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 resemblance between the bodyguard wearing sunglasses 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 explanation.

Otherwise, why would the CEO of the Barrett Group come 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 esteeme

    With a mischievous grin, Caleb quipped, "Where's the Barrett Group's branch office representative for the Bowen family? They should be here by now, right?"Caleb was eager to witness the Bowens facing the consequences of their actions.Lewis replied, "It's not time yet. Why the rush?"Mia shot Caleb a meaningful look before adding, "However, there's something you should know. There's a Mr. Gomez here from Bern City, claiming to be you. Would you like to meet him?""Is that so? The last I heard from the Bowen family, they mentioned encountering a Mr. Gomez. So, he's here now, huh? Where is he? I'd like to see who's bold enough to impersonate me and deceive others!"Caleb hadn't anticipated the imposter's appearance at today's event. He was prepared to confront him personally and ensure he faced the consequences for his deception, even if it meant using force!Connie quickly declared, "Mr. Gomez is right here."However, as she turned around, he was nowhere to be found.A bystande

    With such a talent for deceit, what was the point of pursuing honest, hard work?"Mr. Gomez, I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention. I was simply following orders from someone else; I did it for the money," the young man quickly apologized. The revelation sent shockwaves through the crowd. No one had anticipated that the impostor would have ties to the Bowen family!A journalist exclaimed eagerly, "So, it seems this man is indeed a fraud! Ms. Lane has actually brought the real Mr. Gomez!""Who would have thought someone would have the audacity to impersonate others and swagger around deceiving people?" another reporter added.Observing the entire ordeal, Connie stared at the young man in disbelief. "What... What did you just say? So, you're the impostor, and he's the real Mr. Gomez?"But how could this be true?The revelation left Lewis visibly shaken, his anger simmering as he confronted the young man."Weren't you the one referred by the Barrett Group's branch? Didn't you claim t

    Caleb sternly warned, "Consider yourself lucky that you've only lost an arm. But if I catch wind of you exploiting my identity for any other purpose, this won't be the end of it."The young man hastily responded, "I swear, I won't do it again. I only impersonated you to help facilitate the partnership with the Bowen family. I didn't engage in anything else."Turning his attention to Lewis, Caleb remarked, "You shouldn't be addressing me right now. Your apology should be directed toward him. He's Timothy Barrett, the CEO of the Barrett Group, the very person you were supposed to be partnering with."Lewis wore a guilty expression as he glanced at Timothy, unable to muster a single word.His previous disdain toward Timothy now left him utterly humiliated.Adding to his embarrassment, Lewis had even resorted to physical confrontation with Timothy in the past, unaware of Timothy's status as the CEO of the Barrett Group.But why would someone as high-ranking as Timothy stoop to the le

    The Bowens remained silent, unable to come 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 accusingly. "Mr. Barrett, it's because of this woman that you're not partnering with our company, 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 is com

    "Shut up! Enough with the talking. How on earth am I supposed to solve this?"Lewis felt himself sinking into despair. He had believed the partnership was solid this time, a lifeline for the Bowen family.But this absurd twist blindsided him completely.Who would have thought that the humble bodyguard beside Mia was actually the CEO of Barrett Group? How were they going to salvage this situation now?Caleb cast a disdainful glance at Connie and Lewis before speaking firmly, "Do you really think that terminating this cooperation is the end of it all? Just because we haven't asserted ourselves in the past doesn't mean we won't take action now."After all, how could the esteemed elites of Bern City possibly tolerate being slighted by a mere upstart family like yours?"With a hint of indignation, Connie protested, "It's just a partnership termination. Are you seriously considering targeting the Bowen family?"Remember, this is Nord City, not Bern City. Our family wields influence he

    Caleb's silent thoughts echoed, "Tim, as your buddy, I can only assist you to this extent. If you don't step up now, when will you?"Nonetheless, Timothy was no fool.With a cold, penetrating glare, he shifted his focus to Connie and Lewis. "If you apologize to Mia immediately and clarify the false rumors regarding the alleged engagement, then I might contemplate sparing the Bowen family."Despite this, Connie remained hesitant. "Mr. Barrett, what is it about Mia that has captured your interest?"Connie had always viewed Mia with contempt, given her status as a divorced woman with a child. Despite Mia's position as the heiress of the Lane family, Connie believed she deserved significantly less respect.However, to Connie's surprise, the CEO of the prestigious Barrett Group in Bern City was deeply infatuated with Mia, even willing to act as her humble bodyguard.Timothy locked eyes with Connie as he stated, "I have chosen to be with her."Timothy's words stoked Connie's simmering

