Chapter 922

Several other reporters spoke up as well, "Ms. Lane, considering the

prestige of the Barrett Group's CEO and the prominence of the Barrett

family in Bern City, it's unlikely that he would take on the role of a mere

bodyguard by your side."

"While we did notice a resemblance between the bodyguard wearing

sunglasses and the CEO of Barrett Group, it's insufficient evidence to

confirm his identity.”

"Ms. Lane, is it possible that Mr. Barrett is pursuing a personal interest

in you, prompting him to act as your bodyguard?”

At the moment, this seemed to be the most reasonable explanation.

Otherwise, why would the CEO of the Barrett Group come to Nord City

and assume the position of a mere bodyguard? Such a narrative would

be difficult for anyone to believe.

Connie interrupted the reporters, wearing a displeased expression.

"What kind of questions are these? The bodyguard may resemble Mr.

Barrett, but he's certainly not the CEO of the Barrett Group.

"Besides, why would someone as esteemed as Mr. Barrett take any

interest in Mia, especially considering she's a divorced woman?"

Connie couldn't tolerate these speculations. It was obvious that Mia

was reaping the benefits of Lewis" interest in her.

However, despite this, the Lane family had turned down the proposal

for a marriage alliance with the Bowen family.

For Connie, it felt like a personal affront. What value did a divorced

woman like Mia hold, anyway?

As a divorcee, Mia should consider herself fortunate to have any man

interested in her.

Just then, a luxurious car pulled up outside, immediately capturing

everyone's attention.

Mia glanced over and calmly remarked, "It's about time. They should be

arriving soon."

No matter how tardy Caleb and Timothy were, they couldn't possibly be

this late.

Observing the luxury car outside, Lewis turned to Mia and quipped,

"So, are you saying that the penniless bodyguard and the phony Mr.

Gomez have arrived? It seems they've even managed to secure a

fancy car this time. I wonder where they rented it from?"

With that, the Bowen family's relatives joined in on the mockery as well.

Connie chimed in, "Lewis, you've got a keen eye! It's clear their car is

rented. How could a financially strained bodyguard possibly afford such

a luxurious vehicle?"

A sly smile painted Mia's lips as she glanced at Lewis and Connie.

Soon, their moment of embarrassment would unfold before their eyes.

Mia couldn't help but feel a twinge of excitement as she anticipated the

upcoming scene.

As the car door swung open, Timothy and Caleb emerged.

Timothy was dressed in a finely tailored suit, reflecting his usual

professional attire. With each step, he exuded an aura of authority.

Timothy entered the hotel lobby with a serious expression, causing

almost everyone to turn their heads toward him and Caleb.

Considering the prominence of the individuals present, it was often

simple to gauge someone's wealth with just a single glance.

At that moment, a subtle tension filled the air.

As Timothy caught sight of Mia, he headed straight toward her, his

steps unwavering and his gaze intense.

Reaching Mia's side, Timothy leaned in and murmured, "Apologies for

the delay; traffic held us up.”

Mia responded casually, "I happened to be nearby running errands, so I

arrived a bit earlier.”

Some journalists nearby couldn't help but comment, "Wow, this guy

really does resemble Mr. Barrett.”

“I've seen interviews with Mr. Barrett before. It's not just a similarity;

he's practically a dead ringer.”

"Could it really be... him? Mr. Timothy Barrett himself?"

Connie interjected with a scoff, her disdain evident, "It's just a

resemblance, nothing more. Just because someone looks like Mr.

Barrett doesn't mean he's automatically the CEO of the Barrett Group.

Can you imagine a CEO stooping to the level of a penniless

bodyguard?"
