Mia felt an unprecedented urge to slap Connie's face at that moment.
She waited anxiously, with every passing minute feeling like an eternity.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhere was Caleb? Why hadn't he shown up yet? With a smug look on her face, Connie remarked, "Mia, your broke bodyguard claimed Mr. Gomez would be here soon. Where is he? It's been quite a while, and he's still nowhere to be seen." "Mia, are you perhaps worried about being caught in a lie, which is why you're saying he won't come? Just apologize, and I'll let today's incident go. I won't spread any rumors about your penniless bodyguard pretending to be the CEO of Barrett Group," she added, her tone dripping with mockery.
Mia's disdain was palpable as she responded, "You expectto apologize to you? Perhaps in another lifetime." Connie immediately retorted, "So, Mia, if you're so confident and unwilling to admit your mistake, then where's this Mr. Gomez your bodyguard promised would arrive? His absence seems to confirm your deception, doesn't it?" Connie's attendant added, "Perhaps they're concerned about their lie being exposed, so they're deliberately coming up with excuses for Mr. Gomez's absence." "You never know," Connie remarked. "They might just resort to that tactic later on. Let's just wait and see." Connie and her attendant's expressions oozed with contempt.
Mia's lips twitched in disdain at their words. It was evident that these individuals had no sense of shame.
Despite their current arrogance, they would soon taste the bitterness of humiliation when reality inevitably caught up with them. Nonetheless, Mia couldn't shake the nagging question of why Caleb hadn't appeared yet. It wouldn't take him long to cdownstairs, so what was causing the delay? In this crucial moment, his absence could complicate matters.
Mia's tolerance for the Bowen family's arrogance had reached its limit. Today, she was determined to shatter their sense of superiority once and for all! Meeting Timothy's gaze, Mia silently urged him to contact Caleb.
Timothy swiftly took out his phone and dialed Caleb's number. "Where are you? Why haven't you cdown yet?" "I'm in the elevator right now, on my way down. I got held up on a work call." Moments later, Caleb stepped out of the elevator.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing Caleb, Mia let out a sigh of relief. Addressing Connie and Lewis, she remarked, "Are you convinced now?" Mia had been holding her breath, awaiting this moment to unleash her pent-up frustration.
With Caleb's arrival, they could finally prove Timothy's identity.
Approaching with a puzzled look, Caleb glanced between Mia and Timothy What's going on? Why did you callover in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?" "Well, there is indeed an urgent matter, and it's concerning you," Mia replied cryptically.
She turned to Caleb and explained, "Speople have uncertainties regarding Timothy's identitet suspecting that he might not be the CEO of Barrett Group but simply a humble bodyguard accompanying me. That's why I've brought you here-to confirm Timothy's position." Caleb's expression shifted to one of surprise as Mia spoke. "Well, isn't this intriguing," he said, clearing his throat. "It's rare these days for anyone to question Tim's identity. He used to stroll around Bern City like he owned it, looking down on everyone. But to encounter such skepticism in Nord City... that's truly surprising. It's, um, quite unusual." However, Caleb decided not to utter the phrase "serves him right" because he was wary of potential repercussions from Timothy later on.
Glancing at Connie and Lewis, Mia challenged them, "Is it clear now? He's Timothy Barrett." Confusion flickered across Connie's face, and a hint of unease crept into her voice. "Lewis, is this man truly Mr. Gomez?"
