Chapter 597 

Everyone’s attention was captured by the sandalwood box when Timothy opened it. Intrigued, Mia looked at it, and she was surprised once she saw what was inside the box. 

It was a diamond tiara. It was antique, yet the stunning array of diamonds still glimmered under the light, 

portraying an ethereal glow which rendered the nearby quests breathless. 

Sharon almost toppled over when Timothy opened the box. She yearned for the tiara, longing for the day 

she would finally own it once Laura passed. Someone next to her steadied her and asked, “Is this the 

diamond tiara? I heard it belonged to a queen from the Victorian era, and the Barrett family bidded it at an 

auction to add it to their collection.” 

As speechless as Sharon was, she was still seething. She was well aware of the tiara’s history, and she 

knew what was in it once she laid eyes on the box. Her blood boiled when she realized Timothy was 

going to give this to Mia. This was hers! How could he give it to someone else? 

Mia was equally dumbfounded. This wasn’t just any jewelry–this was antique, treasured jewelry. 

Overcome by jealousy, Shelly blurted, “Look at how flippant Timothy is, Grandma! How could he just give 

our family heirloom away to a stranger?” 

Laura replied indifferently, “I gave him the tiara. He has the right to give it to anyone he likes.” 

Shelly was infuriated. “Grandma, you’re so biased! We ladies clearly fancy exquisite jewelry like this, yet you gave it to Timothy.” She had nothing despite being a Barrett. Her father passed away, and she had 

no one to rely on in the family. 

Laura’s gaze swept past her. “Did I treat you badly over the years?” 

Shelly was fuming, but Harriette warned her. “Enough. Stop the nonsense.” She deterred Shelly. preventing her from spluttering more nonsense in front of the numerous guests. She was well aware that Laura played a significant role in ensuring their comfort and well–being. 

Their lavish lifestyle would come to an end if they offended Timothy. Also, Mia was no longer an orphan. They couldn’t afford to upset her either. She was the daughter of the Lane family. 

Mia too didn’t expect to receive a gift of this value. It exceeded her expectations. Glancing up at Timothy. 

she said, “This is too much. I can’t accept it!” 

Sharon was relieved. Her uneasiness faded once she realized Mia didn’t want the tiara. Timothy wasn’t taken aback by Mia’s response, since he knew that she was no longer her docile self.

It turned out that Laura was right, after all. If he could understand his feelings sooner and coaxed her before her brothers found her, things wouldn’t be as strenuous as they were now. 

Palpable tension hung in the air after Mia refused to accept the gift. 

Striding up to Mia, Eva linked arms with her and said, “Mia, you did the right thing. We can’t accept a gift of such priceless value, but we appreciate your effort, Mr. Barrett. You can still be friends after you’ve 

separated, can’t you?”
