Chapter 926
The Bowens remained silent, unable toe up with a rebuttal.
Upon hearing Heath''s words, Mia couldn''t resist giving him a thumbs-
up, appreciating his sharp and satisfying response.
Her purpose for being here today was precisely to witness Lewis and
Connie''s reaction to the truth and their subsequent humiliation.
It seemed Mia''s visit had indeed been worthwhile.
Though Lewis was seething with anger, he knew it wasn''t the time to
argue back. However, Connie felt differently. She had never faced such
humiliation before.
Advancing toward Mia, Connie pointed usingly. “Mr. Barrett, it''s
because of this woman that you''re not partnering with ourpany,
isn''t it?"
Mia raised an eyebrow, puzzled by how she was being dragged into the
situation.
She retorted sharply, "It''s because you mistook the distinguished CEO
of the Barrett Group for a mere bodyguard and even insulted him. Did
you suffer from amnesia or something? It appears you''ve forgotten
rather quickly. This situation ispletely unrted to me!"
"But isn''t it because he''s been employed as your bodyguard? Who
would have guessed a bodyguard would turn out to be the CEO of the
Barrett Group?" Connie argued.
Timothy interjected calmly, “I chose to serve as her bodyguard.”
Connie was perplexed. "What''s your goal here?"
"To pursue her. Why does it concern you?"
Mia was momentarily taken aback by Timothy''s words. She couldn''t
help but steal a nce at him. Did he just publicly say he was pursuing
her?
It was clear he was only sticking around because of Ginger, not
because of any interest in her!
Struggling to ept the situation, Connie blurted out, "Mr. Barrett, this
woman isn''t as straightforward as you may think. Despite her
appearance as the heiress of the Lane family, she''s actually a divorced
woman with a child. Don''t let her deceive you."
Unfazed, Timothy calmly replied, “Well, I happen to like divorced
women with children.”
Connie was taken aback by Timothy''s response. "Mr. Barrett, it seems
your standards are rather low. Why would you be interested in a
divorced woman with a child? My daughter Isabe outshines her in
every aspect.”
Connie hoped that Timothy''s potential interest in Isabe could repair
the partnership between the Bowen family and the Barrett family.
However, Timothy''s blunt retort shattered that hope. "Your daughter
isn''t attractive enough.”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Watching from the sidelines, Mia was taken aback by Timothy''s ability
to provoke others.
Sensing that tensions had reached their peak, Caleb intervened,
stating, "Alright, let''s refocus on the main agenda for today."
Turning toward the nearby media reporters, Timothy dered, “The
Barrett Group has never sanctioned any partnership with the Bowen
family.
“The recent events were instigated by the subsidiary''s general manager
and do not represent the position of the Barrett Group.
“I am here today to personally rify this matter, and I hope you all can
understand the full context of the situation.”
Following Timothy''s statement, Heath added, "Our PR team at the
Barrett Group will reach out to each of you shortly. We look forward to
staying in touch in the future.”
Upon hearing this, the reporters nodded in agreement. "Rest assured,
Mr. Barrett. We will ensure rity on this matter.”
Indeed, establishing a connection with the Barrett Group could pave the
way for future opportunities in Bern City, and the reporters were eager
to maintain a positive rtionship with them.
Witnessing this, Lewis’ demeanor grew solemn as he fell silent,
seemingly weighed down by the gravity of the situation.
Meanwhile, Connie was in a state of panic. “Lewis, what''s our n?
How do we handle this? Didn''t you say that if this partnership were to
end, it would be catastrophic for the Bowen family?"
