Chapter 711 Mia broached the topic on purpose.
After all, given that Timothy brought up Shelly and was aware of Mia's extensive purchases for her, he likely also learned from Shelly about the incident with Sharon.
Having accepted numerous gifts from Mia, it seemed probable that Shelly exaggerated the situation and complained to Timothy about it.
On the call, Timothy remained quiet for a moment. "It appears she may have mistaken you for my ex- wife." "Wow, is Mrs. Barrett's relationship with your ex-wife really that bad? Having a mother-in-law like that must

Standing in the hospital corridor, Timothy gazed at the dark sky outside.
His voice carried a heavy tone as he responded, "You don't need to take my mother's words to heart." "Mr. Barrett, do I appear like someone who would be affected by irrelevant remarks? Typically, if there's a conflict, I react immediately.
"Mr. Barrett, I'd like to remind you that I'm different from your ex-wife.
You see, I do have a fiery temper. I can handle a lot, but I refuse to accept | defeat."
Mia's words seemed to convey an underlying message, expressing a deep-seated dissatisfaction and possibly venting on behalf of her past self from four years ago.
After Mia finished speaking, Timothy chuckled softly on the other end of the phone. "Okay, I get it. How about we have dinner together tomorrow night?" Timothy had never imagined that the old Mia would ever be willing to take a loss! Upon ending the call, Mia couldn't shake off the feeling that Timothy's last chuckle had been a bit peculiar. Did he perceive her words as a joke? The next morning, Mia stayed home with Ginger. She cautioned Ginger not to disclose anything while pretending
to be unwell later that night.
Shortly after, Mia received a call from Shelly. "Monalize, why don't we head out this afternoon? Since it's your first time in Bern City, you might not be familiar with the area." "I can't make it today. Mr. Barrett invited me to dinner at Americana Restaurant tonight, and I have appointments with a makeup artist and stylist in the afternoon." Mia deliberately mentioned the time and place. As anticipated, Shelly replied, "I understand. In that case, I won't intrude on your date, Monalize.
But there was something I wanted to discuss with you while we were out shopping that afternoon." "What is it?"

Monalize, I found out that you're the heiress of the prestigious Mendes family in Nord City. Aunt Sharon is now deeply regretful for her behavior." Listening to Shelly's gloating words, Mia's eyes flashed with a hint of irony as she casually replied, "And?" "Well, Aunt Sharon's birthday is coming up in a few days, and our family is hosting a small party. You're invited to join the celebration." "Sure," Mia agreed readily.
With the bone marrow matching results expected in a couple of days, it would soon be time to confront the Barrett family as well.
After the call ended, Shelly quickly went on her social media to flaunt the purchases from her shopping spree yesterday, not forgetting to mock Blair for being kicked out.
"Shelly." Just then, Luna entered the room hand in hand with a young boy.
Upon noticing Luna's arrival, Shelly promptly set aside her phone. "Aunt Sharon is upstairs. I... I have something to attend to. I'll head out first." "Shelly, we need to talk." After sending Asher upstairs, Luna turned to Shelly. "Did you ever have suspicions about that woman's identity? I'm just looking out for you. I don't want you to be misled." "Luna, Tim looked into that woman.
She's from the wealthy electrical magnate family in Nord City, not some enigmatic figure. It's just a coincidence that she resembles Mia. They are two different people."