    As Timothy's words faded, silence settled over the room, dominating the atmosphere.The reporters exchanged puzzled glances, their eyes hinting at the brewing gossip. Did Timothy just claim Mia as his wife?Unable to resist, a reporter posed the question, "Mr. Barrett, is it true that Ms. Lane is your wife?""Mr. Barrett, did you have a previous romantic involvement with Ms. Lane?"Upon hearing the journalists' inquiries, Mia shot Timothy a frantic glance. Was he out of his mind? Why did he disclose such information to the media?Mia urgently signaled to Timothy with her eyes, pleading for him to stop.The last thing she wanted was to become the center of gossip!However, Timothy simply nodded at the reporters. "That's correct."Mia swiftly interjected, "Timothy, what on earth are you telling the reporters? There's absolutely nothing between us."Timothy met her gaze squarely. "If there truly was nothing between us, then how do you explain our child?""Timothy, please stop,"

    Mia's lips twitched with irritation as she stepped forward, seizing Timothy's tie in her grip.The surrounding reporters watched with widened eyes, stunned by the unexpected turn of events.Speaking in a low voice, Mia addressed Timothy, "Well played, Mr. Barrett."She couldn't fathom why he would pull such a stunt in front of the reporters.Unfazed by Mia's agitation, Timothy leaned down to meet her gaze. "The media has been spreading rumors about you being a divorced single mother. I don't want to see them tarnish your reputation.""Timothy, just stop. You're here today for the signing ceremony to address the fraudulent contract with the Bowen family. "Don't veer off topic and indulge in nonsensical banter with the media. They're not interested in our personal affairs!" Mia snapped.The nearby reporters couldn't help but inwardly grumble, "Really? We're utterly engrossed in this gossip and are eager for them to reveal more. Otherwise, what will we have for tomorrow's headline

    None of the major shareholders was a fool.After that, Mia was busy handling Barrett Group affairs and barely had time to rest.With an exhausted look, she returned to the hospital.Mia looked at Timothy and said, "I'll run away if you don't wake up soon.""No… Please don't go…" Timothy grabbed her hand. His gaze was deep.Mia's eyes reddened as she gazed at the man who had just regained consciousness. Timothy finally came out of his coma.After that, everything was back to normal. Those who caused trouble quieted down.Sharon visited Timothy and told him that she was going to settle down overseas and would not come back anymore.Timothy bought her a property and gave her a huge sum of money before sending her away from Bern City.As for Maya, it was discovered that she was not the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island but merely his caregiver. Yet, she had been deceiving people outside.After Maya was exposed, she ran away dejectedly. Nobody knew where she was

    Sage stood beside Timothy in silence.Soon, news that Timothy was hospitalized spread, and Barrett Group's stock plunged.The relatives of the Barrett family requested to hold a board meeting to elect another CEO.On the day of the board meeting, Mia brought her two children to Barrett Group.They managed to keep everyone on a leash as Sage bore a striking resemblance to Timothy.Mia marched into the meeting room, sat in Timothy's chair, and glanced at everyone present. "Let's begin. Didn't you all want to have a meeting?"One of the middle-aged men said, "Ms. Lane, this is the Barrett Group board meeting. It's not appropriate for you to be here.""That's right. Though the kids are Mr. Barrett's children, they're still young and do not have any shares. You all shouldn't be here."Mia flung a document onto the table. "This is an agreement signed by Grandma Laura to authorize me to manage Timothy's shares.""Anyway, we still need to elect a CEO to handle our company affairs.""

    "Because to me, you're my family too," Timothy said.When Sharon heard the word 'family', her eyes turned red. Then, she turned around and left the ward.Mia walked out and asked Peyton to send Sharon to the hospital for a checkup.Looking at Sharon's back, Mia said, "I hope you don't let him down since he regards you as his family. He's the only one you can depend on now."Sharon did not turn her head around. Mia did not know if Sharon would listen to her advice.Mia immediately called her brother. "Dominic, I met Maya."She then told him everything about Maya.Dominic frowned. "I never thought she would go to Yellow Island.""Do you think she's really the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island?""Don't you know how good she is at lying?" Dominic said.Mia nodded. "Yeah, you're right. But I still don't know whether she's related to Yellow Island.""Don't worry, I'll find out."When Mia returned to the ward after ending the call, she saw a doctor bustling arou

