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."
