Chapter 165
Nathan’s words instantly triggered an alert among the brothers on the other end of the phone.
As Dominic read the tweet, an uneasy expression settled on his face. “Jason, does your legal team know what
steps to take?” he inquired.
With a stern demeanor, Jason replied. “I’m aware. It’s crucial that we apprehend the anonymous poster and
put them behind bars. I won’t tolerate such behavior.”
Without delay, the five brothers embarked on an investigation, determined to unravel the truth behind the
malicious rumor.
Following the call with Nathan, Mia found herself restless, grappling with a pounding headache that robbed
her of a tranquil night’s rest.
In the morning, she freshened up and headed to work, considering it was a weekend with no scheduled
classes.
As Mia stepped into the office, she noticed a significant number of people present.
However, upon entering the studio, an unusual silence enveloped the space, creating a somewhat awkward
atmosphere.
Mia was aware of the reason behind this unsettling ambiance.
Wilhelmina sneered, “Well, well, well, look who decided to show up. Are you oblivious to the widespread
rumors surrounding you?
“Many studios are reaching out, questioning whether our studio’s success is merely a result of female designers trading favors.
“How do you suggest the women in our studio maintain their dignity amid such speculation?”
Regaining her composure, Mia responded, “Just like yesterday, these allegations are nothing but baseless
rumors. I’ll be reporting it to the police.”
Upon the mention of “reporting to the police“, a tinge of guilt crossed Wilhelmina’s expression. After all she
was the one who had drugged Keegan.
Yet now, she was deflecting all the blame onto Mia.
If Mia decided to make a report, would Wilhelmina’s actions eventually come to light?
Nonetheless, with Shelly in mind, Wilhelmina felt a surge of confidence–perhaps there wouldn’t be any complications, would there?
Without hesitation, Wilhelmina fired back. “Who can say for certain? What if it’s just a case of crying wolf?
Your presence in the studio is undeniably affecting us.

“So, what’s your suggestion for dealing with this situation?”
The rest of the female designers mirrored equally solemn expressions. Indeed, rumors like these were precisely what women feared the most.
Stepping out of his office, Felix wore a displeased expression. “Mia, I didn’t anticipate this situation escalating to such an extent. It’s having a significantly adverse impact on the studio.”
Mia gave him an apologetic glance and reassured him. “I understand. I’ll take care of it.”
Suddenly, her phone rang, and for a fleeting moment, she assumed it was Nathan calling.
However, upon checking the caller ID, it turned out to be a call from Timothy.
This unexpected twist caught Mia off guard. She glanced up at Felix and said, “Sorry, I need to take this call.”
Entering the pantry area, she answered, “Hello?”
*Is making headlines your new hobby, Mia?” Timothy quipped sarcastically.
Seated in his office chair, Timothy scrutinized the trending topic on his computer screen with narrowed eyes, a
hint of coldness in his gaze.
