Chapter 423
Maya’s voice, filled with despair and sorrow, echoed in Mia’s ears. She, too, couldn’t believe what was
unfolding before her.
Eventually. Timothy pulled away and looked at Mia, whose expression reflected disbelief. A soft
chuckle escaped him. “I suppose this explanation was even more convincing,” he remarked.
Mia was left speechless, utterly bewildered by the turn of events.
She gazed at Timothy’s striking, intense features up close, her frustration evident as she clenched her
jaw.
In a swift motion, Mia lifted her hand to strike him, but Timothy quickly caught her wrist, his palm
radiating warmth against hers.
With a firm hold, Timothy drew Mia into his embrace, pinching her chin as he spoke in a deep voice.
Were you about to hit me?”
Mia shot back loudly. “And what if I was?”
“Well, you could have. Haven’t you heard the saying, “A married couple may quarrel, but they still sleep
in the same bed‘?” Timothy teased, releasing Mia’s hand.
His narrow eyes locked onto hers, implying some suggestive insinuation..

How dare he make such a threat!
Timothy tilted his head slightly, a smirk forming on his lips. He appeared to be in a rather jovial mood.
At that moment, feeling resentful and disregarded, Maya stepped forward with tearful eyes, confronting
Timothy, “Tim, how could you? Did Mia purposely seduce you just now?”
Maya never would have imagined that Timothy would initiate a kiss with a woman.
After all, Timothy had always remained aloof, maintaining his distance and never allowing any woman
to
become close to him.
However, the seemingly unattainable Timothy was now tenderly holding Mia’s face in his hands, gently
kissing her with a passion evident in his eyes.
Watching this unfold, Maya was consumed by jealousy.
Why did Mia deserve Timothy’s affection? After all, Maya was a wealthy and influential heiress,
renowned for her beauty and opulence. What did Mia, a lowly orphan, possess that Maya didn’t?
As Mia turned around, she noticed Maya crying pitifully, yet she couldn’t muster any sympathy, finding

the situation somewhat amusing.
Witnessing Maya’s plight brought back memories of Mia’s own past, where falling in love with a man
had
once left her shattered.
Ultimately, Mia came to the conclusion that men were not particularly remarkable.
Timothy regarded Maya apathetically, feeling slightly displeased that his kiss with Mia had been
interrupted.
Speaking with a cold demeanor, he questioned, “What brings you here?”
Mia watched in surprise as she witnessed Maya crying uncontrollably.
Maya appeared taken aback by Timothy’s harsh response, a reaction that even Mia had not
anticipated.
Maya was consumed by anger and rendered speechless. Tears streamed down her face, giving her a
somewhat pitiful appearance.
Mia couldn’t bear to look at the scene any longer. She turned away and reached for the canvas bag

Unable to contain her indignation, Maya forcefully seized Mia’s arm, demanding. “Don’t go. You better
explain clearly what’s going on.”
“Let go!” Mia exclaimed, refusing to submit to such interrogation. As they struggled, her canvas bag
snagged and fell to the ground, spilling its contents.
Among them, a thick file landed directly at Maya’s feet.
The document’s first page bore the title: “Property Settlement Agreement.”
As Mia glanced at the document, she realized she had almost forgotten about it.
She reached down to pick
it up, but Maya was faster, snatching the divorce papers before Mia could grab
them.
Maya’s face lit up with a smug smile as she held the document.
“Mia, despite your convincing acts, it seems you always end up divorced. Are you planning to use the
same tactics again, trying to seduce Timothy once more?”
