Chapter 871
Nonetheless, the Lanes' clear disdain for Timothy was a welcome sight for Dylan.
At that moment, Connor directed a hostile glance toward Dylan and asked, "And who might you be?"
Feeling uneasy, Dylan promptly clarified, "Hello, Mr. Lane. I work at Ms. Lane's company. She and I had plans for dinner tonight.
"But unexpectedly, Ms. Lane ran into the Bowens in the restroom, and Mrs. Bowen ended up injuring her."
Though Dylan felt reluctant to divulge, keeping silent might implicate him further with Timothy.
Besides, it was widely known in Nord City that the Lane brothers were fiercely protective of their younger sister.
Upon hearing this, Connor finally grasped the situation. "The Bowen family sure has some nerve, don't they? Assaulting Mia like that! They're getting way too cocky!"
Despite this, Connor's animosity toward Timothy remained palpable. Seeing all his bodyguards lying defeated at Timothy's feet, Connor was taken aback. "Seems like you're quite skilled, huh?" he grumbled. "Get more reinforcements here, now!"
Connor couldn't believe it. Was Timothy seriously gaining the upper hand in the Lane family's territory in Nord City?
Shortly after, over ten additional bodyguards arrived. Despite Timothy's prowess, he was quickly outnumbered.
As Dylan observed from the sidelines, his expression became increasingly complex. Why was Timothy still refusing to leave?
Did he truly want to risk his life?
"Stop!"
A commanding voice echoed from the elevator, abruptly halting the altercation.
Upon hearing the interruption, Connor glanced up, his expression clouded with displeasure.
Spotting Jason, he immediately frowned and retorted, "Why are you stopping me? Every time this Barrett bastard appears, trouble follows Mia. He's nothing but bad luck!"
As Connor's outburst ceased, the other bodyguards also halted their actions.
Timothy sat alone on the ground, visibly battered with bruises, his shattered sunglasses scattered nearby.
Jason approached without sparing Timothy a glance, addressing Connor instead, "There's a lot of attention on the Lane family right now. Causing a fatal incident in the hospital won't bode well for us.
"If you wish to deal with him, please find a more discreet location." Observing from the sidelines, Dylan was taken aback. Wasn't it a bit too risky to discuss such matters in front of Timothy?
Nonetheless, Timothy remained unfazed by Jason's words, showing no signs of intimidation.
As a seasoned lawyer, Jason was adept at managing such situations, which was why he stepped in when he witnessed Connor's bodyguards brutally assaulting Timothy.
Regardless of the circumstances, they couldn't risk anything happening to Timothy there, not even leaving behind a single piece of incriminating evidence.
Jason subtly acknowledged Dylan's nearby presence with a careful glance, silently conveying the need for discretion.
Dylan quickly reassured him, saying, "Mr. Lane, you have my word. I won't mention a thing about what I saw. I'm firmly on Ms. Lane's side." Jason responded with a calculated smile, "That's good to know. However, I'll need you to sign a confidentiality agreement."
As a lawyer, Jason understood the importance of having contractual evidence.novelbin
Meanwhile, Connor's expression grew darker, revealing his dissatisfaction.
Hadn't Claude's associates already dealt with Timothy during their previous encounter at the airport?
Plus, with rumors circulating about Timothy and his entire entouragem hastily departing Nord City, it was especially surprising for Connor to find Timothy still lingering in Bern City. Contemplating this, Connor found himself questioning Claude's proficiency in managing the situation.
Observing the disheveled Timothy, Connor quipped "Hey punk, why are you still hanging around Nord City?"
With a composed demeanor, Timothy wiped the blood from them corner of his mouth and replied, "I plan to stay until Ginger has fully recovered."
