Observing Jeremy’s outstretched hand holding the business card, Mia couldn’t help but nce at Timothy. “Isn’t it considered polite to ept a business card when it’s offered?” she remarked.
Timothy arched his eyebrows mockingly. “Does he even deserve to hand me his business card?”
Jeremy’s demeanor shifted abruptly. “What do you mean by that?”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
As a wealthy heir, Jeremy had never encountered such tant disregard before<strong>.</strong>
Nheless, a sense of unease crept over him, especially considering the extravagant Rolls–Royce parked nearby–an opulence reserved for the elite.
“Well, the chairman of yourpany has personally handed me his business card. He requested investment in an artificial intelligence project that seemed to be short on funds.” Timothy’s toneremained indifferent as he stood in the rain.
Yet his presencemanded attention, casting a shadow over those around him. Despite his passive stance, he exuded an aura of authority, seemingly towering above everyone else.
Jeremy’s expression grew uneasy upon hearing Timothy’s words.
He too was aware of the artificial intelligence project. Indeed, the chairman of Truist Financial was currently in discussions with the Barrett Group, hoping to secure investment from the CEO.
Could it be that the man before him was the president of the Barrett Group?
Jeremy awkwardly retracted his hand, a subtle reluctance flickering in his eyes.
If Timothy was truly the president of the Barrett Group, Jeremy understood that provoking him wascertainly not a risk he could afford to take.
Yet, despite the implications, Jeremy remained somewhat skeptical of Timothy’s identity..
Considering Mia’s social status, how could she possibly have connections with someone of Timothy’scaliber?
Even Jeremy himselfcked the credentials to engage with someone of that stature. Typically, only thpany chairman would be entitled to such interactions.
Jeremy couldn’t help but suspect that Timothy might be a high–ranking executive from the Barrett Group.
Observing Jeremy’s awkwardness, Mia stole a nce at Timothy before her. Was he there to unt hiswealth?
Timothy remained in front of Mia, holding his umbretta. Til drop you home<em>,</em>” he dered.
With his striking appearance and confident demeanor, Timothy exuded an air of indifference toward thesurrounding crowd.
Mia stood in ce as the female ssmates nearby cast admiring nces. This handsome and affluentman had personallye to escort Mia. How romantic!
Witnessing their interaction, Ramona, consumed by jealousy, couldn’t resist but interject. “Excuse me, sir, are you acquainted with Mia?”
Upon hearing Ramona’s voice, Timothy turned his gaze toward her. His features were strikingly handsome, and his gaze exuded a sense of calm authority.
Ramona’s cheeks flushed instantly as she continued, “Mia is nothing but a fraud. She’s actually anorphan, and her family is poor.
“Everything she unts now is just a facade, provided by her sugar daddy who showers her with clothesand bags!”
Timothy regarded Ramona with aposed expression before inquiring. “And who might you be?”
“I’m Ramona Tilbert, Mia’s ssmate. I’ve known her since childhood, and I can vouch for the kind ofperson she is.
“Back in school, she relied on sugar daddies due to her financial struggles. Her personal life was quitetumultuous, to say the least.”
Mia smirked and nodded, “Go on. Is there anything else?”
Ramona’s confidence grew as she continued, “There’s plenty more, sir. You might not be aware that Mia<strong>was</strong>once a top student, but she abruptly<strong>dropped</strong>out from college for an older, wealthy man.
“Now, I reckon she can’t even bear children. After the old<strong>man</strong>got tired of her, he divorced her and tossedher out like trash!”
Jolene eagerly joined in, “Exactly! Mia may appear innocent and kind, but her background is quiteplicated.
“She dropped<strong>out</strong>of college to chase after an older man for his money. She’s nothing but a gold digger!”
With each word, Timothy’s expression grew darker. Did Mia truly abandon her education for the sake of arich older man?
Suppressing herughter, Mia nodded. “Yes, you’re correct. I did drop out of school for an older, wealthyman.
“Three years into the marriage, I ended up being swept out the door, just another victim of my foolish romantic notions.”
