Chapter 71
“Beats me. But I know she did buy a new house.”
Timothy glanced over at the furnishing pictures on his phone.
Tightening his lips, he asked, “Who told you?”
Even he was clueless about this.
Sharon let out a cough and continued. “That’s not the point. The house she bought was six million dollars! There’s no way she could’ve bought that house with her salary.
“Or she might have bought it with the money she made out of stealing stuff from our house. She might even use the illegal money she earned through us.”
Timothy instantly frowned as he retorted, “Mom, she won’t do that.”
“Tim, why have you been siding with her lately? You weren’t like this before.”
Setting his phone down on the table, Timothy stated impatiently. “Mom, I said I’ll handle this on my own. Stay
out of this.”
“I’m doing this for your sake as well, Tim. Ms. Lane was so initiative, and she even came over. Are you that
dense? You both are more on a similar level. Unless you’ve really fallen in love with Mia, why are you delaying
the divorce, then?”
Timothy rubbed his temples as he replied, “Mom, stop it. Grandma hasn’t been well lately. I’m thinking of
proceeding with the divorce after she gets her surgery done.”
Sharon was visibly upset at the mention of Laura.
“Alright. I’m just trying to remind you. Don’t be fooled by Mia when she’s pretending to back out. In fact, she’s
already moved on, and she even bought a marital house.”
Timothy remained silent.
After Sharon left, he finally took out his phone.
There was the latest text notification from Mia that read, “Mr. Barrett, which one do you prefer? Please let me know so I can order it as soon as possible.”
Staring at his phone, it finally hit him that no wonder there was a dramatic change in her attitude during yesterday’s call
