Ch. 1001..1010

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1001-Jasmine didn't believe her. "Nonsense! I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"My mother only found out that she was pregnant after they broke up. She kept me in the dark for years, and she only told me who my biological father was on her deathbed. If she really intended to use me to threaten him, she would've revealed this secret a long time ago."

Luna had resented her mother back then for not telling her that she was Raymond's biological daughter. She wouldn't have had to struggle for so long had she returned to Raymond's side sooner. Jasmine retorted, "You're just making things up. Your mother must've been rejected by my dad back then, so she had no choice but to give birth to you. She wanted to threaten my dad with you, but she failed. So, she slunk away and raised you elsewhere. Your mother only made up this story to deceive you-she's a shrewd woman, indeed."

Jasmine refused to believe that Luna's mother didn't want anything in return after giving birth to Raymond's child.

"Shut up! I won't let you speak about my mom like that. Your mom was clearly shameless enough to wreck their relationship at first, imposing on my mom to make her leave," Luna spat.

Luna loathed Jasmine's mother. If it wasn't for her prominent family background, Luna would've been the mayor's daughter now.

"Oh, you can't stand it when I insult your mom? She deserves it after acting so shamelessly! Your mom wasn't worthy of my dad to begin with. Their separation was inevitable. My mom and my dad, however, are a perfect match. Given your mom's status, she was never worthy of my dad's family. Even if he hadn't married my mother back then, she wouldn't have been able to marry into our family." Hearing that, Luna burst into a fit of rage, and she lunged forward and got into a fight with Jasmine.

Mia was flabbergasted. She certainly didn't expect them to start a fight out of nowhere. Given Jasmine's temperament, she'd be relentless and she wouldn't spare Luna easily.

Meanwhile, Luna would've swallowed her anger if she were her old self, but her newfound pride quickly escalated things. With her previous docility vanishing, she simply wouldn't give in to Jasmine. She'd beer eager to overpower Jasmine.

As the two fought, Mia stepped forward to intervene and separated them. Evidently on the losing end, Luna glowered at Mia and Jasmine. "How dare you! Just wait until I tell Dad about this! You won't get away with this."

Both Luna and Jasmine looked disheveled. Their hair was a mess, and several scratches marred their faces.

Jasmine snapped defiantly, "Go ahead! Tell Dad about it and I'll see whose side he takes."

"Why are you so smug about it? I'm different. Mr. Shelbert already felt great remorse for my mother after mistreating her for so many years, and now I've brought back my son," Luna jeered. "That's your son. What does he have to do with the Shelbert family?"

Luna replied haughtily, "I've already told Dad that my son will take the Shelbert surname, and he'll remain a descendant of the Shelbert family in the years to come. Dad was overjoyed because he finally has ar heir."

Luna's remark caught Mia off guard. Little did she expect Luna to go to such lengths, and she absolutely didn't envision Raymond making such a deal for an heir.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1002-No wonder Raymond was so protective of Luna—she had a son, an heir.

Jasmine grew even more infuriated. "You're shameless! He's just an illegitimate child. He has nothing to do with our family!"

"I gave birth to him, and that makes him a Shelbert after he changes his surname. Dad has yearned for a son over the years, and now he's finally had a grandson. Isn't that much better than not having a son?" In fact, Luna also didn't expect Raymond to agree to bail her out of prison just to adopt her child. She got lucky, indeed.

She continued, "Moreover, the child's father isn't someone insignificant. He's capable of assisting the Shelberts. Don't you think Dad will value me more?"

"What a joke. If the child's father is as affluent as you claim to be, you wouldn't have struggled for so many years. He's merely a child of a poor man."

Luna raised her brows and asked Mia, "Why don't you ask Ms. Lane over here who the father of my son is? Is he really some poor, unknown man?" Jasmine was momentarily stunned. A glint of suspicion flickered in her eyes as she glanced at Mia. Why was she involved?

Tentatively, Jasmine began, "Is the child related to the Barretts in Bern City?"

