Chapter 1174
Ultimately, Sharon revealed herself as a selfish individual. For years, she had kept the truth hidden for her own benefit, portraying herself as the victim in the situation.
Suddenly, Sharon's voice erupted with indignation as she said, "But did I say anything wrong? If my son were still here, he wouldn't dare treat me like this.
"It's because Timothy's not my flesh and blood, but rather the offspring of that mistress. That explains why he acts this way.
"However, considering I raised him since he was young, shouldn't he repay me for my efforts? Just look at how he treats me now."
Timothy's expression remained impassive as he replied, "I understand. What is it that you want?"
Sharon voiced her request. "Well, I want to inherit everything that belongs to the Barrett family. Since you're not interested in heirs and intend to donate the family's entire fortune, why not designate it all to me? "It's only fair, considering my past contributions. Without my intervention, could you have regained your position as the Barrett family heir? Timothy, don't forget that everything and everyone you have today is thanks to me."
After taking a moment to think, Timothy replied, "I can't hand over complete ownership of the Barrett family's assets to you, but I'm open to transferring all the shares to you. However, you'll only have the right to receive dividends without any involvement in the company's management."
"Fair enough. Money holds its value regardless. And given my age, I'm not exactly well-suited for running a company.
"Now, there's an urgent task I need you to handle for me. Please secure a VIP membership card from Vior as soon as possible. Also, I'd appreciate it if you didn't interfere with my spending from now on." Timothy nodded in agreement. "Understood."
With that settled, Sharon adjusted her clothing and left the restaurant.
Meanwhile, the security personnel remained vigilant, ensuring all entrances and exits were secured to prevent unauthorized access.
As Sharon walked away, Mia turned to Timothy and asked, "Are you really thinking about giving her all your shares?"
Timothy remained composed as he replied, "If that's what she wants, then so be it. Given my circumstances, these assets shouldn't be mine to keep anyway."
Mia couldn't help but feel a twinge of concern at his words.
She knew well the effort Timothy had put in. She understood that the Barrett family's success owed much to his hard work.
Changing the topic swiftly, Mia suggested, "Shall we proceed with dinner?"
The pair then entered the private lounge, where the table was soon filled with a variety of dishes.
Timothy's melancholy was evident, even to Ginger and Sage.
Without hesitation, Ginger placed a freshly baked pie in front of Timothy. "This one's a real delight," she exclaimed cheerfully. "It's so delicious that it's bound to lift your spirits."
Timothy affectionately ruffled Ginger's hair before savoring a few bites of the pie.
Mia silently observed from the sidelines. It was clear that words had limited impact at this moment. Afterall, Timothy was well-versed with the situation.
With everything laid bare, it would take time for him to process and navigate through these emotions.
Throughout the evening, Ginger stayed faithfully by Timothy's side, assisting him with fetching food and tending to his needs.
It became apparent that only his children could provide comfort to Timothy's heart at this moment.
To everyone's surprise, Sage exhibited remarkable maturity today, refraining from occasional jibes or sarcastic remarks aimed at Timothy.
After the meal, Timothy took Ginger's hand and offered, "Let me accompany you both home."
"But there's an amusement park nearby."
