Chapter 317

    Mia was left in disbelief as she looked at the document handed by Laura.


    The revtion that her unborn child had been formally announced as the heir of the Barrett family


    moments ago had left her utterly astounded.


    Despite the initial shock, Mia attempted to reassure herself with the notion that this designation. was


    merely a verbalmitment, subject to change in the future contingent upon Laura


    sessfully undergoing the surgery.


    Yet, to her astonishment, Laura had gone a step further, not only conceptualizing the arrangement but


    also preparing an official document. She even insisted on an immediate signature from


    Timothy..


    Signing it would mean that the document now carries legal implications.


    However, Mia remained resolute in her refusal to have her twins take on the role of heirs to the


    Barrett family.


    Sharon’s eyelids twitched at the sight of the document.


    Swiftly taking it from Laura’s hands, Sharon’s anger intensified as she read through the uses. It


    was so overwhelming that she almost struggled to stand upright.


    “Mom, why do you insist on having Tim sign this so prematurely? Don’t you have enough trust in


    him?”


    “It’s not that I don’t trust him, but rather, I don’t trust other people. I’m well aware of the thoughts


    circting among all of you.


    “Irrespective of what unfolds between Mia and Tim down the road, Mia’s child is the designated


    heir of the Barrett family, and no one can change that.”


    Sharon remained hesitant. “But what if it’s a girl?”


    “Regardless of whether it’s a boy or a girl, it doesn’t matter!”


    Laura’s unexpected proposition just before her surgery caught everyone off guard, particrly Sharon.


    Helplessly, she gazed at Timothy and pleaded, “Tim, could you go have a conversation


    with Grandma?”


    Sharon was firm in her stance, discouraging Timothy from signing the document. The situation seemed


    to be a trap.


    Originally, the n was for Timothy to finalize his divorce with Mia after Laura’s surgery. However, by


    signing this document, there was a potential risk.


    Mia could resort to cunning tactics to evade the divorce and possibly even contemte conceiving a


    child with Timothy, creating aplex and undesirable situation,

    Sharon was resolute in having Maya as her daughter–inw, and she couldn’t allow Mia to impede her


    ns.


    As Timothy took hold of the document, he uttered in a steely tone, “Grandma, I disagree.”


    Mia felt an immediate sense of relief. It was imperative that the document remained unsigned.


    Sharon promptly added, “Exactly, Mom. Signing it now wouldn’t be appropriate.”


    Laura fixed her gaze on Timothy and sternly inquired, “Why do you disagree?”


    “Grandma, I’m ready to put my signature on it, but I prefer to wait until you’ve emerged from the


    operating room. I won’t sign it before then.”


    Mia was taken aback by Timothy’s unexpected response, observing his profile with disbelief as she


    tried to discern his expression.


    The fact that Timothy had agreed was beyond Mia’sprehension.


    Sharon’s expression shifted to one of unease as she heard the news. “Tim, how could you possibly


    agree to this?”


    If he were to give his consent at this moment, what implications would it have for Maya’s future? Would


    her future son not be deemed worthy of inheriting the Barrett Group?


    Timothy remained indifferent, disregarding Sharon’s concerns.


    He casually ced the document beside Laura, remarking, “If there are so many unresolved issues,


    perhaps you should personally address them.


    “Depending solely on paperwork might not be the most effective approach.”


    The atmosphere grew strained as Laura and Timothy locked eyes, each unwilling to yield.


    The escting tension hung thick in the air.


    The two formidable figures of the Barrett family confronted each other, and those present dared


    not utter a word.


    Mia held Laura’s hand and gently spoke, “Grandma, I believe Tim has a good point. Let’s wait until


    T


    after your surgery to discuss this. We have enough time, and there’s no need to rush at the

    “No, it has to be signed immediately. Otherwise, I won’t proceed with the surgery,” Laura abruptly


    expressed her frustration.

    Timothy pursed his lips tightly and retorted, “Grandma, perhaps this isn’t the time to be so


    stubborn.”


    “At my age, can’t I be a little wilful? Just sign it. It’s such a straightforward matter. Are you seriously


    going to disagree with me on this?”
