Chapter 491

Trepidation trapped Maya as soon as she heard the news. Something was going on without her knowledge.She glanced at Blake. "Why did Dominic and the others suddenly want to build an exhibition hall for the Design School? It'll cost an arm and a leg, won't it?""I heard that the proposed investment is one million dollars.""One million dollars? That's a huge sum of money!" Her fingers clutched onto the hat tightly. "Do you know the reason behind this?""No, not for now. But I think it has something to do with the Fleur International Design Competition. Mr. Dominic's construction company puts a lot of importance on design. They've just established a new subsidiary in Bern City. I bet this is a plan for a business expansion. They're looking out for talented designers."Maya gave it a thought. Blake's analysis made sense. It hadn't been long since Dominic's subsidiary company was established in Bern City. Besides, he had also built exhibition halls in universities back in Nord City.

Chapter 492

After leaving the Music School, Mia still couldn't shake off the nervousness.Grabbing Maya's hair was an act of impulse.No matter how she thought about it, Mia still concluded that she was too impulsive.Still, she couldn't deny that it did let her steam off. Every time she met Maya, the latter always put on a haughty attitude.After doing some revision at college, she checked the time and headed to the hospital by cab.When she stood outside Laura's room, mixed feelings churned in her stomach.Laura was the reason Timothy didn't want a divorce.However, a child was bound to be unhappy if they grew up in a loveless family. Therefore, Mia must leave.Since Timothy had never expected a child, she was afraid that the child would experience the same thing she did during those three years; to receive cold treatment and to be disregarded.Taking a deep breath, she entered the room. "Grandma, I'm here. How are you feeling?""So far so good. I can wander two laps of the place downs

Hearing that, Mia turned to look at the door. Timothy was there!She froze, not expecting him to be here as well.His eyes were deep and she couldn't read his emotions.Slowly, he walked into the room with his coat draping his shoulder. Since he was wearing his suit, it seemed like he had just come from work. Laura spared him a glance. "Why aren't you answering? I asked you a question."Mia dropped her gaze as she didn't have the nerve to look at his expression. A weight hung in the air. Still, wasn't this what they had come to compromise in the end?"Mia, come outside with me for a moment."Before she could react, he pulled her out of the room by the wrist.She scurried because she couldn't keep up with his large strides. "Timothy, what is it?"Timothy stopped and turned. "Have you never thought that the truth would be too much for her to take in? What if she had fainted? She has yet to be discharged!""But didn't we agree that I'll be the one to tell her the truth a few

Laura was so angry she almost couldn't balance herself.Laura did as Mia suggested, but her body staggered after taking barely two steps. Timothy quickly helped her. "Be careful, Grandma.""Stop pretending to be nice." She slapped his hand away. "I didn't know my grandson was such a jerk."Taken aback, Mia didn't expect Laura to be this enraged. Still, she remained silent and helped Laura into the room.Once Laura seated herself, Mia turned to pour her a glass of warm water. "Here, Grandma.""It's all my fault, Mia. I shouldn't have made you stay with us. It's been three years. Since you don't have feelings for each other, there's no point in sustaining the relationship. It'll be a waste of your youth. You found your family. It won't be bad if you divorce and return to them. Go and start a new life."Mia didn't know how to reply to that. Laura was being so nice to her.Laura even agreed to the divorce!Timothy was equally shocked as well. His eyes unconsciously followed Mia's

Mia quickly interjected, "I don't want anything, Grandma.""Mia, oh, Mia. People always get as much money as they can from it when it comes to divorce. How could you not want anything? What do you take us for?""Grandma, I married Timothy not because of money anyway. Plus, my family is financially stable. I don't need money. You don't have to worry about it."Timothy added, "Grandma, I gave her property, but she didn't want them."Mia nodded honestly. "Yes, he's right."Laura waved her hand. "I'll make the call for this. I'll make another arrangement for the property settlement. I'll contact the lawyer later to bring over an agreement."Mia knew that Laura was a woman of her word. Laura would surely make Mia sign the property settlement agreement. Still, Mia didn't want money from the Barretts. "It won't be done in time. Actually, Timothy and I have agreed to go to the courthouse later. You don't have to do that.""It's fine. I'll tell the lawyer to deliver the agreement to th

