Ch. 1101..1110

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1101-Mia raised an eyebrow. "So, do you think the Lanes need one whole month to get rid of a useless piece of junk like you?"

Before the man could say a word, the security guard covered his mouth and dragged him out mercilessly.

Mia glanced at the surrounding guests calmly and said, "So sorry for the chaos. But I believe today's business banquet is not a waste of time for all of you. "After all, other than the conflict just now, the earlier fight between Luna and Shelly must have provided everyone with much entertainment."

Her straightforward words lightened the atmosphere.

Mia was the daughter of the Lane family. She had six protective brothers who doted on her.

If any of her brothers were present today, the rude man would have faced a consequence a hundred times worse than what he had faced earlier.

The overprotective brothers of the Lane family would do anything to defend their dear sister, Mia.

Mia said again, "Today's banquet ends here. Feel free to contact me if anyone has any proposals for collaborations."

"Ms. Lane, you're too humble. We all have absolute confidence in a young and capable person like you."

Mia nodded her head with a smile. Then, she stood at the entrance to bid farewell to all the guests who attended today's business banquet. She had not expected so many unforeseen circumstances to happen during the banquet.

Soon, over half the guests left.

But Timothy was still around, standing right next to her.

Seeing this scene, those who were tactful did not ask any questions. After all, this was none of their business.

But many sighed inwardly. Timothy was Mia's ex-husband, so their sons could never compare to him even if they were born again.

Raymond came up to Mia and said

politely, "Ms Lane, I'll inform the security department about the

earlier incident. Since the other party provoked you first, I'll surely get back to you with a satisfactory answer."

Mia's smile grew wider as she said, "Thank you, Mr. Shelbert."

"It's just a small matter. You're Jazzy's close friend. Of course I have to help you."

Then, Raymond added, "Jazzy's

mother has been unwell recently, so Jazzy wants to organize a banquet

for her mother. But Aide Castle Hotel is fully booked. Could Ms. Lane

please help to make some

ΛΟ

arrangements?"

When Jasmine heard his words, the smile on her face froze. "Dad, how could you do this?"

After today's incident, she thought her father would finally know of Luna's true colors and realized that letting this woman return to the Shelbert family would do no good. She did not expect her father to ask about the banquet reservation using her mother's name as an excuse.

Did this not show that he still wanted Luna to remain in the Shelbert family?

Jasmine's gaze reflected a hint of sarcasm.

Mia's expression darkened. She was surprised that Raymond was still hoping to adopt Asher.

His earlier friendly gesture had a hidden motive.

Mia said courteously, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shelbert. I believe you know how strict Aide Castle Hotel's reservation policy is. There's nothing I can do about it.

"But I heard that you have made

another banquet reservation previously. Why don't you use it to organize the birthday banquet? I think this is the best way to go about it. I can design a theme for Mrs. Shelbert's birthday for free

There was no way Mia would compromise her principles.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1102-Raymond thought that if he did Mia a favor, she would help him with the hotel reservation.

However, even without Raymond's help, Mia could solve the issue on her own. After all, the Lanes were no pushovers in Nord City.

Raymond felt embarrassed when Mia rejected him. "Ms. Lane, the Lanes have always been close to our family. Why wouldn't you do us this small favor?"

"Mr. Shelbert, why can't you organize the birthday party using the previous reservation you made here? Or is there something else more important than your wife's birthday?" Mia retorted.

Jasmine remained silent while listening to the conversation. She knew what her father was trying to do.

When Raymond wanted to say more, Timothy stepped in and said, "Mr. Shelbert, please don't make things difficult for her."

Displeasure was written all over Timothy's face. He did not know what was wrong with Raymond.

Mia had made it clear that she wouldn't adjust the hotel reservations because of personal relationships.

How could Raymond force Mia right in front of him? Was Timothy invisible to Raymond or something?

Raymond recalled the scene where Timothy hit someone just now. He had always thought that Timothy became successful because of his family, but today, he discovered the dark side of this man. This realization made Raymond start to fear Timothy.

In the end, Raymond said nothing. He turned around and left the business banquet.

Meanwhile, Luna was limping at the side of the hall. She turned around and gazed at Timothy. But he fixed his eyes on Mia and did not look at anyone else.

Luna felt a tinge of sorrow in her heart. Sooner or later, she would prove to Timothy that she was better than Mia.

She would also take revenge for the humiliation she experienced today.

