Nicole hurriedly hung up the phone and sent Gabrielle a message.
"Gabrielle, is there news of Samuel's condition?"
Gabrielle, of course, knew about Nicole's situation, so she hurriedly replied, "Yes. It becomes clearer. I
have a senior who is very knowledgeable about this. We can go take a look. He is also where you're
now, but he seems to live in Médoc. I'm on a plane heading your way. I'd like to go over there together
if we can."
This news was too inspiring for Nicole.
"Alright, I'll have someone to look after Samuel and go with you to take a look. Why don't I pick you up
now?"
"No, I'm almost there. Blair gave me the address."
After Gabrielle and Nicole finished communicating, Nicole was particularly excited.
Médoc?
'Isn't that where Tim and Maia are?'
Nicole sent a message to Maia at once, saying, "I'll go over today or tomorrow and sign the contract
myself."
As soon as Maia got the news, she said to Liam, "Lady Bush may come over to sign the contract
tomorrow."
Tim couldn't help but pause.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Lady Bush just replied to me."
Tim didn't say anything else.
When Liam heard that Nicole was coming over, he knew that Alexia's aim was reached. So Liam
smiled and said, "Well, since you're all here, let's stay at my villa today. It's got everything, or shall I
show you around? Aren't you going to develop tourism? How about taking a look at the scenery here?"
Tim had nothing to do anyways, so he nodded.
Seeing that Tim didn't have a problem with it, of course Maia was fine with it.
Liam sent someone to arrange for the deal. He poured them a cup of tea and said, "Try our black tea."
Tim smelled a fragrance of the tea and got intrigued.
"It smells good."
"Of course. We planted it ourselves. Mr. Tim, if you like it, I'll give you some later."
"No. I can buy some."
Tim smiled faintly.
Tim and Liam drank black tea and kindly talked about romantic affairs.
Maia listened to their conversation and found that Tim and Liam got along. She couldn't help but look at
Tim. Birds of a feather really flock together.
It seemed that Tim was a lady-killer.
"I'm going out to take a look."
Maia suddenly felt that staying here was quite embarrassing. Tim and Liam talked about those things
but didn't feel shame even if Maia was there.
Was Maia really like a cowgirl?
Seeing Maia leave, Tim hurriedly said, "Don't go far."
"Okay."
With that, Maia went out.
Liam looked at Maia and narrowed his eyes. Liam smiled and said, "Mr. Tim's really tender towards
Maia."
"Alright."
Tim didn't say anything else.
Maia came out and found that the scenery outside was indeed quite beautiful. She took a look and sat
down at a pavilion.
"Do you really take this place as your home?"
Alexia suddenly appeared in front of Maia.
Maia paused and ignored Alexia. Since Maia knew that she couldn't get along with Alexia, Maia wasn't
even going to respond to that hypocritically.
Seeing that Maia ignored her, Alexia didn't get angry. Instead, she sat down beside Maia.
"I heard that Lady Bush is coming?"
"What do you want?"
Maia couldn't help but ask when she heard Alexia mention Nicole.
Alexia asked in a low voice, "Is Lady Bush beautiful?"
"She's much prettier than you."
"Really? Then I want to meet her."
Alexia didn't believe that Nicole was prettier than herself.
Maia felt that talking to Alexia was so boring, so Maia hurriedly got up and wanted to leave.
"Maia, you'd better know a bit about yourself. Tim takes care of you as he pities you. Don't take
yourself seriously."
Although Maia didn't like Tim, she was still depressed when she heard Alexia's words.
Maia turned around, looked at Alexia, and said, "If I really want to compete with you for Tim, you'll have
a fat chance, and you won't be taken care of by Tim. So don't take yourself too seriously."
"You...."
Alexia stood up angrily.
"What? Do you still want to fight me? Do you really think I can't fight back in your family? You'll see
whether Tim will beat you up or not in front of your brother if you hit me."
Maia really didn't want to throw her weight around, but Alexia was too much.
And Maia suddenly felt that throwing her weight was not bad.
Alexia was immediately shriveled by Maia's words.
Alexia had seen how Tim beat someone up before.
Tim didn't care if you were a woman or not. As long as you provoked him, he would beat you up.
However, that was why Alexia became even more infatuated with Tim. It had to be said that Alexia
seemed to be a little masochistic.
Maia didn't say anything about this. Seeing that Alexia was no longer aggressive, Maia turned around
and left.
Not far away, Maia met Tim.
Tim smiled evilly and leaned against the pillars of the pavilion, his arms around his chest. Tim looked at
Maia and said, "I really don't dare to beat Alexia up in front of her brother."
