Chapter 406

Maya’s expression soured. “Mia, I’m a wealthy heiress. You can’t possibly compare yourself to me.”

Mia replied nonchalantly, “You’re right, I can’t match your shamelessness.”

With that, Mia entered the elevator and left.

Frustrated, Maya stomped her foot. She had intended to visit Laura in the hospital, but the security

guards intercepted her, preventing her from getting close.

On the other hand, Mia was able to effortlessly enter the hospital room.

Maya couldn’t help but boil with frustration.

Nonetheless, she found solace in the anticipation of Mia’s upcoming embarrassment at the college’s

music show.

Maya couldn’t wait to watch Mia stumble awkwardly through playing the piano on stage.

After leaving the hospital, Mia hailed a taxi and headed back to campus.

As Mia was on her way, her phone buzzed with an incoming call from Jason.

“Mia, there have been some significant developments in Felix’s case. The fraud charges against him

have been substantiated.

“It looks like he’ll be facing several years behind bars. As for Janice, who pushed you, she’s been

sentenced to a year in jail as well.”

Upon hearing this, Mia pursed her lips slightly. “I understand. But what about the case where Felix had

his leg broken?”

Mia’s curiosity intensified as she pondered how Timothy had navigated the ordeal.

Jason hesitated for a moment before replying. “There wasn’t enough evidence for that matter, so it

didn’t

proceed. Timothy isn’t implicated.”

“I see.” Mia replied, knowing full well that Timothy wouldn’t face any repercussions.

“Jason, I appreciate your assistance. I’ll treat you to coffee later as a token of my gratitude. But for now,

I need to rest for a while before my afternoon lectures,” Mia said as she stifled a yawn.

“Sure thing. Mia. Take care and don’t overwork yourself,” Jason replied.

After ending the call, Jason reviewed the investigation results before him, which showed the following

headline: “Mia Bowen is married to Timothy Barrett.”

This news was difficult for Jason to digest, and he spent the entire morning trying to process it.

It suddenly made sense to him why the relationship between Mia and Timothy had always seemed

peculiar.

It also explained why Timothy had promptly mobilized resources to locate Mia when she was abducted

by Bob and Mary.

Furthermore, it shed light on why Mia had been evasive when he asked about her relationship with

Timothy outside the police station last time.

Jason straightened his tie before dialing Connor’s number. “Are you busy? I need to ask you

something.

“I’m available at the moment. What is it? If it doesn’t concern Mia, can we discuss it after I’m done with

work tonight?” Connor replied.

“It’s about Mia. What’s her connection with Timothy? Jason inquired.

Upon hearing this, Connor said bluntly. “You’ve discovered it, haven’t you?”

It made sense. Considering Jason’s profession as a lawyer, it was likely that he would have discovered

Mia’s relationship with Timothy sooner or later..

Jason frowned. “So, you knew about this. Why didn’t you tell us?”

“I stumbled upon it accidentally, and Mia pleaded with me to keep it confidential. How could I refuse

her?

“Connor clarified.

Jason let out a weary sigh. “She must have endured some sort of injustice within the Barrett family to

have ended up seeking a divorce.”

“You think I’m oblivious to this? Mia is undeniably determined; she has her own plans. We’ve only

recently started fostering a stronger connection with her as her older brothers.

“If we intervene too assertively, it could trigger her rebellious tendencies,” Connor replied.

Jason’s expression turned stern. “What did Mia receive in the divorce settlement? Money, stocks.

properties–what are her assets?”

Connor found himself somewhat perplexed. “I can’t say for certain, but considering Mia’s financial

standing and her character, she likely didn’t request much.”

As an exceptional lawyer with a flawless reputation, Jason couldn’t bear the thought of Mia going

through a divorce and walking away with nothing!

He was determined not to let Timothy escape the consequences of divorcing her.
