Chapter 929

As Timothy’s words faded, silence settled over the room, dominating the atmosphere.
The reporters exchanged puzzled glances, their eyes hinting at the brewing gossip. Did Timothy just claim Mia as his wife?
Unable to resist, a reporter posed the question, “Mr. Barrett, is it true that Ms. Lane is your wife?”
“Mr. Barrett, did you have a previous romantic involvement with Ms. Lane?”
Upon hearing the journalists’ inquiries, Mia shot Timothy a frantic glance. Was he out of his mind? Why did he disclose such information to the media?
Mia urgently signaled to Timothy with her eyes, pleading for him to stop.
The last thing she wanted was to become the center of gossip!
However, Timothy simply nodded at the reporters. “That’s correct.”
Mia swiftly interjected, “Timothy, what on earth are you telling the reporters? There’s absolutely nothing between us.”
Timothy met her gaze squarely. “If there truly was nothing between us, then how do you explain our child?”
“Timothy, please stop,” Mia silently pleaded.
The reporters’ eyes lit up with excitement at Timothy’s revelation. This was undoubtedly a major mystery within Nord City’s entertainment scene.
The sudden divorce and departure of the Lane Family Heiress with her child had gripped the public’s attention, especially due to the mysterious identity of the child’s father.
Now, with the unexpected confession from the CEO of the Barrett Group, could it be that Timothy was indeed Mia’s former husband?
One journalist boldly approached and inquired, “Mr. Barrett, is Ms. Lane your ex-wife?”
Timothy affirmed with a nod, “Yes, we were married for a few years.”
His admission sent a ripple of excitement through the gathered reporters.
It seemed that the truth had finally come to light.
If this revelation were to be exposed, it would undoubtedly dominate tomorrow’s headlines.
Mia couldn’t shake off her unease upon hearing Timothy’s words. His decision to divulge such private matters in front of the reporters felt calculated.
Knowing Timothy’s past emphasis on privacy, Mia couldn’t help but wonder about his intentions.
She glanced at Timothy beside her, her tone distant, “Mr. Barrett, whatever happened between us in the past is ancient history. Bringing it up now would only complicate things for me.”
As Timothy turned to face Mia, he noticed her chest heaving with anger. It was clear she was deeply upset.
Nonetheless, Timothy remained composed as he replied, “But in my heart, our marriage has never truly ended.”
His words stirred murmurs of surprise among the nearby reporters.
It sure seemed like this event was filled with unexpected twists and turns.
The reporters never expected to witness not only the embarrassment of the Bowen family but also the unraveling of one of Nord City’s most significant mysteries in the entertainment industry.
The unfolding events were so bewildering and complex that they seemed more fitting for fiction than reality!
Initially, the handsome bodyguard accompanying Mia was dismissed as a passing fling, so he received little attention.
In the upper echelons of society, the romantic affairs of the wealthy were frequently regarded as inconsequential and rarely taken seriously.
Hence, the revelation that this seemingly unremarkable bodyguard was actually the CEO of Barrett Group, the foremost magnate in Bern City, was truly astonishing.
However, that wasn’t the most startling revelation. The bombshell came with the discovery that the CEO of the Barrett Group had been married to Mia and was the father of her child.
Indeed, no one had anticipated encountering the most sensational scandal in all of Nord City when they first arrived at this signing ceremony.
If news of this incident were to spread, it would undoubtedly dominate the media the next day.
Upon hearing Timothy’s response, Mia was instantly infuriated, tempted to land a punch on him.
What nonsense was he spouting about their marriage not being over in his heart?
Mia couldn’t shake off the memory of Timothy’s expression when he initially proposed their divorce, offering her money to leave.
It was as if Timothy had undergone a complete transformation in the blink of an eye.
