Chapter 777

Upon hearing Ginger’s words, Mia’s expression shifted abruptly.

She instinctively glanced toward Timothy, who wore a similarly startled expression, his gaze complicated as he looked at her.

Mia was suddenly washed over by a pang of guilt.

The next moment, Sharon spoke disdainfully, “Huh, it seems that nowadays anyone can just casually claim someone else as their father. What a lack of manners!”

Shielding Ginger’s ears, Mia escorted her to the ward’s entrance and passed her over to Peyton. Mustering a smile, Mia remarked, “Ginger, why don’t you go back first? Mommy will join you later.”

Upon seeing Mia’s expression, Ginger instinctively pulled back, her neck tensing. Whenever Mia wore that smile, it meant that trouble was on the horizon for someone.

After her words, Mia closed the door of the hospital room, the smile disappearing from her face instantly.

Turning around, Mia regarded Sharon with a cold gaze. “I’ve heard that Mr. Barrett’s father passed away a long time ago. Mrs. Barrett, it must have been quite challenging for you to raise such a burden on your own all these years.”

Sharon’s expression froze. “Y–you… What nonsense are you talking about?”

Despite living in luxury for many years, Sharon never expected anyone to dare to label. Timothy as a “burden“!

Had Mia ever encountered a “burden” as wealthy as Timothy?
