Chapter 333

Mia never expected that Maya would one day accuse her of harassment. She couldn’t fathom

Maya’s audacity.

Maya retorted defiantly, “Did I say something wrong? Who was the one embracing me downstairs

and pushing me into the elevator just now? And who pinned me against the wall, refusing to let

me go?”

Mia felt a blow to her sense of dignity.

Before she could explain, Timothy firmly grasped her arm, his lips forming a tight line. “Mia, follow

1. me.

“Timothy, let go!” Mia glanced back at Maya, who sported a smug expression. She couldn’t shake

the feeling that she had been tricked again!

What was going on with Timothy?

Mia found herself ushered into à corner by Timothy, and just as she was about to speak, he seized

her chin. “Mia, it seems you’re growing more daring, aren’t you? How did I miss that before?”

Meeting Timothy’s intense gaze, Mia scoffed. “Well, I’ve always warned you against judging me

from your narrow perspective. I doubt you’d comprehend,” she retorted sarcastically.

At her words, Timothy’s lips pressed into a thin line. “Grandma would be upset if she knew about

your attraction to women.”

Mia was caught off guard by Timothy’s words. After all, she was straight!

Mia chuckled in exasperation. “Alright, now that it’s out there, I won’t keep pretending. Yes, I’m

bisexual. I’ve come to realize that men aren’t all they’re cracked up to bê.

“Women are nurturing and understanding, and we connect on a deeper level. They’re much better

than those arrogant men.”

Upon hearing Mia’s confession, Timothy’s expression turned grim. He could sense Mia was

mocking him for his arrogant behavior.

Just as Timothy was about to respond, Mia’s phone rang. She checked the screen and noticed it

was Connor calling.

Brushing aside Timothy’s hand, she said, “Excuse me, I need to go now.”

Timothy glanced at Mia’s phone, which showed Connor’s incoming call. A slight frown creased

“If he can’t accept it, then I’ll simply find someone who will,” Mia muttered nonsensically.

With that, she turned and briskly descended the stairs through the nearby emergency exit,

deliberately avoiding the elevator to evade any potential encounters with Maya and Sharon.

Observing Mia leave, Timothy’s irritation grew.

He was already unhappy about Mia’s relationship with Connor, and now her apparent interest in

Maya only made him more aggravated.

Was Mia trying to charm every member of the Lane family?

“Tim.” Just then, Maya’s pitiful voice echoed.

She glanced at Timothy but didn’t spot Mia. It seemed as though Mia had fled out of a sense of guilt.

Timothy’s expression turned cold as he directed his gaze toward Maya, noticing her delicate

appearance, which seemed even more petite compared to Mia’s.

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Timothy couldn’t help but find Maya’s face particularly

irritating.

He spoke in a cold voice, “Keep your distance from Mia from now on. Don’t get too close to her.”

Upon hearing this, Maya’s expression shifted instantly to one of surprise. “Tim, I knew you-*

But before Maya could finish her sentence, Timothy abruptly turned and walked away, leaving Maya

standing alone.

Despite Timothy’s sudden departure, Maya’s mood notably improved. She interpreted his actions

as a sign of his care for her.

Certainly, Timothy’s insistence that Maya keep her distance from Mia appeared to be motivated by his

concern for Maya’s well–being.

Maya’s face lit up with a radiant smile. She was confident that Timothy would never show any

interest in someone like Mia, who had been born an orphan.

Just then, Sharon approached. “Maya, what did Tim say?”

“He told me to stay away from Mia. It’s clear he still cares about me.”
