Chapter 444
The voice on the other end of the phone was unusually calm. "Mia, you didn't do anything wrong. The problem
lies with the way people think."
"I know, but I don't want this to continue gaining attention," Mia said hesitantly.
Vivian sighed. "Alright, I'll pull the post down now."
"Thank you, Vivian," Mia said, though her face still showed nothing but worry.
She had no idea how to help Sarah turn the situation around.
Sitting in Vivian's office, Mia absentmindedly twirled a pen between her fingers. More than anything, she wanted
to see Sarah.
"Vivian, | want to—"
Before she could even finish her sentence, Vivian had already nodded. "Go ahead. I'll handle things here."
"Vivian, you're the best."
Mia immediately left and headed straight for Adams University.
When she arrived at the entrance, she saw that Mrs. Mendes was still kneeling outside, her face full of despair as
she clung to her daughter's black-and-white photograph.
The media were still there, waiting for any new development.
It didn't take long for someone to recognize her. Cameras flashed as a reporter shouted, "Isn't that Mia Reynolds
from the Reynolds family?"
The next moment, microphones were shoved in her face.

"Miss Reynolds, is the statement you posted online true?"
"Miss Reynolds, did your brother ask you to post it? There are reports that you have a psychological condition—
can you tell us what it is?"
"If Sarah Sanders is your psychologist, how far along are you in your treatment?"
Mia didn't want to answer any of them.
She only wanted to get to the counseling office and check on Sarah.
Trapped in the crowd, she felt lost for a moment before her eyes landed on Mrs. Mendes.
The grieving mother sat there, clutching her daughter's picture, looking as though she had lost everything. She
had been here for days, waiting for justice.
Even Mia, who wasn't easily swayed, felt a pang of sympathy.
But no matter how heartbreaking the sight was, the dead could not be brought back.
Just then, a security guard at the gate recognized her and quickly stepped in to help, escorting her inside.
When she finally reached the counseling office, she immediately noticed Sarah's exhausted state.
Dark circles shadowed her eyes-proof that she hadn't slept well in days.
"Sarah, are you okay?" Mia asked cautiously, afraid of saying something that might upset her.
Sarah gave her a gentle smile. "I'm fine. What about you? How did you get past all the reporters at the gate?"
She had seen Mia's statement online.

Mia sighed, still feeling overwhelmed. "They did stop me. There were a lot of them, and they asked so many
questions that | didn't even understand."
"If you don't understand, don't bother
listening," Sarah said reassuringly,
"Ignore them, But arérDyotr afraid

Mia covered her mouth and giggled. "I barely go hthese days-I have plenty of time. As long as Vivian
doesn't stop me, | can cand go as | please."
"Did someone tell you to post that clarification yesterday?" Sarah asked.
She was almost certain it hadn't been Zachary. He was too cautious about the media to have encouraged
something like that.
Mia thought for a moment before
answering. "It was Vivian. She said |
should post it to ep Ryu

Sarah's expression turned cold. "That's very generous of her. If it weren't for her, the post wouldn't have gained
so much attention so quickly."
Mia immediately picked up on Sarah's shift in tone. Confused, she asked, "Sarah, what's wrong?"
"Mia, don't cto campus for the next few days," Sarah said, her voice firm. "There will be even more
reporters at the gates."
