Mia’s expression darkened instantly upon the mention of a dead woman.


    Tension hung thick in the air, and Luna began adding fuel to the fire.


    “Ms. Chapman, have you had too much to drink? How can you spit such nonsense?”


    “I’m not! We don’t know her background, and she’s pretending to be wealthy. Isn’t she taking


    advantage of her resemnce to Timothy’s ex- wife to be his girlfriend? Since she’s already doing


    it, why can’t I talk about it?”


    “Because I won’t allow this!” A frigid voice snapped, breaking the tension in the dining area.


    Timothy appeared in a navy blue suit, looking elegant and sophisticated.


    Surprise danced in Mia’s eyes as she caught sight of him. She had always thought ck suits didn’t


    quite suit him, believing that colors lent him a more captivating charm.


    Nikki gaped at him, giving no heed to his hardened expression. He was truly


    attractive.


    However, Timothy coldly addressed Amelia and Nikki, “Since you’re upset with my girlfriend, you can


    leave the party now.”


    Amelia eximed in shock, “Are you kicking us out?”


    Nikki was on the verge of tears. She didn’t want to leave. She yearned to

    spend some time alone with Timothy. After all, this was such a rare


    opportunity.


    Neither Amelia nor Nikki moved. Heath approached them and said, “If you can’t find your way out, I can


    show you the way.”

    Mia smirked. She thought he was hrious.


    Amelia rebuked stiffly, “We’re Mrs. Barrett’s guests. You have no right to kick us out.”


    Furrowing his brows, Timothy ordered, “Get them out of my sight in one minute.”


    Heath immediately had the security guardse over and kick the


    Chapmans out. Even from a distance, the echoes of their piercing cries lingered in the air.


    The dining area was notably quiet. No one expected Timothy to actually kick the Chapmans out to get


    back at them for insulting Mia.


    In fact, Mia was caught off guard as well. She didn’t expect him to be this decisive. However, she did


    find his action rather impressive.


    She strode over to him. “I’ll get some food for you.”


    Timothy followed her to the food selection area, and they were alone there.


    Mia chanced a nce at him. “Mr. Barrett, it seems like your mother has invited the Chapmans. Isn’t


    your mother going to be embarrassed if she found out that you threw them out?”


    “She wouldn’t mind as long as I tell her that the Chapmans are on the brink


    kruptcy.”


    “Your mother is really a typical snob.”


    Timothy continued calmly, “Don’t worry about what the Chapmans say. I’ve never treated you as a


    substitute.”


    “I know. I’m a sessful person. Such issues are never part of my concern.” Mia shifted the topic


    immediately. “Well, what do you think about the castle?”


    “It’s decent. Do you like this ce?”

    Mia nodded. “The environment’s great, and the gardens are absolutely stunning. I like their food as


    well. It’s tough not to fall in love with this ce.


    Actually, it was only because she owned this ce. Of course she’d like it.


    Soon, Sharon’s annoyed voice resonated across the room. “Tim, look what you’ve done!”


    Standing next to Sharon, Luna shot a triumphant look at Mia. She wondered how Mia was going to


    resolve this situation. Nikki was a special guest, after


    Just then, Kaleb mumbled something in Sharon’s ear. Looking bbergasted, she inquired, “Are you


    sure?”
