Ch. 1091..1100

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1091-It was no wonder Mia suddenly asked him about the collaboration with Aide Castle when they were flying from Bern City to Nord City.

Soon after that, Aide Castle gave in and offered a chance at negotiation to the Barrett Group.

He had a strange feeling back then. Why did Aide Castle suddenly change their mind?

Now, he knew why.

Mia had asked him about the collaboration when she saw that special collaboration proposal brought over by his subordinate.

At that time, he told her that he would ban Aide Castle if they chose not to collaborate with Barrett Group.

Mia had been setting him up all this while! She even mentioned that she knew the owner of Aide Castle and could introduce the owner to him.

He was deceived.

Mia let out a cough as she felt the weight of his questioning gaze on her. "What are you looking at? Got an opinion about it?"

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Timothy sounded aggrieved.

Shelly barked, "Oh, stop pretending, Mia Lane. The manager of Aide Castle is here. He's going to expose you!"

Mia raised her head only to see Philip walking over.

Her brows creased. She already informed someone to fire him.

So why was he still here?

No one could violate the values of Aide Castle. She didn't need an employee like him here.

Shelly smirked. "This is the newly appointed general manager here,

Mr. Philip Landry. Since he's from the management team, he must

vel.net

have met the real owner of Aide ne

Castle himself. But he didn't acknowledge Mia's presence when

he welcomed us. With him, we'll be able to expose her lies." Content

Every step Philip took felt dreadful. He gingerly glanced at Mia, not knowing how to beg for her mercy.

He didn't expect this woman to be the real owner of Aide Castle!

He failed to recognize her and committed a grave sin in front of her. He was given a notice to leave the company completely.

He couldn't afford to lose his job. He had a family to feed. Thus, he thought of coming to beg for forgiveness from Mia to see if he could still stay at Aide Castle.

Luna saw him and flashed a smile.

"Please explain the situation to us. Is

Ms. Lane lying to us? Is she the

owner

ide Castle? I hope you

can straighten things out because the owner personally organized this banquet. It won't be good to have an impersonator around."

Sharon joined in, pushing Mia to the edge. "She's right. Someone showed up and is impersonating the owner of Aide Castle. This will surely affect your organization's name. I hope you can clear things up for us."

Sharon wished for Philip to expose Mia's true colors. That way, Mia would learn her lesson for being arrogant.

Timothy's expression turned serious. "What is there to explain about this?"

He thought that it was unnecessary because Mia was truly the owner of Aide Castle.

Sharon huffed. "Tim, you can't take her side. She's lying! I thought you were going to collaborate with Aide Castle soon. What if an impersonator is deceiving you and you go bankrupt?

"I don't mind that if it's her."

"Are you out of your mind? Mia's a liar!"

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1092-Mia lifted her head to glance at Timothy.

Was he out of his mind?

What did he mean when he said he was willing to go bankrupt as long as it was her?

Besides, she wasn't a liar nor an imposter!

Luna remarked, "It won't do her anything good if you keep forgiving her. The truth can never be covered up by lies. We can expose her at any time. I bet you don't want others to comment on how your ex-wife is a liar, do you?"

Timothy glared at Luna. "Who are you calling a liar? I believe her. I believe that she is the owner of Aide Castle."

"I think you're not in your right state of mind because of her lies, Tim. This is a huge matter. How could you just take her words at face value? The real owner has yet to reveal himself. Is Mia the owner just because she said so? She can't even prove it." Sharon attempted to talk some senses into him.

Shelly chimed in, "She has a point. Not even the general manager admitted that she was the real owner back there. Isn't this enough to tell you that she's lying?"

"Zip it! Behave!" Timothy warned.

Timothy's intimidating glare immediately scared Shelly into keeping quiet.

He turned his head to look at Philip. "Since everyone's asking you to straighten things out, why don't you tell us something? Given your position, you should know who the real owner is. Otherwise, there's no reason for you to continue staying in the company."

Mia arched her brow at how much Timothy understood her. She actually fired Philip over the phone a while ago.

