Chapter 78
Timothy was speechless.
Mia hurried up to help Laura out of the mansion, whereas Sharon slowed her pace. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
She glanced over at the wedding photo on the living room wall and couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
“Tim, didn’t you kick her out?”
“Mom, we’re just putting on an act.”
“I have to inform Ms. Lane about asking her brother to perform surgery on your grandma as soon as possible.
Otherwise, there won’t be an end to such chaos.”
Timothy didn’t budge. Instead, he turned around and glanced over at the wedding photo. He felt somewhat
complicated.
When Mia returned to the hall to send Sharon off, she also glanced at the wedding photo.
As Timothy approached her, he said, “I hope you perform your role well before Grandma has her surgery.”
“I will. Since Grandma went back, can I go back now?”
Timothy frowned as he asked, “Why are you in a hurry to go back? Is there anyone who’s waiting for you?”
“Of course it’s someone important,” Mia replied.
Patricia had been waiting for her.
As Mia glanced at Holly, she ordered, “Please put my bag in the walk-in closet so I won’t have to bring any
clothes the next time I come over.”
Just as she turned around, she heard Timothy chiming in. “The men in the entertainment industry aren’t reliable at all. You better watch out for scammers.”
There he went again. He probably misunderstood her relationship with Liam.
With a nonchalant expression, Mia replied airily. “Rest assured. His looks are to die for.”
Timothy sat on the couch sulkily as he watched her go. He felt incredibly flustered when he remembered the
previous trending topic.
The next day. Mia went to the studio as usual.
To her surprise, she found Wilhelmina absent. She thought she would be meeting her today.
After a while, the receptionist called her and said, “Someone’s here to see you.”
When Mia arrived at the meeting room, she saw Maya.
She sighed and said, “What’s with you guys? You people just won’t stop coming at me.”

“You’ve misunderstood me. I’m not here because of the house renovation.”
“Then what are you doing here?”
“You should be aware that Grandma Laura hasn’t been well lately. She had been waiting for the surgery to improve her heart condition. However, my brother is the only one who can perform the surgery. Furteros he’s the only one who can ensure the success of the surgery.”
With an indifferent expression, Mia asked, “What are you trying to say?”
“Nothing much. I’ve been persuading him to perform the surgery, but there’s one thing that’s putting him off. He’s not happy with how things are going between Timothy and me. After all, you’re still married to Timothy.
and he doesn’t want me to become the topic of the town.
“If you can take the initiative to divorce Timothy, my brother will be more than glad to perform the surgery on
Grandma Laura as soon as possible. Thus, she won’t have to suffer any longer, too.”
“Maya, are you threatening me with Grandma Laura?”
Mia didn’t expect her to say such things. Wasn’t she in love with Timothy? Was she not aware of how
important Laura was to Timothy?
Maya was unfazed as she replied, “I’m not threatening you. I’m doing this for Grandma Laura’s sake. She has been refusing to proceed with surgery because of you. Hence, her condition has been getting worse. Do you
not feel bad at all?
“You’re a smart one, Mia. You know what to do.”
Staring at her, Mia asked, “If I proceed with the divorce, you’ll get your brother to perform the surgery on
Grandma, right?”
“Of course. He’s my brother. He’s willing to do anything for me.”
