Chapter 792

A secretary confronted Mia. “Miss, are you looking for Mr. Barrett? He’s in a meeting at the moment.”

Staff from the secretarial department were smart. He could tell that the woman looked a lot like

Timothy’s ex–wife.

During the past few years, many women have attempted to make Timothy owe them a favor in order to

become Mrs. Barrett. However, none of those women have fared well in the end.

Not buying that, Mia marched forward and swung open the door to the presidential office.

Just as she had expected, Timothy was sitting right there. There were a few managerial–level

employees on the couch too.

It seemed like a meeting was ongoing.

Silence filled the air.

She flared up at Timothy. “Very well, Timothy Barrett. I didn’t know you could be such a jerk!”

Others in the room drew in sharp breaths. Where did this woman come from?

Why did she kick open the door and reproach Timothy?

One of them thought, “She’s dead meat. Mr. Barrett is not the type who gives women the leeway.”

Timothy calmly responded, “What did I do?”

“How dare you lay a finger on the bone marrow? Do you call yourself a man? That’s the key to saving

my child! Your child too! Not even a beast would devour their offspring. I guess you stoop much lower

than a beast,” Mia jabbered on.

The people who heard that were taken aback as they shared the same thought-“Who is she? She’s

feisty!”

Still, Timothy appeared rather calm. He instructed the others, “Give us a moment and close

the door.”

The managerial employees were stunned. Timothy wasn’t driving her out, but them? Has the world

turned upside down?

Timothy stood up and walked to her. “I didn’t expect you to come all the way to Barrett Group

to see me.”

Next, she raised her hand and slapped him right across the cheek.

“Are you surprised?” Her voice was monotonous.

The managerial employees, who hadn’t left the office, were shocked.

Quickly, they lowered their heads and left the office, pretending to not see anything.

What if they were fired because they witnessed or heard something that they shouldn’t? That wouldn’t

be good!

Their questions were left hanging–who was that daring woman?

To think that she dared to slap Timothy. Unbelievable!

Now, Timothy and Mia were alone.

His face remained emotionless as he caressed his cheek. “Mia Bowen, do you think I won’t do anything

to you? You’ve slapped me again and again.”

There was a limit to his patience.

Mia’s eyes were welling up, and her hands were trembling. “Timothy Barrett, I know that you’re angry

because I lied to you. Let’s make a deal.”

Dubious, he couldn’t follow her. “What deal?”

“Your grandmother still needs a cluster of reishi mushrooms to recover, and I have exactly what you

need.”

Timothy’s expression turned serious upon hearing that. “What do you want from me in exchange?”

“What else? Stop pretending already!”

“Don’t beat around the bush.”

She arched her brows. “Of course it’s your bone marrow. Give it back to me.”
