Confronted by Shelly’s stare, Maya summoned the courage to speak, “Tim, initially, this was just a
minor Issue. Wilhelmina orchestrated everything, so please don’t hold Shelly responsible.”
With a cold expression, Timothy curtly replied, “I have things to attend to. You can leave.”
Feeling somewhat Kustered, Maya continued. “Tim, there’s something I need to discuss with you. For

Lowering his eyes, Timothy retorted. “So what? Our engagement was never real in the first place, and

Shelly had always held a contemptuous view of Mia, consistently belittling her both openly and
discreetly.
Now, compelled to apologize to Mia, Shelly felt as though she was being pushed to the brink of despair.

Maya’s lips curled with disdain. In her perspective, Shelly was just as incompetent, struggling to deal
with someone as insignificant as Mia.
Nevertheless, Maya understood the importance of maintaining Shelly’s allegiance for the time being.
Once she married Timothy, she wouldn’t have to deal with such foolishness anymore.

“If Mia’s adoptive parents managed to locate her, she could face significant trouble.”
A glint of amusement crossed Maya’s eyes. “That’s a clever approach. With Timothy and Grandma
Laura safeguarding Mia, even I wouldn’t dare to harm her casually. It appears to be the only viable
option.”
“I can’t fathom what’s admirable about Mia. I’ve heard she was adopted from an orphanage. How
