Mia straightened out her clothes before turning to Louisa. "You should be saying that to yourself, not to me."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"We're in Nord City, not your tiny Yellow Island."

Louisa rebuked, "How dare you belittle Yellow Island! By the way, your knowledge is just plain ridiculous."

She added arrogantly, "Do you even know anything about that island? If you're clueless about the history, I recommend hitting the books before trying to chat with me again."

Mia responded calmly, "I know about Yellow Island. But seriously, it's been centuries since the monarchy was abolished. How much longer are the royal descendants like you going to hold onto this feudal-era fantasy?"

Over the years, she had engaged in business dealings with people from Yellow Island. But they consistently exhibited an air of superiority and a disdainful attitude toward others.

Hence, she never cared much for people from the island. Seeing Louisa flaunt her arrogance only strengthened Mia's disl

    Mia smirked and said, "Anyway, it's not like Yellow Island women are desired by men these days."While Yellow Island women were regarded as noble, the island's long history had resulted in a tangled web of family branches. Only a handful of lineages actually held significant status and influence. The rest were merely lesser-known branches and had little to no standing within Yellow Island society. These individuals often flaunt their status and bask in their perceived noble status. But in reality, few men would consider marrying women from Yellow Island if not for some ulterior motive to gain benefits from their status.Louisa looked at Timothy. "You're refusing my offer because of her, right? Fine. I'll handle her personally.What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and grab her!"When Mia saw the bodyguards charging toward her, Timothy stepped forward to protect her. Despite being outnumbered, he fought bravely against the bodyguards.However, even with his impressive s

    Mia said icily, "Are you sober now?"Louisa covered her stinging face and stared at Mia in disbelief. "You dared to hit me. Don't you know who I am?" As a Yellow Islander, she had never experienced such humiliation before.Mia rubbed her wrist. "I know who you are. But regardless of your identity, anyone causing trouble at the research institute will face the same consequences."Louisa's voice sharpened. "You're finished. I won't let you off the hook. I'll have you captured, tortured, and flayed alive. You won't beg for life, but you'll beg for death."Despite her threats, it was all in vain. Every bodyguard she had brought with her had been defeated and rendered immobile.Mia turned to Peyton and instructed, "Take her and her bodyguards to the police station. Also, make copies of the building's surveillance footage. "Inform the authorities that these individuals from Yellow Island have instigated a disturbance at the research institute, perpetrated assault, and intentionally in

    Louisa remarked, "You'd be shaking in your boots if I told you my identity. My dad is one of the heads of the four major districts."Mia nodded. "I see."Yellow Island was under the governance of an island governor, along with the head of four districts. Each district was overseen by one of these four individuals, and they reported directly to the island governor.Louisa looked at Mia. "Now that you know who I am, you'd better release me at once and kneel before me to apologize. If I'm feeling generous later, I might spare your pathetic life."Mia glanced at Peyton. "Take her directly to the police station."The bodyguards promptly apprehended Louisa. She cursed furiously at Mia, "How dare you send me to the police station! Let me go. If my dad catches wind of this, he won't let you off the hook. You'll be sorry for crossing me."Despite her threats, she was eventually taken away.Mia glanced at the man in the white coat beside her. "Send me the video you just recorded on your

    Mia's mind was in turmoil due to Louisa's overwhelming audacity earlier. Amidst the chaos, Mia had forgotten that Sage was right by her side and he had witnessed everything.She regretted bringing Sage along to see the commotion at the entrance. If he hadn't been there, Sage and Timothy wouldn't have run into each other. At that moment, she didn't know what to do next.Sage looked up at the towering figure before him. It was his first time seeing Timothy in person. Previously, he had only seen Timothy in videos or photos.Sage maintained a stoic expression as he fixed his gaze on Timothy. His attitude and impression toward Timothy were bad, to say the least.Timothy couldn't help but notice Sage's presence. The boy's arrogant demeanor felt strangely familiar to him.As their eyes met, Sage found Timothy intolerable.Timothy naturally sensed the hostility from Sage. He frowned and remarked, "This is an affair concerning the grown-ups, brat. Best you stay out of it."He didn't giv

    Nicholas reached for Sage's hand and glanced at Timothy by his side. He couldn't ignore Timothy's darkened expression.After all, encountering a love rival was never a pleasant experience.Sage grasped Nicholas's hand and looked at Timothy. "You're not welcome here, and I don't like you either. Please leave immediately."Mia didn't know how to react to Sage's blunt dismissal. So, she stole a nervous glance at Timothy and hoped he wouldn't catch on to anything.Given the striking resemblance between Sage and Timothy, she had been working hard to keep Timothy from discovering her son's existence.Timothy frowned and was perplexed by the boy's sudden appearance. Sage seemed innocent, but Timothy could sense the strong dislike the boy harbored toward him.Yet, there was something about Sage that felt oddly familiar to Timothy. He couldn't help but wonder if he had encountered the boy somewhere before.Timothy paused for a thought. Then, he glanced disdainfully at Nicholas before tur

    When Mia heard Timothy asking about Sage's identity, her heart skipped a beat. She wondered if he still harbored suspicions about her.So, she lowered her gaze and asked, "Who do you think that boy could be?""Mia, I'm asking you. Don't deflect the question."Confronted with his probing stare, she remained calm and explained, "That boy is receiving treatment at the research institute.""Receiving treatment?"Mia replied, "Yes, he's receiving treatment there. Nick founded the research institute. He's conducted extensive research there, including treatments for various conditions. "Many parents bring their children there for treatment. The facility is staffed with doctors and nurses who monitor the children's health closely.""But I can't shake the feeling that the boy's connection to Nicholas goes beyond doctor and patient," Timothy remarked.Upon hearing that, Mia gritted her teeth. She realized Timothy's keen eye for detail was uncanny. He could discern discrepancies in an in

    Mia pushed Timothy's hand away. "Why does it matter to you whether or not Ginger was sick?""It matters, Mia. I could forgive you for lying about the bone marrow issue because I know she isn't really sick. How could you use her supposed illness as an excuse? She's just a child.""This doesn't concern you, and you don't need to know the truth." Mia remained resolute."As a bone marrow donor, don't I have the right to know the truth? Don't I have the right to know who I have saved?"Mia pursed her lips and pondered if she could keep hiding the truth from Timothy. She met his gaze. "Whether you know it or not, it won't change anything. I'm grateful to you for helping the person who received your bone marrow.""Mia, do you think I care about your gratitude? Do you have any idea how relieved I was when I found out Ginger wasn't actually sick?"She hung her head in silence. She didn't want anyone to think ill of Ginger or judge her daughter because of a supposed illness. But at that

    Mia felt a rush of relief flood through her as she finally confessed the truth.Keeping this secret had been a heavy burden, and she longed for the day when Sage could come out into the public without having to hide anymore.Timothy was stunned by the revelation. "Two children? A boy and a girl?"A whirlwind of emotions swept through him. He never imagined she was pregnant with twins.The idea of having his own children seemed like a distant dream. But now, not only did they exist, there were two of them.Mia pushed Timothy away and retorted, "Yes, they're twins. But what gives you the right to ask about my other child now? Do you even know how hard it was for me to bring them into this world? "When I fell at the Barrett villa, I nearly lost both of them due to a miscarriage. The doctors had given up hope. They said my children's chances of survival were almost nonexistent. Where were you then?"He froze upon hearing that and said bitterly, "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you."

    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,
