Chapter 863

Author: Red Thirteen
Timothy's expression turned cold as he observed the sudden appearance of the man. Who was he?

As the car door swung open and Mia prepared to step out, she was taken aback to find Dylan unexpectedly present.

A smile graced her lips as she remarked, "Dylan Lane, what a wonderful surprise to see you here."

The man gracefully opening the door for Mia was none other than Dylan Lane, the male supporting actor in her current project. He was someone she viewed as having tremendous potential and wished to support.

Dylan's performance in this film was exceptionally impressive. Even before the movie hit the screens, leaked footage had sparked excitement and anticipation.

"Mia, for an event as significant as today's, it's only fitting for me to be here to welcome you in person," Dylan expressed warmly.

"Well, you're certainly more considerate than most," Mia replied, returning his smile.

Stepping out of the car, Mia couldn't shake off the sudden chill she felt from Timothy nearby, his eyes

    As Mia was about to leave, Dylan came up to her and said, "Mia, it's been a while since we last saw each other. We discussed grabbing a meal together previously. How about we celebrate today? Let's toast to the movie's box office success in advance.""Sure, sounds good," Mia replied, her mood considerably lifted by now.However, as soon as she accepted Dylan's invitation, Mia felt a sudden chill. She turned slightly, catching sight of Timothy's darkening expression.Following her gaze, Dylan's eyes settled on Timothy, who stood behind Mia with a stern countenance, his eyes concealed behind sunglasses.Despite the shades, Timothy's striking features and athletic build were unmistakable.Dylan couldn't help but suspect that Timothy was the bodyguard who had been the subject of recent media buzz.As Dylan glanced at Timothy, a hint of complexity flickered in his eyes. He casually remarked, "Mia, is this that handsome bodyguard of yours? He looks even better in person than in photos.

    Tension immediately filled the air as Mia turned to see Timothy and Dylan standing in front of the car door.She remained silent, curious about their confrontation.However, Dylan showed no signs of yielding. He stood casually by the door, blocking Timothy's access. "Sorry, but Mia and I have plans to dine together tonight. It just doesn't feel right having a bodyguard in tow, you know?"Dylan was taken aback by the bodyguard's audacity. He had never encountered one so bold as to insist on sitting in the backseat with their employer.Yet, Timothy stood his ground. "As her bodyguard, it's appropriate for me to sit here."Dylan persisted, "Actually, it's more suitable for a bodyguard to sit in the front passenger seat."The two men locked eyes, neither showing any sign of backing down.In the next moment, Dylan turned to Mia and proposed, "Mia, why don't you decide? Where should the bodyguard sit?"Mia paused briefly before suggesting, "How about we all sit together and make room

    Upon catching sight of Mia's cheerful expression in the rearview mirror, a wave of emotions stirred within Timothy. He couldn't believe how happily she was chatting with Dylan!Suddenly, a twinge of jealousy gnawed at Timothy's heart.The tension hung thick in the air, so tangible that even the driver beside him seemed to shrink into his seat. If he hadn't been the one behind the wheel, he might have preferred to be in the other car instead.Despite the tense atmosphere, Mia decided to brush it aside and carry on her conversation with Dylan as if nothing was amiss.Meanwhile, Dylan remained oblivious to Timothy in the passenger seat.With his extensive experience in the entertainment industry, Dylan knew that lacking the foresight and determination to seize opportunities could hinder his advancement.Indeed, some opportunities were meant to be fought for.An hour later, they arrived at the restaurant.Dylan kindly held the door open for Mia, remarking, "Mia, this restaurant has

    Upon hearing this statement, Mia's appetite immediately waned, prompting her to set down her cutlery.She peered at the dish before her and questioned, "Are you certain that this chef worked for the esteemed Barrett family in Bern City, and that this dish was Mr. Barrett's favorite?"Wasn't that too much of a coincidence?Mia couldn't believe the serendipity of encountering a chef who had worked at Timothy's household just as they casually went out for a meal."This information is straight from the chef's mouth. Rumor has it that the CEO of the esteemed Barrett Group in Bern City has an exceptionally discriminating palate and is notoriously demanding. "However, these signature dishes prepared by the chef seem to be quite popular."Upon hearing these absurd rumors, Mia suppressed a smile and pressed on, "Besides mentioning Mr. Barrett's discerning and hard-to-please taste, what else did the chef reveal?"She was eager to learn more!As soon as Mia finished speaking, she felt Ti