She'd heard that Raymond had been close with the Barretts lately. He seemingly wasn't planning to work with the Lanes in Nord City any longer, as he intended to work with a new partner.

Raymond wasn't well acquainted with Bern City in the past, but it all makes sense now if the child was related to the Barretts.

Luna smirked. "Clever, aren't you? Congratulations, you're right. My son is related to the Barretts in Bern City."

Mia sneered. "He's just an illegitimate child. There's nothing to be proud of."

Luna's expression changed drastically. "What are you talking about? My husband is the second son of the Barrett family. He's a legitimate descendant of the family."

Mia immediately rebuked, "Legitimate descendant? Why don't you go ask Sharon whether she acknowledges him? He's just a child born out of Mr. Barrett Senior's wedlock with some woman outside. His existence was never made known, and neither does the Barrett family acknowledge his status. What is there to boast about?"

Jasmine snickered. "Oh, so he's an illegitimate son as well. It appears that illegitimate children always tend to hook up with each other, no? And now you've even given birth to an illegitimate son! Birds of a feather really do flock together."

Luna was seething. She bellowed, "Shut up! Who are you calling an illegitimate child? My mother was the legitimate wife back then. Your mother was merely a mistress!" Regaining her composure, Jasmine quipped, "Stop trying to make yourself look good. With your mom's poor background, it's impossible for her to marry a wealthy man."

Luna's blood boiled. Noticing the limited edition bag on the table, she yelled, "Wrap this bag up for me!"

The manager, who had been lingering nearby for some time, hurried forward. "Alright, no problem."

Luke had to immediately tend to a confrontation that broke out in the VIP lounge, after all.

Fortunately, it was a private matter between his customers and it wasn't related to the store at all. How be wished he could escort them away as soon as possible to avoid trouble.

However, Jasmine grabbed the bag and glared at Luke. "I saw this bag first. If anyone is buying it, it's me. She doesn't have the right to do so."

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1003-In truth, Jasmine wasn't even that interested in bags. Luxurious bags like these were within her reach since she was young.

However, she didn't feel like letting the bag go to Luna. That bitch came back to take her father away from her, and she even had the audacity to wrest their family's property away. She simply wouldn't allow it.

Luna smirked and produced a card. "Sorry, but I have a VIP membership card. I have the priority to purchase anything in the store first. As for you, I heard that Mr. Shelbert didn't give his children too many privileges to set a good impression on the public and to teach you some morals. That means you don't have a VIP card, right?"

Luna had won this time.

Jasmine's face flushed with anger. Indeed, she didn't have a VIP membership card. Still, she could've just used her mother's card if she wanted to buy anything.

However, she hadn't expected Raymond to get a VIP membership card for Luna. She felt humiliated.

Looking at Luke, Luna stated, "I should be prioritized since I'm the VIP. Wrap this up for me."

Avril chimed in, "Yeah, Luna's a distinguished VIP. I'm sure you can tell who Mr. Shelbert favors now, don't you?"

Jasmine nearly combusted with anger. "What's so proud about owning a VIP card? I could get one anytime if I wanted to."

"Really? Then go get one right now. If you don't have one, stop acting pretentious. I'm sorry, Jazzy, but this bag is mine today," Luna gloated.

"Don't call me that! I'm not related to you by any means, and neither are you related to the Shelberts."

Just then, Mia took the bag. Glancing at Luke, she said, "We saw this bag first. According to the rules, we should be prioritized."

Avril snapped at her, "Didn't you hear me earlier? Luna is a distinguished VIP-she's different from the regular VIPs."

Mia took out a VIP membership card nonchalantly. "Well, it appears that I'm a VIP as well. What are the chances?"

Luna's expression changed drastically. Scowling at her, she hissed, "Why are you intervening when you're not even buying the bag?"

She knew Mia was a premium VIP as well. Memories of how Mia infuriated Sharon back at the Vior store in Bern City remained vivid in her mind. It was also then that she yearned for a VIP membership card.

To her, owning a VIP membership card meant she could completely rid herself of her poverty and transform into a wealthy lady.

