Chapter 259

Mia gazed at Timothy in confusion. Her predicament had escalated unexpectedly, and she had assumed her brothers would be the first to learn about it.

Upon hearing the helicopter earlier, she even briefly considered the possibility that her brothers might have come to her rescue.

However, it turned out to be Timothy.

Timothy narrowed his eyes. “What’s the matter? Are you disappointed to see me? Who were you expecting?”

“I just thought it might be the police descending from the sky. Is there an issue with that?”

Swaying her foot, Mia continued in a sarcastic tone, “Given your hectic schedule, I hadn’t anticipated you taking such a hands–on approach and swiftly stepping into the forefront. It’s quite unexpected, to be honest.”

“Don’t overthink it. I simply wanted to avoid any rumors about my wife being taken to the mountains for an arranged marriage. Just think about the impact on my reputation if that

information were to leak.”

Mia lowered her gaze, realizing that Timothy’s swift arrival wasn’t motivated by concern for her.

Just then, Timothy rose to his feet, clutching his first aid kit. “Given your chattiness, I’ll be on my

way.”

Witnessing his heartless departure, Mia suddenly felt a pang of anxiety. “Hey, are you really just

going to leave like this?”
