Chapter 115
Suddenly, a chilling, resonant voice sliced through the tension within the office.
Mia turned around, her eyes locking onto Timothy’s silhouette by the doorway. His towering and commanding presence seemed to eclipse the ambient light.
Yet, amidst the gravity of the moment, a peculiar flutter stirred within her heart.
Timothy’s authoritative aura filled the space as he entered the room.
Kennedy quickly interjected, “Mr. Barrett, what brings you here?”
Timothy’s eyes held a piercing intensity as he declared, “I’m here to clarify. The car shown in the photo belongs to me.”
Upon hearing this unexpected revelation, Kennedy’s expression stiffened, leaving him momentarily speechless as he worked to regain his composure.
The last thing he anticipated was that the car in question belonged to Timothy.
Stammering, Kennedy tried to defuse the tension, assuring, “Mr. Barrett, our sole purpose is to investigate the matter. There are no ulterior motives.”
Unfazed, Timothy casually sat on a nearby sofa, saying, “Feel free to carry on with your investigation.”
Turning her attention back to Kennedy, Mia handed over the incriminating evidence, stating, “Here’s the IP address of the individual behind the rumors.”
Holding the evidence, Kennedy cleared his throat nervously before declaring, “Rest assured, we’ll conduct a thorough investigation and won’t tolerate any falsehoods in our midst.”
Following his statement, Kennedy anxiously shifted his gaze toward Timothy and inquired, “Mr. Barrett, what are your thoughts on this?”
Little did anyone expect that Mia and Timothy shared a connection that was far from ordinary.
It became clear why Timothy had personally attended the award ceremony a few days ago It was all because
of Mia.
Timothy rose from his seat, exchanging a meaningful look with Mia, “Let’s go.”
Mia trailed behind him as they left Kennedy’s office. She stole a glance at him and expressed her gratitude, ” Thanks.”
“I just want to keep this from blowing up and reaching Grandma,” Timothy replied.
A hint of self–deprecation flashed in Mia’s eyes as she responded, “I understand,” choosing not to dwell on the
matter.
Timothy seemed a bit uneasy, asking awkwardly, “How did you manage to get the IP address of the person
who released the picture?”

Mia’s eyes drifted downward as she explained, “I asked a friend for a favor.”

Timothy’s gaze deepened as he wondered whether the friend she mentioned was, in fact, the award–winning
actor.
Experiencing a twinge of discomfort, he decided to be upfront, expressing. “I’m busy at the moment. If there’s
anything you need, please reach out to Heath.”
Surprised, Mia lifted her gaze, unsure of Timothy’s intentions.
“Try not to overanalyze this matter. If there’s something beyond your control, let Heath handle it. It’s wiser to
prevent things from escalating.” Timothy advised.
Mia responded with feigned nonchalance, “I get it. There won’t be any such incidents in the future.”
Agitated, Timothy briskly walked away from the campus building.
Heath maintained a respectful demeanor as he assured Mia, “Mrs. Barrett, Mr. Barrett is aware of the situation
on your end and will be on his way over.”
Mia offered him a smile without uttering a word.
She grasped that Timothy’s warning was a signal for her to steer clear of any trouble at this critical juncture to
spare Laura any unnecessary worry.
Mia thinks that Timothy’s urgency in handling the situation wasn’t rooted in concern for Mia. Instead, it was
driven by his consideration for Laura.
Nevertheless, she chose not to delve into further speculation.
Heath swiftly reassured Mia, saying, “You’ve got my contact details, Mrs. Barrett. Feel free to reach out
whenever you need.”