Philip gulped upon hearing that. Taking a deep breath, he presented himself in front of Mia.

Luna's eyes lit up in anticipation. "Say something, Mr. Landry. Is Mia really the owner?"

It would be best if he could mock Mia as well. Luna couldn't accept the fact that Mia was better than her in anything.

Philip bowed 90 degrees, catching Mia off guard as she stepped backward right away. "What are you doing?"

"I was a foot to not know that you are the real owner, and I shouldn't have been rude. But I seriously can't lose this job. I have a family to feed. Please forgive me." His voice was trembling.

Mia didn't know how to respond upon hearing that.

At the same time, the crowd broke into a heated discussion.

"What? Mia Lane is really the owner of Aide Castle?"

"Oh my lord. I didn't expect that! I heard people saying that she's a good-for-nothing-oh, I don't mean it in a bad way-but the Lane family pampered her so much after finally finding her. I didn't hear anything about her starting a business though."

"Of course, you wouldn't have heard anything. When I worked with Aide Castle, I couldn't even find out who the real owner was. I didn't expect it to be Ms. Lane! Everyone in their family has exceptional

achievements. I'm so jealous."

Those voices rang in Luna's ears and her mind buzzed. Her whole world died down.

Her body began shaking as she didn't expect such a turn of events.

Now, it seemed like everyone was laughing at her.

Jasmine intentionally said, "Are you happy now, Luna Maynard? Mia is really the owner of Aide Castle."

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1093-Luna almost bit her lip until it bled.

Jasmine was doing that on purpose.

Luna had always looked down upon Mia, but it turns out that Mia was leading a successful life!

Different emotions bubbled up inside Luna like a storm. There was no way she could regain her composure at the moment.

Luna kept insisting that Mia was a liar.

Now, she was the butt of the joke.

Who would've guessed that Mia was the owner of Aide Castle?

On top of that, Luna desperately wished to hold a birthday party for Asher at Aide Castle.

Like a fool, she kept bragging about how she was going to organize the party at Aide Castle, which was owned by Mia!

There was no way she could accept this humiliating defeat, nor could she counter back with a defence.

Mia looked at Philip. "Get up. Now's not the time to discuss your matter."

"Please forgive me, Ms. Lane. I just became the general manager not long ago. I acted rudely because I didn't know who you were."

She said, "Enough. Don't guilt-trip me. You're fired not because you didn't know me, but because you promised the clients that you could change the appointment sequence secretly for them, right in front of me too. I can't condone that."

Despair weighed heavy on his dropped shoulders.

Mia turned her head to look at Shelly and Sharon, who both looked awkward and stiff right now.

This felt like déjà vu for Mia all over again.

Sharon and Shelly had the same reaction when they realized that Mia was the real heiress of the Lane family.

They hadn't changed one bit even after five years had passed.

Smiling, Mia raised her brows at them. She said nothing, but her gaze alone put them on tenterhook.

They wished they could hide in a hole somewhere. After all, it was embarrassing that they tried to cause a huge ruckus out of the whole situation.

Shelly lowered her head, pretending to check on her wound innocently to avoid people's eyes on her.

Sharon felt the piercing gazes of everyone present on her and stood there awkwardly.

She hadn't expected Mia to be the real owner of Aide Castle either!

Before this, she had bragged about how Aide Castle was going to collaborate with Barrett Group and that she would like to hold a banquet here. Most importantly, she even bragged about it once in front of Mia, like an idiot!

Sharon looked down upon Mia, who turned out to be the real owner of Aide Castle.

Mia must've thought that Sharon was a clown at that time.

Jasmine hurriedly said, "Mrs. Barrett, it seemed you don't know Mia that well. No wonder she left your family. Since then, she has been getting better day by day."

The corner of Sharon's lips twitched.

Other guests started to shower Mia with praises.

"I never knew how capable Ms. Lane was untiktoday. The theme she designed was gorgeous. How nice would it be to have such a talented daughter-in-law? It would beca dream to be close to her."

