Chapter 327
This was a matter Mia needed to approach with caution.
Shelly’s confidence in her accusations left Mia baffled, struggling to comprehend her boldness.
“Haha, Mia, feeling guilty, huh? You’re silent because I’ve hit the mark, haven’t I?”
Observing Mia’s lack of response, Shelly grew ecstatic. She was convinced she had uncovered a secret only she knew.
Mia remained composed. “Indeed, you’ve got it right. I am pregnant, intentionally keeping this information from everyone, and secretly orchestrating the heir agreement.”
“Haha, Mia, so you finally confess, huh? I’m going to disclose this to everyone later and expose your true nature,” Shelly declared triumphantly.
Mia raised an eyebrow. “Shelly, you’re truly naive.”
Her gaze held a hint of disdain, leaving Shelly feeling somewhat indignant. “What do you mean?
You’re the naive one!”
“What do I mean? Can’t you read the document? With Timothy’s signature already on it, this
document is ready to take effect at any moment. It’s just a matter of me signing it.
“Once it comes into force, my child will become the heir to the Barrett Group. In the future, won’t l
play a substantial role in the decision making of the Barrett family?”
Mia glanced slyly at Shelly and smirked, “It appears that the limit on your future credit card will
also be subject to my discretion!”
Shelly’s face was drained of color. “Don’t celebrate too soon. Once I expose your true intentions, Tim will never allow this document to take effect, and your plans will crumble.”
“But as long as Grandma Laura is present and I carry a child inside me, who among you can pose
a threat to me?” Mia boasted.” Still think you’re not naive?”
Shelly swallowed hard. Throughout this period, her credit card had been restricted.
She had to resort to using a supplementary card provided by Maya with a limited credit line. It
was undeniably frustrating.
If Mia continued to be the heiress of the Barrett family, wouldn’t Shelly’s future be in jeopardy?
In response, Shelly took a few steps back and fled in fear.

Watching her flee, Mia couldn’t resist a smile. It appeared that Shelly wasn’t cut out for handling intimidation!
Despite this, Mia couldn’t shake the mystery of how Shelly was so sure about her pregnancy. If Shelly happened to divulge this information, It could pose a threat to Mia.
Gently touching her belly, Mia understood the need to make proactive plans.
Meanwhile, Laura’s surgery had been underway for two hours. After sitting for a while, Mia stood up and made her way to the restroom.
Coincidentally, she encountered Timothy on the way.
Their eyes locked, creating a tense atmosphere.
Mia blurted out, “Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.”
Timothy stepped aside, and Mia slipped into the restroom.
Her thoughts were chaotic, shifting between Shelly’s claims and Timothy’s declaration of not pursuing a divorce.
It appeared that the Barretts were indeed troublesome individuals.
Mia sighed and exited the restroom.
As she returned to the area outside the operating room, Mia spotted Timothy seated in a chair, his laptop set aside. He gazed out of the window, seemingly lost in contemplation.
After a brief pause, Mia decided to approach him.
As Mia followed Timothy’s gaze outside, she observed a pair of birds nestled on a tree branch-
affectionately tending to each other’s feathers and gently pecking at each other’s beaks.
Was it becoming a trend for birds to showcase their love like this?
A quietness settled between Mia and Timothy once more.
Soon, the tranquility was shattered by the sound of Mia’s stomach growling.
A blush crept onto her cheeks as she instinctively covered her belly. It wasn’t even that late, so why was she feeling hungry now?
