Connor pursed his lips and said, “I just don’t want to do it.”

Then, he ended the call abruptly, leaving Maya completely stunned.

Unwilling to accept Connor’s decision, Maya attempted to make another call, but Connor would notpick it up.

She slammed her phone into her seat angrily. “Why won’t Connor agree to perform the surgery? I justdon’t

understand what he is thinking!”

Maya’s assistant, who was driving, said, “Ms. Lane, I believe that your brother is still angry about what

happened three years ago. He’s doing this for your own good.”

Maya gradually calmed down and said, “Is that so? Then everything makes sense. My brothers didn’tharbor

such hostility toward Timothy before. However, since the incident from three years ago, they’ve takento

dislike the Barrett family. It must be because they care for me.”

“That’s right, Ms. Lane. You’re their only sister. No one’s more important than you.”

When Maya heard these flattering words, her expression softened. “You’re right. Connor must haverefused to

perform the surgery for Grandma Laura because of me. I’ll replace a way to persuade him!”

“Ms. Lane, I think you should mention this matter to Mrs. Barrett and not Mrs. Barrett Senior. I’m surethe

Barrett family will be on your side, and Mr. Barrett would surely agree to get engaged with you.”

“That’s a good idea.”

Maya picked up her phone again, adjusted her tone, and called Sharon. She wouldn’t let Timothy fallinto the

hands of another woman!

When Timothy returned home in the evening, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa. His wedding photowith Mia had been taken down and casually placed on the floor.

Timothy frowned and asked, “Mom, what’s this for?”

“This photograph shouldn’t be in your home. Timothy, I’m here to discuss your grandma’s surgery.Maya told me everything. You’ve always been a filial grandson. Why won’t you make the right decisionat this critical

time?”

Sharon was furious. She said, “Timothy, divorce Mia immediately and get engaged to Maya. After that,her brother will agree to perform surgery on your grandmother. It’s killing two birds with one stone!”

Timothy sat on the sofa with a tired look. “Mom, Grandma is not easy to be fooled. If she found out thatI divorced Mia, she wouldn’t agree to undergo surgery.”

“Then don’t let your grandmother know about your divorce. She’s an old woman. As long as you and Idon’t say anything, she’ll never know about it.

“However, Mia might spill the beans. I never knew she was such a cunning person. How dare shethreaten you

“Mom, she’s not that kind of person.”

Timothy knew Mia would not do such a thing because she messaged him a few days ago to arrange fora proper divorce.

“Stop standing up for her. How can you endure the fact that she has a relationship with another man?You should get a divorce quickly so we don’t have to live with her anymore.”

“Mom, I’ll handle my own affairs.”

“But your grandmother can’t wait for you to take your sweet time! Think about what I said seriously.”

Sharon stood up and said to Holly, “Dispose of this photo immediately.”

Holly intentionally slowed down her movements and waited until Sharon left. Then, she looked atTimothy and asked, “Mr. Barrett, do you want to throw it away?”

Timothy looked at the photo on the ground and said, “Put it in the basement.”

He took out his phone and made a video call to his grandmother.

Laura answered his phone call immediately. She was sitting in a rocking chair. “Timothy, what’s goingon between you and Mia?”

Timothy was stunned to hear that.
