Chapter 41

Before Mia could say anything, Mildred piped up sycophantically. "You must be Timothy. Honestly, Mia didn't even tell us about her marrying you. We didn't expect you to be so outstanding! This must be a blessing from the heavens."If Mia ever acts up or throws a tantrum, you can let me know. I'll teach her a lesson!"Mary smiled and added, "Yes, exactly. We're a family now, so we should help each other out whenever necessary."Timothy had long since looked into Mia's background. He knew she was an orphan but that a couple had adopted her. Despite that, she'd grown up with her aunt. That alone was enough to tell him that Mia's adoptive parents weren't exactly great people.He looked at Mary and Mildred coldly. "What do you guys want?"Mary's eyes lit up. "It's simple, really. The little bitch won a million dollars in prize money from that competition she participated in, yet she didn't bother asking whether we needed anything."Her brother's going to start dating soon. Who knows when he

Chapter 42

"Grandma!" Mia cut Mildred off as soon as Mildred brought up borrowing money. She looked away, too embarrassed to meet Timothy's eyes. Despite being rejected many times, Mildred was still shameless enough to ask for money."Grandma? You never see me as your grandmother. It's your younger brother we're talking about, and we shouldn't leave him high and dry." Mildred then turned to Timothy. "Will you help us, Timothy?"Mary nodded enthusiastically on the side too. Timothy was rich, which meant that she could live comfortably in the future. Timothy could lend them money so that they could purchase a house. Then, he could buy them a car. He might even be able to find her children a high-paying job!Mia's breath hitched. She had already agreed to divorce Timothy. If he lent her foster parents money, she would be no different from a gold digger. Mia looked at Mary and Mildred before speaking,"You heard it loud and clear just now. I wear the pants in this household. I have the final say,

Chapter 43

Within seconds, Timothy felt that Mia had become a stranger to him. Mary sneered, "It's one of those relationships, you know? Guys love jumping in to protect the girls as long as they sweetly call them their "big brothers" in the coyest way possible."Several of Mia's "brothers" appeared and took the assets under Patricia's name. They even got into a fight. Mary was convinced that there was more to these "brothers' than met the eye.Timothy squinted, recalling the man who picked Mia up in his helicopter, and the mysterious man who paid the hospital ten years' worth of hospital bills. Timothy still couldn't identify those men until now. Could they be Mia's "brothers"?Not one to let Mary insult her brothers, Mia barked, "Holly, take them away. If they make a scene, ask the security to call the police.Mary scowled, "Mia, you're an ungrateful daughter. You ought to be slapped!" Mildred slumped to the ground, "Oh, Lord! What have I done to deserve this granddaughter of mine? She abando

Chapter 44

Mia cast down her eyes and faked nonchalance. "Thank you." She saw no need to clarify the misunderstanding Timothy currently harbored.Mia's grateful response only fueled Timothy's rage. He pressed his lips and uttered, "Mia, behave now. Don't get all chummy with another man."Mia rebutted plainly, "But we're divorced.""As long as we haven't headed to the city council to finalize it, you remain married to me. You can't flirt with other men unless you don't love yourself.""Let's find a day and visit the city council then."Timothy tossed away his tie angrily. "So, you're doing this again. You know Laura doesn't want us to get a divorce. Is this a threat now?""I'm not trying to coerce you or something." Mia looked at Timothy and continued matter-of-factly, "We can finalize the divorce in secret. We don't have to tell Laura before she gets her surgery.""You think Laura is a fool?" Timothy grabbed Mia by her chin. "You want to divorce me this badly. Is it because you can't wait to marr

Chapter 45

Mia raised her brow. "Laura wasn't saying that she would only get the surgery done once I was pregnant. She wants you to have a baby. You're not getting any younger, and you might be too old for it in the future.""Did you just call me old, Mia?""That's not the point, Mr. Barrett. If you want to persuade Laura to get the surgery done, you should knock someone up as soon as possible. Many women would love to carry your child. Sleep with a different woman every night, and one of them is bound to get pregnant."Timothy frowned. "What makes you think I'm someone like that?" Sleep with a different woman every night? Who did she think he was? "When push comes to shove, Maya is available. You two are a match made in heaven so of course, you should get married and build a family with her." Mia looked at Timothy defiantly.Mia's words did not make Timothy happy. Instead, it annoyed him further. He let go of Mia. "I want to build a family with my legal wife.""Then let's visit the city counc

