Mia was taken aback as she looked at the shredded papers, marveling at how swiftly Maya had torn


    through the thick document.


    She seemed to be genuinely furious.


    With the papers now reduced to fragments, Maya fixed a piercing re on Mia. “You won’t be able to


    sign it now,” she stated firmly.


    With Mia unable to sign the divorce document, its validity was unquestionably voided.


    Mia kept her silence, directing her gaze at Timothy instead. She inquired, “What’s our next step?”


    Mia understood that she couldn’t intervene directly, but she also discerned that Maya had indirectly


    presented a solution. With the document torn to shreds, its legal validity was now nullified.


    Seeing the hint of satisfaction in Mia’s eyes, Timothy’s smile vanished instantly. Speaking calmly, he


    remarked, “I have another copy.”


    Mia waspletely shocked by this revtion.


    Meanwhile, Maya’s cries grew even louder.


    Despite nearly losing her temper, Mia chose to respond with a smile upon noticing Maya’s distressed


    state.


    “That’s wonderful, Mr. Barrett. Just remember to bring it to me next time. I’ll print out another copy sign


    it for you. Don’t forget, alright?”


    Upon hearing Mia’s response, Maya panicked momentarily.


    wand


    “Mia, where is your sense of decency? I’ve never known anyone to take everything from their spouse in


    a divorce. Who do you think you are to leave Timothy with nothing?”


    Mia raised an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on Maya. “That’s just how it is. Timothy feels indebted to me, so


    he has decided to transfer all his assets to my possession.


    “He’s concerned about how I’ll manage on my own after our divorce,” Miamented with a touch of


    irony.


    Observing the jealousy in Maya’s eyes, Mia couldn’t resist teasing, “Oh, Maya, didn’t you once mention


    how much you liked Timothy?


    “Well, now that he’s on the verge of bing a pauper, that shouldn’t bother you, right?”


    Maya was caught off guard.


    Who would want to marry someone destitute?


    Indeed, Maya had tirelessly strived to leave behind her orphan status, eventually securing her position


    as the heiress of the Lane family.


    Her long–standing goal was to marry into an esteemed family and achieve the status of a wealthy and


    influential youngdy.


    Nheless, Maya was not about to reveal her true feelings. She swiftly countered, “Certainly, it


    wouldn’t bother me. But what entitles you to take such arge sum of money?”


    “Because Timothy is willing. Do you have any say in the matter?” With those words, Mia swiftly walked


    off the stage.


    Growing anxious, Maya turned to Timothy, questioning. “Are you honestly going to walk away with


    nothing and transfer all your assets to Mia?”


    Maya still couldn’t wrap her head around it!


    How could a man act in such a manner? Particrly Timothy, who came from a wealthy lineage and


    possessed numerous assets. After all, he didn’t exactly build everything from the ground up with Mia.


    Simply providing her with some money would have been enough; there was no need to give her all his


    assets!


    With aposed demeanor, Timothy nced


    asserted firmly.


    Over at Maya. “That is my business, not yours,” he


    “Tim, please don’t misconstrue my intentions. I’m saying this out of concern for your well–being. If word


    spreads that all your shares are going to Mia, it will undoubtedly impact the Barrett Group’s stock price.


    “Besides, you could simply offer her some cash and perhaps one of your many properties: given Mia’s


    background as an orphan, she’ll never be able to exhaust all that wealth in her lifetime.


    “Is there really a necessity to hand over all your assets to her?”


    Timothy chose not to respond to Maya’s question. Instead, he turned away and left the stage.


    Now, only Maya remained. As she gazed at the torn papers on the ground, her expression turned bitter.


    Regardless, Maya was determined not to let Mia have her way.


    After regaining herposure, Maya took out her phone and made a call.

    picked up some beauty and skincare supplements especially for you. I’ll drop them off for youter.”
