Filed to story: Mia Bowen and Timothy Barrett Novel
That was why she looked into the IP address when the article about Felix broke out. She didn’t ask for help from Nathan.
Based on her legal knowledge from Jason, Mia chose to forget about this issue after the article was deleted.
Gina was still angry. “What right does he have to do that? Why must you fall for him? I didn’t know he’s such a narcissist! Anyway, something feels off. Just be careful.”
“I know.” With her six brothers supporting her, nothing of this scared her.
However, there was something that Mia missed¨Cdeleting the article wouldn’t clean the traces.
Soon, the rumor reached Kennedy’s ears. The bombshell sent him shaking. “I told you guys to revoke the following investment for Felix’s studio, didn’t I?
“Add this to the list¨Ctake down promotions about him and prohibit him from entering the campus!”
An insensible man would only bring the college down. Kennedy had never known Felix to be a man who would live off his spouse, let alone his bad choice.
Felix should’ve known his place better, not laying his eyes on Timothy’s wife!
Kennedy contacted Timothy right away, wanting to explain the situation. But it was Heath who picked up the call.
Still, Kennedy went on with it. “We deleted every record of that article and banned the students from talking bout it. We hope Mr. Barrett won’t be mad about it. We disapprove of Felix’s shameful deeds.”
Heath acknowledged the issue and initiated an investigation. He was shocked several times at the content of the investigation..
Felix seriously didn’t know what he was getting himself into. Previously, he had confessed to Mia right in front of Timothy. Now, he spread the rumors himself!
Timothy showed up after meeting an important client. He cast Heath a glance. “What is it?”
“Mr. Shaw called. It’s about Mrs. Barrett. Would you like to know?” Heath felt the need to ask for
After all, Timothy actually avoided the divorce by taking upon a business trip to a neighboring city himself.
Timothy loosened his tie and walked outside while saying, “Tell me. What happened to her in college again?”
“Take a look at this first.” Heath handed over the tablet.
Although the article was deleted, someone screenshotted it.
Heath could feel the temperature drop as Timothy read the content. “Did Felix manage to start up his studio with the resources from that college?”
“According to the reports, yes. He enjoys the benefits.”
“Talk to Mr. Shaw. You don’t need me to tell you what to do, do you?” Timothy was getting all grumpy.
Timothy was never a forgiving man.
Felix was a nobody to Timothy, but Felix kept hitting on Mia. A normal man could never put up with it.
Timothy added, “Find some men to break his legs. Warn him to stay away from my wife!”
Timothy’s icy gaze pierced through Heath. Someone should teach Felix a lesson so that he wouldn’t bother Mia. Breaking his legs might be a good warning for him.
Timothy cleared his throat, his expression slightly awkward. “What about Mia?”
“Mrs. Barrett? What about her are you asking about, sir?”
“Is this all you know? She must’ve seen the article. Did she not take any move?” As far as Timothy could recall, Mia didn’t like Felix.
That question put Heath in a tough spot. “We’re still on a business trip, Mr. Barrett. I’m not her stalker. How would I know anything about her?”
Timothy’s silence prompted him to continue. “Actually, you can ask her yourself.”
Timothy sneered, “Your bonus for the month is revoked.”
If he could ask her himself, he wouldn’t have asked Heath.
In the meantime, Heath was shocked by the sudden announcement. What did he do wrong that he lost his bonus?
Timothy scrolled through his phone, completely laid back. He eventually found Mia’s Twitter account and he clicked on it.
She tweeted this morning. “Someone who goes against their word? That’s the worst of all kinds.”
His eyes narrowed to a slit momentarily. He had a feeling that it was about him.
When did he go against his word?
Then, he left a comment under that tweet. “Someone who doesn’t respect time? That’s the worst of all kinds.”
Right after he commented on Mia’s tweet, she tweeted a photo. “The sunlight adds magic to the campus today.”
Timothy relished in the picture she took. The sunset was indeed breathtaking.
On the other side, Mia noticed his comment. “Someone who doesn’t respect time? That’s the worst of all kinds.”
It ticked her off so much. How dare he!
She had her reasons. Her tardiness wasn’t intentional. Besides, she had gone to the courthouse as soon as she could!
He was the one who was desperate for the divorce, so why couldn’t he wait for an hour?
Fury rushed through her veins, reaching her head. In the end, Mia contacted him to demand an explanation.
Timothy saw the dialer’s name, and a smile appeared. He could sense her boiling anger from that immediate call already.
Calmly, he picked up the cold.
Her livid voice rang in his ear. “Timothy Barrett, what is that?”
“It is what it is.” His tone was calm.
“Weren’t you the one desperate for a divorce? You’ve been waiting for this day for eons! And why couldn’t you wait for an hour?” That was the part she couldn’t understand.
Timothy’s eyelids twitched at that. But his tone remained monotonous. “I could’ve waited. But could you make a flight wait? I was in a rush for a business trip. I didn’t have much time to spare.”
Mia almost choked on her saliva. “You’re on a business trip? You’re not in Jeinburg?”
“Yes. What else?”
“When are you coming back?”
He knew exactly why she asked that.
“Not sure. It depends.” He glossed it over.
Mia’s lips pursed together. “Call me when you’re back in the city. We can make another appointment to meet at the courthouse.”
That put a damper on his mood more than he expected. He dropped his gaze as he hummed in response.
Mia hung up the call, Inwardly Insulting Timothy again and again.
She didn’t expect Timothy to have a business trip on the same day, which served as the reason he couldn’t wait for her.
Her hand caressed her belly, feeling the slight bump that carried two small lives in it.
Laura underwent the surgery a few days ago when Shelly was testing the water, trying to figure out if Mia was pregnant.
Although Mia managed to sell that off to Shelly, who knew if Shelly would do something foolish with it? No matter what, Mia wished Shelly could wise up.
Right then, Claude texted her, “Mia, I’m here!”
That message elicited a smile from her. Regardless of Shelly’s schemes, the other alternative to get out of it was Mia going to Bern City and starting life anew.
“Coming,” she replied to him.
Claude glimpsed at his phone before grinning at Connor. “Mia said she’s coming. I have never picked up my sister from school before. Say, do you think she’d like my present?”
Connor’s eyes shifted to the present in the back seat, remaining silent.
He felt the urge to remind Claude that Mia was already a grown¨Cup, not a kid.
Connor had tried to talk Claude out of it along their way there but it was all in vain. Feeling helpless, Connor got out of the car.
Out of sight, out of mind.
To his surprise, he noticed a familiar face¨CFelix!
Connor narrowed his eyes at the red roses in Felix’s hands. Could it be that it was for Mia?
Felix’s feelings for her were transparent to Connor as Felix kept helping Mia out.
If it hadn’t for Felix’s heroic act during Mia’s kidnap episode, Connor would’ve warned him to stay away from her.
Felix, who was pacing back and forth at the gates, sensed a piercing gaze. His head shot up only to see Connor.
Felix’s eyes lit up. If he couldn’t win Mia’s heart, wouldn’t it be the same to earn favors from her brothers?
