Maya was caught off guard by Timothy’s unexpected return.
His footsteps abruptly halted, and he lowered his gaze, fixing his eyes on Maya. “Let go,” he
commanded.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Maya released his arm, urging. “Tim, the engagement has already
started. We should head over.”
Sharon nodded hastily, adding, “Yes, indeed, we’ve already wasted enough time. We can’t afford any
more dys.
“Maya, reach out to your brothers promptly and check if they’vepleted their work. Let’s see if they
can join the celebration.”
Maya quickly dialed Dominic’s number, but there was no response.
Undeterred, she sent a text to Dominic on WhatsApp, though she harbored doubts about receiving a
reply. Yet, it hardly mattered; Timothy had arrived.
Shelly appeared dissatisfied. “Hold on a minute, did Mia just attack me out of the blue? Timothy. you’ve
come at the perfect moment. Mia just physically assaulted me!”
Despite Shelly’sint, Mia remained unfazed, offering no exnation.
After a momentary pause, Timothy stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Mia, his polished
shoes gleaming brightly.
In a resonant voice, he questioned, “Aren’t you going to exin?”
“What’s there to exin? You wouldn’t believe me anyway. Why should+waste my breath?”
Mia lifted her gaze to meet Timothy’s, locking eyes with his prating stare.”
At that moment, she detected a subtle shift in his expression–instead of the usual disdain or superiority,
a trace of concern flickered in his eyes.
Was it possible that she had misread him?
Timothy, standing tall above her, returned her gaze with aplex expression. Having spent an
extended period contemting outside, his mind felt tumultuous.
The revtion that Mia had convinced Connor to perform surgery on Laura had caught him off
guard.

Surprisingly, Mia hadn’t mentioned it at all.
Contemting Mia’s close bond with Connor, Timothy couldn’t shake off a suffocating sensation, as if
something vital had slipped through his fingers in an instant.
Speaking in a subdued tone, he admitted, “Mia, it seems like I’ve never truly understood you.”
In response, Mia retorted, “Yes, well, the sentiment is mutual. So spare me that look: your
understanding falls short regardless.”
At that moment, Mia detected an unusual demeanor in Timothy.
Standing nearby, Shelly couldn’t resist chiming in. “Mia, Timothy is asking for an exnation.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
Don’t sidestep the question.”
Mia openly confessed. “Yes, I was the one who struck her.”
“Timothy, you heard it. Mia admitted to physically assaulting me!” Shelly eximed.
Undaunted, Mia defiantly lifted her head, locking eyes with Timothy just as she had moments ago.
Meeting Mia’s eyes, Timothy was suddenly reminded of the familiar look he had encountered
countless times over the past three years.
Yet, each time, he chose to ignore and dismiss anything she said
In a cold, resolute tone, Timothy finally demanded, “Apologize!”
Mia’s eyes shed with a hint of mockery. Indeed, nothing had changed.
Feeling triumphant, Shelly quipped, “Mia, did you catch that? Timothy is demanding an apology from
you!”
In the next moment, Timothy redirected his gaze toward Shelly. “Shelly: I want you to apologize to
her,” he ordered.
by are you
mistaken? Why would I apologize to Mia?” Shelly retorted.
Timothy’s tone turned icy. “She’s your sister–inw. Show some respect. Who granted you the
right to address her so casually?”
This statement undoubtedly sparked a storm at the scene!
Mia stared at Timothy in front of her, disbelief etched across her face. Was he unaware that it was
his engagement day?
How could be utter euch words in Maya’s presence? Was he not concerned about making her cry?
Ih the ensuing moment, Maya did, indeed, burst into tears, eximing. “Tim!”

Sharon interjected firmly. “Tim, if you im that Mia is Shelly’s sister–inw, how does Maya fit
into the picture?”
