Chapter 415
Upon hearing this, Timothy was stunned, his dark eyes reflecting disbelief.
He instinctively replied, “Of course not!”
How could he possibly have feelings for Mia?
Caleb said to Timothy sternly. “If you truly had no feelings for Mia, why are you so unguarded around
her? It shows that, subconsciously, you trust her a great deal.
“And on top of that, you two have been in a messy divorce for so long. She’s been involved with other
men, and you’ve put up with it until now. Do you think you’re being fair to yourself?”
Timothy pursed his lips, a cold expression forming on his face. “I’m doing this for Grandma Laura’s
sake.”
Caleb remarked, “Indeed, before Grandma Laura had her surgery, everyone thought Mia would try to
take advantage of the situation to cling to you.
“Now that Grandma Laura’s surgery is over, why haven’t you and Mia proceeded with the divorce?
“Furthermore, when Mia’s lawyer came to discuss the property settlement with you, you simply signed

“Are you still insisting that you weren’t acting out of spite when you signed?”
Timothy appeared puzzled. “Out of spite?”
“Didn’t you just sign the document simply because you were frustrated with Mia’s sudden decision to
initiate divorce proceedings and her insistence on drafting the property settlement agreement?
“Wouldn’t that imply that you still have feelings for her?”
Caleb’s analysis left Timothy silent for a moment. Indeed, after signing the papers this time, he realized
an issue. He seemed to be paying more attention to Mia.
But this didn’t make sense to Timothy!
“Tim, now is not the time for you to drown in sorrow and alcohol.”
Timothy looked up. “Are you suggesting that I find Mia?”
“Yes, that’s precisely what you need to do!”
Timothy furrowed his brows, a sense of unease creeping over him as he clutched the wine bottle. “I’m
still trying to figure out how to deal with my feelings for her.”
Caleb was caught off guard.

agreement, but it seems you’re more focused on sorting out your feelings for her. I can’t help you with
that.”
Caleb can’t seem to believe that Timothy was getting caught up in thoughts about Mia. Despite his
financial troubles, Timothy seemed more fixated on his emotions.
Timothy’s expression shifted awkwardly as he averted his gaze. “This issue can wait.”
“How can it wait? You’re on the verge of bankruptcy! If your ancestors knew you were divorcing and
handing over the company shares to Mia, they’d be appalled.
Timothy calmly observed the red wine in his hand. “Mia isn’t that type of person. She wouldn’t want to
claim my assets.”
“What do you mean she wouldn’t want it? Didn’t Mia send her lawyer to initiate discussions about the

Caleb was utterly perplexed; he couldn’t help but wonder if there was more to the story than meets the
eye.
Timothy’s expression darkened at the mention of the lawyer. “There are problems with the terms
drafted by that lawyer. Mia likely isn’t aware of it.”
If Mia genuinely wanted Timothy’s assets, she would have raised the matter earlier.
Beforehand, Timothy had also prepared a property settlement agreement, yet Mia declined to request
any assets and went as far as tearing up the agreement.
Hence, it seemed unlikely that the unreasonable terms in this current agreement could have originated
from Mia.
Caleb’s lips twitched slightly. “Do you have that much faith in her?”
“I’m not just trusting her; I’m counting on my grandmother’s judgment as well” Timothy emphasized.
Caleb was momentarily taken aback. It seemed Timothy was using Laura as an excuse once again.
Only a fool would fall for his deceit.
Caleb couldn’t help but ask, “So, who is this lawyer?”