Jasmine stayed back and looked at Mia. "Thank you, Mia. I'll treat you to a meal one day. I need to go now. Goodbye!"

Since Timothy was here, she did not want to be a third wheel.

"Okay, bye! See you another day."

Mia felt that she should let Jasmine know some things about Luna.

She would never allow the woman who hurt her and almost killed her son to go unpunished.

Later, all the guests left.

The hall soon became quiet.

Mia knew that the man beside her had never left. Pretending not to see him, she talked to her secretary about what had happened today, including the incident involving Philip.

She was certain that someone had orchestrated this behind the scenes. That was why Philip dared to do such things openly.

She asked her secretary to get to the bottom of this matter so that it would not tarnish the hotel's reputation.

Peyton nodded. "Okay, I'll look into the matter carefully and reinforce the staff training."

"And also, many things happened today. Remember to communicate with the reporters, telling them what they should and should not say. Do you understand?" Mia instructed.

Mis felt that the pretentious woman, Luna,

oht have been the one who

trouble since she was el

t at the banquet toda

She had to take some precautions beforehand.

Peyton lifted his head. "Is there anything else, Ms. Mia?"

"Ya, there's one more thing, but it slipped my mind. Let me try to recall it."

Peyton was speechless. He was certain Mia was just trying to stall for time to avoid someone.

Standing where she was, Mia was lost in thought when she heard the footsteps of a man drawing near.

"Is there anything wrong?" Timothy asked in a low voice.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1103-Mia paused for a moment after hearing Timothy's voice. Why was he still around?

She turned to look at him. "Everything's fine. It's just that there are quite a few company affairs to be handled today."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"No, thanks. It's getting late. Mr. Barrett, if there's nothing else, you may leave," Mia said.

Timothy grasped the meaning of her words. "I'm waiting for you to get off work," he said bluntly.

Mia raised her brows. Didn't Timothy know that she was chasing him away?

However, Timothy stood rooted to the spot, as though he did not understand what she just said.

Mia knew he was pretending.

"As you can see, a lot of things happened today. I have to work overtime and might get off work very late. You don't have to wait for me." Timothy let out a faint sigh. "I don't mind waiting for you no matter how late it will be."

Mia was at her wits' end.

She turned to Peyton and said, "Let's go."

Peyton was confused. "Where are we going? Haven't you already finished instructing me about work just now?"

Mia's expression seemed a little uneasy. "We're going to work overtime. So much has happened today, so I have to keep an eye on things."

Peyton understood and nodded. "Oh... I see."

Mia glanced at her naive secretary. He was quick-witted normally, but why was he dense now?

Mia walked to the office and looked at Peyton. "Peyton, do you know that a secretary could lose his job if he doesn't have good common sense or can't read the room?"

Peyton was aggrieved as he explained, "Ms. Lane, according to your usual work schedule, you have never worked this late. I've said nothing wrong. Could it be that I guessed right? Are you avoiding Mr. Barrett?"

Mia denied it immediately. "Are you kidding me? When did I avoid Timothy? Why would I do that?"

After saying that, Mia sat in a chair and picked up a document. But she couldn't focus on it.

When she

at the rerned around and looked

below her, she saw

.ne

Timothy standing at the center of

the banquet.

He was standing under the lights, and his silhouette looked tall and slender.

Mia turned to look at Peyton. "Please chase him out."

"Ms. Mia, I don't think I can do it," Peyton said.

He could chase anyone else out, but the man standing there was none other than Timothy Barrett.

"Should I do it myself since you can't do that? Why don't you be the boss instead?"

Peyton walked away with his head hung low.

Mia was sitting in the office alone as she watched Peyton walking toward Timothy.

After a while, Timothy turned to look in the direction of her office.

Mia quickly hid herself behind the curtain. Did Timothy notice anything?

Outside, Peyton stood in front of Timothy. "Mr. Barrett, Ms. Mia would like you to leave."

Timothy glanced at the office before asking gently, "Has she had her dinner?"

Peyton thought Timothy would be annoyed. He did not expect Timothy to ask whether Mia had had her dinner. Peyton thought briefly and replied, "I don't think she has eaten much."

"I'll send food over. Please make

ney arrangements when t

here. It's been a

for everyone."

Poet

After that, Timothy turned around and left the venue.

Peyton glanced at Timothy's back

and thought to himself, et

instruction felt the same as MS Lane's. What makes Timothy think that I would obey him?"

