Chapter 58
“Grandma!” Mia cut Mildred off as soon as Mildred brought up borrowing money. She looked away, too
embarrassed to meet Timothy’s eyes.
Despite being rejected many times, Mildred was still shameless enough to ask for money.
“Grandma? You never saw me as your grandmother. It’s your younger brother we’re talking about, and we shouldn’t leave him high and dry.” Mildred then turned to Timothy. “Will you help us, Timothy?”
Mary nodded enthusiastically on the side too. Timothy was rich, which meant that she could live comfortably
in the future.
Timothy could lend them money so that they could purchase a house. Then, he could buy them a car. He might even be able to find everyone a high-paying job!
Mia’s breath hitched. She had already agreed to divorce Timothy. If he lent her parents money, she would be no different from a gold digger.
Mia looked at Mary and Mildred before speaking,
“You heard it loud and clear just now. I wear the pants in this household. I have the final say, and his words won’t count.”
Mary doubted Mia’s words. “I call bullshit. Timothy is rich. The one in charge of everything is definitely him, not you. Right, Timothy?”
Mia pursed her lips and looked at Timothy anxiously, expecting the latter to say no. She prayed that Timothy caught the hint from what she had said earlier.
Timothy tidied his sleeves and ordered, “Come here.” Mia was puzzled by the instruction, but she walked toward Timothy nonetheless to see what he was trying to do.
As soon as she approached the man, Timothy grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her into his arms.
Mia stiffened. She gazed at Timothy wide-eyed.
Timothy then lifted his head to address the two greedy women on the couch. “I am rich, yes.”
Mildred and Mary exchanged glances and grinned, celebrating their impending victory.
But the next moment, Timothy added, “But I give all my money to Mia. Mia gets to decide how to spend it.”
His masculine voice echoed in Mia’s mind. They were so close to each other. Her nose could pick up the faint minty scent of Timothy, and she could hear his beating heart.
Timothy gazed down and whispered, “Do what you want with my money. I’m fine with everything.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Mia scrutinized the handsome face before her.
Despite his soothing voice, Timothy’s soul-reaching eyes did not make way for his mysterious mind.

Mia was lost. Why was Timothy helping her all of a sudden?
Mia composed herself and turned to Mary and Mildred.
The celebratory grin on their faces froze, clearly not expecting that Timothy would give Mia the right to veto everything. Would Mary and Mildred regret what they did just now? Either way, it felt good to be vindicated.
Mary pressed on shamelessly. “Mia, Timothy lets you decide. Just lend us the money already.”
Mildred nodded too. “Timothy is so generous. Surely you won’t be stingy and petty?” Gosh, shameless people were always the loudest.
Mia answered coldly, “I’d rather donate to a charity than lend you money. Just give up.”
“How dare you, Mia! We adopted you and funded your education. Now that you have your brothers and rich husband to fall back on, you want to kick us away? No way!”
Brothers? Timothy stared into Mia’s eyes. “What brothers?”
