Nonetheless, the Lanes' clear disdain for Timothy was a welcome sight for Dylan.
At that moment, Connor directed a hostile glance toward Dylan and asked, "And who might you be?"
Feeling uneasy, Dylan promptly clarified, "Hello, Mr. Lane. I work at Ms. Lane's company. She and I had plans for dinner tonight.
"But unexpectedly, Ms. Lane ran into the Bowens in the restroom, and Mrs. Bowen ended up injuring her."
Though Dylan felt reluctant to divulge, keeping silent might implicate him further with Timothy.
Besides, it was widely known in Nord City that the Lane brothers were fiercely protective of their younger sister.
Upon hearing this, Connor finally grasped the situation. "The Bowen family sure has some nerve, don't they? Assaulting Mia like that! They're getting way too cocky!"
Despite this, Connor's animosity toward Timothy remained palpable.
Seeing all his bodyguards lying defeated at Timothy's feet, Connor was taken aback. "Seems like you're quite skilled, huh?" he grumbled. "Get more reinforcements here, now!"
Connor couldn't believe it. Was Timothy seriously gaining the upper hand in the Lane family's territory in Nord City?
Shortly after, over ten additional bodyguards arrived. Despite Timothy's prowess, he was quickly outnumbered.
As Dylan observed from the sidelines, his expression became increasingly complex. Why was Timothy still refusing to leave?
Did he truly want to risk his life?
"Stop!"
A commanding voice echoed from the elevator, abruptly halting the altercation.
Upon hearing the interruption, Connor glanced up, his expression clouded with displeasure.
Spotting Jason, he immediately frowned and retorted, "Why are you stopping me? Every time this Barrett bastard appears, trouble follows Mia. He's nothing but bad luck!"
