Chapter 433

The elevator reached the first floor. The passengers exited it and it became spacious.

However, the old lady and the boy blocked the way out of the elevator, not planning to let Mia and

Timothy leave.

The old lady didn’t stop her rant. “Explain! How could you not respect the elderly and care for the kids a

single bit?”

Mia, who was still standing in the corner, raised her head to glance at Timothy and whispered, “We’re

here.”

In other words, he didn’t need to shield her anymore.

Only then did he straighten his back and take a few steps backward. The atmosphere became stranger

for some reason.

She could feel her face burning as well. Slowly, she lifted her head to see his broad shoulders.

Spinning around, Timothy noticed the old lady blocking the way and frowned.

That was a rare moment for him to encounter such a preposterous incident since he was used to

private

hospitals.

Soon, Heath showed up with a group of bodyguards. The formidable figures stood behind the old lady.

who didn’t stop running her mouth.

Feeling the cold air behind her, she turned her head only to see a group of bodyguards.

Their fierce looks zipped her lips at a heartbeat.

In a trembling voice, she said, “What are you trying to do? Are you a gangster? I–I’m telling you! My

son is one of the higher–ups in Barrett Group. If you upset me, he will never let you get away with it!”

Mia burst into a chuckle upon hearing that..

What are the odds?

Mia glanced at the old lady. “How bold. Then, do you know who this young handsome man is? He

Then, she saw a middle–aged man coming through the entrance. “Son, come here! Someone’s picking

on

mel”

There was a shift on his face when he noticed Timothy. His voice stammered. “M–Mom, what did you

do?

“Son, they ganged up on me in the elevator! They even called over these men in black to beat me up!

How could they do this in a civilized society?” Her son’s arrival buoyed her up,

Timothy flashed a meaningful smile at the middle–aged man. “Is this your mother?”

“I’m so sorry, Mr. Barrett. She’s from the countryside, so she doesn’t know how things work in the city.

Please don’t take it to the heart.” The middle–aged man feared.

The old lady was taken aback by her son’s respectful attitude toward Timothy. “Son, who is he?”

Mia cast her gaze at her. “Didn’t I tell you that he works at Barrett Group, too? He’s the president.”

“President? The boss of the company?” Her low educational background was enough for her to

understand what the president of a company meant.

She knew that she had caused trouble now.

“Mom, apologize to Mr. Barrett. Hurry!” urged the middle–aged man.

Timothy interrupted. “Save it. Hand in your resignation letter to the Human Resources Department
