Mia's expression lit up with anticipation. With Caleb's imminent arrival, she anticipated that drama was about to unfold.
Earlier, when Caleb had called, he sounded gleeful and eager to witness the events unfold. However, the situation seemed to have taken an unexpected turn.
Mia couldn't help but wonder how Caleb would react once he found himself in the spotlight.
A twinge of excitement stirred within her as she wondered what would happen later.
Observing Mia's silence, Connie swiftly interjected, "Mia, why are you so quiet? Didn't you claim to know Caleb before? You even boasted about it at the hospital. Now that Caleb himself is here, why the sudden silence?"
Mia wasn't silent out of guilt, but rather because she was too exhausted to bother with a response.
Observing the audacious behavior of the Bowens, Mia casually retorted, "Are you certain this man is Caleb?"
"Absolutely; this gentleman right here is none other than Mr. Gomez," Lewis affirmed confidently.
The young man beside him cleared his throat and addressed Mia, "Given that we're in Nord City, not Bern City, it's not surprising that I'm not recognized here. Ms. Lane, I would caution you against being deceived by outsiders."
Mia couldn't believe she was being accused of being gullible.
She glanced at the young man and remarked, "It's certainly an odd situation. I've been to Bern City and have met Mr. Caleb before. However, you bear no resemblance to him whatsoever. So, who's impersonating whom here?"
After her statement, Mia noticed a subtle shift in the man's expression—a slight flicker of guilt that she astutely picked up on.
It confirmed her suspicion—this man was indeed a fraudulent impostor.
Connie immediately interrupted, "Mia, what are you trying to say? After everything that's happened, do you still believe the man you identified last time is the real Caleb? The evidence is right in front of you, and yet you're still not convinced!"
"Considering how certain individuals have been misled and manipulated, today's event is bound to be quite the show."
As Mia uttered those words, she couldn't help but glance at the influential media figures beside her. It seemed the Bowen family had drawn quite a crowd to sway public opinion in their favor.
Mia turned directly to the media representatives and addressed them, "I'm well aware that the Bowen family has been showering you with numerous perks lately, all while boasting about their supposed collaboration with the Barrett family.
"But let me assure you, it's all smoke and mirrors. Just wait until the CEO of Barrett Group and the real Mr. Gomez arrive. Then you'll learn the truth."
One of the reporters interjected, "Ms. Lane, it's true that there have been widespread rumors about a partnership between the Bowen and Barrett families.
"However, the idea that the president of the Barrett Group would act as your bodyguard is something we find difficult to believe."

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
Enjoyed reading this but I agree that the last chapter seemed rushed. Maybe if the author had done a few more chapters to let us know if they remarried or not - could there be a second book in the running. Anyway we'll done....
Who's Claude in chapters 276/277? Have I missed a chapter or something?...
I've never encountered a book with over 1,000 chapters. Does the author or platform not use an editor? The writing and grammatical errors are quite frustrating....
Why does it read status ongoing? If it’s ongoing chapter 1187 isn’t the end, I’m confused...
Chapter 1187 is the end? Too soon of a ending if its the ending they just ruined the sorty for me...
