Chapter 321
Mia intentionally dropped the document in front of Maya, making sure she took notice of it.
Fueled by discontent, Mia was set on complicating matters for everyone.
With Laura undergoing surgery, Mia saw no reason to exercise caution.
Sharon’s expression grew uneasy upon seeing the document on the floor. “Mia, why are you carelessly dropping things everywhere? Pick it up quickly!”
What if Maya happened to see it?
“Of course.”
Mia purposefully took her time retrieving it, ensuring Maya had a clear view of the front page. She couldn’t help but flash a smug grin in Maya’s direction.
Maya’s expression immediately tensed. “Mrs. Barrett, what’s the significance of this document?”
Mia smirked and replied, “Do you really need to ask? Can’t you read? Grandma Laura brought out this document specifically for Timothy and I to sign before her surgery.
“The child I’m carrying is destined to be the heir of the Barrett Group, and any children from other women will have to step aside.”
As Mia concluded her statement, she couldn’t help but notice the uneasy expression on Maya’s face.
Maya, who was determined to marry into the Barrett family, would likely be infuriated once she
learned about the contents of this document.
Before long, Mia sensed an intense gaze fixed upon her, seemingly emanating from Timothy.
She calmly raised her head, glancing at Timothy before her. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
With Laura undergoing surgery, Mia felt no inhibitions at this point.
Given that Maya and Sharon had provoked her, Mia was resolute in giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Although Mia wasn’t particularly interested in the heir document, she had no intention of allowing Sharon and Maya to persist in flaunting their arrogance.
Mia was set on thwarting their plans.

Timothy narrowed his eyes slightly, choosing not to respond.
Sharon hurriedly explained, “Ms. Lane, please don’t misunderstand. This document is fake.”
Mia deliberately opened the page, displaying Timothy’s signature. “It’s signed. How can it not be
real?”
Sharon exclaimed, “Mia, this document is contingent upon you having a child. But the child in your
belly is a fabrication, simply a lie devised to convince Grandma to agree to the surgery.”
Shelly nodded in agreement and added, “Exactly. Mia, there’s no way you were ever pregnant. This whole document is irrelevant to you.”
“Are you seriously considering manipulating Tim into having a child with you?” Shelly sneered.
Sharon pointed at Mia and retorted, “Mia, quit daydreaming. Tim will never have a child with you. Signing the document won’t make a difference. Maybe it’s time to let go of this fantasy of yours.”
Observing Sharon pointing, Mia forcefully swung the document toward her, remarking, “Mind your
manners. It’s impolite to point fingers at people.
“I hadn’t intended to sign it initially, but given your insistence, wouldn’t it be disrespectful if I
choose not to?”
Sharon was momentarily taken aback, trembling with anger. “Tim, are you hearing this? This is
Mia’s true nature. Don’t let her deceive you.”
Maya’s eyes lit up, seizing the opportunity to feign vulnerability. “Ms. Bowen, surely Mrs. Barrett didn’t mean what she said. How could you lay hands on her? She’s your mother–in–law, for
goodness‘ sake!”
Mia replied nonchalantly, “Sorry, but that’s just how I am. I have a temper, and I’m not particularly reasonable.”
As Mia spoke, she casually glanced up at Timothy, displaying an air of nonchalance.
All eyes turned toward him, anticipating a response.
Timothy retorted coldly, “This document was given by Grandma, and no one can question her decision. With her surgery already underway, I don’t have time to waste here.”
