Chapter 413
Meet My Brothers
After a brief pause, Mia spoke up, âJason, are you serious?â
âI donât joke about these things, Jason replied.
Mia couldnât help but feel uneasy. âSo⦠you probably havenât gone to see Timothy yet, have you?â
âI just did. I came to pick you up right after.â Jason replied.
Mia felt a sense of dread wash over her.
If only she had clarified everything with Jason earlier, none of this would have happened.
Turning to Jason, Mia asked, âJason, why didnât you inform me about something this important?â
âMia, I should be the one handling these matters for you. You donât need to worry about it at all.
âLeaving a marriage with nothing is simply unacceptable. Asking for money doesnât make you
materialistic.
âThese are all toxic beliefs that men try to instill in women, manipulating them into thinking they
shouldnât value money. But in the end, itâs these men who benefit,â Jason explained.
Upon hearing this, Mia couldnât help but sigh. âI understand that youâre looking out for me, but my
situation with Timothy is more complicated than that of other divorced couples.â
âThereâs no difference, Mia. Trust me,â Jason reassured her. âIâll ensure you receive your maximum
rights
and benefits.â
Feeling emotionally drained, Mia murmured, âJason, these conditions youâve outlinedâTimothy
transferring all his shares to me, along with millions in cash, numerous properties, and stakes in
subsidiary companiesâhow did you uncover all of this?â
Of course, Mia was aware of the Barrett familyâs wealth!
Just Timothyâs shares alone held significant value.
How could Mia possibly request the entire stake in the Barrett Group?
Jason replied calmly, âHave you forgotten what I do for a living?â
âJason, itâs unlikely the Barrett family would agree to these terms.â Mia remarked skeptically.
Jason replied nonchalantly, âTimothy has already given his consent.â
What?
Mia was stunned. âTimothy agreed? That canât be possible!â
âHe even put his signature on it. If you donât believe me, see for yourself,â Jason asserted.
Mia swiftly flipped to the final page and confirmed Timothyâs familiar, bold signature.
Now, Mia was utterly bewildered.
How could Timothy possibly have agreed to it?
Was he not in his right mind?
Observing the traffic lights ahead, Jason commented, âDespite Timothyâs shortcomings, heâs
surprisingly generous regarding your divorce.
âHe signed the papers without even reviewing them. It seems he has a great deal of trust in you.â
Mia thought to herself: âWell, it turns out he signed the papers without even a single glance, just as I
suspected.â
Considering Timothyâs character, it seemed improbable that he would agree to such stringent
conditions!
Mia was at a loss for words. âHow did the conversation go? Why did he sign the document without
even
taking a look at it?â
It was completely out of character for Timothy.
Jason raised an eyebrow. âI initially drafted it this way as a negotiating tactic, not expecting him to
agree. However, I never imagined he would sign it without even looking at the content.
âHe probably assumed it was the property settlement agreement you had prepared. Thatâs why I
mentioned his apparent trust in you.â
Mia was taken aback. How had she not recognized the extent of Timothyâs trust in her?
As she gazed at the property settlement agreement bearing Timothyâs signature, an array of emotions
washed over her.
âMia, thereâs no need for you to handle any of this yourself. Iâll take care of everything on your behalf,â
Jason assured Mia.
âJason, thereâs something I havenât told you. Before marrying Timothy, I signed a prenuptial agreement.
None of these assets are legally tied to me.â
âWhat?â
Jason pulled the car over to the side of the road, his gaze fixed on Mia in disbelief. âMia, did you really
sign the papers?â
âYes, I did,â she affirmed.
Jason cursed under his breath. âNo wonder Timothy signed the agreement so readily. He must have
been expecting me, hasnât he?â
