Mia’s eyes fixated on Timothy when he trod in their direction. She couldn’t shift her gaze away from his


    suit.


    She was almost certain that it was the suit she picked for him a few months ago.


    It was the time when Maya hadn’t shown up, and he hadn’t suggested a divorce.


    Timothy’s brows creased the moment he saw the bidding number in Mia’s hand.


    Maya weed him with a grin. “Timothy, it’s a surprise to see Ms. Bowen here, isn’t it? Shelly and I


    found it


    weird, so we were talking to her.”


    Shelly quickly added fuel to the fire. “Timothy, I’m pretty sure she hooked up with a man. Otherwise,


    considering her status, she wouldn’t have been able to show up here.


    “It’s her fate to stay poor forever, yet she keeps dreaming of being a Cindere.”


    Mia’s expression turned cold.


    Liam snorted from her behind. “No wonder I smelled something foul from afar. Not even your strong


    perfume


    can cover that foul smelling from your mouth.


    “You should return home and cleanse your mouth before stepping outdoors. It’ll be bad to wither those


    poor


    flowers outside.”


    His words made Shelly’s blood boil.


    The shade andyers of powder scarcely hid her fuming cheeks. “Timothy, did you hear that? How


    dare he


    insult me!”


    Timothy’s eyes turned icier when he noticed Liam’s presence. It seemed this was the man Mia came


    with.


    A smile spread across Mia’s lips when she looked over her shoulder at Liam.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    His sharp tongue never failed to amuse her once, and he managed to voice out her thoughts.


    He stood next to her side casually while staring at Timothy shrewdly.


    A few days ago, Connor mentioned that Mia fainted due to illness, as well as the fact that Timothy took


    her to the hospital and hired a caretaker.


    As a man himself, Liam saw through Timothy’s intentions easily.


    But, ording to Liam’s standards, Timothy didn’t deserve Mia at all.


    Liam shed a dashing smile. “Be mindful of how your people behave, Mr. Barrett. Don’t let them loose


    and bite anyone. Otherwise, someone might bite you in the back one day.”


    Timothy’s thin lips pursed. “I don’t need a lesson from you.”


    Noticing the tense atmosphere between the men, Mia felt her heart jumping out of her chest.


    +15 BONOS


    This was freaking Timothy Barrett! And Liam was challenging him!


    She was aware that Liam was standing up for her, so she pulled his arm. “Let’s go. The auction is


    starting soon.”


    He wanted to say more but followed her in the end, figuring that it was Timothy’s luck for now.


    The provocative re from Liam ruined Timothy’s mood.


    Maya cooed, “Calm down, Timothy. Liam acts that way all the time. He often gets in people’s bad


    books in show business when he was in Nord City. That’s why he stays under the radar.


    “If someone exposes his sharp tongue, he might lose his fanbase.”


    Shelly couldn’t follow. “Isn’t he that famous actor’s stuntman?”


    Maya exined, “Liam does have a stuntman, but I can recognize him. That person is my cousin, Liam


    Lane. He’s not a stuntman. But his agency is using the stuntman to shield Liam away from scandals.”


    Shelly snorted coldly. “Mia is not an easy woman. She just divorced Timothy, and she’s hookin up with


    Liam already. Just what part of her makes him fall for her? Perhaps, when she’s in bed
