As soon as Timothy showed up, the atmosphere shifted.

The man who had been showing off earlier lost his confidence upon noticing Timothy.
Still, his stance remained firm as his pride wouldn't let him back down. "What did you mean by that, Mr. Barrett?" "You can't understand what I've just said?" The man gulped. "How can I understand it when you've put it so vaguely?" Timothy remarked, "That's true. How could you possibly understandwhen you've learned how to do business from beggars?" "It's unreasonable of you to say that, Mr. Barrett. I founded a big company all by myself, and I'm the one running it now. I'm different from people like you. You're just an elite who was born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Everything was handed to you. If you were in my position, you wouldn't even be able to achieve what I have now." Heath whispered to Timothy, informing him of the man's background.
Timothy smirked. "You founded the company, you said? You leeched off your girlfriend and dumped her after your company becsuccessful. Is this how you achieved your success?" The man's face fell as he didn't expect Timothy to discover the truth of his background that quickly.
The man thought that he had taken care of things well. Not many people in his circle were aware of it.
Mia narrowed her eyes. "I despise this kind of man the most." The man tried his best to remain calm. "It's not a big issue. Successful people shouldn't dwell on such trivial matters. Besides, I'm proposing a business collaboration with you here. My personal matters shouldn't concern you." "I agree that the business proposal is indeed unrelated to your personal matters, but I remain skeptical about your capability. I would never work with you," Mia rejected him without hesitation.

I proposed a collaboration with you out of courtesy. You should be grateful I was giving you a chance!" As soon as the man finished, Timothy punched him in the face.
The man staggered and knelt on the ground. The corners of his lips were bleeding.
Timothy took a step forward. He looked like a grim reaper.
Not a single word was uttered, but an intimidating air loomed over him. His gentle persona was replaced by a menacing demeanor. Timothy's scrutinizing gaze weighed heavily on the man's shoulders, gradually tearing his spirits down. He stammered, "Y-You hit me? You're dead meat! I'll have my lawyer send you to prison!" "Apologize to her," Timothy said.
"Apologize to her?" The man thought he heard it wrongly.
Timothy repeated, "Yes. Apologize to Ms. Mia." The man pointed at Mia. "Why should I apologize to this woman? She acted up first. And you hitGuys, this couple is bullying me! I'm telling you, I will not let this slide that easily. You're going to pay for this! There are laws in Nord City "I agree. This is a civilized city, unlike Yellow Island."

The man screamed in pain, but Timothy remained unfazed.
