NovelEnglishChapter 785 Mia couldn’t deny Timothy's astuteness. She countered, “Do you really think I'd allow Ginger to accompany me?” “Mia, do you seriously not trust me? Despite knowing your true identity for a while now, I've still kept my promise about donating my bone marrow to Ginger.
“But what about you? Are you planning to take Ginger and run as soon as you get what you need from me?** Timothy had never been manipulated by a woman before, but it appeared that Mia was testing his boundaries.
Mia's lips curved into a smirk. “Mr. Barrett, since you're already aware, could you please step aside,” she demanded.
With a swift motion, Timothy reached out and firmly grabbed her wrist. “Do you think you can simply walk away now?” “Timothy, why aren't you lettinggo? Could it be that you've actually developed feelings for me?” Mia retorted, her demeanor composed as she regarded him as though he were a stranger.

An eerie silence filled the air.
Timothy maintained his firm grip on her hand, a subtle warmth radiating from his palm. He appeared slightly awkward as he spoke, “Mia, don’t overthink it.” “Okay, that’s a relief. I'm glad to know it’s not because you've fallen in love with me.” With a forceful tug, Mia reclaimed her hand, shooting a cold glance in Timothy's direction. Dominic is expectingfor dinner. Farewell, Mr. Barrett. Until our paths cross again!” With that, she turned on her heel and strode briskly toward the waiting helicopter, displaying no hint of sentimentality.
However, upon boarding the aircraft, Mia discovered that the pilot and bodyguard had been detained.
As she stood there, Timothy's footsteps drew near from behind. “I've warned you. This time, you can’t just walk away as you please.” Nonetheless, Mia didn’t flinch. Turning to meet his gaze squarely, she countered, “Mr.
1/3 Barrett, do you still think ofas that svulnerable woman you could just manipulate?” She continued, “Letremind you that | am now the heiress of the esteemed Lane family in Nord City. If you dare to detainhere, rest assured, my brothers will not hesitate to ctomorrow and turn the Barrett family upside down!” “Of course, | believe you. Your brothers have done an impressive job of keeping you hidden over the years. They even managed to deceive me,” Timothy said.
“Timothy, we went through a divorce, remember? So, why are you now insisting on keeping I can’t be here? If the thought of us being apart because you love me, just say so. It might earn you more respect from me!” Timothy felt his anger surge, his blood pressure spiking noticeably. Even after many years apart, it appeared that Mia's talent for provoking him remained unchanged.
“What about Ginger?” Timothy demanded.
“This is between us. Why drag Ginger into it?” “But Ginger is my daughter too. Don’t | deserve to know?” Mia's hand clenched slowly. “When did | ever claim that Ginger is your daughter?” “This matter can be resolved easily. We just need to do a DNA test using both Ginger’s blood and mine to see if she’s my biological daughter.” Mia's demeanor hardened as she retorted, “Timothy, Ginger belongs to me. She has no ties to the Barrett family whatsoever.” “If it weren't for my sperm, do you think you could have brought such a lovely daughter into this world by yourself?” Timothy's audacity seemed to have no limits.
Mia scoffed, saying, “Ginger has left Bern City, flown away on the private jet | arranged. Even if you try to chase her, you wouldn't be able to catch up.

“Fine, if | can’t catch her, then I'll pursue you instead!” With a smirk, Mia retorted, “Oh, Mr. Barrett, it seems you still have feelings for me, don’t you?” }
Timothy pursed his lips in response.
“Ginger doesn't belong exclusively to you. As her father , it's my responsibility to be there for her, especially when she’s unwell.” “Are you trying to contest custody with me?”
BONUS With a narrowed gaze, Timothy replied, “I hadn't intended to, but if you continue to hide with Ginger, I'll be forced to fight for custody.”
“Timothy, you speak boldly, but are you aware of who my brother is? He's a prominent lawyer in Nord City. Do you truly believe you can snatch Ginger away from the Lane family so easily? Only in your wildest dreams.” Mia had never been concerned about custody issues before.
Timothy's expression soured as he said, “Mia, this time, Ginger came to Nord City to find her dad. Can you dally bear to let her go without a father figure in her life?”