"I wonder what kind of standards Ms. Lane had set for her future husband. She's exceptional. If she's my daughter-in-law, I will surely treat her well like a queen." Content

Upon hearing that, Sharon's cheeks flushed crimson and her anger surged.

They were basically poking fun at her.

Mia cocked her brow at Sharon. "As I've said, no one can change the rules of setting up appointments at Aide Castle. Do you finally believe me now?"

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1094-It took Sharon a while to think of something to say. "What does that have to do with me? It's not like I want to make a reservation at Aide Castle."

Shelly, who was hiding in a corner, wished to turn invisible at this very moment.

But, to her dismay, someone noticed her immediately.

Doing her best to manage her expression despite the guilt she's feeling, she glanced at Mia and stammered, "I heard that we're going to work together. Can't you turn a blind eye to this for old times' sake?" She really wished to hold a banquet at Aide Castle Hotel. Mia could make it happen with a single lift of a finger.

But why wouldn't Mia relent?

"Old times' sake? I have nothing to do with your family. Even if I do, I won't break our management principles just for you."

Mia's words put Shelly in an awkward position.

Shelly huffed. "What did you mean by that? Are you looking down on us? You're talking as if we're desperate to hold a party at your place."

Timothy piped up, "What rights do you have to say that? A good-for-nothing like you who only knows how to live off the family shouldn't say something like that."

"Tim, how could you say that to me in public?" She stomped her foot and scanned the people around them.

She was supposed to search for a potential husband here. Now that Timothy had described her that way, her chances of marrying a rich man were slim.

"What's the matter? Did I say anything wrong? From now onward, your credit cards will be frozen. Settle your expenses yourself. We don't raise good-for-nothings at home." "Tim, you can't do this to me. You promised Dad to look after me!" she reminded him.

"I did promise that, but it's only until you turn into an adult. I didn't promise to look after you forever. If you talk back to me again, I'll drive you out of the family," he warned. She zipped her lips immediately.

He frowned. "What are you standing there for? Apologize to Mia."

"Why must I apologize to her?" she questioned back.

"Why? Do have to remind you that you accused her of lying? The truth has been revealed. She's the owner of Aide Castle. What is there deft for you to say?"

It pricked at her guilt, but she didn't want to offer an apology.

Then, she looked at Luna. "It's not like I said that alone. Luna said that too, but she hasn't apologized yet."

Luna had yet to pull her senses back because she couldn't accept the fact that Mia was truly the owner of Aide Castle.

The person she had been looking down on all this while turned out to be such a successful person!

Luna appeared to be a failure in an instant. Jealousy overwhelmed her.

Raymond chided, "Luna, apologize to Ms. Lane now. You shouldn't have said anything mindlessly when you didn't know better. People will think badly of us."

"I didn't say that alone though." She was reluctant to apologize too.

He stepped forward and whispered into

Como "You can choose no

you won't be

as one of us anymore."

"But what about Asher?"

"Take him with you!"

Only then did she grasp the gravity of the situation.

If she left the Shelbert family, she would be a nobody, returning to a life of poverty once again.

She had enough of it. She didn't want to live that kind of life again.

Despite her reluctance, she looked at Mia.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1095-Luna had always thought that she wasn't that bad compared to Mia.

Now that she has returned to Raymond's side, she should be considered as someone coming from a rich family herself! She held a high social status in society! But why was she still lacking compared to Mia?

Feeling wronged by the unfairness, she lowered her head. "Sorry. I shouldn't have said those nonsense without thinking," she said rather reluctantly.

Noticing the unwillingness and ambition in Luna's eyes, Mia lost her patience. "It's fine. You and Ms. Barrett are not welcome here. Please leave," she said flatly.

Letting Luna and Shelly stay would only stir up more problems at the party.

"Sorry for the trouble, Ms. Mia," Raymond said in an attempt to lighten the mood.

"Apology accepted, but I don't think Ms. Luna suits this kind of banquet. You should save yourself from becoming a joke, Mr. Shelbert. It is enough for your family to have only Ms. Jasmine. She's good enough. He nodded contentedly. "You're right. Jazzy has never let me down these few years."

