Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen )
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 andcommanding 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 photobelongs to me.”

Upon hearing this unexpected revelation, Kennedy’s expression stiffened, leaving him momentarilyspeechless 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 toinvestigate 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 theIP address of the individual behind the rumors.”

Holding the evidence, Kennedy cleared his throat nervously before declaring, “Rest assured, we’llconduct 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 allbecause

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 hergratitude, ” 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 todwell on the

matter.

Timothy seemed a bit uneasy, asking awkwardly, “How did you manage to get the IP address of theperson

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. Ifthere’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’swiser 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 thesituation

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 criticaljuncture to

spare Laura any unnecessary worry.

Mia thinks that Timothy’s urgency in handling the situation wasn’t rooted in concern for Mia. Instead, itwas

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 hasbeen

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’thesitate 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. Itreassured

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 debunkedany idea of insider information influencing Mia’s award.

In the aftermath, Taylor faced disciplinary repercussions from the college. Moreover, her guaranteedadmission 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 anddeliberately

spread false rumors to harm you.” Gina continued.

“In the investigation of the IP address this time, we unearthed a history of similar misinformation. Thisadded weight to her punishment. She got what she deserved!” Gina said triumphantly.
