Mia observed Connie with a sardonic smile, noticing her lack of refinement and tendency to react impulsively, reminiscent of someone with no class.Besides, Connie had never regarded Mia highly, so witnessing her frustration brought Mia a sense of gratification.Connie stammered, "B-But didn't Mia mention that she didn't want our apology?""Whether Mia desires your apology is irrelevant. What matters is the sincerity behind it, which will determine the fate of the Bowen Group," Caleb interjected.Indeed, Connie and Lewis formed an odd pair, often abusing their authority to intimidate others yet faltering when faced with resistance.Mia deliberately glanced at Connie and remarked, "Did you catch that? Can't any of you from the Bowen family understand basic language?"Although Mia wasn't particularly interested in receiving an apology from the Bowen family, witnessing Connie in such a sorry state brought her some satisfaction.Meanwhile, Lewis exchanged several meaningful glances

Standing nearby, Timothy stated firmly, "I've made it clear before—there's no possibility of a partnership between the Barrett family and the Bowen family."Connie quickly stepped in, saying, "Mr. Barrett, please remember that this contract was set by your uncle. As a younger member of the family, it might not be suitable for you to go against his decision."Without missing a beat, Timothy pressed on, "Since you all seem so keen to work with Uncle Ralph, he will no longer hold the position of general manager at the Barrett Group subsidiary. I'll instruct the HR department to issue his dismissal notice immediately."Ralph responded with a cold scoff, "Timothy, don't think for a moment that threatening to dismiss me will have any impact. The position of subsidiary general manager was never my ambition anyway."Remember, I entered into these negotiations after careful consideration. If you fail to see the value in this opportunity, there are plenty who will."Lewis hesitated before s

Ralph gazed at Mia in disbelief, struggling to comprehend the situation.While he had heard rumors about the long-lost heiress of the Lane family being discovered after many years, she had always maintained a low profile and seldom made public appearances.Consequently, Ralph had no idea what the supposed heiress looked like.Besides, his social standing in Nord City was far from that of the Lane family, and he had never crossed paths with the rumored heiress.To Ralph, Mia was merely a woman who had been expelled from the Barrett family.Now, she had suddenly risen to the position of heiress in the influential Lane family of Nord City!This sudden transformation left Ralph feeling somewhat embarrassed.Unable to swallow his pride, Ralph attempted to assert himself, addressing Mia, "Even if you're the heiress of the Lane family, what does it matter? You're still a daughter-in-law in the Barrett family. You should show me some resp—"Before Ralph could complete his sentence, Pey

Mia smiled faintly upon hearing that from the lawyer.This legal team was affiliated with Dominic's company. As a loving brother, he would always ask them to deal with the case whenever awful rumors of her spread online.The high frequency of such instruction was enough for them to know that Dominic was protective of Mia.Meanwhile, Caleb was at a loss of words after hearing that.He finally realized that one characteristic that ran in the Lane family—the Lane brothers were overprotective of Mia!If that was the case, Timothy might lose his ground!Timothy's expression darkened, as no one had ever spoken that way to him directly.Sensing the shift in his mood, Mia turned around to stand next to the lawyers.She faced Timothy. "Mr. Barret, I think my lawyers have straightened things out with you. I don't have time to have dinner with you."She stared at the man standing before her. Although her emotions were swirling on the inside, it was completely different from four years ag

A daring speculation took shape in Timothy's mind.Caleb paused momentarily. "If not Ginger, who could the patient be?""The last sentence.""Mia was so confident that your bone marrow would match with the patient's?" Caleb realized something as well. "Tim, are you guessing that you have another child?"Mixed feelings began to stir in Timothy's stomach as he nodded. "Yes, a hidden child.""But, Tim, even if Mia had given birth to another child with another man, why was she so confident that the bone marrow would be a match?"As soon as Caleb finished, the air in the car turned chilly.Anger clouded over Timothy's features as he glared at Caleb. Caleb gulped. "W-What?"Heath, who was sitting in the passenger seat, chimed in, "Maybe, Ms. Mia was pregnant with a twin back then!"Caleb slapped his thigh upon realization. "Oh, right! Why didn't I think of that?" "If you can't use your brain efficiently, you can donate it to those that need it," Timothy warned."Oh, calm down,