Avril was equally stunned. She didn't expect Mia to own a VIP membership card as well. What should she do now?

Chancing a glance at Luna, Mia et continued, "Sorry, but I'm taking this bag. Even if you have the right to buy it, you don't deserve it." Sv Luna was furious. Having toiled her way to become a VIP member to spite Jasmine, she certainly didn't expect Mia to help Jasmine.

Defiantly, she turned toward Luke and said, "I'm also a premium VIP, and I fancy this bag as well. Also, I called your store in advance and told them that I was coming to see this bag today. It should be mine according to a first-come, n first-served basis."

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1004-Mia smirked. "Luna, you might've become a premium VIP, but you still don't understand what it takes to become one. You can't just call and demand for these limited edition bags, even as a premium VIP. Do you know why?"

Luna was clueless. But she didn't want to appear weak in her response.

Jasmine seized the chance to chime in, "Premium VIPs are ranked according to their spending. If both VIPS desire the same bag, the higher-ranked VIP is prioritized to purchase the bag. It hasn't been long since you owned this card, has it? Have you spent anywhere close to one million dollars yet?"

Jasmine's taunts rendered Luna speechless. Based on her recent spending, she probably spent only around a few hundred thousand dollars. She didn't have much allowance, after all.

Seeing Luna's change in expression, Jasmine continued to add insult to the injury. "Mia is different though. She's one of the highest ranking VIPS on their list, as she spends nearly a few million dollars each time. Having spent only a few hundred thousand dollars, you guys are nowhere near her level."

Luna ground her jaw in rage. Meanwhile, Avril blurted out, "Why can't Luna buy it when she's also a premium VIP? So what if Mia spends a lot? Luna couldn't spend that much because she has just acquired the card lately. She won't have an issue splurging on these goods in the future though."

In an instant, Luna's features softened. "Exactly. Whether Mia will remain as a high-ranking VIP in the future remains unknown."

Jasmine sneered. "Oh, such ignorance! Stop embarrassing yourself by pretending you're loaded if you don't even know this. A child of a mistress is truly just as disgraceful as the mistress herself."

Infuriated, Luna snapped, "You're still being kept in the dark, aren't you? Dad plans to groom my son into the heir of the Shelbert family. Everything in this household will eventually belong to my son one day. What is there to brag about a VIP membership card? All of this will be mine anyway."

She pivoted and took her leave angrily. She was determined to get back at Jasmine for being humiliated today.

Mia was also taken aback when Luna claimed that Raymond was going to groom Asher into his successor. Apparently, she had underestimated Raymond's obsession with having a son. It would take years for such a young child to grow up, though.

It was all thanks to the family of Raymond's wife, Alison, that allowed him to come this far. Yet, it only took a boy for him to change his mind.

Collapsing onto the couch in despair, Jasmine cried out, "What do I do, Mia? My mom hasn't been in good health for the past few years. She'd be devastated if she finds out about this. After all, she loves my dad and she's never doubted him."

No one could ever expect the unpredictability of the human heart.

Mia also felt at a loss, unsure of how to comfort her. She paused and said, "Actually, I knew about this already. In fact, I arranged for you and Luna to bump into each other here." She told Jasmine the truth. Gaping at her, Jasmine questioned, "Why did you do that?"

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1005-"You know Luna is related to the Barretts as well, right? My ex-husband is the CEO of Barrett Group, and the Barretts thought Luna's son was Timothy's son. She'd been staying with the Barretts before she returned to Nord City. She's also hell-bent on having Asher take over the Barrett family."

"How dare she?"

"She's very ambitious. That's why I've had conflicts with her before, and I wanted to get rid of her through you."

Understanding her intentions, Jasmine murmured gloomily, "But my dad has already decided to groom that child into his successor. What can I do? Just because I'm not a boy, all my efforts meant nothing to my father no matter how hard I try."

"You can't give up just yet. You need to pull yourself together for your mother's sake. Not only is Luna very ambitious and resourceful, she's even willing to go to extreme lengths to achieve her goals. If you're not careful, you and your mother might end up gaining nothing at all. Both of you might even be in deep waters by then. She won't show any mercy."

