Chapter 115
Suddenly, a chilling, resonant voice sliced through the tension within the office.
Mia turned around, her eyes locking onto Timothy’s silhouette by the doorway. His towering and
commanding presence seemed to eclipse the ambient light.
Yet, amidst the gravity of the moment, a peculiar flutter stirred within her heart.
Timothy’s authoritative aura filled the space as he entered the room.
Kennedy quickly interjected, “Mr. Barrett, what brings you here?”
Timothy’s eyes held a piercing intensity as he declared, “I’m here to clarify. The car shown in the photo
belongs to me.”
Upon hearing this unexpected revelation, Kennedy’s expression stiffened, leaving him momentarily
speechless as he worked to regain his composure.
The last thing he anticipated was that the car in question belonged to Timothy.
Stammering, Kennedy tried to defuse the tension, assuring, “Mr. Barrett, our sole purpose is to
investigate the matter. There are no ulterior motives.”
Unfazed, Timothy casually sat on a nearby sofa, saying, “Feel free to carry on with your investigation.”
Turning her attention back to Kennedy, Mia handed over the incriminating evidence, stating, “Here’s the
IP address of the individual behind the rumors.”
Holding the evidence, Kennedy cleared his throat nervously before declaring, “Rest assured, we’ll
conduct a thorough investigation and won’t tolerate any falsehoods in our midst.”
Following his statement, Kennedy anxiously shifted his gaze toward Timothy and inquired, “Mr. Barrett,
what are your thoughts on this?”
Little did anyone expect that Mia and Timothy shared a connection that was far from ordinary.
It became clear why Timothy had personally attended the award ceremony a few days ago It was all
because
of Mia.
Timothy rose from his seat, exchanging a meaningful look with Mia, “Let’s go.”
Mia trailed behind him as they left Kennedy’s office. She stole a glance at him and expressed her
gratitude, ” Thanks.”
“I just want to keep this from blowing up and reaching Grandma,” Timothy replied.
A hint of self–deprecation flashed in Mia’s eyes as she responded, “I understand,” choosing not to
dwell on the
matter.
Timothy seemed a bit uneasy, asking awkwardly, “How did you manage to get the IP address of the
person
who released the picture?”

Mia’s eyes drifted downward as she explained, “I asked a friend for a favor.”

Timothy’s gaze deepened as he wondered whether the friend she mentioned was, in fact, the award–
winning
actor.
Experiencing a twinge of discomfort, he decided to be upfront, expressing. “I’m busy at the moment. If
there’s
anything you need, please reach out to Heath.”
Surprised, Mia lifted her gaze, unsure of Timothy’s intentions.
“Try not to overanalyze this matter. If there’s something beyond your control, let Heath handle it. It’s
wiser to
prevent things from escalating.” Timothy advised.
Mia responded with feigned nonchalance, “I get it. There won’t be any such incidents in the future.”
Agitated, Timothy briskly walked away from the campus building.
Heath maintained a respectful demeanor as he assured Mia, “Mrs. Barrett, Mr. Barrett is aware of the
situation
on your end and will be on his way over.”
Mia offered him a smile without uttering a word.
She grasped that Timothy’s warning was a signal for her to steer clear of any trouble at this critical
juncture to
spare Laura any unnecessary worry.
Mia thinks that Timothy’s urgency in handling the situation wasn’t rooted in concern for Mia. Instead, it
was
driven by his consideration for Laura.
Nevertheless, she chose not to delve into further speculation.
Heath swiftly reassured Mia, saying, “You’ve got my contact details, Mrs. Barrett. Feel free to reach out
whenever you need.”
With those words, he left. Mia returned to the study hall soon after.
Back at home, Mia addressed her brothers‘ inquiries in a composed manner, explaining, “The issue hasnovelbin
been
sorted out, thanks to Nathan’s help.”
Nathan casually replied, “It’s no trouble at all. If you ever face similar problems in the future, don’t
hesitate to
reach out to me.”
Mia expressed her gratitude with a playful emoji.
Receiving support from her family provided Mia with a sense of comfort when facing challenges. It
reassured
her that she didn’t have to face these obstacles alone..
Soon after, the post on the campus forum was taken down, and an official statement quickly debunked
any idea of insider information influencing Mia’s award.
In the aftermath, Taylor faced disciplinary repercussions from the college. Moreover, her guaranteed
admission to graduate school was revoked.
Approaching Mia, Gina expressed her surprise, “I never thought Taylor would stoop to that level.”

“While there’s no real conflict between you two, she couldn’t handle seeing you succeed and
deliberately
spread false rumors to harm you.” Gina continued.
“In the investigation of the IP address this time, we unearthed a history of similar misinformation. This
added weight to her punishment. She got what she deserved!” Gina said triumphantly.
