When Mia heard the familiar voice, she turned around and saw it was Jason.


    Her eyes lit up in a pleasant surprise and she ran over to him. “I thought you left.”


    A few days ago, Jason hade to North City specifically to stand up for her and teach Felix a lesson.


    However, since she had made a deal with Felix, the matter was dropped.


    She had thought Jason had returned to Nord City, given his busy schedule.


    Jason affectionately patted her head. “I happen to have a case here. But what a coincidence. Since


    Felix refuses to take the hint, you don’t have to go easy on him now.”


    Recalling what Timothy had said about Felix and how he had used his broken leg to threaten Timothy


    into helping him, Mia had enough.


    With how things had turned out, she would confront him head–on.


    She nodded. “Alright, the hospital’s surveince footage and my medical records are still avable. It’ll


    be quick if we file a case.”


    She suddenly felt a piercing gaze behind her.


    Mia turned around slowly and met Timothy’s eyes. She lowered her eyes and followed Jason to report


    the case.


    Watching from the sidelines, Timothy’s gaze fell on thewyer beside Mia. Who was this man?


    Awyer?


    Timothy’s mood soured as he walked over to Heath. “Find out who that man is.”


    Heath nced at the man and immediately replied, “He must be Jason Lane, the topwyer in Nord


    City.”


    “He’s from the Lane family?” Timothy’s brows furrowed at the mention of the Lanes. It was another


    person from the Lane family.


    No wonder!


    Considering Mia’s rtionship with Connor, it didn’t seem strange for someone from the Lane family to

    intervene. However, Timothy couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off.


    Mia seemed unusually close to the Lanes.


    After Mia had dealt with the matter on her end, she prepared to leave the police station with Jason. She


    didn’t even spare a nce at Timothy as she passed him.


    The two brushed past each other.


    After leaving the police station, Mia breathed a sigh of relief. Jason hesitated beside her. “Mia, are you


    still close to Timothy?”


    “No, it was just a coincidence. Jason, you know I’m close to Timothy’s grandmother. It’s why Timothy


    wanted to help me.”


    “Is that really the case, Mia?” Jason questioned.


    Mia felt guilty and nced at Jason. “Why are you suddenly asking about this, Jason?”


    *Based on the information I’ve gathered, you initially came to the police station with Felix to testify


    against Timothy for assault. But just now, you imed you remembered wrongly. Mia, is there some


    history between you and Timothy?”


    Mia was rendered speechless by the question. She hadn’t expected Jason to already know so much.


    She couldn’t hide it anymore.


    She pursed her lips. “I thought Felix was being bullied, butter I found out Felix wasn’t a good person.


    He got what he deserved, so I changed my statement.”


    Jason knew Mia wasn’t telling the whole truth, but he could tell she didn’t want to talk about it. So, he


    didn’t press further. However, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more than meets the eye


    between Mia and Timothy.


    Mia left the police station with Jason and went back to school. She still had sses in the afternoon.


    Back in school, Mia’s gut feeling was screaming at her that something bad might happen.