On the other hand, his illegitimate daughter who showed up out of nowhere had brought disgrace to his reputation.

Jasmine grinned. "I'm flattered, Ms. Mia."

"What I said wasn't just mere words of courtesy. Everyone saw how the both of you acted today, and it was obvious that you're better. I expect nothing less from Mr. Shelbert's biological daughter."

As soon as Mia finished her sentence, she noticed how fierce Luna's gaze became. It was as if the latter wanted to devour her whole!

Mia spoke up, "Since Mr. Shelbert has offered an apology, let's put an end to this. Forget about what I've said. I hope both of you won't throw a tantrum again." Pretentious acting had always been Luna's way of deceiving others. She had never thought that she would be embarrassed at today's banquet.

Today's banquet was very different from the places Luna had been in the past. The guests here were sly foxes who could tell who was the one playing tricks. At the end of the day, family background and the individual's capability would always be the decisive factors for judgment of character.

Luna had neither the family background nor the capabilities. Even her tricks were that of an amateur.

Raymond looked at Mia. "Still, my daughter has a lot to learn from you, Ms. Mia. You've achieved great achievements despite your young age. You founded Aide Castle. You're one of the most capable women in Nord City. There's a lot she should learn from you."

Mia didn't mind Raymond's change in attitude.

She smiled. "Don't be such a stranger. Jazzy is smart. With a mayor for a father who could teach her great things, she'll reach new heights in life."

His expression softened when he heard that. He even gave Jasmine a look of approval, and he completely forgot about Luna who was still having her wounds treated.

Mia returned her attention to Philip, who was still bowing. "I will never let you work at Aide Castle again. You've broken the principles, after all. There's no way I can forgive that."

Soon, Peyton led a few security guards over to take Philip away.

Mia then turned to the guests and said, "Sorry for meeting everyone in this kind of situation. I've founded and handled Aide Castle single-handedly all these years net Every design here was done by me alone. I poured a lot of effort into them. I hope you'll support us in the future."

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1096-"Why have you been keeping your identity a secret, Ms. Lane? Is there a reason?" someone asked.

Hearing that, Timothy stared at Mia, who was holding a microphone.

She was standing on the stage in a simple evening dress. The stage light shone on her, and she looked like she was the bright moon hanging in the night sky.

"What do you think, Tim? Are you losing confidence now that Mia has made exceptional achievements?"

Hearing Caleb's voice, Timothy looked over his shoulder. "What brought you here?"

"I heard that the banquet was super entertaining, so I rushed over. I didn't want to miss the show. I heard some women got into a fight too. But I guess it's over. What a shame. If I had known that, I would've come along with you."

Timothy was rendered speechless.

Caleb continued, "But I totally didn't expect Mia to be the real owner of Aide Castle. In this case, it's not entirely impossible for you to work with Aide Castle."

"Why do you say so? I think we'll get the deal for sure."

Caleb exclaimed, "On what grounds, Tim?"

Just who had boosted Timothy's confidence?

Mia had six brothers backing her up!

Timothy rolled up his sleeves calmly. "Connection is important when it comes to joint ventures. Think about the relationship I have with Mia. Do you think there would be a problem?" Caleb retorted cruelly, "Do I have to remind you that you haven't even won her heart back yet? Stop dreaming about working with her in business. I'm telling you, you don't stand a chance!" "Shut up. Enough." Timothy didn't want to continue the conversation with Caleb any longer.

He lifted his head, refocusing his gaze on Mia on the stage.

The sheer sight of her softened his gaze.

Mia, who was incredibly meek back then, had transformed into a woman so stunning that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

From the stage, Mia could feel his intrusive gaze.

She noticed him from the corner of her eyes. His gaze was so deep that she couldn't get used to it.

Why was he looking at her?

She took a deep breath. "I kept my identity a secret because I wanted to prove that I can run a business successfully without the help of my family."

