Upon hearing Lewis' offensive remarks, Mia glanced incredulously at Timothy beside her. She then turned her attention back to Lewis and inquired, "Aren't you familiar with him?"
In theory, Lewis should be acquainted with Timothy, considering the Bowen family had been publicly proclaiming their collaboration with the Barrett family.
After all, their goal was to establish themselves as the top powerhouse in Nord City.
However, just moments ago, Lewis had been pointing fingers and hurling insults at Timothy, clearly unaware of his identity!
The situation was undeniably peculiar.
With an air of defiance, Lewis retorted, "Of course, I know him. Isn't he the "pretty boy' bodyguard who made it to the gossip headlines with you?"
At the mention of "pretty boy bodyguard", Mia immediately sensed that Timothy's expression darkened.
It seemed that Timothy, accustomed to being pampered as the heir of his family, had never faced such insults before.
Oddly, Mia felt a certain satisfaction in this turn of events.
Nonetheless, Lewis' failure to recognize Timothy surprised Mia.
Just moments earlier, she had assumed Timothy's identity had been exposed.
But she had never anticipated this twist-Lewis genuinely didn't recognize Timothy.
This raised suspicions about the validity of the Bowen family's claims regarding their collaboration with the Barrett family.
Struggling to contain her amusement, Mia retorted, "Yes, that's him— the bodyguard who grabbed tabloid attention with me. He's much more handsome than you, with a great physique and plenty of charm. He's exactly my type!"
With a disdainful glance at Lewis, Mia continued, "As for you, you're simply unappealing, with a lackluster physique. You're just not my cup of tea!"
Lewis erupted in fury, declaring, "He's nothing but a pretty boy, isn't he? What does he have to match me? The Bowens are a distinguished family in Nord City! Besides, I boast abundant wealth and status. What can't I rival compared to a mere pretty boy like him?"
Mia stifled a laugh and deliberately glanced at the stern-faced Timothy beside her.
As she came closer, she lightly tapped his face and remarked, "Though my bodyguard may lack wealth or status at the moment, apart from his handsome appearance, he has little else to offer.
"However, I am not short on funds. I suppose I'm just that shallow. Looks are all that matter to me!"
Timothy was utterly caught off guard. He shot Mia a chilly glance, his lips pressed into a tight line. He saw through her deliberate attempt to provoke him.
Despite her efforts, Mia held no allure in his eyes. He easily discerned her calculated actions.

Despite failing to recognize Timothy standing right in front of him, Lewis still exuded an air of arrogance.
Feigning surprise, Mia asked, "So, what exactly is the collaboration between your family and the Barretts about? Please, enlighten me. I'm dying to be frightened."
"Hmph, Mia, are you feeling a bit intimidated now?" Lewis retorted with a smug expression.
"Is that why you're so interested in our partnership with the Barrett family? Well, forget it. I wouldn't reveal our collaboration even if you begged me.