    Leaning against the wall, Timothy regarded Dylan with disdain. "I'm not like you.""What sets us apart? To Ms. Lane, we're essentially the same," Dylan countered."My connection with her is far more intricate than you realize," Timothy asserted, a touch of arrogance in his tone.This statement intrigued Dylan. "What exactly is your relationship with Ms. Lane?""I don't have to disclose that to you," Timothy replied firmly, shooting Dylan a piercing stare. "It would be wise for you to maintain your distance from her. Otherwise, you'll come to regret it."Despite being in Nord City, taking down a lowly actor like Dylan would be considered child's play for Timothy.Dylan responded with a mocking expression, "Do you really think you can scare me off? I was just trying to give you a friendly heads-up that Mia isn't someone you can chase after. If it's money you're after, just name your price."Upon hearing this, Timothy removed his sunglasses, revealing his sharp and arrogant eyes. "

    Clutching her throbbing head, Mia desperately wished she could stem the tide of memories flooding her mind.As she staggered, Timothy moved forward, wrapping her in his arms with evident concern. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with worry.Mia's headache was so intense that she couldn't muster a coherent response.Meanwhile, Connie remained relentless in her threats. "Mia, if you don't explain yourself today, we'll both go down together!" she exclaimed.Ignoring Connie's words, Timothy swiftly snatched Connie's handbag and slammed it forcefully onto the ground.Connie was taken aback, fixing Timothy with a sharp glare. "You penniless bodyguard! How dare you toss my bag like that? Do you have any idea how much it costs? You couldn't afford it even if you sold everything you own!" she screeched.The other woman cautiously interjected, "Connie, is it possible that this bodyguard is responsible for Lewis' injuries?"Upon seeing Timothy, Connie immediately connected the do

    Upon learning about Mia's head injury, Peyton grew deeply worried. He swiftly reached out to the doctors at the private hospital and hurried there without delay.The medical team at the private hospital was already on standby.Unbeknownst to Mia, Connor happened to be among the hospital staff members.As Timothy carried Mia out of the car, Connor was taken aback to see him. "What are you doing here?" he exclaimed in surprise.Mia realized she was in a difficult situation as soon as she heard Connor's voice. There was no way she could hide anymore.Deciding to go along with it, Mia closed her eyes and pretended to faint.Stepping forward, Timothy gently lowered Mia into a wheelchair. "Now isn't the time for questions," he stated firmly. "She sustained a head injury from being hit with a bag, and she's experiencing nausea and dizziness. It seems to be a mild concussion."Observing Mia's pallid complexion, Connor didn't bother questioning Timothy's presence. Instead, he swiftly w

    Nonetheless, the Lanes' clear disdain for Timothy was a welcome sight for Dylan.At that moment, Connor directed a hostile glance toward Dylan and asked, "And who might you be?"Feeling uneasy, Dylan promptly clarified, "Hello, Mr. Lane. I work at Ms. Lane's company. She and I had plans for dinner tonight. "But unexpectedly, Ms. Lane ran into the Bowens in the restroom, and Mrs. Bowen ended up injuring her."Though Dylan felt reluctant to divulge, keeping silent might implicate him further with Timothy.Besides, it was widely known in Nord City that the Lane brothers were fiercely protective of their younger sister.Upon hearing this, Connor finally grasped the situation. "The Bowen family sure has some nerve, don't they? Assaulting Mia like that! They're getting way too cocky!"Despite this, Connor's animosity toward Timothy remained palpable.Seeing all his bodyguards lying defeated at Timothy's feet, Connor was taken aback. "Seems like you're quite skilled, huh?" he grumble

    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,
