Chapter 406
Maya’s expression soured. “Mia, I’m a wealthy heiress. You can’t possibly compare yourself to me.”
Mia replied nonchalantly, “You’re right, I can’t match your shamelessness.”
With that, Mia entered the elevator and left.
Frustrated, Maya stomped her foot. She had intended to visit Laura in the hospital, but the security guards intercepted her, preventing her from getting close.
On the other hand, Mia was able to effortlessly enter the hospital room.
Maya couldn’t help but boil with frustration.
Nonetheless, she found solace in the anticipation of Mia’s upcoming embarrassment at the college’s
music show.
Maya couldn’t wait to watch Mia stumble awkwardly through playing the piano on stage.
After leaving the hospital, Mia hailed a taxi and headed back to campus.
As Mia was on her way, her phone buzzed with an incoming call from Jason.
“Mia, there have been some significant developments in Felix’s case. The fraud charges against him
have been substantiated.
“It looks like he’ll be facing several years behind bars. As for Janice, who pushed you, she’s been
sentenced to a year in jail as well.”
Upon hearing this, Mia pursed her lips slightly. “I understand. But what about the case where Felix had
his leg broken?”
Mia’s curiosity intensified as she pondered how Timothy had navigated the ordeal.
Jason hesitated for a moment before replying. “There wasn’t enough evidence for that matter, so it didn’t
proceed. Timothy isn’t implicated.”
“I see.” Mia replied, knowing full well that Timothy wouldn’t face any repercussions.
“Jason, I appreciate your assistance. I’ll treat you to coffee later as a token of my gratitude. But for now, I need to rest for a while before my afternoon lectures,” Mia said as she stifled a yawn.
“Sure thing. Mia. Take care and don’t overwork yourself,” Jason replied.
After ending the call, Jason reviewed the investigation results before him, which showed the following headline: “Mia Bowen is married to Timothy Barrett.”
This news was difficult for Jason to digest, and he spent the entire morning trying to process it.
It suddenly made sense to him why the relationship between Mia and Timothy had always seemed
peculiar.
It also explained why Timothy had promptly mobilized resources to locate Mia when she was abducted by Bob and Mary.
Furthermore, it shed light on why Mia had been evasive when he asked about her relationship with Timothy outside the police station last time.
Jason straightened his tie before dialing Connor’s number. “Are you busy? I need to ask you something.
“I’m available at the moment. What is it? If it doesn’t concern Mia, can we discuss it after I’m done with work tonight?” Connor replied.
“It’s about Mia. What’s her connection with Timothy? Jason inquired.
Upon hearing this, Connor said bluntly. “You’ve discovered it, haven’t you?”
