Chapter 556
As Mia opened the car door and stepped out, she found shelter from the rain
under the umbrella Timothy
held. 1
Facing him, she suggested, “Let me borrow your umbrella for now. I can handle it
from here. You should
head back.”
It dawned on Mia that she had forgotten to inform her brothers of her arrival.
However, Timothy remained unmoved. “I'll walk you over.”
Just then, Dominic's voice reached them, “Mia!”
Mia subtly turned her head and indeed spotted Dominic and Claude. They, too,
had noticed Timothy standing beside her. The atmosphere tensed momentarily.
Dominic approached swiftly, his expression cold as he confronted Timothy, “What
are you doing here?”
Claude’s demeanor turned hostile. “Timothy, I made it clear last time to stay away
from my sister. She’s not someone you can toy with. Didn't you get the
message?”
Turning his gaze to Mia, Dominic urged, “Mia, come here.”
Emerging from beneath Timothy's umbrella, Mia approached Dominic. He
handed her another umbrella.
Take this. You and Claude go ahead. I need to have a few words with Timothy.”
Sensing the tension escalating, Mia urgently grasped Dominic's arm. “Dominic!”
“Mia, listen to me!”
Dominic's voice remained resolute as he advanced to confront Timothy. “Mr.
Barrett, since you
you appear to be disregarding the warnings from me and my brothers, I'll just
have to demonstrate what happens when
you mess with my sister!”
With that, Dominic delivered a punch straight at Timothy, sending his umbrella

She realized that his right arm was likely injured from protecting her just

Observing her getting soaked, Timothy swiftly retrieved the fallen umbrella and
sheltered her. “Are your crazy? Why are you rushing out into the rain?”
Mia reached out and gave his right arm a gentle squeeze, causing Timothy to
grimace and inhale sharply.
Turning to Dominic, she pleaded, “Dominic, his arm is injured. Please don't hit
him anymore.”
Seeing Mia defend Timothy, Dominic suppressed his frustration. “Mia, injustice
isn't acceptable. Please
go upstairs first!”
However, Mia stubbornly refused to budge.
Sensing the tension, Claude swiftly interjected, “Dominic, considering Timothy's
injured arm, it wouldn't
be fair to engage in a fight now.
“Let's postpone it for another day. Today, let's just teach Timothy a small lesson.”
Mia pursed her lips and added, “Dominic, Timothy got injured while trying to
protect me just now.”

Feeling exasperated, Mia interjected, “Dominic, Timothy was simply giving me a
ride home. It has always
been me who likes him.
“In reality, he has no romantic feelings for me at all, so there’s nothing
inappropriate about his intentions.”
