Female Novel
Chapter 926
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 andConnie'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 toargue back. However, Connie felt differently. She had never faced suchhumiliation before.novelbin
Advancing toward Mia, Connie pointed accusingly. “Mr. Barrett, it'sbecause 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 thesituation.
She retorted sharply, "It's because you mistook the distinguished CEOof the Barrett Group for a mere bodyguard and even insulted him. Didyou suffer from amnesia or something? It appears you've forgottenrather quickly. This situation is completely unrelated to me!"
"But isn't it because he's been employed as your bodyguard? Whowould have guessed a bodyguard would turn out to be the CEO of theBarrett 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'thelp but steal a glance at him. Did he just publicly say he was pursuingher?
It was clear he was only sticking around because of Ginger, notbecause of any interest in her!
Struggling to accept the situation, Connie blurted out, "Mr. Barrett, thiswoman isn't as straightforward as you may think. Despite herappearance as the heiress of the Lane family, she's actually a divorcedwoman with a child. Don't let her deceive you."
Unfazed, Timothy calmly replied, “Well, I happen to like divorcedwomen with children.”
Connie was taken aback by Timothy's response. "Mr. Barrett, it seemsyour standards are rather low. Why would you be interested in adivorced woman with a child? My daughter Isabella outshines her inevery aspect.”
Connie hoped that Timothy's potential interest in Isabella could repairthe partnership between the Bowen family and the Barrett family.However, Timothy's blunt retort shattered that hope. "Your daughterisn't attractive enough.”
Watching from the sidelines, Mia was taken aback by Timothy's abilityto 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 declared, “TheBarrett Group has never sanctioned any partnership with the Bowenfamily.
“The recent events were instigated by the subsidiary's general managerand do not represent the position of the Barrett Group.
“I am here today to personally clarify this matter, and I hope you all canunderstand the full context of the situation.”
Following Timothy's statement, Heath added, "Our PR team at theBarrett Group will reach out to each of you shortly. We look forward tostaying in touch in the future.”
Upon hearing this, the reporters nodded in agreement. "Rest assured,Mr. Barrett. We will ensure clarity on this matter.”
Indeed, establishing a connection with the Barrett Group could pave theway for future opportunities in Bern City, and the reporters were eagerto maintain a positive relationship 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 plan?How do we handle this? Didn't you say that if this partnership were toend, it would be catastrophic for the Bowen family?"
