"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.

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.

As Timothy caught sight of Mia, he headed straight toward her, his steps unwavering and his gaze intense.

Sjournalists nearby couldn't help but comment, "Wow, this guy really does resemble Mr. Barrett." "I've seen interviews with Mr. Barrett before. It's not just a similarity; he's practically a dead ringer." "Could it really be... him? Mr. Timothy Barrett himself?"
