Chapter 142
Only then did Mia release Timothy. She fixed his tie gently, so gently that it didn’t feel real to him.
It reminded him of the past when she helped him with his tie and took care of his meals and well–being.
Something wavered in his eyes as he forgot about how she strangled him just a moment ago.
At that moment, the door was opened, and Liam walked out of the room. “Mia.”
An alarm went off in his head when he realized that Mia was with Timothy.
He took huge strides to disengage them by standing between them.
Timothy’s face fell. A slightly nervous Mia gazed at Liam. “How did it go?”
“I paid the money. They’ll bring the necklace over to us later. Let’s go.”
“Okay.” She nodded and didn’t spare Timothy a single glance.

Liam eyed Timothy. “Make way, please. Don’t you think that you’re getting in the way?”
Pursing his lips, Timothy didn’t move an inch.
Mia held Liam’s arm. “Let’s go this way.”
“Okay. Your wish is my command.” Liam looked at her with a warm smile.
“Mia, why don’t we get a bracelet too? It’ll be a matching set with the necklace!
“Oh, how about getting new clothes and bags to match that necklace? We can head to the mall later.”
Timothy watched the duo leave as his brows furrowed.
Finally, he loosened his tie again before looking at Heath. “Do women generally prefer men who are
good at sweet nothings?”
Heath was silent for a moment. “Men who know how to make them feel better are indeed more popular.
Women like to be pampered.”
Timothy sighed in disdain. He trod toward the auction venue, his face all gloomy.
Maya walked to his side. “Timothy, where have you been? Ms. Bowen’s boyfriend bought that
necklace.”
He was watching Liam help Mia wear the necklace from behind her.
Her smile was such an eyesore for Timothy to take in.
A grin beamed across Maya’s face. “Looks like Liam is serious about Ms. Bowen.”
Shelly huffed, “Someone like her wants to be Mrs. Lane? In her dreams! Ms. Lane, are your family

Maya went stiff. “I–I’m not sure about that.”

All these years, they had never acknowledged her status as Ms. Lane. Of course, she would take that
fact to
her grave.
Shelly turned to Timothy. “Timothy, the engagement ceremony is going to be this weekend. Why not cut
down the number of guests? Mia might come over to ruin the occasion.”
Maya heaved a sigh of relief. Shelly made herself useful at times despite her stupidity.
Anticipation glowed in Maya’s eyes, which zeroed in on him.
He returned her a cold gaze instead. “When will Connor have time?”
She froze, barely making a feeble explanation. “I–I’m discussing it with him about it. He’s busy these
days.”
“I see. There’s no need for that. Let’s call off the engagement.”
