Chapter 520 Layla was doomed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at Layla’s face which was now drained of any color, Mia didn’t have any pity for her. If it weren't. for her identity, she would've fallen victim to her accusations.
Just then, Mia spotted Timothy. He strode in with his bandaged arm, looking slightly pale. She didn’t expect him to return from the hospital that soon.
It wasn’t possible. The hospital was quite a distance from her college, and he couldn’t have returned in such a short period of time. The only possibility was that he didn’t even visit the hospital-he merely went to the infirmary, Timothy's arrival had people swooning over his looks as well. He took long, wide strides toward the VIP area and sat next to the Lane brothers.
Kennedy stammered hastily. “L-Let’s continue.” Mia went back to her seat, but she had a constant feeling that someone was watching her. Uneasiness swallowed her as the auction reached its end.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKennedy was giving a speech on the stage. “That's a wrap of this splendid event! A big thank you to Mr. Barrett from Barrett Group for your support. We'll be delighted to hear a few words from you on stage.” Baffled, Mia glanced over at Timothy, Wasn't he hurt? As expected. Heath went on stage and handed the microphone to Timothy instead. His long and slender fingers twined around the microphone as he spoke in a low timbre. “I apologize for not being able to go on stage due to my injury. Regarding today’s event —* Mia's gaze was fixated on his arm. She remembered his a was quite severe. Why did he return when he should've been at the hospital? “Mia, let's go. The event has ended, after all” Claude had a hunch that Timothy had something up his sleeve. Now that Mia's identity was revealed, he strived to protect Mia by all means.
Mia nodded, and followed her brothers out of the hall. Their cars were parked outside, and Mia got in the car with Dominic and Eva. The other brothers watched them leave in envy.
Liam was indignant. “Why do they get to be in the scar as Mia?” Looking visibly jealous, Claude chimed in. “There has to be a rotation. | want to be in the scar with Mia too.” The others nodded in agreement, all coming to a consensus that having a rotation was the best arrangement.
Just then, Connor spun around and saw Timothy emerging from the hall. His face tell. Five of them confronted Timothy, and Timothy no longer acted arrogant. They were Mia’s family, after all.
Pursing his lips, he went up to them. “When are you planning to bring her back?” “Very soon. Why do you ask? Are you going to see her off at the airport? Connor snapped, A smirk played on Claude's lips. “You're Timothy, aren't you? Mia's one of the Lanes now, and you don’t deserve her. Straighten your senses and reflect on whether you're actually worthy of her.” Jason scowled at Timothy, saying, “You've already divorced Mia. | hereby warn you to stay away from her, otherwise my law firm will make sure that you'll be very sorry!” Liam snickered. “If you dare to make a move, I'll get the whole Inteto gang up on you! You know how terrifying those netizens can be, and ex-husband shenanigans are certainly not their cup of tea.” Timothy stood his ground and answered unwaveringly. “To me, she’s the one and only Mrs. Barrett.” She would be his for the rest of his life.
