Chapter 856

After enduring Lewis’ nonsensical remarks, Mia concluded that either Lewis was genuinely clueless, or

perhaps the Bowen family had fallen victim to deception.

Losing interest, Mia stated, "Forget it. If you're not going to tell me, then just leave. Don't block the

entrance to my villa."

Seething with anger and embarrassment, Lewis retorted, "Mia, your arrogance knows no bounds. But

mark my words, there may come a time when you'll regret your attitude and come crawling back to me!

“You're only bold because of the Lane family's support. Strip that away, and you'll be insignificant. I

doubt you'd even be fit to polish my shoes.” Mia's expression shifted upon hearing Lewis" belittling

remarks about her family. "With your pathetic appearance, do you really think you can threaten the

Lane family? It's probably impossible for you. Get lost and never show up in front of me again!"

Timothy, too, had no interest in engaging with someone as foolish as Lewis. As soon as he could reach

his subordinates, he planned to find out who in the branch was foolish enough to agree to a partnership

with the Bowen family.

Turning to Mia, Timothy spoke, "Let's leave. There's no point in wasting any more time here."

Lewis, who was within earshot, exploded in rage upon hearing Timothy's words. "You, a destitute pretty

boy, how dare you speak with such arrogance in my presence?

"Though I may not have access to Mia now, dealing with a mere bodyguard like you is well within my

capabilities! You're nothing but a pretty face, after all.

"And as for Mia, this fickle woman, how long do you think she will keep you by her side?"

Upon hearing this, Timothy's expression hardened. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and

delivered a punch to Lewis.

Although Timothy could withstand insults directed at himself, he couldn't bear to hear Mia being

disparaged.

The impact of Timothy's punch knocked Lewis to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth as he

cradled it.

Mia quickly noticed that two of Lewis’ teeth had been expelled from his mouth. She gasped, realizing

the strength behind Timothy's blow that caused them to dislodge.

Despite the violence, Mia couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Clutching his bleeding mouth, Lewis

was unable to speak as pain radiated through him.

Lewis’ bodyguard swiftly stepped in, accusing, "Ms. Lane, your bodyguard launched a brutal attack

without restraint. The Bowen family should not be taken lightly."

With a smirk, Mia turned to Lewis’ entourage and stated, "Well, I'll say the same to you. The Lane

family is not to be underestimated either.” Turning back to Lewis, Mia retorted, "Your offensive

language is what got you into this mess. Consider yourself lucky that Timothy only knocked out two of

your teeth instead of taking your life."

Had Dominic caught wind of those words, Lewis would have likely faced even harsher consequences.

Hastily, the Bowen family escorted Lewis to the hospital for treatment. Glancing back at Timothy, Mia

remarked, "You seem to be getting quite hot-headed lately, resorting to violence so easily."

Timothy, still clad in his security uniform, massaged his wrist and replied, "Dealing with these nuisances

around you can be quite vexing." Rudeness seemed to be a common characteristic among these men,

with Miguel being no exception.

Nonetheless, Timothy didn't seem to hold the Bowens in high regard either. He turned to Mia and

asked, "What have you been up to today? How did Ginger's treatment go?"

Avoiding his gaze, Mia replied, "Ginger's treatment went smoothly. There were no complications.”

Timothy asserted firmly, "I want to visit Ginger at the hospital.”

Mia couldn't help but feel torn by his request.
