Chapter 487
Mia looked at Eva. Everything felt surreal to her, especially when Eva gave the other party a reality
check by flashing her VIP membership card.
Eva was so cool.
Eva let out a wry cough. “Your brothers‘ businesses are on the roll lately. The companies that are
supposed to be listed are listed. I previously invested my wedding gift in their startups and I now should
receive my returns, shouldn’t I?”
“Is this how successful their businesses are?” Something felt off to Mia, but she couldn’t quite put her
finger on it.
Eva went silent for a moment. When she was going to say something, Mia’s phone rang.
Mia checked her phone and realized that it was a message from Timothy. ‘Done shopping?”
She had a guess–Sharon might’ve snitched to that bastard.

“A friend.” Hurriedly, Mia kept her phone.
The store manager approached her with a warm smile. “This is a bag from our latest collection. It
complements the dress really well. Do you like it?”
Eva’s eyes casually observed the bag. “Oh, it’s rare to come across this kind of leather. Why didn’t you
bring it out earlier? Were you afraid that I couldn’t afford it?”
The manager said apologetically, “No. We have a rule for selling this bag. We have to wait three days
before we can sell it.”
That strange rule piqued Mia’s interest. “If so, why are you bringing it out right now?”
“We’d like to make up for the misunderstanding that occurred, Mrs. Barrett.”
“Mrs. Barrett?” Her expression shifted. “Did Timothy tell you to do this?”
Realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue, the manager covered her mouth out of fear.
Eva pulled Mia’s hand. “We don’t need this bag, Mia. Tell Timothy Barrett that we can afford these
bags. We don’t need the Barretts!”
Eva didn’t seem to be surprised at all. Besides, she didn’t question anything about Timothy when
Shelly misspoke a while ago.
Baffled, Mia asked, “Eva, have you long known what happened between Timothy and I?”

“Seems like I can’t keep it a secret anymore.” Eva motioned for the store manager to leave before
sighing. “Silly girl. Why didn’t you tell us sooner? About you and the Barretts? Are you afraid of causing
us trouble?”
Mia gave a nod. “Yeah, we’re in Bern City. Plus, there’s nothing between us anymore, so I figured
there’s no need to tell you guys about it.”
“That’s your one–sided thought, Mia. I don’t think Timothy feels the same way. He even gifted you such
an expensive bag!”

There was an unnatural shift to Mia’s expression as she lowered her voice. “He’s worried that his
grandmother might find out about our divorce. It’ll take a toll on her health.”
Eva scoffed, “That’s why Timothy, that jerk, doesn’t want to divorce?”
“Yeah,” answered Mia,
to empty his bank accounts!”
“I know how to deal with this, Eva.”
That was the last thing Mia wanted.
She pulled Eva’s hand. “Eva, I just want to leave in peace. I don’t want to have anything to do with
them
anymore.”
