Chapter 845

As Mia proceeded down the corridor, her eyes fell upon a disturbing scene: a man was forcefully pinning down a woman, his voice dripping with rage as he threatened her, "II warned you! If you don't comply, I'll make sure you regret it, and your reputation will be in tatters!" Instantly recognizing the man as Chuck Jones, the same individual Timothy had mentioned earlier, Mia's blood boiled.

How dare he create such a scene at her business gala? It was an outright affront!

With a stern expression, Mia intervened, "Chuck, what do you think you're doing?"

Chuck paused momentarily, casting a defiant glance in Mia's direction. "This is none of your concern. If you continue to ruin my mood, I might just vent my frustration on you later!"

Ignoring Mia's presence, Chuck continued his aggressive behavior toward the woman, utterly disregarding her words.

Without hesitation, Timothy sprang into action, delivering a swift kick to Chuck, sending him crashing to the ground.

Meanwhile, Mia grabbed a nearby fire extinguisher from the corridor and aimed it at Chuck, deliberately directing a stream of foam toward his legs.

Chuck exclaimed in agony, "Mia, are you trying to get yourself killed?" Mia tossed the fire extinguisher aside and fixed Chuck with a steely gaze. "The only one in danger here is you."

Hearing the commotion, Chuck's bodyguards swiftly rushed over. Enraged, Chuck shouted, "What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and apprehend that woman for me! Today, I'm going to teach her a lesson!"

Mia stared at the two bodyguards sternly. "If you don't want to end up in serious trouble, you better take him and leave right now!"

Sensing the gravity of Mia's words, the two bodyguards quickly escorted the hysterical Chuck away from the event venue.

Mia was seething with anger. She approached the injured woman and asked, "Are you alright? Do you need me to call the police for you?" The woman, huddled up and visibly injured, tearfully nodded her head in gratitude. "Thank you."

Turning to Timothy, Mia instructed, "Remove your jacket."

As Timothy's hand began to comply, he noticed the arrival of the other bodyguards.

Glancing at Miguel, Timothy ordered, "Take off your suit jacket and give it to her."

Miguel hesitated briefly, but without a word, he removed his jacket and handed it over.

Mia gestured for the woman to put on the jacket, then turned to Miguel. "Escort her to the hospital for a check-up, and ensure this incident is reported to the police."

"Sure thing, Ms. Mia."

After seeing the woman off, Mia returned to the banquet hall, her demeanor now somber. A scandal like this at today's event could have dire consequences if word got out.

Mia halted and turned to Timothy. "Why didn't you take off your jacket when I asked you to?"

"I don't like other women wearing my clothes," Timothy responded firmly.

Mia paused for a moment before responding, "But you just offered me your jacket earlier."novelbin

"You're my woman, so it's different," Timothy asserted.

Mia's expression shifted uneasily. "Who said I'm your woman? We ended things on the plane."

As Mia's voice faded, she spotted Peyton approaching. "Inform the m public relations team immediately about this incident. We need to ensure there are no mishaps," Mia instructed.

Peyton hesitated before speaking up, "To contain this situation kit might be e. best not to involve the authorities."

Mia adamantly refused, stating, "But that woman is a victim here t'hen right to file a police report if she wishes. I have no grounds to intervene." As a woman herself, Mia undoubtedly stood in solidarity with the victimized young woman.

Just then, Timothy approached and questioned, "But don't you think this entire situation seems too coincidental?"