    Mia went straight to the hospital to ask Timothy about the matter.But when she arrived, someone had reached there earlier than her."Timothy, what do you mean? All I did was pull a few strings, but you want to humiliate me publicly. How am I going to maintain my standing in the company?" Sharon said.Mia went in with a frown. "This is funny. It's not just about pulling a few strings, but it's aimed at me. Mrs. Barrett, your actions have leaked confidential commercial information.""Stop trying to scare me. It's my son who opened doors for you. It's the Yellow Islanders who wanted to collaborate with us, and they are much better than you," Sharon retorted. Mia said with a half-hearted smile, "At first, I didn't want to pursue this matter. But since you put it this way, wait for my lawyer's letter then.""Such big talk, huh?" A mysterious-looking woman wearing a hat and a mask walked in from outside.Mia felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar. "Are you the rumored granddau

    Mia glanced at the person on the screen. Without answering the woman, she turned off the laptop.After all, there was no need for Mia to explain anything.After Mia turned off the laptop assertively, she turned around and looked at Timothy. He did not say a word but started eating.Soon, Heath received a call. He left the ward and said to the woman on the other side of the phone, "She's Mr. Barrett's ex-wife. You'd better not mess with her."While Timothy was eating, Mia finished reading the proposal in her hand.She had to admit that the document was very valuable.Mia was about to leave the ward when Timothy almost finished eating, but his voice sounded behind her. "What did you say when you met her at the cafe earlier?""Did you follow me?""I followed her, to be exact. After all, the Hopkins are not good people."Mia totally agreed with that.She paused briefly before she said, "Grandma Laura asked me to talk to her because she doesn't agree with you about giving her all

    "You don't know anything," Sharon said.Mia retorted, "I might not know everything, but Timothy is innocent. Before he knew the truth, he always regarded you as his mother. Even after he found out the truth, he has never mistreated you."Besides, when you said you wanted the Barrett family's wealth, he agreed. Tell me, who else could do what he did?"Mia felt that Timothy might have been hurt by Sharon's words.He seemed impressive on the outside, but his identity was a dark secret.Therefore, his relationship with Sharon became awkward.Sharon's eyes reddened. "But I also treat him like my biological son.""You're also his foster mother. Now everyone related to him is dead, and you're the only one he has. What are you afraid of?"Sharon wiped off her tears. "I'm not afraid of anything. It's just that I felt that I can't trust anyone.""Timothy is a man of his word. However, Grandma Laura said that if you remain stubborn, making the will public is her only option," Mia said.

    Mia noticed Sharon's expression changing slightly when she mentioned Laura.Sharon took her cup of coffee and said, "What? Does Mrs. Barrett Senior still want to lecture me even when she's on her deathbed? She must have known Timothy's identity all along, but she conspired with her son to keep the truth from me. "She and the Barretts are birds of a feather. What else does she have to say?"Mia was not surprised by her words. She had expected that Sharon would certainly think this way.Fortunately, she managed to stop Laura when she said she wanted to meet Sharon.Sharon was emotionally unstable now. What if Laura said something unpleasant and Sharon retorted? Her words might upset Laura.Mia took a kraft envelope out of her handbag and placed it in front of Sharon. "I hope you won't regret saying those words after reading this.""What's this?""This is the will that your husband left behind, as well as the divorce agreement."Hearing that, Sharon quickly took the document out

    Mia hesitated to risk exposing Laura to Sharon's potential agitation.Due to Sharon's emotional vulnerability, she often spoke impulsively. With Laura's delicate health in mind, any disruption was simply out of the question.As Laura recounted past events, Mia remained silent, absorbing her words.Upon hearing Laura's story, Mia was taken aback. She hadn't expected there to be hidden aspects to Timothy's family history.Taking a moment, she asked, "Does Timothy have any knowledge of this?""He doesn't. Some things are best kept from him," Laura replied calmly.Mia harbored some lingering questions in her mind. Unable to suppress them any longer, she asked, "Considering your knowledge of Timothy's background, what is your opinion of him?""Tim is a commendable young man, and he has never let our family down. He has achieved remarkably well for himself. To be honest, I feel indebted to him as well."At first, I only kept him around for the sake of preserving the Barrett family li

    Despite her initial reluctance, Mia eventually found herself making her way to Timothy's ward.As she entered, she couldn't help but notice Timothy's expressionless demeanor as he lay there.Carrying a tray of food, Mia approached him. "The doctor pointed out your extreme fatigue. It's crucial that you increase your food intake and prioritize proper rest to reduce the risk of sudden complications."Upon hearing Mia's voice, Timothy lifted his gaze to find her seated beside him. His lips moved slightly as he asked, "What did you tell Luna?""Not much," Mia responded. "Just a sprinkle of salt on the wound and a dash of psychological pressure to make sure Luna doesn't have it easy in prison."Placing the tray of food in front of him, Mia urged, "Please, just a few bites.""I'll eat later. By the way, the kids have been here at the hospital for quite a while. You should take them home," Timothy suggested.Frowning, Mia insisted, "You should eat something first."As her words faded,
