Mia nced at the person on the screen. Without answering the woman, she turned off theptop.


    After all, there was no need for Mia to exin anything.


    After Mia turned off theptop assertively, she turned around and looked at Timothy. He did not say a word but started eating.


    Soon, Heath received a call. He left the ward and said to the woman on the other side of the phone, "She''s Mr. Barrett''s ex-wife. You''d better not mess with her." While Timothy was eating, Mia finished reading the proposal in her hand.


    She had to admit that the document was very valuable.


    Mia was about to leave the ward when Timothy almost finished eating, but his voice sounded behind her. "What did you say when you met her at the cafe earlier?" "Did you follow me?"


    "I followed her, to be exact. After all, the Hopkins are not good people."


    Mia totally agreed with that.


    She paused briefly before she said, "Grandma Laura asked me to talk to her because she doesn''t agree with you about giving her all the shares."


    "Did Grandma ask you to bring the will and divorce agreement along?" Timothy asked.


    "How did you know that?"


    Suddenly, Mia felt curious about Timothy. He knew everything, but he chose to endure it alone.


    Mia took a deep breath. "I also think that giving Mrs. Barrett shares will do her no good."


    Having said that, Mia left the ward, but her mood did not improve.


    She ryed to Laura, and thetter said nonchntly, "Don''t take what she said to heart. Someone like her would have been kicked out of the family if Timothy had not been soft-hearted. She wouldn''t even have had the chance to threaten him."


    Thinking of the way Sharon scolded Timothy, Mia sympathized with Timothy suddenly.


    Everyone said that Timothy was merciless, but she knew that he was actually a man of principles. At least, he was a lot better than those seemingly righteous people who backstabbed others at critical moments.


    Then, Laura added, "Let me be the bad guy. I don''t have much time left. She can hate me if she wants to."


    Mia held Laura''s hand. "Then you have to recover soon and keep an eye on Timothy."


    Later, Luna''s case was finalized. She was already a fugitive, yet she


    committed another crime, sol


    would most probably face a harsh final sentence.


    But Mia did not go back, as Laura''s condition was not stable yet.


    She stayed in Bern City and started her hotel business.


    She arranged for people to do it ording to Timothy''s advice, and everything went smoothly.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    However, when they were about to sign the agreement, the other party informed her that they needed some time to think about it.


    Mia sent someone to investigate the matter and found out that someone from Yellow Ind was secretlypeting with her.


    That was interesting.


    Did the Yellow Inders do it on purpose?


    Soon, Peyton reported the situation to her: "Ms. Mia, ording to our investigation, it seemed that the Barretts helped them out. That''s why the other party suddenly changed their minds."


    "The Barretts?"


    Something was not right. Timothy would never do that.


    Mia looked at Peyton. "Did you manage to find out who did that?"


    "From the descriptions, I think it''s Mrs. Barrett."


    Judging from their quick actions, Mia reckoned that Sharon might have informed them about Timothy''s arrangements.


    But before she could react, Timothy sent someone and settled the matter.


    The Yellow Inders did not get to sign the agreement.


    The other party approached her and exined shamelessly, "Ms. Lane, Mrs. Barrett deceived us. We hope that you can overlook our past mistakes and continue to coborate with us." S


    Mia said with a half-hearted smile, "But I don''t like being betrayed, so there''s no need for us to coborate anymore."