As soon as she finished, Timothy was the first to clap his hands, leading the guests to join in a thunderous applause for her.

Everyone was aware of their relationship.

Timothy was Mia's ex-husband while she was the only daughter of the Lane family.

She could have enjoyed her life free from woes and stress, but she chose to show everyone how talented and hard-working she was instead.

The guests present at the banquet

began to think about their feckless children and sighed. They wished they could turn back time and raise them better.

Just how did the Lane family get lucky with such a wonderful daughter?

The guests began to compare their children with Mia, there was no end to the jealousy they felt toward the Lane family.

Jasmine clapped her hands with passion, as she was able to come this far thanks to Mia. Mia helped her a lot from behind the scenes.

Jasmine purposely cast a gaze at Luna, who was sitting next to her. Mia had clearly driven Luna out of the place, but she chose to stay so brazenly. No one could imagine how shameless she could be.

Jasmine said intentionally, "Luna, you should learn more from Mia. Look. She's of your age, but she has already established her own company, a successful company at that."

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1097-Luna watched Mia standing on the stage as jealousy filled her to the brim.

This entire time, Luna had never thought that she performed worse than Mia.

But the sight of Mia getting the spotlight right now angered her.

Luna smirked. "You have got to be kidding me, Jasmine. Mia's business gained success because of her family's investment and connection, no? If she was still an orphan, would her business have been successful?"

Jasmine retorted, "At least she's talented. She designed all of these herself."

"There are a bunch of talents out there, but running a successful business is different. Without enough investment and her family's help, would she have been able to come this far?"

Luna lowered her voice as she continued, "I can see that you're taking her side, but she's just using you to get rid of me. What do you take her for? Someone kind who doesn't have ulterior motives?" Jasmine noticed the jealousy written over Luna's face. "Is it that difficult for you to admit that someone else is extraordinary? Dad taught me to be humble and learn from others since young. Hard work is what fills the gap, not jealousy," Jasmine said.

Raymond turned his head and said, "I think Jazzy is right. Look at Ms. Mia. She keeps a low profile. She did such a good job of keeping everyone else in the dark before gaining success with her business. Both of you should learn this from her."

Luna rolled her eyes when he told them to set Mia as their exemplary model.

There was no way Luna was going to look up to Mia. She believed that she was just as good as Mia!

If she was the daughter of the Lane family, she believed that she would've done way better than Mia.

Raymond advised Jasmine, "You should be on good terms with Ms. Mia."

He noticed Timothy's attitude toward Luna earlier. It was obvious that she didn't have proper standing in the Barrett family.

Now, he slightly regretted bringing her back to his family. He shouldn't have bought her lies.

Luna whispered, "Dad, didn't you tell us to keep our distance from the Lane family? We're going to work with the Barrett family, after all."

"Zip it! When did I say that? The Lanes and the Barretts have formed a marriage alliance. Mia and Timothy even have a child together! They're a family."

She huffed. "They divorced five years ago, Dad. They will never get back together again."

Jasmine smiled and remarked, "How funny. How are you so sure that they won't remarry? Do you think Timothy will lower his standards and fall for you?" "Why not? I'm the daughter of the mayor. What do I lack?" Luna snapped back.

Jasmine arched her brow. "Don't forget, Timothy is Asher's biological uncle. It seems you've forgotten. what kind of relationship your child has with him. I'm sure he's smart enough not to be with you. Content

Raymond nodded. "Luna, you must be on good terms with the Barrett family. You better be nice when talking to Ms. Mia. Do you hear me?"

Luna almost lost it. The voice in her head kept telling her that she shouldn't have attended today's banquet.

She initially thought that this banquet would mark the beginning of her prime, but it became her nightmare instead.

Meanwhile, Mia had just finished her speech.

She then spoke with the collaborators of Aide Castle after walking down the stage.

Timothy's expression turned grim when he noticed a man following Mia around earnestly.

He held his wine glass tightly, and his eyes never left her. There were a few men trying to get into her good books.

Those men were like annoying flies to him.

