"You don't know anything," Sharon said.
Mia retorted, "I might not know everything, but Timothy is innocent. Before he knew the truth, he always regarded you as his mother. Even after he found out the truth, he has never mistreated you.
"Besides, when you said you wanted the Barrett family's wealth, he agreed. Tell me, who else could do what he did?"
Mia felt that Timothy might have been hurt by Sharon's words.
He seemed impressive on the outside, but his identity was a dark secret.
Therefore, his relationship with Sharon became awkward.
Sharon's eyes reddened. "But I also treat him like my biological son."
"You're also his foster mother. Now everyone related to him is dead, and you're the only one he has. What are you afraid of?"
Sharon wiped off her tears. "I'm not afraid of anything. It's just that I felt that I can't trust anyone."
"Timothy is a man of his word. However, Grandma Laura said that if you remain stubborn, making the will public is her only option," Mia said.
Immediately, Sharon tore the will into pieces.
Mia's expression remained calm. "The documents in your hands are photocopies. I didn't bring the originals. Do you think I'm that stupid?"
Sharon said furiously, "Mia, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"
"You can think whatever you want. You can have all the money you want, but there's no way you can have Barrett Group's shares. I've said what I needed to say, and you can weigh the consequences yourself."
After saying that, Mia left the cafe.
It was the best for Sharon to take money. If she held the shares, the Hopkins would take everything from her, leaving nothing behind at all.
It was too bad that Sharon did not understand that.
As long as Timothy was around, the Hopkins would not dare to cross the line.
