Connie exchanged glances with her attendant. They wore scornful expressions as they judged Mia.
Bewildered, Mia exclaimed, "How could he not be? Haven't you met the CEO of Barrett Group before? Even if you haven't, wouldn't you have done a background check on the CEO of Barrett Group since you're going to work with him?" Connie replied haughtily, "Lewis has always been in charge of the deal. | believe he has already done a background check. Your bodyguard even broke his tooth last time. If he's really the CEO of Barrett Group, how could Lewis fail to recognize him? You're clearly lying." Her attendant, Selena, also mocked, "Exactly. He's nothing but a poor bodyguard. How could he possibly be the CEO of Barrett Group? If he's really the CEO, it'd be impossible for him to work as Mia's bodyguard.” Looking at their smug expressions, Mia fell silent. They didn't believe her at all. She stroked her forehead helplessly and asked, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with Lewis’ information?" She began to suspect that Lewis had been scammed. Or perhaps someone was using the nof the Barrett Group to trick the Bowens into working with them. The person might not even be affiliated with the Barrett Group at all.
Connie snorted. "Lewis has always been very capable. Given how big this deal was, how could he not acquire the necessary information?" "Mrs. Bowen, she had someone impersonate the CEO of Barrett Group because she's scared," Selena remarked.
Amused, Mia retorted, "You can search for him online if you don't believe me." Connie cackled. "Fine. | can't wait to see how disappointed you'll be." Soon, Selena said, "There aren't any pictures of the CEO online. | can't find anything." Mia turned toward Timothy. "Are there really no pictures of you online?" "The information available on the Nord City inteis quite limited, and | also keep a low profile. My photos rarely circulate the internet, so it's perfectly normal to not find any." Connie sneered. "That's enough. Quit the act. Since we can't find any photos of the CEO, that means he keeps a low profile. However, this also gives you an opportunity to impersonate him. I'm not a fool—I won't believe a thing you say." Selena set her phone aside and parroted along, "That's right, Mrs. Bowen. He's just a poor bodyguard. How could he possibly be the CEO of the Barrett Group? You can tell from his looks." Mia was at a loss for words. She genuinely didn't expect their insolence.
Glancing over at Connie, she said, "In that case, I'm utterly speechless. | hope you won't regret it when you close the deal with the Barretts." The level of Connie's arrogance would be matched by the degree of humiliation she'd face by then.
