Mia's expression lit up with anticipation. With Caleb's imminent arrival, she anticipated that drama was about to unfold.
Earlier, when Caleb had called, he sounded gleeful and eager to witness the events unfold. However, the situation seemed to have taken an unexpected turn.
Mia couldn't help but wonder how Caleb would react once he found himself in the spotlight.
A twinge of excitement stirred within her as she wondered what would happen later.
Observing Mia's silence, Connie swiftly interjected, "Mia, why are you so quiet? Didn't you claim to know Caleb before? You even boasted about it at the hospital. Now that Caleb himself is here, why the sudden silence?"
Mia wasn't silent out of guilt, but rather because she was too exhausted to bother with a response.
Observing the audacious behavior of the Bowens, Mia casually retorted, "Are you certain this man is Caleb?"
"Absolutely; this gentleman right here is none other than Mr. Gomez," Lewis affirmed confidently.
The young man beside him cleared his throat and addressed Mia, "Given that we're in Nord City, not Bern City, it's not surprising that I'm not recognized here. Ms. Lane, I would caution you against being deceived by outsiders."
Mia couldn't believe she was being accused of being gullible.
She glanced at the young man and remarked, "It's certainly an odd situation. I've been to Bern City and have met Mr. Caleb before. However, you bear no resemblance to him whatsoever. So, who's impersonating whom here?"
After her statement, Mia noticed a subtle shift in the man's expression -a slight flicker of guilt that she astutely picked up on.
It confirmed her suspicion this man was indeed a fraudulent impostor. Connie immediately interrupted, "Mia, what are you trying to say? After everything that's happened, do you still believe the man you identified last time is the real Caleb? The evidence is right in front of you, and yet you're still not convinced!"
Annoyed, Mia crossed her arms defensively. "Once Caleb and Timothy arrive, the truth will come out. We'll finally know who's the impostor." The young man's expression shifted subtly. Could it be that the real Caleb was on his way? If so, his facade would soon be exposed.
With an air of confidence, Connie added, "Mia, let's settle this with a showdown later. We'll find out who's telling the truth and who's lying once and for all."
"Mia, let's face it. The Lane family wields significant influence as well. Out of generosity, we extended an invitation for you to attend our family's signing ceremony today.
"But instead of showing gratitude, you come here and stir up trouble, accusing my distinguished guest of being an impostor.
"If word of this gets out, how will it reflect on the Lane family in the public eye?" Lewis retorted with a smug expression.
Today, he finally had the chance to assert himself in front of the Lane family.

"However, the idea that the president of the Barrett Group would act as your bodyguard is something we find difficult to believe."
