Chapter 417
As Timothy stared at the missed call, he could almost guess the reason Mia was calling.
Caleb was unsure of how to reply and simply said, “It’s up to you!”
With a puzzled expression, Timothy asked, “If she asks about the divorce settlement, how should I
respond?”
Caleb covered his face, sounding somewhat helpless. “Just say whatever feels right.”
At this point. Timothy seemed to be facing a grim situation.
Glancing at his phone. Timothy ultimately decided not to call back, simply setting his phone aside.
Caleb stared at Timothy in surprise. “Aren’t you going to return her call?”
Timothy replied with an air of arrogance, “I’m just waiting for her to contact me first.”
“Are you sure about that?”
“Given all that money she has now, she won’t find it easy to sleep tonight. She’s bound to come looking
for me,” Timothy said confidently, although he knew deep down that Mia wasn’t materialistic.
Observing Timothy’s aloof demeanor, Caleb couldn’t help but sigh.
Just moments ago, Caleb assumed Timothy’s feelings for Mia were nothing more than a passing crush.
However, judging by Timothy’s current behavior, it appeared that his feelings for Mia were much more

The following day. Mia woke up and immediately checked her phone, but there were no missed calls or
messages from Timothy.
Despite attempting to reach him the previous night, she received no response from Timothy. Assuming
he was tied up in a meeting, she refrained from calling again and chose to wait for his return call.
However, she ended up drifting off to sleep while waiting, and upon waking up, she found herself still
without any response from Timothy.
What could Timothy possibly be thinking?
Surely, Timothy was aware that the divorce agreement had granted Mia all the shares of the Barrett
Group, essentially reducing him to a mere figurehead.
Nevertheless, it appeared that Timothy wasn’t bothered in the least.
On the contrary, Mia couldn’t shake off her anxiety. After all, these were not assets she could rightfully
claim.

Moreover, the division of shares was no small matter; if news of this were to spread, it could potentially
impact the stock price of the Barrett Group.
Additionally, if Laura were to discover this, it might inadvertently expose Mia and Timothy’s divorce.
Nevertheless, Mia was determined to handle this situation discreetly
Mia went straight to campus that morning.
With numerous arrangements to be made in the hall, Mia felt it necessary to oversee them herself for
peace of mind.
To prevent any unexpected issues, Mia needed to stay alert in case Maya, the devious troublemaker,
tried to tamper with anything behind her back.
Due to the university’s high regard for this music show, the preparations were executed with
remarkable efficiency.
As Mia observed the nearly completed setup in the hall, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Most of the decorations had already been arranged, and there was still enough time for her to attend to
the remaining minor details.
At noon, Mia made her way to the Music School to practice her piano piece.
I
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs she approached the entrance of the building, she ran into Maya unexpectedly.
Mia couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Why did it seem like she always bumped into Maya wherever she
went?
Maya suddenly spoke up. “Mia, are you here to practice in secret again? I suggest you abandon this
dream of yours.
“No matter how diligently you practice, you can’t match the outstanding students of the music team.
Why put yourself through the embarrassment?”
Standing beside Maya, a friend of hers–Charlotte Tillman–chimed in, attempting to appease Maya,
“Ms. Lane, why bother arguing with someone like her? She’s just a dropout: how can she compare to
us?”
Mia raised an eyebrow and glanced at them. “Do you know why Edwin Girod’s grandfather lived such a
long life?”
Maya appeared puzzled. “What does that have to do with our conversation?”
Charlotte added, “Yeah, how is Edwin’s grandfather relevant to us?”
