No longer able to endure the Bowens' brazenness, Mia felt a strong urge to humiliate them. She thought she'd seen enough impudence, yet the Bowens just brought her an eye-opening experience. How could they possibly be so insolent and foolish at the same time?
The Bowens' arrogance had left Mia in awe. She wondered who gave them the nerve to display such impudence. Were they unaware of what happened to the Jones?
Connie immediately retorted, "Mia, you gotta be kidding me. How would you be acquainted with Mr. Gomez? You probably only met him once. How would you know that he's at this hospital?"
"It's simple. Caleb just bought a gift to visit my child at the hospital, so we've just met. I know he's here."
"It's not surprising that you know him. However, that doesn't prove that this broke bodyguard is the CEO of Barrett Group. These are two different things!" Lewis interjected.
Amused, Mia replied, "Are you feeling uneasy? Caleb is good friends with the CEO of Barrett Group. He can prove whether my bodyguard is the CEO of the Barrett Group once he's here."
"Uneasy? Why would I be? You're the one who's in a tough spot now," Lewis retorted.
"Lewis, call Mr. Gomez and ask him where he is now. We'll be able to find out whether he's really at the hospital. It's no big deal," Connie suggested.
Mia nodded. "Exactly. You can just call him. Or you can even have him come to this floor."
"Sure, why not? Do you think I'd be intimidated?" Lewis took his phone out and made a call. The call got through promptly.
Lewis began courteously, "Hello, may I know where Mr. Gomez is right now?"
"Mr. Gomez's schedule is confidential. We're not allowed to disclose such information to outsiders. Sorry."
"It's fine. Sorry for bothering."
Lewis cast a smug glance at Mia after he hung up. "Mr. Gomez isn't even at the hospital."
Caleb's itinerary was confidential, after all. It simply wouldn't make sense for him to pay a sudden visit to the hospital. Thus, Mia must be lying.

As if she had obtained Mia's leverage, Connie immediately hollered, "Mia, you've finally shown your true colors! Your bodyguard isn't even the CEO of Barrett Group, and you don't know Mr. Gomez as well. You're merely lying for your own sake." Visit bignovels.com to read the latest

Her absurd remark threw Mia off. "Why do I have to lie about such trivial matters? Given my family's status, it's not surprising that I'm acquainted with Caleb.
There's no point in lying."
Lying was unnecessary. With the Lanes being the most prominent family in Nord City, Mia didn't see the need to deceive others.
