Chapter 707

Shelly's eyes gleamed with anticipation. She knew Mia would surely ask her about the Barrett family's preferences.

Considering Mia's desire to wed into the Barrett family, earning Sharon's approval was undoubtedly important.

Without hesitation, Shelly replied, "Monalize, you have nothing to worry about. With your captivating beauty, remarkable family background, and your generous nature, Aunt Sharon is sure to take a liking to you."

After all, Sharon had always shown a preference for daughters from affluent families as potential daughters-in-law.

As long as there was a match in social status, there shouldn't be any significant obstacles.

A hint of sarcasm flickered in Mia's eyes. It seemed her ex-mother-in-law was also somewhat superficial. Well, that at least made her easier to handle.

Mia continued, "But with Luna in the equation, I still have some reservations. After all, she has been by Mr. Barrett's side for so many years."

"Hey, Monalize, didn't I mention before? Tim has no interest in Luna whatsoever, and as for Aunt Sharon, Luna's background doesn't meet her standards. If it weren't for Luna having a son, she wouldn't even..."

Shelly was on the brink of spilling some gossip but suddenly stopped, appearing somewhat uneasy.

Mia glanced over at Shelly, prodding for more information. "Shelly, but Luna's child belongs to Mr. Barrett, right?"

"Well, not exactly..." Shelly began, but before she could continue, Sharon's voice echoed from outside the private lounge, "Shelly, are you having coffee without me?"

At that moment, Sharon entered the room with Veronica, both holding designer handbags and emanating an aura of superiority.

However, upon spotting Mia, Sharon's demeanor shifted instantly, and she exclaimed, "Mia?"

On her way over, Sharon initially brushed off Luna's claims as an exaggeration—how could someone look so much like Mia without having undergone plastic surgery?

But to Sharon's surprise, she found herself facing someone who bore a striking resemblance to Mia.

Had Sharon not known that Mia was already dead, she might have almost believed it was her.

Upon hearing Sharon’s voice, Mia’s eyes twinkled with a hint of amusement. She deliberately glanced at Shelly and asked, “Shelly, who is this?”

Despite instantly recognizing Sharon as Timothy’s mother, Mia had to pretend she didn’t know her.

“Monalize, this is Tim’s mother, Mrs. Barrett. Aunt Sharon, we were just

discussing you earlier, and now you’re here. What a coincidence! Please, feel free to join us.”

A glimmer of suspicion flashed in Sharon’s eyes as she looked at the woman in front of her, who bore a remarkable resemblance to Mia. “What were you saying about me?” she asked.

“Monalize was just curious about your preferences, Aunt Sharon. Allow me to introduce you. This is Ms. Monalize Langford, Tim’s girlfriend.”

Mia confidently locked eyes with Sharon, her lips forming a slight smile. “Mrs. Barrett, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Please, just call me Monalize.”

Sharon’s scrutiny deepened as she observed the striking resemblance between the woman before her and Mia. Skepticism creased her brow.

“Mia, what mischief are you up to now?” Sharon said directly.

Mia chuckled softly. “Mrs. Barrett, you seem to be mistaken. I am not Mr. Barrett’s former wife.” Contents belong

with significant distinctions between them,” Shelly quickly clarified.

After all, Mia wasn’t as generous and casygoing as Monalize.

Nonetheless, Sharon still struggled to accept it. Seeing Monalize’s face felt like witnessing Mia’s resurrection, sending shivers down Sharon’s spine.

Sharon’s expression turned cold. “Shelly, take a look at what you’ve posted on your social media. How could you refer to her as your ‘future cousin–in–law‘?

“Their relationship had only just begun; you shouldn’t use such terms lightly. Given Tim’s status, any rumors could harm his reputation,” Sharon warned.
