The elevator reached the first floor. The passengers exited it and it became spacious.


    However, the olddy and the boy blocked the way out of the elevator, not nning to let Mia and


    Timothy leave.


    The olddy didn’t stop her rant. “Exin! How could you not respect the elderly and care for the kids a


    single bit?”


    Mia, who was still standing in the corner, raised her head to nce at Timothy and whispered, “We’re

    here.”


    In other words, he didn’t need to shield her anymore.


    Only then did he straighten his back and take a few steps backward. The atmosphere became stranger


    for some reason.


    She could feel her face burning as well. Slowly, she lifted her head to see his broad shoulders.


    Spinning around, Timothy noticed the olddy blocking the way and frowned.


    That was a rare moment for him to encounter such a preposterous incident since he was used to


    private


    hospitals.


    Soon, Heath showed up with a group of bodyguards. The formidable figures stood behind the olddy.


    who didn’t stop running her mouth.


    Feeling the cold air behind her, she turned her head only to see a group of bodyguards.


    Their fierce looks zipped her lips at a heartbeat.


    In a trembling voice, she said, “What are you trying to do? Are you a gangster? I–I’m telling you! My


    son is one of the higher–ups in Barrett Group. If you upset me, he will never let you get away with it!”


    Mia burst into a chuckle upon hearing that..


    What are the odds?


    Mia nced at the olddy. “How bold. Then, do you know who this young handsome man is? He


    works at Barrett Group, too.”


    The olddy straightened her back. “That’s different. My son’s a higher–up. He’s way up

    there.”


    “I think it was the development department. Why? Are you going to seek revenge through him? Save

    Then, she saw a middle–aged maning through the entrance. “Son,e here! Someone’s picking


    on


    mel”


    There was a shift on his face when he noticed Timothy. His voice stammered. “M–Mom, what did you


    do?


    “Son, they ganged up on me in the elevator! They even called over these men in ck to beat me up!


    How could they do this in a civilized society?” Her son’s arrival buoyed her up,


    Timothy shed a meaningful smile at the middle–aged man. “Is this your mother?”


    “I’m so sorry, Mr. Barrett. She’s from the countryside, so she doesn’t know how things work in the city.


    Please don’t take it to the heart.” The middle–aged man feared.


    The olddy was taken aback by her son’s respectful attitude toward Timothy. “Son, who is he?”


    Mia cast her gaze at her. “Didn’t I tell you that he works at Barrett Group, too? He’s the president.”


    “President? The boss of thepany?” Her low educational background was enough for her to


    understand what the president of apany meant.


    She knew that she had caused trouble now.


    “Mom, apologize to Mr. Barrett. Hurry!” urged the middle–aged man.


    Timothy interrupted. “Save it. Hand in your resignation letter to the Human Resources Department


    tomorrow.”


    The middle–aged man’s face fell. “Mr. Barrett, please give me one more chance! This is a


    misunderstanding!
