“Like I said, he''s just a broke, lowly bodyguard! How could he be the CEO of Barrett Group? No one


    will believe you no matter how you put it!


    "Mia, there''s still time to regret this. I''ll consider sparing the Lanes as long as you serve me well


    tonight," Lewis said, his tone dripping with lust.


    Mia clenched her fists instantly. She itched to punch Lewis in his face, and she was on the verge of


    cursing him to his end.


    Seeing how the Bowens mocked her, Timothy immediately snarled, "I''ll call Caleb and have hime


    here right away."


    Timothy had no interest in intimidating others to assert himself. In Bern City, he didn''t have to stoop so


    low to prove his identity. Yet, little did he expect people to mistake him as a poor bodyguard when he


    hid his identity in Nord City. All he wanted was to get close to Mia and his child by keeping a low profile.


    He took his phone out and called Caleb promptly. His call was answered in a heartbeat.


    "What''s up, Tim? How did things go?"


    Caleb offered to spend time with Ginger upstairs so Timothy could talk to Mia in private.


    "Come downstairs now," Timothy said calmly. Without any further exnation, he hung up swiftly.


    Lewis sneered. "Are you trying to deceive us by saying that you''ve just called Caleb?"


    "Yeah," Timothy replied nonchntly.


    "His schedule is confidential, and not everyone has ess to his personal contact. Even I can only


    reach him through his work number, and his secretary is in charge of handling his phone. Who would


    believe you if you im that Mr. Gomez answered your call?"


    "Yeah, even Lewis could only contact him through his work number. What makes you think that you can


    reach his personal number?" Connie chimed in.


    "I was indeed talking to him earlier,” Timothy snapped.


    Mia raised an eyebrow. "Just because you''re incapable of doing it doesn''t mean that others can''t.”


    "Come on, Mia. Considering his convincing act, I admit that he''s a pretty good actor. Didn''t you start a


    filmpany recently? Why don''t you make him an actor instead? He might even make it big in the


    industry. Why pretend to be the CEO of Barrett Group?" Lewis mocked. Bursting into a fit ofughter,


    Connie added, "How hrious! He imed that he''d just called Mr. Gomez, acting like he''d just asked


    him toe down immediately. A truly convincing act, indeed!


    "Mr. Gomez is the second powerhouse in Bern City, having his wealth spread all around the globe. He''s


    not even inferior to the Lanes. How could your bodyguard just order him around?"


    Lewis stared at Mia. "You''re pretty, but you''re also divorced with kids. Sure, you might''ve met Mr.


    Gomez and talked to him a few times before, but do you really think he''ll do you a favor? Stop


    daydreaming, Mia."


    Mia met his eyes and said, “The truth will be unveiled once Calebes down. You''ll find out whether


    it''s an act and whether I''m daydreaming or not."

    "Alright, I''m looking forward to it. Will Mr. Gomez really show upter? However, shouldn''t you pay a


    price if your bodyguard is lying?" Lewis peered at her lecherously.


    “You''ll find out who should pay a price once Caleb is here," Mia replied.
