Female Novel
Chapter 934
Observing with concern, Connie exclaimed, "Why are they fighting? Are all of you guards useless? Can't you step in to help Mr. Bowen? What if he ends up with severe injuries?"
Mia, too, watched the unfolding spectacle before her.
She had expected Ralph's arrival to bring about some unexpected turn of events during the signing ceremony, but everything seemed to proceed without any unforeseen incidents.
As long as Timothy stepped forward and declared the partnership termination, Ralph's actions wouldn't alter the outcome.
Nonetheless, Mia hadn't anticipated Ralph accepting numerous favors from the Bowen family. The urgency with which they demanded their return suggested substantial benefits were involved.
Mia couldn't shake the memory of Ralph's expulsion from the Barrett Group for corruption and bribery.
It was Sharon who had to use her own funds to conceal his misconduct, ultimately sparing him from imprisonment.
After all these years, it was astonishing to see that Ralph hadn't changed his ways.
If Timothy hadn't coincidentally come across the Bowen family boasting about their partnership with the Barrett Group in Nord City, Ralph might have managed to secure the contract.
Even if Timothy were to intervene later, it would likely still lead to some losses.
Indeed, having such an uncle felt like inheriting generations of misfortune.
Thankfully, Ginger and Sage had six uncles, each of whom was exceptionally capable, unlike Ralph.
Meanwhile, the bodyguards quickly subdued Ralph, leaving him unable to fight back.
With visible bruises marking Ralph's body, Lewis delivered a final blow toward him. "How dare you hold onto my possessions and refuse to let golf you don't hand them over, you won't live to see another sunrise!" he threatened.
Observing the altercation, Mia stole a glance at Timothy beside her. Shouldn't he step in and put an end to this situation?
At that moment, Ralph reached out toward Timothy, pleading, "Help me! Are you just going to stand by and watch your uncle get beaten to death?"
Timothy's response was cold and unwavering. "I warned you earlier."
"Timothy Barrett, you are a heartless monster!"novelbin
Mia raised an eyebrow, turning to Ralph. "Why not just return what rightfully belongs to him? Lewis only wants his belongings back. If you hand them over, there won't be any need for further violence."
Initially, Lewis had feared incurring Timothy's resentment. However, witnessing Timothy's evident disdain for his supposed uncle dispelled those
concerns.
Ralph's face contorted into a sneer as he glared at Mia. "What right do you have to speak here? You're just a woman who was ousted from the Barrett family! Are you even worthy?"
Mia's expression turned cold upon hearing his words. "Despite the passage of time, it seems that the Barretts remain unchanged."
In a flash, Peyton strode forward
and delivered a resounding slap to Ralph's cheek. "Who do you think
you are to criticize Ms. Mia? Take a
good look at yourself before passing judgment on others. Do you even have the right?"
Stunned by the slap, Ralph turned to Mia. "Aren't you just a lowly orphan? How dare you call yourself an heiress?"
A nearby journalist interjected, "Ms. Lane is not an orphan. She is the long-lost heiress of the Lane family, the foremost aristocratic household in Nord City."
Ralph's face turned pale. "What? She's the missing heiress of the Lane family?"