"What?"
Maia froze, a little overwhelmed. When Maia came out of her trance, her face turned slightly red.
"How can a grown man like you eavesdrop on me?"
"What do you mean by that? I was just listening to you aboveboard. Why didn't you tell me before you
took advantage of me?"
Maia felt that her practice was a little villainous, but so what?
Maia was that mean.
"What's wrong? I used your name, so I have to pay for it, right?"
"I appreciate it!"
Tim really knew how to cater to others.
Maia reached into her pocket, took out a coin, and put it in Tim's hand.
"Here you are. Then we're even. We'll continue working together next time."
With that, Maia was ready to leave.
Tim looked at the coin in his hand and couldn't help but laugh.
"Is my name only worth a coin?"
"I overpaid for it, okay? Do you want more? Then give it back to me!"
As Maia spoke, she was going to snatch it away.
"How can you get the money back? No way!"
Tim raised his arm and retreated. Maia couldn't stand steadily and directly pounced towards Tim.
"Oh. Gosh!"
Maia shouted and thought she would fall on the ground face down. But Maia didn't expect that Tim's
warm chest blocked her at once while Tim would catch her around her slender waist.
"You throw yourself into my arms as I don't give the coin to you, right? Your trick isn't bad."
Tim said with a smile.
Maia felt embarrassed because it was the first time Maia had close contact with a man. But now Maia
heard Tim say this, Maia smiled scornfully. Then, Maia suddenly raised her foot and stepped on the
back of Tim's foot.
"Ouch...."
Tim felt pain and immediately let go of Maia.
Maia said smugly, "Sorry. It's the interest on that coin."
With that, Maia snorted and turned around to leave.
Tim winced in pain.
"Maia, are you really a woman? Do you know what it means to be tender? Do you know that you
should apply soft methods in front of strong men? A man will run away when he sees you like this."
Maia's footsteps paused a little.
Maia was born like this. What could she do?
'If a man really likes me, then he must like the truest version of myself. I don't want to change my
personality just to please a man.'
Thinking of this, Maia continued to lift her feet and left confidently.
Alexia saw that Maia got along with Tim not far away and clenched her fists tightly together.
Maia said that she didn't have a crush on Tim. But they actually got close to each other. So how could it
be true?
Why did Alexia feel that Maia was too scheming?
Perhaps that Nicole was just a cover, and Maia was the one who had ambitions for Tim.
A trace of hatred flashed across Alexia's eyes.
Tim noticed the resentment behind them and turned around right away.
Alexia hurriedly laughed.
"Mr. Tim, Maia and you are in a good relationship. Are you a couple?"
Tim really admired Alexia.
Alexia could change her expression at will and flawlessly in such a short time. It was a pity that Alexia
didn't develop her career in the entertainment industry.
Tim had seen all kinds of women, so he could tell at a glance what Alexia was thinking.
"What does my relationship with Maia have to do with you?"
Alexia was rendered speechless and could only say awkwardly, "I'm just asking."
"Then stop asking. I'm not that easygoing."
With that, Tim turned around and left.
Liam walked out from the shadows and saw that Alexia was really angry. He whispered, "Is Tim worthy
of your painstaking efforts?"
"I want Tim! You don't even know how good he is. I've already investigated it. A few days ago,
something happened to Louis Group. It was almost bankrupt. Tim made Louis Group comeback by
himself. Tim has potential and his prospect is beyond measure. If I become his wife, I'll be set up for life
as well as be able to help you. Liam, you have to help me."
Alexia pulled Liam's arm and shook it, acting like a spoiled child.
"Is that Maia really Tim's woman?"
Liam had his own goals.
How could Alexia not know what Liam was like?
Alexia rapidly said, "No, I heard that a friend of Tim asked him to take care of Maia. Otherwise, do you
think that a man like Tim would fall for a countrywoman like Maia?"
"I see!"
Liam's eyes instantly lit up a lot.
"Well, I want Maia, and you want Tim. Let's get what we need. How about it?"
"Deal."
Alexia and Liam both agreed.
Alexia and Liam discussed how to take Maia and Tim down. Tim came to the living room. Seeing that
Maia was still drinking tea, Tim whispered, "Don't drink wine and beverages at night. Be careful with
everything."
"Why?"
Maia blinked her big eyes at Tim.
Seeing that there was no one around, Tim whispered, "I'm afraid that Alexia and Liam are up to no
good and you will be in another man's bed when you get up tomorrow morning."
"Tim!"
Maia was depressed.
Tim continued, "Why don't we find an excuse to leave?"
Maia was depressed.
Tim continued, "Why don't we find an excuse to leave?"
