Chapter 737

Mia’s heart raced upon hearing that. Timothy embodied everything she found attractive an austere man

who effortlessly stirred her emotions

with his reassuring words.

Mia smiled. “Okay. Since you’ve put it that way, there’s no reason for me to decline, is there?”

Her gaze followed his toward the patient’s room,

and her smile waned slightly. “But I’ll go alone. Ginger should rest here at the hospital.”

She didn’t want to involve Ginger in the potential conflict. Mia felt fully capable of handling the Barretts

on her own.

“The test results will be available tomorrow night. She’ll be back on her feet soon.”

“I believe so too,” Mia responded, though her feelings were a mix of hope and apprehension.

This drama would soon come to an end. If Timothy turned out to be a match Mia for Ginger’s bone

marrow, surgery could be arranged promptly. Then, could finally take Ginger away.

As Timothy departed from the hospital, Peyton approached Mia. “Ms. Mia, Mrs. Barrett’s birthday

celebration will be held at Aide Castle.”

It was a private resort.

Mia’s brow arched. “What a coincidence. It appears she has good taste.”

Aide Castle was a project in which Dominic had invested, and Mia had personally designed every

aspect of it. Just as Mia was planning to visit the location in person, Sharon’s birthday event happened

to be scheduled there.

“What should we do? Should we cancel her reservation?” asked Peyton.

“No, we can’t afford to turn away such an Important guest. It would foolish not to capitalize on the

opportunity. Increase the price by ten percent. Let her know that this is an exclusive, bespoke service

avaliabl only to her.”

Will she accept the offer? Tomorrow’s the birthday party, though.”

“She will. Have someone reach out to her directly.”

Mia understood individuals like Sharon all too well. Wealthy women like her often looked down on the

less fortunate and valued money above all else.

The Barrett family was the richest in Bern City. If Mia could establish Aide Castle’s reputation through

this deal, it would open doors to introduce the resort to other affluent individuals.

Would any savvy businessman pass up such a lucrative opportunity? Certainly not. Moreover, Mia had

no qualms about profiting from her

adversary.

After briefing Peyton on the arrangements, Mia checked her phone. Shelly had posted images of

branded products purportedly bought from the fashion show on social media. However, they were, in

fact, counterfeits!

She liked the post, smirking. Tomorrow was bound to be interesting.

The next morning, Shelly messaged Mia, “Are you coming to Aunt Sharon’s birthday party?”

eplied, “Yes, Tim invited me yesterday.”

Shelly sent a voice message. “See? I told you so! Tim likes you a lot. He’ll definitely bring you to the

birthday party. See you tonight!”

As Shelly was selecting her attire for the evening, Luna entered with a young boy, creating an awkward

atmosphere. After all, they had clashed at the private fashion show the day before.

Luna asked, “Shelly, were you texting Ms. Monalize? Is she coming to the

23

party tonight as well?”

“Yes, Tim is introducing her to our family. I bet their wedding will be soon, meaning someone won’t

have a chance anymore.” Shelly taunted Luna,

relishing in her discomfort as payback for yesterday’s altercation.

Luna’s expression shifted as she lowered her tone and said, “Shelly, I was out of line yesterday. I

shouldn’t have spoken to you that way…”
