“Timothy, how could you stand up for Mia? I was so humiliated,” Shelly complained.
Timothy retracted his gaze and said coldly, “If I catch you doing this again, don’t even think of setting foot in any of the Barrett Group’s malls in the future. I’m a man of my word.”
“How can you do this to me, Timothy? I have shares in the company, too.”
“Because I’m the one calling the shots now. It’s bad enough that you don’t contribute to the company at all. There’s no way I’ll allow you to drag the company down.” With
that, Timothy turned and left.
Shelly was left behind. She stomped her foot angrily but didn’t dare to rebuke
Timothy. After storming out of the store, she called Maya. “I need to tell you
something, Maya. Mia actually got into the finals of the competition.”
“Really?” Maya had been too busy with her work to pay attention. She only checked
the list of finalists that had been sent to her through WhatsApp. Sure enough, she
saw Mia’s name on the list.
Her expression turned cold. “I didn’t expect her to be this lucky.”
Getting to the finals of the Fleur International Design Competition wasn’t easy. One
had to have some actual skill to achieve this.
“That’s not all. She was here at the mall to buy an evening gown. I wanted to teach
her a lesson, but I didn’t expect Timothy to be making his rounds today. He helped
her out and even bought the evening gown she picked out for the awards ceremony!
“Shelly said.
“What?” Maya scowled. There was no way she could allow Mia to use this
competition as a way for her to shine. It would only attract all of Timothy’s attention.
“What should we do, Maya? Mia’s pretending to back off as a way to make Timothy
see her in a different light. He’s already less biased against her.”
“Don’t worry about that. I have my ways of dealing with her,” Maya said.

As she hung up, her eyes darkened. She wouldn’t allow anyone to take Timothy
from her. He was an outstanding man, and he would belong to only her!
She looked at the list of finalists and smirked coldly. This time, she would show Mia
who was boss.
