Chapter 538

Claude stood outside, shooting Timothy a launting glance,

With a nonchalant air, he said, “From now on, Mia will have a dedicated chauffeur whenever she goes

out.

“We also have plenty of sports cars walling for her at home. She doesn’t need to ride in any other

man’s old–fashioned car.”

Claude deliberately threw shade at Timothy’s luxurious car, highlighting the new model he had

purchased that day.

Watching as Claude drove off with Mia, Timothy stood alone.

He promptly took out his phone and called Caleb, asking, “Are you available? Can you come with me to

the car dealership?”

Half an hour later, the two met outside the dealership.

Caleb looked hesitant as he spoke, “Tim, I heard a rumor recently. I’m not sure if it’s true.”

Anticipating Caleb’s words. Timothy quickly adopted a stern expression. “You might want to keep that

to

yourself.”

“Come on, Tim. Don’t be so uptight. We’re friends, right? Can’t you satisfy my curiosity a little? So, is

your ex–wife Mia really the heiress of the Lane family?”

“Yes,” Timothy replied curtly.

Caleb looked shocked. “Damn! What a dramatic twist! I always thought she was just an orphan. I never

imagined she’d become the Lane family heiress after divorcing you!

“Tim, I’m curious, how does that make you feel?”

Timothy pursed his lips coldly. “It’s good that she found her family.”

“Well, that’s not entirely inaccurate,” Caleb remarked, “but don’t you find the task of winning your wife

back significantly more challenging now?

“It’s gone from easy–peasy to downright daunting. With six brothers backing her up, they could easily

overpower you.”

Timothy gazed at the luxurious cars before him, his tone calm. “Who said I’m trying to win her back?”

“Well calling it quits might be a wise move too. There are plenty of fish in the sea, after all. Oh, and Tim.

what made you suddenly decide to switch cars?”

Timothy remained silent; he didn’t want to explain his actions. Realizing his impulsiveness. Timothy felt

a surge of frustration.

He couldn’t believe he was checking out new cars just because of Claude’s remarks. It was completely

out of character for him!

Ten minutes later, Timothy ended up trading his car for the latest high–end model, feeling even more.

vexed.

Indeed, he felt a sinister sense of rivalry!

Upon reaching campus, Mia realized she needed to concentrate on her academic exams.

After all these were tests she hadn’t taken before, and with graduation approaching, this was her final.

opportunity to make up for them.

Looking at Mia, Claude spoke up. “Mia, there’s no need for you to push yourself so hard. Remember,

you’re the heiress of our family. Dominic has even donated a building to the college.

“Do you really think the college authorities would dare to deny you your graduation certificate?”

Mia fell silent for a moment. “Claude, I don’t want people to see me as some idle rich girl. I want to stay

true to myself.

Watching Mia leave. Claude couldn’t resist messaging their family group chat. “How can Mia be so

diligent, obedient, and sensible? She’s just too adorable!”

Liam snorted and replied, “You lucked out this time. Next time, I should be the one picking up Mia!”

As Mia headed toward the library, she received a WhatsApp message from Gina. “Mia, are you free

tomorrow night?”

Mia replied with a call, saying. “I don’t have anything planned for tomorrow. What’s up?” “Taylor’s

organizing a high school reunion in Jeinburg tomorrow. Will you be going?”
