Chapter 324
Beneath Timothy’s usual noble and aloof demeanor, there hid a surprising array of tricks up his sleeve.
Looking at Mia, Timothy’s tone turned cold as he uttered, “Mia, you can shut up now.”
Any other woman might have blushed and fallen silent upon hearing those words, but not Mia.
Shamelessly, she argued back, her face visibly agitated.
Indeed, Timothy had never encountered a lady with such a robust and assertive personality like Mia!
Feeling upset, Mia muttered, “You initiated the argument. With a clear conscience, one sees
things in a positive and pure light. If your mindset is tainted, everything you perceive becomes tainted
too!”
Timothy was taken aback by her response.
The discussion came to an abrupt halt.
Timothy remained silent as Mia lowered her head, attempting to regain her composure.
It was all Timothy’s fault; his words had provoked an unintended reaction from Mia.
The atmosphere between them grew increasingly awkward.
Mia gazed up at the ceiling, sensing the uncomfortable silence. She pressed on, “By the way, you still
haven’t answered my question.”
Why was Mia shamelessly persisting for an answer?
Timothy remained fixated on his laptop, appearing somewhat distracted.
Upon hearing Mia’s inquiry, Timothy’s throat tightened. “Aren’t you aware of the reason?”
“What? Am I supposed to know?”
Mia found the situation increasingly perplexing. She stared at Timothy, attempting to decipher the
meaning behind his gaze.
In response, Timothy countered, “You seem quite concerned about why I ended my engagement with
Maya.”
Mia’s gaze intensified with frustration. Abruptly, she averted her eyes. “No, it was just a casual

“Why are you so interested to know?”
Mia exhaled deeply. “I want to understand the reason so I can tease Maya. It’s a perfect
opportunity. I can’t let it pass.”
Timothy was caught off guard.
Well, it seemed like Timothy had misconstrued Mia’s intentions.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Timothy shifted his attention to the document lying nearby.
“You shouldn’t hold onto this document. It’s better to keep it confidential to avoid impacting the
Barrett Group’s stock price. After all, the successor issue is a significant matter.”
“I anticipated you’d say that, but this document is just a piece of paper. We don’t have a child,
after all.”
Mia continued calmly, “Besides, our main focus has been ensuring Grandma Laura’s surgery
proceeds smoothly.
“Regardless of the decisions made during this period, I won’t dwell on them, and I won’t take them
seriously.”
Timothy nodded, taking a moment to gather his thoughts before acknowledging, “You’ve undergone
quite a transformation during this period.”
Having witnessed Mia’s true character, Timothy found himself reevaluating his preconceived
notions about her. She was not the person he had initially perceived her to be.
Mia responded nonchalantly, “I’ve decided to resign soon, so it doesn’t matter who you choose to
love.”
Upon hearing this, Timothy couldn’t help but frown. “Mia, can’t you take things seriously for once?”
“Sure, but this is simply the way I express myself. If you’re looking for something pleasant to hear,
it comes with an additional cost,” Mia quipped.
Timothy smirked. “Alright, how much are we talking about here?”novelbin
Mia replied casually, “Not much, let’s say a hundred dollars per word.”
She had no intention of prolonging the conversation.
Timothy’s deep voice unexpectedly interjected, “Should I transfer it to your bank or through
Venmo?”

Mia looked at Timothy in surprise. She had intended it as a light–hearted jest, but his response left her
utterly taken aback.
Was he taking her joke seriously?
Mia seemed to be gradually loosening up, while Timothy, on the other hand, was revealing a touch
of shamelessness.
Timothy reached for his phone, seemingly about to transfer the money to her.
Mia couldn’t help but blurt out, “Are you that eager to be sweet–talked by me?”
