Mia glanced over, her arms crossed firmly across her chest. "I must confess, my connection with Mr. Barrett is more than just a casual friendship."
"Are you admitting to having an inappropriate relationship with that magnate?"
Kennedy couldn't remain silent any longer. "What inappropriate relationship? What are you all being taught here? Mia's relationship with Mr. Barrett is genuine and morally upright!"
The students retorted, "Mr. Shaw, Mia has already confessed. Your clarification isn't required here. What kind of relationship between a man and a woman could be deemed appropriate?"
"Marriage, would that be considered legitimate?"
Suddenly, Timothy's deep, ominous voice resonated as he appeared in the office doorway, his towering figure exuding authority.
Dressed in a refined suit, Timothy's commanding presence stood out prominently among the others in the room.
A brief hush fell over the office as Timothy made his unexpected entrance.
Mia was caught off guard by his arrival.
Approaching her with a stoic expression, Timothy spoke in a subdued tone, "Are you being falsely accused?"
Mia pursed her lips. "It's just a slight misunderstanding."
Just then, Timothy gently placed his hand on Mia's shoulder, pulling her into a comforting embrace.
Turning toward the nearby students, Timothy asserted firmly, "My wife values her privacy and prefers to keep a low profile on campus, which unfortunately has resulted in some unfounded rumors.
"I'm here to clarify matters today. Mia is my wife."
As Timothy revealed this revelation, the entire room was left stunned.