Peyton wondered why Timothy divorced Mia.

He was obviously still into her.

When Mia saw her secretary return to the office, her expression seemed slightly awkward. "Is he gone?"

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1104-"Yes, he's gone."

"Didn't he say anything?"

Mia felt a little strange that Timothy left just like that.

Not long after, Peyton walked in with an exquisite meal box. "Ms. Lane, supper is here. Grab a bite."

"How did you know that I'm hungry?"

Mia took the meal box from him. Upon opening it, she noticed that it contained her favorite dishes.

She paused for a second and looked at Peyton. "Did you order this?"

"Yes, I did. I bought supper for all the overtime staff."

Peyton was surprised that Timothy actually sent them food.

But Peyton said he bought it to avoid the risk of a bonus deduction.

When Mia saw her employees outside holding the same meal box, the doubt in her mind vanished.

She glanced out the window casually, and there was no sign of Timothy.

After finishing her food, she looked at Peyton. "Ask everyone to go home. They'll get double pay for today."

Mia grabbed her handbag and left her office.

Right after she left, a black car emerged from the dark.

Timothy looked in her direction and said, "Follow her."

Holding the same meal box, Caleb was eating while saying, "How could you leave just like that earlier? All your effort went down the drain. She's obviously avoiding you."

"I know that, but it was late. I want her to get off work and go home early. If I hadn't left, she wouldn't have left as well." Timothy's voice was low.

"Tsk, tsk... I didn't know you love her so deeply. It's a pity that Mia knows nothing about this."

"She doesn't need to know," Timothy said.

Leaning against the seat, Timothy fixed his eyes on the car ahead. His gaze was deep and inscrutable.

An hour later, Mia's car went into the Lane residence.

Timothy was relieved to see Mia arrive home safely with his own eyes.

"Tim, how are you going to discuss

the

tox collaboration with Mia? Her s definitely wont net

they find out about this,"

"I don't care whether she'll

said.

collaborate with me or not. As long as she wants to build her career in Bern City, I'll remove all the

love

obstacles in her way." S

Despite his calm tone, Timothy sounded very arrogant.

However, Caleb knew that Timothy was a man of his word.

When Mia reached home, Ginger was holding a delicate handmade gift.

"Look, Mommy, I made a present for Sage. Is it nice?"

"Yes, it is."

Mia stroked Ginger's head. All her exhaustion disappeared when she saw Ginger.

"Mommy, when is Sage coming home?"

"He'll be back the day after tomorrow. Let's pick him up together."

Ginger nodded her head adorably. "Sure."

"Wash up and sleep early then. Do you want me to read you a bedtime story?"

Ginger shook her head. "I'm a grown-up now, so I don't need bedtime stories anymore."

When Mia saw Ginger washing up herself, she was surprised that her daughter was so diligent now.

Gertrude walked over and said gently, "Ms. Ginger has become much more thoughtful and independent now."

Mia knew why her youngest

daughter had become more

thoughtful and independent. Her

brother was coming back, so she

wanted to take care of him at school.

After tucking her daughter in, Mia left Ginger's bedroom.

The moment she walked out, Ginger took out her smartwatch and made a call.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Timothy's low and gentle voice sounded on the other side of the phone.

"I...I have good news for you. Sage will be discharged and he will come home the day after tomorrow."

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1105-Ginger was not sure how to address him, so she stuttered every time she spoke to him.

She was so excited when she heard that her brother would be discharged from the hospital and come home, so she was eager to share her happiness with others. All her uncles and aunts already got the news.

Timothy was the only one she could share the news with.

When Timothy heard Ginger's crisp voice on the other side of the phone, surprise flashed across his eyes. "Your brother has recovered?"

"Yes, Mommy said Sage can go to school like me from now on."

Ginger's birthday wish was the same every year-she hoped her brother would be discharged from the hospital soon.

Her wish finally came true this year, so she was on cloud nine.

Timothy's heart melted when he heard his daughter's soft and adorable voice.

He stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and said, "I'm happy to know that."

Shaking her legs, Ginger paused for a while before she added, "I'm happy about that too! Sage has finally recovered.

"I hate being sick. I have to take medicines every time I'm sick. I don't want Sage to take medicines and get injections. That's why Mommy and I lied to you."

Ginger knew that lying was a bad habit. Since Timothy already knew about Sage's existence, she felt that it should be fine to tell him about it.

