Chapter 895

Author: Red Thirteen
Mia immediately sensed that something was off. Raking her fingers through her hair, she said, "Nick, ignore whatever Dominic told you in the study. They were just kidding."

It slipped her mind that Dominic must've summoned Nicholas to the study because of what Eva said to her earlier. She was awash in embarrassment.

Clearly, Nicholas hadn't wanted to develop a romantic relationship with her—their relationship was strictly platonic. Dominic's meddling was only making things awkward for them.

Nicholas lowered his head and said meekly, "Actually, I don't think I should ignore it."

Mia was baffled.

"To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised with what Dominic told me earlier."

Mia was stunned. Spiraling in bewilderment, she was at a loss for words.

As she studied Nicholas closely, she seemed to notice a distinctive glint in his eyes. It finally struck her that he might have feelings for her. Still, she'd failed to spot anything different regarding his attitude toward her.

So Dominic is setting her up to marry someone she doesn’t want to marry…. What’s the difference to Miss marriage to Timothy?

Just rip off that band-aid Mia and be upfront that you're not interested in anything more with him. Don't lead him on and crush him later...especially if you actually see him as a brother.

Good lord! Dominic has set this man up for rejection! Maybe he should've held off on his discussion until he actually got Mia's input? Eva and Nathan seem to be the only ones with sense to go directly to the source first.

    Mia plopped herself down on the couch after she sent Nicholas off. She couldn't quite snap back to her senses, as she'd always regarded him as a brother and had never thought of anything else. Eva approached her with a fruit plate. "So, how did things go?"Mia sprang up. "You knew?""Yeah, we all saw how he treated you the past four years. He might not have been very direct, but he can't hide the way he feels about you.""Are you kidding, Eva? I've never thought that Nick would fall for me. I was completely caught off guard. I can't really handle this.""Is it because you don't think he's a good person? You did mention that he's too busy with work," Eva asked."No! In fact, that's not the main reason. Nick's a really good guy, but I just never thought about our relationship that way," Mia reiterated her intention again.Eva suggested, "Why not give it some thought? I think Nicholas is quite brilliant."Spiraling in turmoil, Mia went upstairs to her room, where she struggled to

    Mia scrutinized Ginger, sensing a hint of guilt in her expression. Why did she sound so certain earlier?Her eyes bore into Ginger's as she asked, "Tell me, Ginger. How are you so sure?"Ginger fumbled with her fingers nervously as she muttered, "I just know. Daddy won't take Sage and I away from you." He had promised her that he wouldn't, but that was a secret between the two of them. Mia asked, "Who would you pick if you really had to choose?" Ginger immediately threw herself into her arms. "Of course it's you, Mommy."A surge of warmth flooded through Mia as she embraced Ginger. She planted a few kisses on Ginger, moved by Ginger's unwavering loyalty to her.It seemed like she was merely speculating earlier. Timothy hadn't met Ginger that often, after all. "I'll bring you to the hospital later. Remember to not blow your own cover," Mia reminded her."Alright, Mommy."Mia took Ginger's hand and said, "I promise I'll find a suitable chance to let Timothy know about you and

    "You'll come to empathize with me once you've experienced poverty. I was literally broke, and I couldn't afford a thing," Timothy stated nonchalantly. He never lacked money. However, the hardship of life finally struck him when he felt humiliated for not being able to afford his daughter's gift. Caleb remembered how Timothy stooped so low to work as a bodyguard in Nord City. He rubbed his nose. "Well, you're doing all this to pursue Mia, aren't you? I told you how it'd turn out back then, but you were stubborn. Now you're regretting it."Timothy met his eyes. "What did you tell me back then?""Stop playing dumb, Tim. I asked you whether you liked Mia back then and you denied it. You even suggested to divorce her. Now ask yourself whether you regret doing that. Things might have turned out differently if you hadn't mentioned a divorce."Timothy fell silent instantly, tightening his grip on the 50-dollar toy. He'd never been particularly bothered by any gifts before, but this t

