Sensing Nicholas' implication, Mia masked her awkwardness with a quick smile.

Timothy also heard what he said from the Apple Watch. Infuriated, his grip on the cup in his hand tightened.

Sure enough, that evil bastard Nicholas had finally revealed his true colors!

Listening to their conversation, Timothy remained silent. He had been anticipating Mia's response, yet the call ended abruptly.

He paced the room anxiously, pondering what he should do to stop all of this.

Timothy had been texting Ginger, but she didn't reply at all. He even began imagining Mia accepting Nicholas' proposal, and them having a wedding together.

He shuddered in fright. Sitting up on the sofa, he glanced at the time. He only slept for two hours and ended up having a nightmare.

Thankfully, it was just a dream.

Timothy reached for his phone and checked his messages again. There was still no response.

He had never waited desperately for someone's response like this before.

Awash in dread, he texted Ginger again.
