Chapter 554
After uttering those words, Jolene walked away, leaving Ramona standing alone
in the pouring rain.
Ramona'’s eyes brimmed with jealousy and disbelief as she exclaimed, “I refuse
to believe it! I just can't!”
To her, Mia had been nothing but an orphan, struggling financially during their
school days. How could
she have possibly become a wealthy heiress now, with a billionaire ex-husband?
Seated in the car, Mia couldn't hold back a sneeze, causing her to rub her nose
as she imagined Ramona
outside, likely cursing her.
Despite the heavy rain outside, the luxurious confines of the car provided a
tranquil sanctuary.
Timothy offered her a tissue, and without hesitation, she accepted it, using it to
wipe her nose. Just at
that moment, her phone finally rang.
It was Dominic on the line. She promptly answered, “Hello, Dominic, what's going
on?”
“Where are you? It's pouring outside. I had to call the driver over for an urgent
matter today. I didn’t
expect Claude to assign him to you.
“I just realized you haven't returned home. Where are you? We'll come pick you
up.” Dominic's tone was
tinged with anxiety. 1
Had he been aware beforehand that Antonio would be assigned to Mia, he
wouldn't have called him over
for assistance.
To him, even his brothers weren't considered worthy of utilizing his car.
Sitting next to Dominic, Claude intervened on the call, “Mia, I take full
responsibility for this confusion.
“Antonio assumed there was a prior arrangement on your end and didn’t mention
anything, leading to
this mix-up.”
Claude hadn't anticipated Dominic calling Antonio over for an urgent matter
today, and he had also forgotten to inform everyone in the group chat that
Antonio was assigned to Mia.
Mia finally grasped the reason behind Antonio’s absence. It was simply a
misunderstanding.
Che reaccured them calmly “It's alright. I'm already on the way home. I'll be back
soon, so there's no

need to worry.”
Frowning. Dominic questioned. “Is your classmate dropping you home?”
A profound silence fell over the vehicle, the voice from the phone ringing clearly
through the quiet space.
Upon hearing Dominic's question over the phone, Timothy instinctively glanced at
Mia, curious about her
response.
Raising an eyebrow, Mia replied, “I'm currently in a cab. It's safe, and the driver is
maintaining a steady
pace.”
“Good to hear. Once you're outside the neighborhood, give us a call, and we'll
come get you.”
“Sure thing. Bye, Dominic.” As she ended the call, Mia couldn't help but notice
Timothy's gaze fixed upon
her.
Meeting his eyes calmly, she questioned, “Why are you staring at me like that?
Do I have something on
my face?”
Timothy hesitated momentarily but couldn't help asking. “So, you're taking a cab,
huh?”
He had thought she would say that her classmate was dropping her off, but he
was surprised when she
said she was taking a cab instead.
Mia reclined slightly in her seat and responded casually, “Yeah, pretty much.”

the truth, huh?”
Mia's anger flared. “I'm doing this for your sake. If my brothers found out, do you
seriously think you
could handle them?”
She simply wanted to avoid trouble and prevent any potential conflicts.

“After my exams, I suppose,” Mia replied, glancing up at him. “Timothy, why are
you so interested?”
Timothy's demeanor shifted awkwardly. “I'm just trying to make conversation.”
“Timothy, you're not attempting to stir up trouble, are you?”
