With such a talent for deceit, what was the point of pursuing honest, hard work? "Mr. Gomez, I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention. I was simply following orders from someone else; I did it for the money," the young man quickly apologized.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe revelation sent shockwaves through the crowd. No one had anticipated that the impostor would have ties to the Bowen family! A journalist exclaimed eagerly, "So, it seems this man is indeed a fraud! Ms. Lane has actually brought the real Mr. Gomez!" "Who would have thought someone would have the audacity to impersonate others and swagger around deceiving people?" another reporter added.
Observing the entire ordeal, Connie stared at the young man in disbelief. "What... What did you just say? So, you're the impostor, and he's the real Mr. Gomez?" But how could this be true? The revelation left Lewis visibly shaken, his anger simmering as he confronted the young man.
"Weren't you the one referred by the Barrett Group's branch? Didn't you claim to be Mr. Gomez? How dare you deceive me?" "I... I was just in it for the money," the young man confessed, his voice trembling.
Struggling to accept the truth, Lewis turned to Caleb, seeking confirmation. "So, if you're the real Caleb Gomez, then this man...' As Lewis spoke, his gaze shifted toward Timothy-the man he had long believed to be nothing more than a penniless bodyguard and impostor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm11 The realization hit him like a ton of bricks. If the real Caleb Gomez was standing in front of him, then this bodyguard must also be the legitimate Timothy Barrett! For a moment, Lewis struggled to cto terms with this harsh reality.
Mia followed Lewis' gaze, her eyes settling on Timothy. "That's correct. He is the real Caleb Gomez, which means the bodyguard beside him is the real Timothy Barrett." Connie's disbelief was evident, her legs trembling as she struggled to comprehend the situation No, this can'tbe! How is it possible? He's just a lowly bodyguard. How could he possibly be the CEO of the Barrett Group?" She couldn't fathom that the man she had always belittled and dismissed had turned out to hold a position of significant power and influence.
Meanwhile, a sense of panic swept over Lewis. Indeed, the Bowens' current partnership with the Barrett family was hanging in the balance.
If they were to offend the Barrett family and the partnership dissolved as a consequence, it would be nothing short of catastrophic. With her arms crossed, Mia wore a smirk as she glanced at Connie and Lewis. "So, any comments now? Who's been lying all along? Does it sting to be proven wrong?" Connie boiled with rage, her embarrassment palpable as she wished she could vanish in that moment.
A nearby journalist chimed in, "It seems the Bowen family was misled. Considering these two men are from Bern City, it's understandable that the Bowens wouldn't recognize them." Lewis quickly caught on and turned to Caleb beside him. "Yeah, we were fooled as well. Mr Gomez, please don't take this matter to heart. We've always held you in high regard as an esteemed guest of the Bowen family." "Enough with the empty words! What's the use of saying this now? Who would ever want to be considered an honored guest of your family? Don't try to flatter yourselves," Caleb chided. Following Caleb's words, he swiftly incapacitated the impostor's arm.
Connie and Lewis watched in shock, their faces draining of color.