Jasmine's expression changed drastically. "I won't let Luna have her way. My mom sacrificed so much, including her health, just to help my father become the mayor. If Luna's going to destroy all this, I'll make sure my father falls from power the same way he rose to it."

"Actually, there's no need to go to such extreme lengths. It's quite unrealistic to execute it as well, and it might ruin both of you. Your dad will pay a heavy price, but your family will suffer tremendously too. Moreover, your family's business will be destroyed."

"Mia, what shall I do then? I can't just let them have their way. It's all thanks to my mom that my dad has his current position. She had been tirelessly weaving out his plans for him over these years, causing her health to gradually decline. And yet, he still insists on taking his mistress's daughter back to our family, even intending to groom her son into his heir. How could he?"

"You'll have to plan it in the long run."

"What should I do?"

"First of all, you need to feign innocence in front of your dad. Don't let Luna get ahead of you. After all, your father is bound to feel remorse toward you."

"If he really does, he wouldn't have brought Luna and her child back to our family. He won't groom her child into his heir if he was really remorseful."

"Nope, you should act vulnerable now. Your dad just wants a grandson, right? Agree to let Asher into the Shelbert family, but under one condition-Luna isn't allowed to return to your family." Dumbfounded, Jasmine inquired, "I don't quite understand. Why should I let that boy into our family and inherit everything from us?"

Feeling quite emotional, she continued, "It's all thanks to my grandma's background that my father got to where he is today. Why should I let his mistress's daughter take everything away from us? Even if this is an act, I can't do it."

"This isn't just an act. You have to be aware that your father is the head of your family now he no longer has to rely on your family. So, confronting him head-on won't do you any good. You have to play along.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1006

Jasmine fell silent.

As the silence stretched on, Mia continued, "Promise your father that you'll take the child back to your family. But at the same time, you need to talk to your mother and your grandmother's side of the family. Say that you're willing to let this child stay in your family, and you'll educate him properly. Both of you will support each other and inherit everything in the family."

"My grandmother won't agree to this. She'll surely demand justice for my mother," Jasmine said.

"I know your grandma adores you. However, you can make a secret deal with her. Put on an act and let your grandma scold you. This is a great opportunity for you." Jasmine was perplexed. "I still don't quite understand."

"Your father will think that you're on his side after you do this. It'll seem like you betrayed your grandmother's side for the sake of his benefit. So, he will side with you and Luna won't have the chance to sow discord between you two.

"Then, you should seize the opportunity to gain control of your father's companies and assets. If you take the child back with you, it'll take more than a decade for the kid to grow up and compete with you for these properties. There will be plenty of time for you to work on your plan."

Even Mia was slightly surprised at herself after laying out her plan. If she were her old self, she would probably feel as helpless as Jasmine was. Yet, she now knew how to handle such situations after going through various ordeals herself.

Jasmine began, "My father is a cunning man. He won't buy it easily. Besides, my acting also sucks. He'll definitely see right through me."

"After all these arrangements, tell your father that you're not going to marry in the future. Instead, you'll have a guy marry into your family and your child will take on your family's last name as well. In this case, Luna's child will no longer be special."

Rubbing her face, Jasmine expressed, "Thanks. I know you're saying all this for my own good, but I still need to consider."

Just then, her phone rang.

Mia noticed that it was Raymond calling her. Evidently, Luna was already one step ahead of Jasmine in seeking his empathy, which was why he called.

Jasmine answered the phone, "Hello, Dad."

Raymond bellowed from the other end of the call, "Where are you now? Come back home this instant! I have something important to tell you."

The call was disconnected before Jasmine could ask what's wrong. She turned toward Mia with a sarcastic expression, saying, "You were right. Luna's already made her move."

"Don't worry. Go back and see what's going on first. I believe you'll excel in this if you really set your mind to it. Having received the best education from your family, you wouldn't possibly lose to Luna, right? She's merely a trickster." Jasmine nodded. "Alright, I'll see how it goes. Thank you, anyway. If it weren't for you, my mom and I would still be kept in the dark. By the time we found out, it'd definitely be too late."

