Mia was utterly bewildered. Little did she expect to bump into Connie in this hospital. It was a small


    world indeed.


    The fact that Connie thought that Mia was here to apologize was even more absurd. Connie''s audacity


    was truly palpable!


    It seemed like the Bowens hadn''t learnt their lesson. They were still as arrogant as always and didn''t


    hesitate to abuse their power.


    Connie had walked up to Mia while she was still stunned.


    Connie hollered, "You''re nervous because we''re about to close the deal with the Barretts, aren''t you?


    Well, it''s toote for you to apologize now. I won''t forgive you.


    "We won''t ept you into our family as well. You used to look down on us, but you''ll have a taste of


    your own medicine now."


    Mia''s gaze darted between Connie and her attendant. "I''d like to ask whether there''s anything wrong


    with Mrs. Bowen. Is her brain injured?" Mia asked nonchntly.


    Otherwise, it wouldn''t exin the absurdity of her speech now.


    "Mia, do you think I can''t sense your insinuation? I have a perfectly sound mind now, even after you


    guys schemed for me to be hospitalized after a concussion. My son will definitely target the Lanes once


    he cooperates with the Barretts. You Lanes will pay a heavy price by then,” Connie retorted.


    Mia was getting tired of Connie''s threats. Frustrated, she turned toward Timothy and asked, "Are you


    guys really going to cooperate with the Bowens?"


    She thought she''d just told him yesterday to hurry back to Bern City and contact his subordinates so


    they could investigate this matter thoroughly. She really couldn''t stand the sight of the Bowens making


    a fool of themselves every single time. She doesn''t even feel a sense of achievement when dealing


    with their pure stupidity.

    Timothy replied coldly, "I''ve already sent someone to investigate this matter. Regardless of what the


    previous team negotiated with the Bowens, it''s impossible for us to work with the Bowens under my


    watch."


    Mia nodded and nced at Connie. "Did you hear that? The Barrett family isn''t going to cooperate with


    the Bowens. Stop daydreaming.” Timothy wasn''t a fool either. Why would he still cooperate with the


    Bowens after they''d called him a gigolo right in his face? They might be retards, but he certainly wasn''t


    one.


    Connie snorted. "What do you mean? Isn''t he your bodyguard? What makes him have a say in this?"


    Mia contemted for a while and said, "He''s the one in charge of the Barrett family, so he certainly has


    a say in this. You im that you''re going to cooperate with the Barretts, but apparently, you can''t even


    recognize the CEO of Barrett Group."


    "The CEO of Barrett Group? Don''t tell me this loser right here is the CEO of Barrett Group,” Connie


    said, her tone tinged with mockery.


    Mia nodded. "That''s right. You might not believe it, but he really is the CEO of Barrett Group.” She had


    expected Connie to be taken aback by this information.


    However, Connie burst into a fit ofughter in the next instant.


    "Mia, I know you''re scared. But still, it''s wrong of you toe up with such a ridiculous excuse to fool


    us. He''s just a broke bodyguard. How could he possibly be the CEO of Barrett Group?"
