Chapter 143

Timothy dropped the bombshell and left.

Maya's face fell. She followed him in haste. "Timothy, hear me out! Connor has agreed to perform the surgery. He just doesn't have the time!

"We've also decided on the date for our engagement ceremony. If you call it off, he'll misunderstand the situation again!"

He looked down at her icily. "Maya Lane, the engagement was only a deal to begin with. It's not real. I hope you can keep that in mind."

"I know." She could barely keep a calm expression at his words.

"Very well. Since Connor isn't sincere about doing the surgery, I think there's no need to continue with the deal. It's over now." He flung her hand away and walked away ever so indifferently.

Maya stood over there with red eyes. She had worked so hard for it, but her effort went down the drain!

Shelly came over. "Don't cry, Ms. Lane."

"Shelly, Timothy actually has feelings for Mia. He said he wanted to call off the engagement!"

"What? How could he fall for a gold-digger? There has to be a misunderstanding. Don't worry, Ms. Lane. I'll teach her a lesson in your stead. I'll make sure she stays out of our sight, including Timothy's!"

Maya hung her head low. Sorrow descended upon her features, but there was something more in her gaze.

Something dark...

...

Mia and Liam were on their way home from the auction.

Sitting in the passenger seat, she removed the necklace. "Liam, this is too expensive. I can't accept it."

It was a necklace worth 12 million dollars!

"It's fine, just accept it. That actor is swimming in cash anyway. Even if they release an article about it, they'll claim that he donated 12 million dollars for charity," he responded nonchalantly.

"Will he do something when he replaces out that you took the necklace?"

"No. We're close. It's just a necklace. It's no big deal."

Mia sensed that something was off, but she couldn't put a finger on it.

Once she arrived home, she didn't know where to put that expensive necklace. There was no place to keep it that would give her peace of mind.

Meanwhile, Liam lay on the couch in the living room, texting in "One Big Happy Family".

"Spent 12 million today to buy Mia a diamond necklace."

"How can a necklace from that auction be worth that much?" Dominic was doubting it.

Liam recounted his battle with Timothy.

Connor joined in. "Great job! Serve that divorced Barrett guy right for having his eyes on Mia! We should nip his intention in the bud."

Dominic gave a thumbs up. "Agreed."

On the other side, Eva looked at Dominic. "That divorced Barrett guy ... Are you guys referring to the man who likes Mia? That last name sounds familiar."

"Yeah, it's him." His phone rang. It was Maya calling.

Eva took a glimpse at it. "Answer it. It must be about Timothy."

He let out a cough before picking it up. "Hello?"

"Dominic, did you and Eva ate yet?"

"Yeah. What's the matter?"

Maya took a deep breath. "Dominic, I have a favor to ask of you.

"Didn't you promise that you'd treat me as your younger sister if I looked after Grandma? And that you'll always support me after I marry someone?"

He fell silent for a second. "Yes."