Timothy was frustrated. "Grandma, why must it be a marriage of love? Marriage is just troublesome to me.""Congratulations then, you'll become single again today. You're free from the trouble," Laura retorted.He was rendered speechless. He just stood there, failing to find the words to continue the topic.Laura spoke again, "You should get going. The courthouse is going to close soon."With pursed lips, he finally exited the room.Laura watched his back and sighed faintly. At the end of the day, she failed to make Mia stay.Martha sneaked into the room. "Mrs. Barrett Senior, why didn't you persuade Mrs. Barrett? She respects you. As long as you disagree with the divorce, she'll never divorce Mr. Barrett.""Do you think I don't know that? But I can't force them. Nothing good will come from forcing a couple to be together.""But I don't think he's entirely indifferent toward her. They just need time."Laura smiled. "That's why I didn't go along as he wished. He needs a trigger.

Mia's eyes landed on Timothy for a while. Her curiosity got the best of her and she asked, "Just now, you—""We're running out of time." He turned and headed to the lobby before she could finish her sentence.She watched his back before dropping her gaze. The corner of her lips curved upward, laced with self-mockery. Just what was she hoping for? Hoping for Timothy to make her stay? Or hoping for him to regret the divorce?She should wake up to reality by now. Laura, who was the only hurdle to the divorce, knew of their situation now and even agreed to the divorce. There was no reason for him to stop it from happening.After inwardly mocking herself, she managed her expression and followed him to the lobby.It took about ten minutes to get a divorce certificate. There were two certificates in her hand—their marriage certificate and the divorce certificate.To think that this was the fruit she bore after three years, how ironic.Well, it was all for the better now that ev

Mia placed the agreement on the car and left without a word.Since they were divorced, there was no need to waste time on this.Connor got out of the car and she waved at him with a bright smile, running toward him. "Connor!""Finally, the divorce. Everything went smoothly, right?""Everything went well." She showed him the divorce certificate. "Look! Will it make the procedures easier for Dominic?""Yes. Thank god that bastard knows when to give up. Hop on, let's go home. Oh wait, we should dine outside to celebrate the occasion." He stroked her hair affectionately. Holding the divorce certificate, Connor looked at Timothy, his eyes unfriendly. Timothy leaned against his car door, wearing a grim expression because he witnessed how she ran toward another man so quickly. With a beaming smile at that!It was like she ran toward the embrace of freedom.His emotions grew darker as he felt like he had lost something forever.The only thing he could do was to watch her get into a

Mia burst into laughter. Maya's words didn't bother her in the slightest. Mia headed to the waiting room to make sure the decorations were in place.Maya was displeased that she was being ignored. She looked at Shelly next to her. "Shelly, don't you think I have a point?"There was something awkward about Shelly's expression. She let out a wry cough. "Ms. Lane, about Mia, there's a secret I have to tell you.""What is it?"Shelly hesitated momentarily. "Can you unfreeze my credit card? I need money lately."Maya wasn't happy to hear that. "Shelly, you're quite the spendthrift. I think you should learn to save money or at least how to earn money. You can't keep asking for money from your family when you're already an adult, can you?"Maya was suppressing her emotions. If it was not for Shelly's status, Maya wouldn't have cared about her, let alone give her a credit card to spend freely.It was all in her plan to be one of the Barretts successfully.However, there was nothing S

Mia frowned. "Just what are you trying to imply?""If you want to continue being Mrs. Barrett, have it your way. I'll support you but on one condition."Mia raised a brow. "What is it?"Shelly's eyes brightened. "Easy. Tell Timothy to unfreeze my credit cards and you have to give me a credit card with a high credit limit."Shelly's stupidity and greed shocked Mia. She answered in disbelief, "Just who gave you the nerve to come up to me to make this kind of demand? I'm curious.""It's not that easy to become one of us. I was planning to tell Maya about your pregnancy and your biological parents, but I kept it a secret for you.""Aren't you getting along well with her? Why the sudden hostility?""That's because she's too stingy. She wants to become Mrs. Barrett without paying the price she should!"Now, Mia finally knew why Shelly turned her back on Maya.Mia gave it a thought. "Give me some time to think about it. I'll give you an answer after this.""Give it a serious thought
