Timothy didn't think about this."Tim, there's no need to be afraid. After all, you donated your bone marrow to him. You're his biological father, and you'll meet him sooner or later. Why not learn how to communicate and connect with him now?"Timothy rubbed his temples in embarrassment. "I'm clueless when it comes to connecting with children," he admitted.Timothy found this moment to be even more challenging than handling billions of dollars worth of contracts. When it came to negotiating a contract, he knew exactly what to do. But trying to connect with the child on the other side of the computer screen left him feeling lost and unsure. He even worried that he might end up making things worse. Perhaps it was guilt, or maybe it was the shock of realizing that he now had two children who were related to him by blood. This new and unfamiliar sensation was deeply unsettling to him."How you got along with Ginger will be how you get along with this child, Tim."Timothy shook his h
Soon, Timothy received a reply, and both he and Caleb sat up attentively in front of the computer. He asked Caleb nervously, "How should I answer?"After waiting for a long time, Timothy realized that the other party must have gone offline or discovered that he had obtained their IP address through the network. Hence, he decided to log off and leave to avoid being discovered.Timothy was feeling hopeless and on the verge of giving up when the other party unexpectedly responded. He became extremely nervous, as his palms started to sweat. This was the most nervous he had ever been, despite having years of experience in the business industry and facing numerous challenges. Although he had encountered countless dangers before, he had never felt as anxious and overwhelmed as he did at that moment. He even thought about escaping."Tim, respond to him," Caleb urged."I don't know what to write.""Just give in and coax him. He's a small child. If you're too headstrong, he won't play wit
Caleb raised his eyebrows and proposed, "Then I will be your elder brother from now on.""As long as you can coax him." This time, Timothy conceded and truly gave it his all.As soon as Caleb got the laptop, he wasted no time and began typing, "I must admit that you're very skillful. However, if I didn't have urgent matters to attend to, I would certainly leave Nord City tomorrow and never return."Sage felt a surge of anger upon reading the words on the screen, compelling him to shut down the computer. However, just as he reached for the power button, another message was received.Sage proudly typed a reply, "You know your place.""Yes, you must be a legend, and I'm not sure when I have offended you in the past, but please let me go during this time. I need to be in Nord City."When Sage read that response, he immediately discerned Timothy's motivation for wanting to stay in Nord City. Sage typed, "Why should I let you go?""Legend, if you let me go, I'll do anything you ask.
Timothy gazed at the computer screen, determined not to leave Nord City so easily. After all, his wife and children were there.After reading the reply, Sage was taken aback. Timothy wasn't afraid of death and wouldn't leave, which put Sage in a dilemma. Initially, he had intended to intimidate Timothy into leaving promptly upon understanding the situation. But to his surprise, Timothy showed no fear in the face of death and refused to leave.Sage was curious and asked, "If you don’t leave now, you'll most likely not be able to leave in the future and will die in Nord City. Are you not afraid?"Timothy paused and glanced at Caleb. "What's the best way to reply?""You need to consider this carefully. This young hacker is testing you. It's important to assert your dominance in this situation."Timothy narrowed his eyes and typed a reply, "There are certain obligations I must fulfill, which hold greater significance than my own life." Sage stopped as a voice crackled through his
Sage held full admiration for him and made a solemn vow to become someone as formidable as doomBringer. Little did he know that Timothy himself might be doomBringer. What a coincidence indeed.Sage fell into silence for a moment. What if Timothy was actually doomBringer? After all, he had always regarded doomBringer as his idol.Sage felt complicated for a moment. The voice of his subordinate resonated in the group chat. "Sir, are you okay? Have you finished speaking with that legend? What did you discuss?""That's right. We're also curious. After all, if this is really doomBringer, if we post the process of the fight against him on the forum right now, it will definitely make other people envious."For a moment, everyone in the group chat became excited. After all, he was doomBringer."That's enough. You haven't even confirmed whether he is doomBringer yet. Why are you so excited?"Sage's mood was quite complex at that moment. On one hand, he had a strong desire to meet his idol
"That won't happen. He definitely won't notice these things if you answer him directly. Besides, he already knows who you are. Whether you reveal your identity or not doesn't matter."Timothy remained silent for a moment before he typed out his reply on the keyboard."That's all in the past. I've returned to a normal life since doing something significant."Upon seeing this response, Sage continued to inquire, "What significant thing did you do?"Could it be the same thing mentioned by his subordinate just now? Could Timothy really be the infamous doomBringer from the olden days?Coincidentally, the "B" in doomBringer, which was also the first letter of the asshole's family name, was capitalized. It felt like he was getting closer to the truth."In the past, there was a notorious terrorist organization that brazenly invaded many people's computer systems and boasted that no one could find their existence. It caused extremely negative impacts on the international community. "A
Timothy replied calmly, "Indeed, there were infiltrators from their side among us, which led to the exposure of the identities of the members. Many people, including myself, were secretly threatened.""So how did you end up resolving this matter?" Sage asked, his heart tensing up when he heard those words.He had only heard about this heroic story, but he didn't know there were so many hidden twists and turns in the middle.For example, the terrorists were actually the sons and daughters from wealthy families.But Sage knew that the end result was the terrorist organization being crushed and its members arrested. But how was it dealt with in between?He was curious how Timothy did it.As Timothy was about to reply, Caleb pulled him back abruptly. "Alright, we can't continue talking about this," he warned.Timothy looked up, somewhat displeased. "Why? This seems to be a topic he's very interested in."After all, they had finally found a topic that the kid was interested in. Wh
Sage thought for a moment and replied, "Okay."After all, he had another account. He would use his secondary WhatsApp account to add him, so he wouldn't be discovered. Once he had heard Timothy's story, he would immediately delete his number so that the latter wouldn't notice what Sage had done.After all, Sage only wanted to hear the story. He didn't really want Timothy's contact information.Soon, the two of them added each other's contact on their phones, each with their own intentions.Timothy was extremely excited when he saw the added number. He hadn't expected Caleb's method to actually work.He managed to get the other twin's contact information!He had been desperately searching for the whereabouts of the other twin. Now that he had added the contact information so easily, it all felt like a dream.Caleb patted Timothy's shoulder. "How's that? You can never go wrong if you listen to me.""What should I say to him next?""Go ahead and transfer him some money," Caleb
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,
