"Mia, you're going to regret this later. We won't let you and this gigolo off the hook by then. You guys will be doomed once the Barrett Group finds out that someone is impersonating their CEO." Mia felt like getting back at Connie, but she was at a loss for words. She had made it very clear that her bodyguard was actually the CEO of Barrett Group, yet Connie's denial caught her off guard. Connie even accused her of getting someone to impersonate Timothy.

In fact, Mia was intrigued to find out how he'd stand up for himself.
Timothy furrowed his brows. He also didn't anticipate the Bowens' imprudence. He glanced at Connie and asked, "The contract is to be signed on the day after tomorrow, right?" Connie replied smugly, "That's right. It will be the end of both of you then." Timothy snapped, "Don't expect too much. The deal isn't going to happen." "What makes you think you have the right to decide that? You're just a lbodyguard. Do you really think you're the CEO of Barrett Group?" "I am indeed the CEO of Barrett Group," Timothy rebuked.
"Still keeping up with the act? Guess what, I will definitely let the CEO know that you impersonated him when we sign the deal.. The Barretts definitely wouldn't spare you. Don't you dare think you can act recklessly just because Mia has your back. Even the Lanes have to bow down before us by then, let alone a poor bodyguard like you." "Well, I'm informing you that the deal has been canceled," Timothy said.

Connie piped up, "Lewis, you cjust in time. This poor bodyguard right here is impersonating the CEO of Barrett Group, and he even has the gall to say that he'll cancel our deal. Just how ridiculous is that?" Selena also chimed in, "Exactly! I couldn't find any pictures of the CEO earlier despite searching online. So, they took this opportunity to impersonate him. They thought we'd be easily fooled!" Lewis erupted into laughter.
"Impersonating the CEO of Barrett Group?" He turned to Mia and t continued "Do you fancy this gigolo who is full of lies? It seems like you have poor taste, indeed. However, I might consider letting the Lanes off the hook if you agree to our engagement." Mia was overwhelmed by his insolence. Furrowing her brows, she answered frankly, "I wouldn't marry you even if you're the only man left on Earth. Just give up. You're too ugly." Lewis was infuriated. He raised his hand to strike her, but Timothy stopped him immediately.
"She's mine. How dare you!" He glowered at Lewis.
"What makes you think you have the right to compete withfor her? You're just a nobody. Haven't you heard of the consequences of defyingin Nord City?"
