Sharon avoided eye contact upon hearing that. "I came to take care of your uncle's issue."
Timothy frowned. "I will take care of that. You don't have to come all the way here yourself. Besides, you're on probation. If the police find out you're here, your punishment will be more severe."
He didn't expect her to sneak to Nord City.
Veronica defended, "Tim, if we keep this a secret, no one will know that Sharon sneaked to Nord City. Still, you have to be careful that someone else might snitch on Sharon to intensify the severity of the punishment."
Mia noticed that Veronica was implying her to be a potential snitcher.
Well, the fact that Veronica pointed it out might provoke Mia to do so.
A pristine smile was plastered on Mia's face. "You're right. I will call the police from Bern City immediately, reporting to them that you've sneaked to Nord City during probation."
Sharon became jittery. "How could you be this evil, Mia Lane? I came here just to take care of something personal, not anything else. Why can't I come?"
Veronica agreed, "Sharon's right. Why can't she come? It's not like she's doing something illegal."
"According to Bern City's law, those who are on probation are prohibited from leaving their house without permission. It'll increase the severity of the punishment. In cases of serious offenses, actual imprisonment is imposed," Mia coldly stated the facts.
The color drained from Sharon's face.
When Mia was going to make a call, Sharon quickly pulled Timothy's arm. "Stop her, Tim! I don't want to be punished and sent to prison!"
If word of her going to prison got out, she could never hold her head high in Bern City anymore. She was supposed to be the richest lady in the city!