Caleb rubbed his chin as he

commented, "Are you not going to do anything, Tim? If you stay still and watch for any second longer, someone might steal your wife away."

Sharon bulldozed her way over. "Tim, look at Mia. She's all puffed up! Look at the men swarming around her. How disgraceful! Can't you see her true colors?"

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1098-Timothy responded coldly, "If there are this many capable men around her, that means she's capable."

After saying that, he put his wine glass down before walking in Mia's direction.

Sharon stomped her foot, feeling frustrated.

Caleb flashed a meaningful smile. "Mrs. Barrett, is it this hard to admit someone else's capability? You should be proud to have had such a successful daughter-in-law. You shouldn't think that you can control her because these are her achievements. We should respect each other, not take each other down."

He just couldn't get why Sharon disliked Mia.

Well, Sharon might have had a reason to look down on Mia previously because of her identity as an orphan.

But Mia was now the daughter of the Lane family. She is now at the top of the social ladder.

However, Sharon's attitude toward Mia hadn't changed.

Sharon gritted her teeth and remarked, "You know nothing. You haven't even gotten married yet."

"Have you ever thought of what would happen if they really remarry each other? What good would you gain from offending her now?" He tried to reason with her.

"Don't give me a lecture. I simply think that she's not fit for my son." She spun around and left angrily.

Shelly followed her. "Aunt Sharon, leaving so soon already? Are you not going to introduce me to Mrs. Giacometti and the others? We should stay here longer so that they can get to know me."

Sharon sneered. "Are you still dreaming of marrying into a rich family? The fight just now left a bad impression on them, Shelly."

Shelly gulped. She felt guilty. "What about the promise you made before we came? You should figure out something to book a slot at Aide Castle so that I can host a party here."

Sharon looked at her in disbelief. She really couldn't fathom what was going on in Shelly's mind.

How could Shelly bring that matter up now?

"Mia is the real owner of Aide Castle, do you think she'll let you hold a banquet here? You may not have pride, and you may not feel humiliated, but I do."

Sharon would never beg Mia. Not over her dead body.

Sharon left and Shelly wanted to chase after her, but she couldn't run fast due to her injured ankle.

Left with no choice, she bit her lip angrily.

Who would've thought that Mia was the real owner of Aide Castle? No one expected her to be this successful.

Shelly stared at Mia, who was standing in the middle of the crowd like a proud princess.

Jealousy coursed through her veins.

The once meek and obedient Mia had now become the most dazzling person who ever existed.

While Mia was conversing with her acquaintances, a man kept chiming in to show off his knowledge, making her slightly uncomfortable.

"I think we click very well, Ms. Mia.

Why don't we exchange contact

number

We can hang out alone and talk about the possibility of a collaboration when we're free."

Mia didn't want to give him her contact number at all. She swirled her wine glass. "If it's

business-related, you may contact my secretary or meet me personally at my office."

"We're friends, aren't we, Ms. Mia? Can't you give me your personal contact number?"

"That's not something anyone can have," she said.

"Although you've run Aide Castle

successfully, there are tips that I can

share for improvements in some areas. This is how business works. You should expose yourself more to the real world or your company won't be able to grow well under your management. Don't you think so?"

Mia's expression darkened.

Just as she was about to say something, a man's voice sounded from behind them.

"Beggars should expose themselves more to the real world too."

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1099-As soon as Timothy showed up, the atmosphere shifted.

The other men could not be compared to Timothy. None of their looks, heights or achievements could match that of Timothy's.

Mia couldn't help but turn her attention to Timothy. He was indeed handsome.

The man who had been showing off earlier lost his confidence upon noticing Timothy.

Still, his stance remained firm as his pride wouldn't let him back down. "What did you mean by that, Mr. Barrett?"

"You can't understand what I've just said?"

The man gulped. "How can I understand it when you've put it so vaguely?"

Timothy remarked, "That's true. How could you possibly understand me when you've learned how to do business from beggars?"

