Semua Bab Scorned Wife No More: A Queen Pampered by Three Tycoons: Bab 121 - Bab 130

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 welcomed 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 Cinderella."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 smell coming from your mouth. "You should return home and cleanse your mouth before stepping o

Sensing the ball of rage forming in Liam, Mia grabbed his hand to stop him. "Calm down!"He glared at Maya, mocking, "Whose credit is it that you're able to come this far? Know your place!"Maya's smile fell, fearing the possibility that he revealed she was adopted.Only a few in Nord City knew of it. No one in Bern City was aware of it. That was why she loved visiting Bern City, where no one knew her true origin.The rich people in Nord City looked down on her solely because she was adopted.It served the cause for Maya's resolution to marry an all-rounded man with powerful background.Timothy was the candidate she had her eyes on.Once she earned the title of Mrs. Barrett, no one in Nord City would give her contemptuous looks!Maya zipped her lips immediately, and Mia found the situation off.Considering the fact that Liam was disguising himself as that actor, wouldn't Liam's attitude tarnish that actor's reputation?"Mia, take it. You can buy anything you fancy." The bidding number

The crowd surged into commotion.Liam seethed at the thought of Timothy's insanity.Shelly jeered from behind, "Mia Bowen, it's ten million now. Raise your number if you have the money. If you can't cough up enough money, you'll be detained here."The next thing that happened was Liam raising Mia's hand. "Twelve million!"Mia was stunned while he appeared rather calm. He didn't lack money anyway.As long as Mia took a liking to something, no one could take it away from her—Liam firmly believed so.Although 12 million dollars was kinda far-fetched, he had five brothers—or more like ATMs—to count on!Timothy was equally taken aback. After all, it was such a huge amount of money.Still, announcing defeat was not in his plans.The host on stage appeared hesitant as well. Soon, an attendant approached Liam. "Excuse me, sir. Since it involves a huge amount of money, we have to verify your funding to make sure that it's fair."Shelly gloated. "Did I hit the bulls-eye?"Liam rose from his sea

Timothy dropped the bombshell and left.Maya's face fell. She followed him in haste. "Timothy, hear me out! Connor has agreed to perform the surgery. He just doesn't have the time! "We've also decided on the date for our engagement ceremony. If you call it off, he'll misunderstand the situation again!"He looked down at her icily. "Maya Lane, the engagement was only a deal to begin with. It's not real. I hope you can keep that in mind.""I know." She could barely keep a calm expression at his words."Very well. Since Connor isn't sincere about doing the surgery, I think there's no need to continue with the deal. It's over now." He flung her hand away and walked away ever so indifferently.Maya stood over there with red eyes. She had worked so hard for it, but her effort went down the drain!Shelly came over. "Don't cry, Ms. Lane.""Shelly, Timothy actually has feelings for Mia. He said he wanted to call off the engagement!""What? How could he fall for a gold-digger? There has to be a

Mia waited for a while until Timothy spun around. His bloodshot eyes showed that he didn't have a good rest.Anxiety surged in her. "Did something happen to Mrs. Barrett Senior?"She pivoted on her heels, intending to barge into the room before he held her wrist."She's perfectly fine." His voice was gruff."What's the problem then?" Her puzzled eyes met his dark ones. She couldn't read his mind.He said sternly, "Something happened on Maya's brother's side. So, we need a Plan B.""What happened?"Wasn't the engagement ceremony soon? Was Maya's brother disregarding the Barretts when they were going to be a family?"Mia studied Timothy's face in an attempt to gain at least some information from it. However, he turned to face the window. "It's nothing important."Her arms tightened around the bouquet, and her questions still hung in the air.She was certain that he was hiding something from her.At that moment, Martha emerged from the patient room. "You're here, Mrs. Barrett. Mrs. Barr
