Chapter 823

Mia gazed at Timothy's stern expression and poked his chest. "Mr. Barrett, to be frank, the words I've

said aren't exclusive to you.

"At this point, it's possible that I've accumulated enough ex-boyfriends to populate the entire Nord City.

If I'm to be held accountable for each one, Mr. Barrett, you'll simply have to wait your turn.”

"Mia Bowen!"

"Sorry, I go by Mia Lane now, thank you very much,” Mia retorted, standing up and adjusting her

clothes.

"Mr. Barrett, I've been very clear. If you're having trouble understanding, please take a moment to sit

and contemplate. Perhaps our paths will cross again someday.”

With that, Mia walked away without looking back, heading straight for the plane's exit.

Shortly after Mia left, a flight attendant approached Timothy and said, "Sir, don't feel too bad. After all,

Ms. Lane isn't the type of woman just any man can win over."

Timothy's expression instantly hardened, and he stepped forward, ready to strike. "Watch your words.

Are you interested in her as well?" As Mia descended the stairs, she realized Timothy hadn't followed

her, prompting a sigh of relief from her.

After all, she was carrying the bone marrow that Timothy had donated, a crucial element for saving

Sage's life.

If Timothy had left the plane with her and her brothers had seen them together, Timothy would surely

have faced a tough situation. Nonetheless, Mia decided to cut Timothy some slack, considering she

was carrying his bone marrow in her hands.

As Mia disembarked from the plane, she smiled and called out, "Hello Connor, and hey Claude!"

Connor stepped forward and gently took the bone marrow from her. "Hey Mia, it sounds like you've had

quite the journey."

“I'm fine. Luckily, everything went smoothly, and I was able to retrieve the bone marrow."

Claude approached her and asked, "Did Timothy cause any trouble when you were looking for the

bone marrow in Bern City? I heard his family tried to hide it. Is that true? I've always said the Barretts

were up to no good.”

Connor looked at her and asked, "Did Timothy hide the bone marrow intentionally to threaten you?"

Lowering her gaze, Mia replied, "There were some complications along the way, but Timothy wasn't

involved. He didn't hide the bone marrow.” After all, Timothy wasn't responsible for the bone marrow

going missing, and he shouldn't be wrongly accused.

"Mia, don't worry. Even if Timothy did plan to use the bone marrow as leverage against you, we're not

intimidated.

"Dominic has made it clear—if Timothy doesn't comply, we'll go to Bern City ourselves. We'll even

resort to coercing Timothy to donate his blood if necessary.”

Mia smiled and replied, "Now that we have the bone marrow in our hands, let's not waste any time.

Sage is waiting for us."

She wanted to leave this place quickly with her brothers to avoid any unexpected situations.

"Wait up."

As Mia was about to enter the car, she heard Timothy's familiar voice from behind.

Her expression stiffened instantly. Didn't she tell him to wait inside the plane until they left? Why did

Timothy come out at this moment?

Was he out of his mind?

A surge of apprehension flooded Mia. Turning around, she saw Timothy descending the plane's ramp.

In that instant, Mia could feel hostility radiating from her two brothers. Upon spotting Timothy, Connor's

demeanor shifted, his expression turning steely. "Mia, I'm surprised you're here with him."

Claude moved beside her, obstructing her way. "Mia, is he planning to use his bone marrow as

leverage against you? Don't worry. Remember, we're in Nord City, not Timothy's territory."
