Mia was taken aback as she looked at the shredded papers, marveling at how swiftly Maya had tornthrough the thick document.

She seemed to be genuinely furious.

With the papers now reduced to fragments, Maya fixed a piercing glare on Mia. “You won’t be able tosign it now,” she stated firmly.

With Mia unable to sign the divorce document, its validity was unquestionably voided.

Mia kept her silence, directing her gaze at Timothy instead. She inquired, “What’s our next step?”

Mia understood that she couldn’t intervene directly, but she also discerned that Maya had indirectlypresented a solution. With the document torn to shreds, its legal validity was now nullified.

Seeing the hint of satisfaction in Mia’s eyes, Timothy’s smile vanished instantly. Speaking calmly, heremarked, “I have another copy.”

Mia was completely shocked by this revelation.

Meanwhile, Maya’s cries grew even louder.

Despite nearly losing her temper, Mia chose to respond with a smile upon noticing Maya’s distressed

state.

“That’s wonderful, Mr. Barrett. Just remember to bring it to me next time. I’ll print out another copy signit for you. Don’t forget, alright?”

Upon hearing Mia’s response, Maya panicked momentarily.

“Mia, where is your sense of decency? I’ve never known anyone to take everything from their spouse ina divorce. Who do you think you are to leave Timothy with nothing?”

Mia raised an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on Maya. “That’s just how it is. Timothy feels indebted to me, sohe has decided to transfer all his assets to my possession.

“He’s concerned about how I’ll manage on my own after our divorce,” Mia commented with a touch of

irony.

Observing the jealousy in Maya’s eyes, Mia couldn’t resist teasing, “Oh, Maya, didn’t you once mentionhow much you liked Timothy?

“Well, now that he’s on the verge of becoming a pauper, that shouldn’t bother you, right?”

Maya was caught off guard.

Who would want to marry someone destitute?

Indeed, Maya had tirelessly strived to leave behind her orphan status, eventually securing her positionas the heiress of the Lane family.

Her long–standing goal was to marry into an esteemed family and achieve the status of a wealthy andinfluential young lady.

Nonetheless, Maya was not about to reveal her true feelings. She swiftly countered, “Certainly, itwouldn’t bother me. But what entitles you to take such a large sum of money?”

“Because Timothy is willing. Do you have any say in the matter?” With those words, Mia swiftly walked

off the stage.

Growing anxious, Maya turned to Timothy, questioning. “Are you honestly going to walk away withnothing and transfer all your assets to Mia?”

Maya still couldn’t wrap her head around it!

How could a man act in such a manner? Particularly Timothy, who came from a wealthy lineage andpossessed numerous assets. After all, he didn’t exactly build everything from the ground up with Mia.

Simply providing her with some money would have been enough; there was no need to give her all his

assets!

With a composed demeanor, Timothy glanced

asserted firmly.

Over at Maya. “That is my business, not yours,” he

“Tim, please don’t misconstrue my intentions. I’m saying this out of concern for your well–being. If wordspreads that all your shares are going to Mia, it will undoubtedly impact the Barrett Group’s stock price.

“Besides, you could simply offer her some cash and perhaps one of your many properties: given Mia’sbackground as an orphan, she’ll never be able to exhaust all that wealth in her lifetime.

“Is there really a necessity to hand over all your assets to her?”

Timothy chose not to respond to Maya’s question. Instead, he turned away and left the stage.

Now, only Maya remained. As she gazed at the torn papers on the ground, her expression turned bitter.

Regardless, Maya was determined not to let Mia have her way.

After regaining her composure, Maya took out her phone and made a call.

“Hello, Mrs. Barrett? I hope I’m not disturbing you. Do you remember my recent trip to Nord City? Ipicked up some beauty and skincare supplements especially for you. I’ll drop them off for you later.”