"You don't need to thank me. In fact, I'm only doing this for my own sake. I have a feud with Luna as well, so have to eliminate her advantages in this situation. She can't become your father's legitimate daughter. Otherwise, I'll also be in trouble by then."

Luna would surely become a nuisance once she gained power She had almost prevented Sage from receiving his bone marrow treatment. Thus, Mia had to stop her from climbing up the social ladder.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1007-"Rest assured, I won't let Luna have her way. She's merely a woman who is still serving a prison sentence, so she has no right to dally around in Nord City. She should be back at Bern City, serving her time." Jasmine rose and left swiftly, leaving Mia alone on the couch. She glanced at the latest edition bag and said to Luke, "Wrap it up and send it to the Shelbert family."

Luna would be infuriated if she saw the bag. The bag suited Jasmine, though.

Mia was intrigued to find out how Luna would act if Jasmine convinced her family to accept Asher into the family, but not Luna.

After all, Luna was only acting the way she was now because Raymond agreed to adopt Asher, which granted her grandeur in return.

If the Shelberts agreed to adopt Asher only, Luna would lose her leverage. Raymond desired a boy as his successor, and it'd be best for him if the Shelbert family was willing to accept the child. It would be a breeze for him to take a child away in Nord City.

Mia felt a little sympathy for Asher. Ever since he was born, Luna had used him as a bargaining chip for her own benefit. She came to the Barrett family first, and now she'd turned to Raymond once the Barretts appeared unreliable.

When Mia left the mall, Peyton approached her and said, "Yellow Island has already sent someone over to deal with the situation, and Mr. Dominic's assistant has gone to handle it. Do you want to contact Mr. Dominic and discuss how to handle this? Yellow Island is a sensitive topic, after all."

"I know. I'll go home later tonight."

Mia knew trouble was inevitable after she got into a conflict with the Yellow Islanders. Dominic would definitely intervene by then, but she was unfazed. Louisa had caused such a huge scene at the research institute that day, so how could she stand by and let her disrupt the staff's routine?

Sage's treatment depended on the research institute, after all.

Mia noticed Ginger was making some handicrafts when she arrived home. Surprised, she went up to her and asked, "What are you doing, Ginger?"

"Sage is coming back to school with me next month. I'm going to make some gifts for him to give to my teachers and classmates, so he can get close to them. Then, he'll have friends too."

Ginger beamed at her. It was the first time Mia saw her being this attentive in making handicrafts.

Stroking Ginger's head, Mia said, "With you around Sage, he'll definitely have friends in kindergarten. I don't have to worry because you'll protect him."

"Of course you don't have to worry, Mommy! I'll take good care of Sage."

Eve chuckled. "Ever since Ginger found out the exact date Sage is returning to kindergarten, she has been insisting on preparing gifts. She didn't go out to play all afternoon today. Instead, she has been making gifts in the living room. She didn't ask for help from others either."

Ginger has always been pampered by everyone in the Lane family, and even the maids doted on her. There would always be people assisting her if she were to do something. Her past creations used to be crooked, and the maids always helped her perfect her handicrafts. However, she didn't let anyone help her this time.

Casting a benevolent look at Ginger, Mia remembered that Sage only agreed to attend kindergarten after hearing Ginger boast about having a brother. He didn't want to disappoint her.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1008-Dominic returned home on time for dinner. Eva turned toward him and quipped, "I can't believe my eyes. You actually came back for dinner despite being so busy." Dominic took her hand after removing his coat. "Yeah, right. You wouldn't have texted me and said that Mia came back for dinner if you didn't want me to come back." As he spoke, he glanced at Mia. "Mia, come. I've got something to discuss with you."

Mia knew Dominic wanted to talk to her, so she came back home for dinner today. She went outside with him and stared at him.

"Dominic, did I cause you any trouble because of the Yellow Islanders?"

