Mia watched as Sharon and Edith grappled with each other, her eyes involuntarily shifting toward Timothy nearby.

He had thought this secret was securely guarded, shared solely between himself and Laura. However, Sharon's evident awareness of the situation took him by surprise. Indeed, this revelation should have been a crushing blow to Timothy.

Nonetheless, he remained remarkably composed and stoic, showing no visible signs of distress at the unfolding chaos.

Turning to Mia and the children, Timothy calmly directed, "Take the kids and wait in the private lounge. I'll handle things here and join you shortly."
