Chapter 137

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 outdoors. It’ll be bad to wither those

poor

flowers outside.”

His words made Shelly’s blood boil.

The shade and layers of powder scarcely hid her fuming cheeks. “Timothy, did you hear that? How

dare he

insult me!”

Timothy’s eyes turned icier when he noticed Liam’s presence. It seemed this was the man Mia came

with.

A smile spread across Mia’s lips when she looked over her shoulder at Liam.

His sharp tongue never failed to amuse her once, and he managed to voice out her thoughts.

He stood next to her side casually while staring at Timothy shrewdly.

A few days ago, Connor mentioned that Mia fainted due to illness, as well as the fact that Timothy took

her to the hospital and hired a caretaker.

As a man himself, Liam saw through Timothy’s intentions easily.

But, according to Liam’s standards, Timothy didn’t deserve Mia at all.

Liam flashed a dashing smile. “Be mindful of how your people behave, Mr. Barrett. Don’t let them loose

and bite anyone. Otherwise, someone might bite you in the back one day.”

Timothy’s thin lips pursed. “I don’t need a lesson from you.”

Noticing the tense atmosphere between the men, Mia felt her heart jumping out of her chest.

+15 BONOS

This was freaking Timothy Barrett! And Liam was challenging him!

She was aware that Liam was standing up for her, so she pulled his arm. “Let’s go. The auction is

starting soon.”

He wanted to say more but followed her in the end, figuring that it was Timothy’s luck for now.

The provocative glare from Liam ruined Timothy’s mood.

Maya cooed, “Calm down, Timothy. Liam acts that way all the time. He often gets in people’s bad

books in show business when he was in Nord City. That’s why he stays under the radar.

“If someone exposes his sharp tongue, he might lose his fanbase.”

Shelly couldn’t follow. “Isn’t he that famous actor’s stuntman?”

Maya explained, “Liam does have a stuntman, but I can recognize him. That person is my cousin, Liam

Lane. He’s not a stuntman. But his agency is using the stuntman to shield Liam away from scandals.”

Shelly snorted coldly. “Mia is not an easy woman. She just divorced Timothy, and she’s hookin up with

Liam already. Just what part of her makes him fall for her? Perhaps, when she’s in bed