"Mia, I've told you that nothing you do will ever cause me any trouble. Yellow Island has indeed sent someone over, but don't worry. It's only right of you to kick them out when they made a scene at the research institute. If I were there that day, it wouldn't have been as simple as sending them to the district."

Dominic was aware that the research institute was responsible for Sage's treatment as well. He also saw how the Yellow Islanders could barge in so easily to cause trouble.

Mia stuck out her tongue. "That's a relief. The Yellow Islanders have been particularly persistent. Also, we haven't been on good terms with the mayor lately either. If he decides to work with Yellow Island to target our family, we'll be in deep trouble."

Ruffling her hair, Dominic said, "Don't worry about this. Mr. Shelbert is getting ahead of himself lately. He has reached out to the Barretts, but he's also working with Yellow Island at the same time. I know what he's up to."

"But if he really forms an alliance with the Yarrows and the Barretts, he'll definitely target our family."

"Are you worried that I'll be targeted, or are you worried that we'll have to confront the Barretts?" Dominic asked.

"It doesn't matter if we confront the Barretts. Just settle it like how we usually do. What I'm worried about is fact that Mr. Shelbert has an limate daughter." Dominic arched his brows. "Mr. Shelbert has an illegitimate daughter? Tell me more about it. How did you find out?

"It's not uncommon to have illegitimate children in families like his, but there must be a reason for you to specifically bring it up."

Mia began, "His illegitimate daughter is Luna. She was initially serving her time in Bern City, but he secretly brought her to Nord City." "What? That woman was brought away?"

Dominic's expression soured. He knew who Luna was since she had secretly swapped the bone marrow and nearly caused Sage to have an accident.

He even personally dispatched a legal team to handle the matter, deliberately causing her to serve a heavier sentence so she'd pay a price in prison.

"Yeah. I only found out about this by chance when I attended a charity banquet last time. I never expected Luna to be Mr. Shelbert's illegitimate daughter. Moreover, it seems like he intends to have her stay in Nord City. He even wants to make a deal with me."

"I guess Mr. Shelbert must've used me to threaten you."

Mia nodded. "But I couldn't care less. I pretended to agree, but I could still work on many things."

Relieved, Dominic said, "You're my sister, indeed. You're all grown up now. But let me handle this matter. A woman who's been in prison doesn't deserve your time. S A hint of murderous intent flickered in his eyes. Anyone who dared to take advantage of Mia was dead meat to him.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1009-Sensing the malice in Dominic's eyes, Mia tugged on his hand in a haste. She urged him not to act impulsively. She knew he adored her, always standing by her side whenever something happened. "Dominic, you don't have to intervene. I can settle such trivial matters on my own. As for issues related to Yellow Island, I'll have to ask for your help."

Seeing how unyielding she was, Dominic sighed. "Mia, I could've just gotten rid of these annoying people for you."

"I know you mean well, but you don't have to be directly involved in dealing with such trifles."

Dominic scoffed. "Fine. But tell me if Luna goes overboard. It's a piece of cake for me to have someone like her dealt with in Nord City."

"Sure, but letting her disappear so easily is too light of a punishment for her."

Mia didn't want to trouble Dominic. He was already swamped with work to begin with, and he had even more on his plate now after the Yellow Island incident. Raymond would likely seize the chance to pressure him by rallying the Yellow Islanders, after all.

Dealing with Luna was something she could handle on her own.

Furrowing his brows, Dominic was reluctant to comply. Mia tugged at his arm and cooed, "Dominic, please just agree with me."

His features finally softened. Feeling resigned, he began, "If you have time for this, you should've gone on a vacation abroad instead. Go see the aurora or surf by the beach."

"I'm already getting sick of it. I just want to deal with Luna personally."

"Does it really make a difference if I handle it in your stead?"

"It does. For the past few years, you've been worried that Timothy will find me. I kept a low profile instead, but everyone thought I was vulnerable. So, I'll have to act on this opportunity to prove to these people that the Lanes aren't to be messed with."

Finally, Dominic concurred. "Alright, I'll leave it to you. Just let me know if you need any men or funds."

