Upon hearing Heath's words, Mia couldn't resist giving him a thumbs-up, appreciating his sharp and satisfying response.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer purpose for being here today was precisely to witness Lewis and Connie's reaction to the truth and their subsequent humiliation.
It seemed Mia's visit had indeed been worthwhile.
Though Lewis was seething with anger, he knew it wasn't the tto argue back. However, Connie felt differently. She had never faced such humiliation before.
Advancing toward Mia, Connie pointed accusingly. "Mr. Barrett, it's because of this woman that you're not partnering with our company, isn't it?" Mia raised an eyebrow, puzzled by how she was being dragged into the situation.
She retorted sharply, "It's because you mistook the distinguished CEO of the Barrett Group for a mere bodyguard and even insulted him. Did you suffer from amnesia or something? It appears you've forgotten rather quickly. This situation is completely unrelated to me!" "But isn't it because he's been employed as your bodyguard? Who would have guessed a bodyguard would turn out to be the CEO of the Barrett Group?" Connie argued.
Timothy interjected calmly, "I chose to serve as her bodyguard." Connie was perplexed. "What's your goal here?" "To pursue her. Why does it concern you?" Mia was momentarily taken aback by Timothy's words. She couldn't help but steal a glance at him. Did he just publicly say he was pursuing her? It was clear he was only sticking around because of Ginger, not because of any interest in her! Struggling to accept the situation, Connie blurted out, "Mr. Barrett, this woman isn't as straightforward as you may think. Despite her appearance as the heiress of the Lane family, she's actually a divorced woman with a child. Don't let her deceive you." Unfazed, Timothy calmly replied, "Well, I happen to like divorced women with children." Connie was taken aback by imothy's response. "Mr. Barrett, it eems your standards are rather 4.

My laughter Isabella outshines her in every aspect." ¡wConnie hoped that Timothy's potential interest in Isabella could repair the partnership between the Bowen family and the Barrett family.

Sensing that tensions had reached their peak, Caleb intervened, stating, "Alright, let's refocus on the main agenda for today." Turning toward the nearby media reporters, Timothy declared, "The Barrett Group has never sanctioned any partnership with the Bowen family.
"The recent events were instigated by the subsidiary's general manager and do not represent the position of the Barrett Group. "I am here today to personally clarify this matter, and I hope you all can understand the full context of the situation." Following Timothy's statement, Heath added, "Our PR team at the Barrett Group will reach out to each of you shortly. We look forward to staying in touch in the future." Upon hearing this, the reporters nodded in agreement. "Rest assured, Mr. Barrett. We will ensure clarity on this matter." Indeed, establishing a connection with the Barrett Group could pave the way for future opportunities in Bern City, and the reporters were eager to maintain a positive relationship with them.
Witnessing this, Lewis' demeanor grew solemn as he fell silent, seemingly weighed down by the gravity of the situation.
Meanwhile, Connie was in a state of panic. "Lewis, what's our plan?+How do we handle this? Didn't you say that this partnership were to end, it would be catastrophic for the Bowen family?"
