Chapter 922
Several other reporters spoke up as well, "Ms. Lane, considering the
prestige of the Barrett Group''s CEO and the prominence of the Barrett
family in Bern City, it''s unlikely that he would take on the role of a mere
bodyguard by your side."
"While we did notice a resemnce between the bodyguard wearing
sunsses and the CEO of Barrett Group, it''s insufficient evidence to
confirm his identity.”
"Ms. Lane, is it possible that Mr. Barrett is pursuing a personal interest
in you, prompting him to act as your bodyguard?”
At the moment, this seemed to be the most reasonable exnation.
Otherwise, why would the CEO of the Barrett Groupe to Nord City
and assume the position of a mere bodyguard? Such a narrative would
be difficult for anyone to believe.
Connie interrupted the reporters, wearing a displeased expression.
"What kind of questions are these? The bodyguard may resemble Mr.
Barrett, but he''s certainly not the CEO of the Barrett Group.
"Besides, why would someone as esteemed as Mr. Barrett take any
interest in Mia, especially considering she''s a divorced woman?"
Connie couldn''t tolerate these spections. It was obvious that Mia
was reaping the benefits of Lewis" interest in her.
However, despite this, the Lane family had turned down the proposal
for a marriage alliance with the Bowen family.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
For Connie, it felt like a personal affront. What value did a divorced
woman like Mia hold, anyway?
As a divorcee, Mia should consider herself fortunate to have any man
interested in her.
Just then, a luxurious car pulled up outside, immediately capturing
everyone''s attention.
Mia nced over and calmly remarked, "It''s about time. They should be
arriving soon."
No matter how tardy Caleb and Timothy were, they couldn''t possibly be
thiste.
Observing the luxury car outside, Lewis turned to Mia and quipped,
"So, are you saying that the penniless bodyguard and the phony Mr.
Gomez have arrived? It seems they''ve even managed to secure a
fancy car this time. I wonder where they rented it from?"
With that, the Bowen family''s rtives joined in on the mockery as well.
Connie chimed in, "Lewis, you''ve got a keen eye! It''s clear their car is
rented. How could a financially strained bodyguard possibly afford such
a luxurious vehicle?"
A sly smile painted Mia''s lips as she nced at Lewis and Connie.
Soon, their moment of embarrassment would unfold before their eyes.
Mia couldn''t help but feel a twinge of excitement as she anticipated the
uing scene.
As the car door swung open, Timothy and Caleb emerged.
Timothy was dressed in a finely tailored suit, reflecting his usual
professional attire. With each step, he exuded an aura of authority.
Timothy entered the hotel lobby with a serious expression, causing
almost everyone to turn their heads toward him and Caleb.
Considering the prominence of the individuals present, it was often
simple to gauge someone''s wealth with just a single nce.
At that moment, a subtle tension filled the air.
As Timothy caught sight of Mia, he headed straight toward her, his
steps unwavering and his gaze intense.
Reaching Mia''s side, Timothy leaned in and murmured, "Apologies for
the dy; traffic held us up.”
Mia responded casually, "I happened to be nearby running errands, so I
arrived a bit earlier.”
Some journalists nearby couldn''t help butment, "Wow, this guy
really does resemble Mr. Barrett.”
“I''ve seen interviews with Mr. Barrett before. It''s not just a simrity;
he''s practically a dead ringer.”
"Could it really be... him? Mr. Timothy Barrett himself?"
Connie interjected with a scoff, her disdain evident, "It''s just a
resemnce, nothing more. Just because someone looks like Mr.
Barrett doesn''t mean he''s automatically the CEO of the Barrett Group.
Can you imagine a CEO stooping to the level of a penniless
bodyguard?"