    Mia was surprised when Ginger addressed Timothy as her dad. She'd never thought it would come out from her that easily. That wasn't what Ginger used to call Timothy back then, after all. A pang of frustration shot through Mia when she chanced a glance at Ginger's expression. She could tell that Ginger was very fond of Timothy. She'd always been close with him, be it when Mia mistook Caleb as her ex-husband or when she finally cleared up the misunderstanding. Was this the bond of blood relations at work?Timothy went up to Ginger and stroked her cheek. "Are you afraid?""I'm not. I'm a big child now, and I'm not afraid of anything."He handed her a stuffed toy. "This is for you."Holding the toy, Ginger glanced over at the boxes piled up on the floor. "Are these all for me?"Timothy nodded. "Yes. You can open them and see which one you like."Seeing the clutter of toys in the room, Mia immediately intervened. "Ginger has never been short of toys ever since she was born. You didn't have

    "Won't your family badger you to start a family after you've been single all these years?"Mia was slightly puzzled. What did he mean? Why the sudden question?She turned toward him and gave him a look. "Why did you ask? Does this have anything to do with you?""I admit that I was in the wrong back then. But now I want to start all over with you."Mia froze. She had never expected Timothy to say that to her. In the past, she would have been elated, but now she was perfectly composed. "Start all over again?" she questioned. "Going back to how I was treated four years ago?" Timothy knew how she was treated back at the Barrett residence four years ago. She definitely wouldn't tolerate it now like how she did before. His gaze faltered. "No. That's unfair to you.""It seems like you still have some conscience left, but let bygones be bygones. It's impossible for us to start all over again," Mia refused flatly. Timothy wasn't caught off guard by her refusal. Averting the topic,

    Mia was utterly bewildered. Little did she expect to bump into Connie in this hospital. It was a small world indeed. The fact that Connie thought that Mia was here to apologize was even more absurd. Connie's audacity was truly palpable! It seemed like the Bowens hadn't learnt their lesson. They were still as arrogant as always and didn't hesitate to abuse their power.Connie had walked up to Mia while she was still stunned. Connie hollered, "You're nervous because we're about to close the deal with the Barretts, aren't you? Well, it's too late for you to apologize now. I won't forgive you."We won't accept you into our family as well. You used to look down on us, but you'll have a taste of your own medicine now."Mia's gaze darted between Connie and her attendant. "I'd like to ask whether there's anything wrong with Mrs. Bowen. Is her brain injured?" Mia asked nonchalantly.Otherwise, it wouldn't explain the absurdity of her speech now. "Mia, do you think I can't sense your

    Connie exchanged glances with her attendant. They wore scornful expressions as they judged Mia.Bewildered, Mia exclaimed, "How could he not be? Haven't you met the CEO of Barrett Group before? Even if you haven't, wouldn't you have done a background check on the CEO of Barrett Group since you're going to work with him?"Connie replied haughtily, "Lewis has always been in charge of the deal. I believe he has already done a background check. Your bodyguard even broke his tooth last time. If he's really the CEO of Barrett Group, how could Lewis fail to recognize him? You're clearly lying."Her attendant, Selena, also mocked, "Exactly. He's nothing but a poor bodyguard. How could he possibly be the CEO of Barrett Group? If he's really the CEO, it'd be impossible for him to work as Mia's bodyguard."Looking at their smug expressions, Mia fell silent. They didn't believe her at all. She stroked her forehead helplessly and asked, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with Lewis' informatio

    "Mia, you're going to regret this later. We won't let you and this gigolo off the hook by then. You guys will be doomed once the Barrett Group finds out that someone is impersonating their CEO."Mia felt like getting back at Connie, but she was at a loss for words. She had made it very clear that her bodyguard was actually the CEO of Barrett Group, yet Connie's denial caught her off guard. Connie even accused her of getting someone to impersonate Timothy. She turned toward Timothy. "What do you have to say now?" Now that she had literally spelled out everything for them, it was his turn to defend himself. He was the CEO of Barrett Group, after all. In fact, Mia was intrigued to find out how he'd stand up for himself. Timothy furrowed his brows. He also didn't anticipate the Bowens' imprudence. He glanced at Connie and asked, "The contract is to be signed on the day after tomorrow, right?"Connie replied smugly, "That's right. It will be the end of both of you then."Timothy

    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,
