Chapter 921
Mia's expression lit up with anticipation. With Caleb's imminent arrival,she anticipated that drama was about to unfold.
Earlier, when Caleb had called, he sounded gleeful and eager towitness the events unfold. However, the situation seemed to havetaken an unexpected turn.
Mia couldn't help but wonder how Caleb would react once he foundhimself in the spotlight.
A twinge of excitement stirred within her as she wondered what wouldhappen later.
Observing Mia's silence, Connie swiftly interjected, "Mia, why are youso quiet? Didn't you claim to know Caleb before? You even boastedabout it at the hospital. Now that Caleb himself is here, why the suddensilence?"
Mia wasn't silent out of guilt, but rather because she was too exhaustedto bother with a response.
Observing the audacious behavior of the Bowens, Mia casuallyretorted, "Are you certain this man is Caleb?"
"Absolutely; this gentleman right here is none other than Mr. Gomez,"Lewis affirmed confidently.
The young man beside him cleared his throat and addressed Mia,"Given that we're in Nord City, not Bern City, it's not surprising that I'mnot recognized here. Ms. Lane, I would caution you against beingdeceived by outsiders."
Mia couldn't believe she was being accused of being gullible.
She glanced at the young man and remarked, "It's certainly an oddsituation. I've been to Bern City and have met Mr. Caleb before.However, you bear no resemblance to him whatsoever. So, who'simpersonating whom here?"
After her statement, Mia noticed a subtle shift in the man’s expression—a slight flicker of guilt that she astutely picked up on.
It confirmed her suspicion—this man was indeed a fraudulent impostor.Connie immediately interrupted, "Mia, what are you trying to say? Aftereverything that's happened, do you still believe the man you identifiedlast time is the real Caleb? The evidence is right in front of you, and yetyou're still not convinced!"
Annoyed, Mia crossed her arms defensively. "Once Caleb and Timothyarrive, the truth will come out. We'll finally know who's the impostor.”The young man's expression shifted subtly. Could it be that the realCaleb was on his way? If so, his facade would soon be exposed.
With an air of confidence, Connie added, "Mia, let's settle this with ashowdown later. We'll find out who's telling the truth and who's lyingonce and for all."
"Mia, let's face it. The Lane family wields significant influence as well.Out of generosity, we extended an invitation for you to attend ourfamily's signing ceremony today.
"But instead of showing gratitude, you come here and stir up trouble,accusing my distinguished guest of being an impostor.
"If word of this gets out, how will it reflect on the Lane family in thepublic eye?" Lewis retorted with a smug expression.
Today, he finally had the chance to assert himself in front of the Lanefamily.novelbin
“I couldn't care less about how others perceive the Lane family. I'm nothere today to offer congratulations on your family's contract signing; I'mjust here to enjoy the spectacle.
"Considering how certain individuals have been misled andmanipulated, today's event is bound to be quite the show."
As Mia uttered those words, she couldn't help but glance at theinfluential media figures beside her. It seemed the Bowen family haddrawn quite a crowd to sway public opinion in their favor.
Mia turned directly to the media representatives and addressed them,“I'm well aware that the Bowen family has been showering you withnumerous perks lately, all while boasting about their supposedcollaboration with the Barrett family.
"But let me assure you, it's all smoke and mirrors. Just wait until theCEO of Barrett Group and the real Mr. Gomez arrive. Then you'll learnthe truth."
One of the reporters interjected, "Ms. Lane, it's true that there havebeen widespread rumors about a partnership between the Bowen andBarrett families.
"However, the idea that the president of the Barrett Group would act asyour bodyguard is something we find difficult to believe."
