Layla was doomed.
Looking at Layla's face which was now drained of any color, Mia didn't have any pity for her. If it weren't for her identity, she would've fallen victim to her accusations.
Just then, Mia spotted Timothy. He strode in with his bandaged arm, looking slightly pale. She didn't expect him to return from the hospital that soon.
It wasn't possible. The hospital was quite a distance from her college, and he couldn't have returned in such a short period of time. The only possibility was that he didn't even visit the hospital—he merely went to the infirmary.
Timothy's arrival had people swooning over his looks as well. He took long, wide strides toward the VIP area and sat next to the Lane brothers.
Kennedy stammered hastily, "L-Let's continue."
Mia went back to her seat, but she had a constant feeling that someone was watching her. Uneasiness swallowed her as the auction reached its end.
Kennedy was giving a speech on the stage. "That's a wrap of this splendid event! A big thank you to Mr. Barrett from Barrett Group for your support. We'll be delighted to hear a few words from you on stage."
Baffled, Mia glanced over at Timothy. Wasn't he hurt?
As expected, Heath went on stage and handed the microphone to Timothy instead. His long and slender fingers twined around the microphone as he spoke in a low timbre, "I apologize for not being able to go on stage due to my injury. Regarding today's event …"
Mia's gaze was fixated on his arm. She remembered his injury was quite severe. Why did he return when he should've been at the hospital?