Chapter 46

"Folic acid is a kind of prenatal vitamin."Prenatal vitamin? Timothy peered at the capsule bottle, and his expression darkened. Mia was taking prenatal vitamins? Was she planning to get pregnant? His phone buzzed all of a sudden, but Timothy couldn't take his eyes off the bottle of folic acid.Heath gave a gentle reminder. "Sir, it's from your mother."Timothy picked up the call. "Hey, Mom.""Timothy, I thought about it long and hard and I figured I should tell you this. Several days ago, I went to the hospital to visit an old friend. Guess who I saw?"Timothy continued tinkering with the bottle in his hand. "Cut to the chase, Mom.""I saw Mia meeting with a gynecologist. I think she wants to get pregnant. And with Laura's support on her side, she plans to stay in our family. You should be careful now. Don't get her pregnant or you can't divorce her.""What makes you think that I'm divorcing her?" Timothy's response surprised Sharon. "Didn't you say you were divorcing her and that

Chapter 47

Once Mia put it that way, Wilhelmina took the bait right away. She cooed, "I'm free, Mia. I can do that.""Oh, thank you!" Mia handed the design draft to Wilhelmina, happy that she finally found a reason not to see Timothy. Moments later, Wilhelmina dolled herself up and drove to the mansion.Before she left, she looked the neighborhood up online. She read that only rich people lived in the neighborhood. Since Mia had said that the owner was young and handsome, he must be an heir to a big company.Wilhelmina drove to the mansion in a cheery mood. She supervised the whole renovation installation. But as she gazed at the bright red curtain, she wondered if the workers delivered the wrong material. Before long, Timothy arrived at his home. Looking at the workers outside, he grinned. Mia had to be inside. Timothy entered the living room. Oh, the bright red curtain! The asymmetrical design! Everything was assaulting his poor eyeballs!Timothy looked around. "Where's Mia?""Sir, Mia coul

Chapter 48

"Don't mention it. We're a family anyway. Don't overwork yourself, alright?" Dominic said to Mia before hanging up. Then, he turned to glare at the other attendees with an impassive face. "What are you staring at? If the reports come back as shitty as this month's, all of you will be fired."The top management level looked at each other, wondering who called Dominic just now. Could it be his wife? Because one moment, Dominic was the flame-breathing devil incarnate. The next moment, he was all loving and caring.Meanwhile, after Mia hung up, she jotted down the money she owed Dominic. She recalled what Mary said and realized that she could use her prize money to take out a loan and purchase a better apartment. Patricia's rheumatism could use a dryer environment.Once Mia made up her mind, she went to Patricia's room to share her plan with Patricia. Patricia was moved. "Mia, I agree that you should get a place for yourself. It gives you a sense of security. And when you have a husband,

Chapter 49

Mia called several times but no one picked up. She then texted Timothy, "What do you not like about the decor?" But after waiting for some time, there was no response from Timothy. Mia knew that he was doing this on purpose.Yet, if Timothy didn't repeal the complaint, it would negatively impact the studio's reputation. She needed to convince Timothy to repeal the complaint.When Mia returned to the office, Wilhelmina remarked sarcastically, "Some people might have won the prize but they turned out to be incompetent. "After all, drafting something and actually working on it are two different things. If the complaint is not repealed, our credibility will take a hit at the end of the year."Ignoring Wilhelmina's negative remark, Mia turned to Felix. "Felix, I'll fix this as soon as possible.""I know you will, Mia. But is there a communication problem between you and the client? I checked the design draft. It doesn't look like something you would draw."Mia beat around the bush. "Pe

Chapter 50

Undaunted by Maya's question, Mia placed the design paper on the table confidently. "Yes, that's me. When is Timothy coming back?""He's working overtime today, so I don't know when he's coming back. You can tell me everything since I live with him anyway." Maya grabbed the design paper and began perusing it on the couch. Silence returned to the living room. Only the noise of pages being leafed through could be heard.Mia stood in the same spot. The quietness amplified the ticking of time. Maya put down the design paper and asked, "Ms. Bowen, I like your design here, but certain details need to be tweaked. I'm thinking of having a photo wall for our wedding photos. Where do you think we should display it?"Wedding photos? Mia recalled that when Timothy and she got married, Timothy absolutely refused to hang their wedding photos. Laura had to keep bugging him to change his mind. And now that he was with Maya, he wanted a photo wall. Now she knew who was more important.Mia rolled her e
