Chapter 766
“Alright then, let’s have dinner together this evening,” Mla sald, glancing at Timothy with a nuanced expression. “Remember not to overwork yourself. Pursuing wealth endlessly isn’t the answer, after all.”
Timothy squinted slightly, a playful tone in his voice as he said, “Are you actually concerned about me?”
“Don’t you like being cared for, Mr. Barrett?”
Despite this, Mia found herself increasingly frustrated. She knew that if Timothy worked overtime, it could potentially delay the bone marrow donation.
In truth, Mia couldn’t care less about her contemptible ex–husband’s well–being!
She believed that investing emotional energy in men only led to disappointment.
After leaving the restaurant and getting into the car, Heath began to brief Timothy on their work progress. “Mr. Barrett, the folks over at Aide Castle have responded, stating they will consider the collaboration.
“We’ve sent over the proposal, but they’ve mentioned that a decision will only be made after their boss reviews it.”
Upon hearing this, Mia felt a sense of contentment. She knew she’d have to wait until she returned to the hospital to review the proposal from the Barrett family.
Massaging his temples, Timothy murmured, “Have they uncovered the
mastermind behind Aide Castle?”
Mia blinked nervously, feeling slightly taken aback. Were they truly delving into the identity of the boss for this collaboration?
At that moment, she was a bit flustered.
Considering Timothy had already uncovered Mia’s disguise during her visit to Patricia, she certainly didn’t dare to underestimate his capabilities. She felt anxious about the possibility of her identity being exposed.
Heath spoke up, “We haven’t discovered that yet, but we know the Lane Group is
responsible for constructing Aide Castle.”
“The Lane Group?”
Timothy’s eyes widened as he glanced at Mia.
Mia maintained an innocent demeanor. “Yes, the Lane Group. I’m quite familiar with them. They’re renowned in Nord City, with a global presence in real estate and an excellent reputation.
“It’s only natural for Aide Castle, coming from Nord City, to collaborate with such a reputable developer.”
And, of course, thanks to Dominic’s exceptional skills as well!
Timothy murmured, “You seem quite knowledgeable.”
Mia responded with a chuckle. “Just a bit. After all, I’m also from Nord City.”
“In that case, do you happen to know the boss behind Aide Castle?”
“I’m not acquainted with them personally, but I’ve heard they’re quite mysterious.”
Mia certainly couldn’t afford to recklessly expose her disguise. Over the years, she had meticulously concealed her identity to avoid being discovered by Timothy. That was precisely why she relied on others to act on her behalf.
Seeing that Timothy didn’t press further, Mia let out a sigh of relief.
Upon her return to the hospital, Mia swiftly retrieved her phone and reviewed the proposal from the Barrett Group. It appeared promising.
However, she still had an important matter to deal with.
Earlier, Timothy had proposed that Ginger undergo treatment at the hospital. Reluctantly, Mia had consented, albeit temporarily, to avoid arousing suspicion.
Now, Mia grappled with the question of what to do next.
Did she really have to bring Sage to Bern City?
After careful consideration, Mia returned to the ward and had a conversation with Ginger regarding the situation. “Ginger, Mommy needs your cooperation