"It's unreasonable of you to say that, Mr. Barrett. I founded a big company all by myself, and I'm the one running it now. I'm different from people like you. You're just an elite who was born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Everything was handed to you. If you were in my position, you wouldn't even be able to achieve what I have now."

Heath whispered to Timothy, informing him of the man's background.

Timothy smirked. "You founded the company, you said? You leeched off your girlfriend and dumped her after your company became successful. Is this how you achieved your success?"

The man's face fell as he didn't expect Timothy to discover the truth of his background that quickly.

The man thought that he had taken care of things well. Not many people in his circle were aware of it.

Mia narrowed her eyes. "I despise this kind of man the most."

The man tried his best to remain calm. "It's not a big issue. Successful people shouldn't dwell on such trivial matters. Besides, fm proposing a business collaboration with you here. My personal matters shouldn't concern you." Content

"I agree that the business proposal is indeed unrelated to your personal matters, but I remain skeptical about your capability. I would never work with you," Mia rejected him without hesitation.

Her prompt response put him in an

awkward position and his anger got

the best of him. "Who do you el

you are? You're just a divorced woman and a single mother! I proposed a collaboration with you out of courtesy. You should be grateful I was giving you a chance!"

As soon as the man finished, Timothy punched him in the face.

The man staggered and knelt on the ground. The corners of his lips were bleeding.

Timothy took a step forward. He looked like a grim reaper.

Not a single word was uttered, but an intimidating air loomed over him. His gentle persona was replaced by a menacing demeanor.

Timothy's scrutinizing gaze weighed heavily on the man's shoulders, gradually tearing his spirits down. He stammered, "Y-You hit me? You're dead meat! I'll have my lawyer send you to prison!"

"Apologize to her," Timothy said.

"Apologize to her?" The man thought he heard it wrongly.

Timothy repeated, "Yes. Apologize to Ms. Mia."

The man pointed at Mia. "Why should I apologize to this woman? She acted up first. And you hit me Guys, this couple is bullying me! I'm telling you, I will not let this slide that easily. You're going to pay for this!

There are laws in Nord City Content

"I agree. This is a civilized city, unlike Yellow Island." Timothy held the man's pointing finger before bending it in the opposite direction.

The man screamed in pain, but Timothy remained unfazed.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1100-Timothy glared at the man. "Did you not hear me? I told you to apologize to my ex-wife."

Surprised, Mia looked at Timothy, whose anger seemed to come from nowhere.

Mia looked baffled, the situation hasn't fully registered in her yet.

After all, it had been years since they last met. No longer the supercilious man he was five years ago, he now became careful around her.

He never felt angry too, even when he faced her mockery.

She was so used to his change that she had almost forgotten that he was never a guy with a mild temper.

At that moment, the man who had always been gentle and attentive to her became a merciless businessman.

Mia pulled her senses back and walked over to them. She instructed Timothy, "Let him go first."

He frowned, looking at the man who was still kneeling on the floor. "Apologize to her and I'll let you go." Despite the pain, the man was reluctant to admit his defeat. He raised his voice daringly. "Over my dead body!"

"You have a death wish."

Mia pulled Timothy's arm and looked at him seriously. "Let him go first, then we'll talk, okay?"

Turning his head sideways, he gazed at her. Gentleness willed away the coldness in his eyes.

In the end, he released the man.

The man quickly helped himself up, and began running his foul mouth again. "Feeling scared already? Coward! I thought you were a man when you hit me, but you're just an obedient puppy who listens to women!"

Suddenly, Mia slapped the man with all her might. Pain numbed her palm. She scowled. "What's your name?"

"You can call me Mr. Obel-"

"Mr. Obel," Mia cut Wallace Obel off. "I will file a lawsuit against you tomorrow for causing a ruckus at the party."

The man was baffled. "I was the one who got hit though! And you want to sue me? How dare you!"

"You sexually harassed me first. And

my ex-husband stood up for me

Bel.net

because he couldn't stand it." She continued, "I dare to sue you because my brother is the best lawyer in the largest law firm in Nord City. With the best lawyer on my side, I don't think sending you to

prison would be a problem."
