Chapter 191
Mia couldn’t help but chuckle at Sharon’s surprised expression.
Truth be told, Timothy had only used that claim to brush off Mia’s adoptive parents, who had showed up looking for cash.
Mia didn’t expect him to turn it into a retort against Sharon, without any hint of respect.
His gaze was shifted to Mia the next second, causing a hitch in her breath.
She thought it was weird of him to look at her since she wasn’t the one who said that.
Timothy questioned her coldly, “Why did you transfer 100 thousand dollars to me?”
Mia was taken aback by his question. “I was repaying your mother. Since I didn’t have her contact, I
transferred it to you. Please help me transfer it to your mother.”
He glanced at Sharon. “What happened?”
“Tim, Mia’s adoptive parents came seeking money. I gave them 100 thousand dollars to get rid of them. It’s
not that much anyways,” Sharon answered nonchalantly.
His brows furrowed. “You shouldn’t have done that.”
He knew that Mia’s adoptive parents were opportunistic. To put it bluntly, they were “human leeches“. If they
succeeded once, they would keep coming back for more.
“Tim, I know you think it’s not worth it. Just consider it a good riddance,” Sharon tried to convince him.
He pursed his lips, not uttering a word. He didn’t say it wasn’t worth the purpose, it was just a mistake to give them money in the first place!
Mia sneered, “If there’s nothing else, I should get going. If they come again, don’t let them in.”
She left without looking back.
It was dark outside. Public transport wasn’t available in the neighborhood, and hailing a cab was impossible.
Soon, a luxury car pulled up beside her. The driver rolled down the window. “I’ll drive you home, Mrs. Barrett.”
“There’s no need for that,” She hesitated before answering.
The driver insisted, “You won’t find a cab here, Mrs. Barrett. Let me take you home. I have to bring Mr. Barrett
something anyway.”
Mia walked for a while before realizing that getting a cab was futile. In the end, she reluctantly got into the car.
Between safety and pride, safety prevailed.
An awkward atmosphere hung in the air as she glanced at the driver. “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.”

He glimpsed at Mia from the rearview mirror. A sigh of relief escaped his lips.
If he had failed his mission to pick Mia up, he wouldn’t know how to convey the news to his boss.
