ever attended a private haute couture show before?"Still upset, Shelly rambled on, "Luna, do you know why Aunt Sharon was totally unbothered when Nikki was kicked out? It's because her family is about to go bankrupt and their company's about to be acquired."To her, only a daughter of a prestigious family deserves Timothy. Look at you. Your identity, status, and

    "Huh, you think you're so great, are you? Well, I'm eager to see how you'll make me very sorry!"Shelly hit Luna with her heels, but she didn't dodge this time. The tip of Shelly's heel struck her forehead, and blood began to trickle down her face."Shelly, what are you doing?" Timothy thundered. Sharon and a few other socialites trailed after him. Seeing that Timothy was here, Mia appeared from the stairs and turned to him. "There's a doctor here. If it isn't that serious, you can have him come over to treat her wound."Sharon went up to Luna. "Luna, are you alright? Your head is bleeding, it seems really bad! Shelly, are you out of your mind?"Shelly said furiously, "Aunt Sharon, can't you tell that I'm injured as well? Luna provoked me first!""Shelly, we know what you're like. Luna has always been very patient with you. Did someone goad you into hurting Luna?" Sharon chanced a glance at Monalize as she spoke. Shelly had been very close with her lately. Perhaps she was mani

    Mia noticed the tattoo on Luna's ankle. A hint of confusion flashed across her face. She thought this was too much to be a coincidence. Sensing Mia's gaze, Luna quickly hid her foot underneath the sheets. The way she stared at Luna's tattoo made her feel somehow flustered. She glanced up and met Monalize's eyes. Her heart skipped a beat. She thought Mia was standing right in front of her, given Monalize's jarring resemblance to her. Luna averted her gaze quickly, convincing herself that she was merely hallucinating. Mia was already dead. The image of Luna's tattoo on her ankle lingered in Mia's mind even after Luna was escorted away. She felt like she'd seen it somewhere before. It felt like an important piece of information to her. However, Mia couldn't remember it. She had long forgotten about what happened in the Barrett residence back then. Just then, Sharon said smugly, "This resort is so much better than what I've expected. They're even equipped with medical professi

    Mia called Nicholas to discuss the matter right after she hung up. "Currently, we need to perform a test on Timothy, then we can draw blood in a week. If he's aware of the result and agrees to the match, we can arrange for the child to get ready in the sterile chamber soon," Nicholas said."Alright, I got it."Mia glanced up at the night sky after she hung up. She smiled, realizing that her efforts finally paid off. The fireworks were set off in the garden, igniting the sky with a burst of colors. Timothy went up to her in the next instant. "Is it from the hospital?"Mia nodded solemnly. "Mr. Barrett, the match is a success. Are you still willing to donate your bone marrow to my daughter?""I won't go back on my words." Timothy understood what it meant to donate his bone marrow. He wouldn't be affected, but it would be a huge deal for Ginger.He stated, "I'll arrange my schedule tomorrow and head to the hospital for the tests."Mia's eyes reddened. "Thank you. I mean it." Her

    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,