"Alright."

Actually, Mia didn't lack money at all. Having established companies and projects over the years, she had filled her pockets to the brim.

Both of them returned to the dining room after their discussion was over.

The next day, Mia saw the headlines about Louisa being sent to jail. The news began circulating in the city.

Yellow Island had issued a statement, accusing Nord City of arbitrarily detaining their people. Insinuating that the research institute was being backed by el net prominent figure, they demanded an explanation from the institute.

Turning the tables to their favor was naturally the Yellow Islanders' forte. With their implication, they meant to portray the research institute as an illegal establishment by alleging that the institute had arbitrarily detained their people.

It was truly in line with the Yellow Islanders' usual approach-hypocritical and shameless.

Mia immediately called Peyton. "Where's the video we have? Get the PR department to release it right away. We absolutely cannot let Yellow Island take control of the narrative." The Yellow Islanders had the gall to make such accusations because they thought Mia didn't have any evidence.

Or, they figured the institute wouldn't dare to offend them, so they chose to recede. Well, this might have worked for them in the past, but they've messed with the wrong person.

Soon, the video was uploaded to the internet. As Louisa's audacious speech was spread all over the el internet, it caused an instant sensation. The number of views skyrocketed, stirring public outrage.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1010-It was already too late when Yellow Island realized that things were spiraling out of control. With the public opinion against Louisa now, everyone was attacking her from all sides. "It's been centuries since the royal family has existed, yet she's still acting so high and mighty."

"Yeah, the Yellow Islanders think they're better than everyone. I've worked with people from Yellow Island before, and even a minor administrative staff member is so arrogant. Let alone this woman here, who is clearly of high status."

"Exactly. They're finally being exposed. Claiming themselves as the descendants of the royal family, they've always looked down on others. They think that we commoners aren't even worthy of talking to them. "In ancient times, even kings bear the same punishment as commoners if they committed a crime. In this modern day and age, it's only right to punish the Yellow Islanders according to the law if they violated the law in Nord City."

"Hurry up and tag the mayor. Let him handle this matter."

Soon, Mia noticed the public opinion shifting toward Raymond, with everyone awaiting his response in regard to this incident. After all, he'd just issued some regulations regarding the law lately and they had been blatantly violated by Louisa.

In fact, Mia was also curious about how Raymond would approach this matter. In light of him constantly reaching out to the Yellow Islanders, it implied that there would be further cooperation with them. The Yellow Islanders would definitely seek Raymond's intervention to deal with this incident. But Raymond had just announced the regulations of the law lately.

If he chose to side with them, he would be contradicting the laws he had previously enacted himself, essentially undermining himself. If he remained neutral, they would surely cease all future cooperation with him given their arrogant nature.

Mia gloated, figuring Raymond must be extremely overwhelmed now. The Yellow Islanders were definitely pressuring him now.

Peyton soon informed her that someone had been trying to diminish the influence of this incident, but to no avail. Louisa'snet brazen remarks had grown.

impactful that it was impossible to remove it from the trending topics.

Mia also specifically instructed Peyton to keep the news trending on social media and not let the heat die down. She wouldn't let the Yellow Islanders off the hook easily, and she was also determined to teach Raymond a lesson.

el Mia was in a good mood. However, she soon received a call from Jasmine. She instantly knew it must be related to Raymond's Perhaps Jasmine had e already made up her mind.

"What's up?"

"Mia, are you free this afternoon? I'd like to invite you out for afternoon tea."

"Where do you want to meet? I'll come over in a while."

After Mia hung up, she figured that Jasmine probably had something urgent to tell her. Even if she had other plans, they would have to wait at times like this.

She arrived at the cafe they had agreed upon earlier. The moment she stepped into the cafe, she spotted Jasmine hurrying over with sunglasses on. She clearly didn't seem well.

They sat down after finding a secluded area. As Jasmine removed her glasses, Mia noticed how swollen and bloodshot her eyes were from crying.

She poured a glass of water for Jasmine. "What exactly happened?"
