Standing nearby, Caleb interjected, "Mia, maybe it wouldn't be so bad to attend the signing ceremony. You'll have a front-row seat to witness the Bowen family's embarrassment.
"Let's face it, the ceremony is nothing but a charade. I haven't seen such absurdity in ages. It could actually be quite entertaining to watch the show and stop these shameless individuals from tarnishing your reputation." Caleb never anticipated encountering a family as eccentric as the Bowens.
Their unwavering confidence, despite their modest social standing, piqued his curiosity. He thought it could be interesting to observe how they handled embarrassment.

Even though he had joked about Timothy earlier, being belittled by the Bowens was not something Caleb could easily shrug off. Mia hesitated for a moment but chose to remain silent.
Just then, Connie's voice echoed loudly, "Mia, consider it settled. The Lane family is expected to attend the Bowen family's signing ceremony in two days. If you don't show up, it will only serve as evidence of your guilt." Mia responded with a disdainful chuckle, "Why should I feel guilty? With the Bowen family practically invitingto witness their downfall, how can I possibly say no?" "Mia, your audacity knows no bounds, does it? Very well, I expect to see you three there. Don't try to find excuses for not showing up. I'll be anticipating your arrival," Connie firmly stated before her attendant wheeled her out of the hospital room.
Glancing at Connie, Mia folded her arms in frustration. She turned to Timothy and questioned, "You've already met with Heath, right? So why hasn't the collaboration with the Bowen family been sorted out yet? This isn't like your usual efficiency." In Mia's perception, Timothy was a typical workaholic, almost like a robot in terms of efficiency.
He had promised to quickly resolve the collaboration with the Bowen family.
So, it was strange that the Bowens still believed they would sign a contract with the Barrett Group.
With a furrowed brow, Timothy immediately called Heath, saying, "Didn't I instruct you to terminate the partnership with the Bowen family?" How dare the Bowens even bring up the topic of collaboration in his presence? Heath swiftly intervened, saying, "Mr.
Barrett, we've just arrived at the branch office today and started investigating the matter. The partnership with the Bowen family seems to be quite complex." "No matter how complex it is, cancel the collaboration with the Bowen family immediately," Timothy ordered firmly.

"While conducting my investigation at the branch office, face det deliberate obstructions. It seems Mr.
Hopkins is intent on keeping this matter hidden." "So, are you saying there's been no headway?" Timothy inquired.
"Not precisely," Heath replied. "I did convey your instructions to avoid proceeding with the Bowen family.
"However, it seems Mr. Hopkins has yet to show up. If we're looking to officially terminate the partnership with the Bowens, it might take stime." After listening to Heath's explanation, Timothy ended the call.
Standing nearby, Caleb asked, "Tim, what was the update?"