Timothy softened his voice. "I don't blame you."

"Aren't you angry?"

"No, I'm not. I'm sorry that I didn't fulfill my responsibilities. And that made things so hard for you all."

Ginger hesitated for a moment before saying, "No, it's not. I'm doing fine. It's just that Sage had always been sick.

"Every time he fell ill, Mommy, Uncle Dominic, Uncle Nathan and the others would get so upset." "Your brother will recover. I promise I'll find a way to cure his sickness," Timothy reassured her. Timothy had done research on Sage's disease, but he hadn't gotten to know his actual condition. The guilt in his heart had intensified each day, ever since he found out about Sage's illness. Mia was right. Nicholas saved their son's life from the clutches of death back then.

Perhaps Nicholas was the only one who could do this at that time.

Ginger said truthfully, "Uncle Nicholas will cure Sage. Look, Sage is going to be discharged already." Previously, Timothy would get annoyed and depressed whenever he heard his kids saying they liked Nicholas.

However, Nicholas had no doubt saved his son.

There was no way he could deny this.

"Your brother will grow up together with you, and he won't be sick anymore." Timothy's voice was gentle.

"I believe there are gods in this world. They heard my wishes and let Sage be discharged from the hospital."

Timothy's mood was lifted. When he

was still trying to find a way to treat

his son's illness, he received the good news that his son had

recovered and could be discharged

from the hospital.

Since Sage could be discharged and attend school, it showed that he had healed almost completely.

At least there was no risk of losing his life suddenly.

"What

die aur brother like? I want

to buy

i a present to celis

from the hospital,"

Timothy said with a smile. S

He had never fulfilled his

responsibilities as a father all these years. Now that he knew his kids existed, he wanted to learn to be a good and responsible father.

Back then, he never thought he would have kids one day and worry about how to coax a child.

After all, he used to think that children were the most uncontrollable and unreasonable creatures in this world.

The more confident he used to be, the more embarrassed he felt now.

"Sage likes aircraft and asteroids. And he loves aliens too!"

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1106-In Ginger's eyes, Sage was very intelligent. Even adults could not understand the things he liked.

Timothy roughly knew Sage's area of interest from Ginger's description. He thought his son was interested in nothing other than hacking techniques. The father-and-daughter duo chatted for a while.

Timothy glanced at the clock and said gently, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early. Children can't stay up late, or you won't grow taller."

Ginger ended the call on her smartwatch and fell asleep in a good mood.

Meanwhile, Timothy's expression became worried as he looked at the call history.

Caleb was humming a song while walking out of the bathroom. "Didn't you talk to your daughter over the phone just now? Why are you unhappy now? Did she say anything to you? Oh! Does Mia have a new boyfriend or something?"

"No, Ginger told me that Sage will be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow," Timothy said.

"Oh, that cool little boy. But according to our previous investigation, Sage is severely ill and might lose his life anytime. That's why he has lived in the research institute all these years."

Sage had been living in the hospital since birth. He barely got the chance to leave that place.

When Caleb thought about this, he forgave Sage's sarcasm and aloofness.

Who had the heart to find fault with such a poor child?

"I was surprised when I heard the news just now. But it must be true since Ginger said that. It proves that Nicholas is much more capable than I thought. I have to admit, he saved my son's life." Timothy's expression was solemn and inscrutable. He could not describe his feelings now.

Caleb sat on the couch and gave it some thought. "But Nicholas is your love rival."

Caleb knew from the start that Nicholas was the man Mia was betrothed to at birth.

Nicholas had gone all out and cured Sage. He was close to Mia and was her children's adoptive father.

His existence was no doubt a great obstacle in Mia's and Timothy's relationship in every aspect.

"I know that, but I believe she will choose me in the end."

Caleb remarked, "Where does your confidence come from? Why do you think Mia will surely choose you? Afterall, in terms of appearance and character, Nicholas is not inferior to you.

"He's not a businessman, so he may not earn as much as you. But he's a leading figure in the medical industry. You're no match in this area. So I'd say your ratings are

about the same.

"But Nicholas' rating might be higher than yours. He saved Sage's life, so the Lanes' impression of him is better than yours."

Timothy's face fell after hearing the words. He glared at Caleb and said, "Shut your mouth if you can't say anything nice. Do you feel happy to belittle me? Caleb covered his mouth and made a gesture of zipping up his lips.

