Mia noticed Sharon's expression changing slightly when she mentioned Laura.
Sharon took her cup of coffee and said, "What? Does Mrs. Barrett Senior still want to lecture me even when she's on her deathbed? She must have known Timothy's identity all along, but she conspired with her son to keep the truth from me.
"She and the Barretts are birds of a feather. What else does she have to say?"
Mia was not surprised by her words. She had expected that Sharon would certainly think this way.
Fortunately, she managed to stop Laura when she said she wanted to meet Sharon.
Sharon was emotionally unstable now. What if Laura said something unpleasant and Sharon retorted? Her words might upset Laura.
Mia took a kraft envelope out of her handbag and placed it in front of Sharon. "I hope you won't regret saying those words after reading this."
"What's this?"
"This is the will that your husband left behind, as well as the divorce agreement."
Hearing that, Sharon quickly took the document out of the envelope. When she read the content, she was so indignant that her face turned pale.
"What a bastard! How could he treat me this way? I'm his wife! How could he give everything to his mistress and her son?"
Looking at Sharon's expression, Mia was not surprised by her reaction at all.
She added, "He made a will right after he brought Timothy home. If Grandma Laura did not stop him, do you think you could still be Mrs. Barrett without any worry?"
As Sharon stared at the two documents before her. She seemed to have aged in an instant.
After some time, Sharon finally spoke. "So what?"
