Chapter 424

With Laura’s surgery completed, Mia’s divorce from Timothy was only a matter of time.

Seeing Maya’s smug expression, Mia’s unease grew.

She smirked back. “Maya, it seems like you haven’t finished reading the document, have you? Let me

remind you to take a look at the property settlement section.

“I’m destined to become the wealthiest woman–who needs men anyway?” Mia chuckled.

Maya, still skeptical, turned to the relevant section.

She couldn’t conceal her shock as she read the first clause, which stated that all shares owned by

Timothy were to be transferred to Mia.

With a mocking expression, Maya retorted, “Mia, you must be dreaming! How could Tim ever agree to

such conditions?”

If Timothy were to transfer all the shares of the Barrett Group to Mia, he would end up with no assets.

Mia folded her arms and stated firmly, “I’m sorry, but Timothy has already signed the agreement, which

means he accepts these divorce terms.”

“That can’t be!” Maya exclaimed.

She quickly flipped to the last page and, to her astonishment, found Timothy’s signature there.

Maya’s vision momentarily blurred, and she hurriedly turned to Timothy, clutching the document. “Tim,

did you really sign this? Could it be a fake signature? Is Mia trying to deceive you?”

Timothy looked down at the document and nodded. “Yes, I signed it,” he confirmed.

“Tim, how could you be so naive? Do you understand the implications of this?”

Maya could hardly believe it; the signature on the document was indeed Timothy’s!

It seemed he would be left with nothing now!

Did this mean that if Maya were to marry into the Barrett family in the future, she would also end up

without any assets?

It simply didn’t make sense. Everything belonging to the Barretts should rightfully be Maya’s. How

could Timothy even contemplate giving his assets to Mia?

Mia’s gaze shifted to Timothy. She, too, wanted to ask him the same question as Maya.

Timothy’s sudden flirtatious behavior caught Mia off guard, preventing her from voicing the question

she had in mind. To her astonishment, she was forcefully kissed by him.

Timothy straightened up and casually replied, “It’s none of your concern.”

His dismissive reply left Maya furious, struggling to catch her breath.

Hearing Timothy’s response, Mia was also left speechless. Was Timothy out of his mind?

Looking at the divorce papers in Maya’s hand, Timothy firmly instructed, “Give it back to her.”

At first, Mia had no intention of reclaiming the document. However, upon seeing Maya’s furious

expression, Mia decided to approach her.

With a wry smile, she remarked, “Would you mind returning that to me, Ms. Lane? This document holds

quite some value, you know.”

As Mia tried to retrieve it, Maya resisted, saying, “What’s the big deal? The signatures aren’t finalized

yet.”

With a raised eyebrow, Mia shot back, “Thanks for the reminder. I guess I’ll just have to take it back and

sign it for the document to be binding.

“Anyway, I can’t wait to become the first female billionaire. Rest assured, I’ll invite both of you to my

celebratory dinner.”

Mia’s intentional words felt like needles pricking at Maya’s nerves.

Given Maya’s long standing desire to marry into the Barrett family, could Timothy potentially losing his

wealth make her reconsider her decision?

Looking at the divorce papers before her, Maya was determined not to let Mia have her way.

The thought of all the Barrett family’s wealth falling into Mia’s hands was unbearable to her!

Witnessing Maya’s distressed expression, Mia forcefully took the divorce papers from her hands.

“Sorry. Ms. Lane, do you mind letting go for a second?”

In a quick move, Maya snatched the document and promptly tore it to shreds.
