Chapter 871

Nonetheless, the Lanes’ clear disdain for Timothy was a welcome sight for Dylan.

At that moment, Connor directed a hostile glance toward Dylan and asked, "And who might you be?"

Feeling uneasy, Dylan promptly clarified, “Hello, Mr. Lane. I work at Ms. Lane's company. She and I

had plans for dinner tonight.

"But unexpectedly, Ms. Lane ran into the Bowens in the restroom, and Mrs. Bowen ended up injuring

her.”

Though Dylan felt reluctant to divulge, keeping silent might implicate him further with Timothy.

Besides, it was widely known in Nord City that the Lane brothers were fiercely protective of their

younger sister.

Upon hearing this, Connor finally grasped the situation. "The Bowen family sure has some nerve, don't

they? Assaulting Mia like that! They're getting way too cocky!"

Despite this, Connor's animosity toward Timothy remained palpable. Seeing all his bodyguards lying

defeated at Timothy's feet, Connor was taken aback. "Seems like you're quite skilled, huh?" he

grumbled. "Get more reinforcements here, now!"

Connor couldn't believe it. Was Timothy seriously gaining the upper hand in the Lane family's territory

in Nord City?

Shortly after, over ten additional bodyguards arrived. Despite Timothy's prowess, he was quickly

outnumbered.

As Dylan observed from the sidelines, his expression became increasingly complex. Why was Timothy

still refusing to leave?

Did he truly want to risk his life?

"Stop!"

A commanding voice echoed from the elevator, abruptly halting the altercation.

Upon hearing the interruption, Connor glanced up, his expression clouded with displeasure.

Spotting Jason, he immediately frowned and retorted, “Why are you stopping me? Every time this

Barrett bastard appears, trouble follows Mia. He's nothing but bad luck!"

As Connor's outburst ceased, the other bodyguards also halted their actions.

Timothy sat alone on the ground, visibly battered with bruises, his shattered sunglasses scattered

nearby.

Jason approached without sparing Timothy a glance, addressing Connor instead, “There's a lot of

attention on the Lane family right now. Causing a fatal incident in the hospital won't bode well for us.

"If you wish to deal with him, please find a more discreet location." Observing from the sidelines, Dylan

was taken aback. Wasn't it a bit too risky to discuss such matters in front of Timothy?

Nonetheless, Timothy remained unfazed by Jason's words, showing no signs of intimidation.

As a seasoned lawyer, Jason was adept at managing such situations, which was why he stepped in

when he witnessed Connor's bodyguards brutally assaulting Timothy.

Regardless of the circumstances, they couldn't risk anything happening to Timothy there, not even

leaving behind a single piece of incriminating evidence.

Jason subtly acknowledged Dylan's nearby presence with a careful glance, silently conveying the need

for discretion.

Dylan quickly reassured him, saying, "Mr. Lane, you have my word. I won't mention a thing about what I

saw. I'm firmly on Ms. Lane's side.” Jason responded with a calculated smile, “That's good to know.

However, I'll need you to sign a confidentiality agreement.”

As a lawyer, Jason understood the importance of having contractual evidence.

Meanwhile, Connor's expression grew darker, revealing his dissatisfaction.

Hadn't Claude's associates already dealt with Timothy during their previous encounter at the airport?

Plus, with rumors circulating about Timothy and his entire entourage hastily departing Nord City, it was

especially surprising for Connor to find Timothy still lingering in Bern City.

Contemplating this, Connor found himself questioning Claude's proficiency in managing the situation.

Observing the disheveled Timothy, Connor quipped, "Hey, punk, why are you still hanging around Nord

City?"

With a composed demeanor, Timothy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and replied, "I plan

to stay until Ginger has fully recovered.”