"I remember your uncle bought a limited edition telescope before. Is that right?" Timothy said.

"Yes, he bought it for his kid. But his kid lost interest in it after a while. He's into excavators now."

Timothy then asked, "Can you ask your uncle to sell it to me? I want it the day after tomorrow. The price and terms and conditions are negotiable."

"But my uncle is notorious for being thrifty and exploiting others. Are you sure you want to make a deal with him? He'll certainly seize the chance to take advantage of you," Caleb warned.

Caleb reckoned that Timothy wanted to buy the telescope as a present for his son.

Why was he willing to spend so much for it?

Who was the one who said that one should not dote on children without boundaries? Where were Timothy's boundaries now?

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1107-The next day, Mia initially wanted to sleep in, but a call from Peyton woke her up.

Mia said languidly, "You'd better have something urgent to tell me."

"Ms. Mia, Luna's identity as an illegitimate daughter has been exposed."

What?

Mia was completely awake after hearing the news.

How was Luna's identity as an illegitimate daughter exposed? Who did this?

She furrowed her brows while saying, "Didn't I ask you to prevent the media from simply reporting what happened yesterday? How could this still happen?"

"I just got to know this news as well, and I've sent someone to investigate this matter. We're still trying to find out the identity of the mastermind behind it. I've sent the headline to your WhatsApp. Please take a look at it."

After ending the call, Mia scrolled on her phone and saw the headline which read, "The Mayor's Illegitimate Daughter Exposed."

The headline alone was eye-catching enough.

After all, Raymond had always had a good reputation. He was a virtuous and upright man in the public eye.

He was deeply admired by the married women in Nord City and was the embodiment of a successful gentleman.

In the entertainment industry, such a character was sought after by women aged 30 and above.

And because of that, Raymond's approval ratings had been very high.

Raymond's re-election was around the corner. The news of him having an illegitimate daughter would have a huge impact.

Mia was puzzled. Did Jasmine do this? It couldn't be. After yesterday's incident, Jasmine should know what was the most effective way to deal with Luna. Exposing Luna's identity would do Jasmine no good, and it would also affect the Shelbert family's business.

Mia read through the news article.

The photo's background was yesterday's business banquet, and it showed that Raymond brought a young woman to the banquet.

According to an insider, the young woman was Raymond's illegitimate

the

daughter. But she now lived with.??

Shelbert family under the guise of a close friend's daughter. S

Those who were sharp-witted knew that her identity was not simple. Otherwise, the Shelbert family would not have taken her in.

The news had a significant impact. Many said that Raymond's reputation as a good man had been tarnished.

The negative news spread like wildfire and had yet to be suppressed. This showed that Raymond's rival was still working behind the scenes. After Mia finished reading the news, she called Jasmine right away. The call was picked up immediately. "Mia."

"Do you have anything to do with the news?"

Jasmine replied, "You've seen the news, right? ve sent someone to investigate the matter. It has nothing to do with me. I didn't report it. How could be that stupid, harming my enemy at my own expense? Plus, I don't need to deal with Luna this way. Doesn't this give my father's rival an advantage?" Content

Jasmine clearly knew that the Shelberts' business grew greatly because of her father's help and protection.

The Shelberts' business would be hindered if Raymond lost his position as the mayor.

No matter how angry she was about her father wanting her to adopt Luna's son, she never thought of ruining her father's position as the mayor. After all, she needed to rely on his position to bring benefits to their family.

"Okay, I believe you have nothing to do with this. I've also sent someone to look into the matter. Now, be careful in front of your father," Mia advised.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1108-Mia was worried that Luna had something to do with this incident.

"I got it, Mia. Keep in touch."

Mia read the headline for a while, then she turned off her phone indifferently.

After lying on the bed for a moment, she got up slowly.

When Mia came to the living room, Eva was holding a cup of coffee as she said, "You're awake. Come and have breakfast."

"Sure, Eva."

"Sage will be home tomorrow. Let's go to the mall to see what we should buy. I feel that something is missing, but I can't put my finger on it," Eva said.

Mia glanced at the presents that filled the living room and thought of the bedroom prepared and decorated for Sage.

If she hadn't stopped Eva, other than the bed, the bedroom wouldn't have any space left for Sage to move around.

There were way too many presents.

Yet, Eva still thought that something was missing and wanted to go shopping. Mia sighed helplessly and said, "Eva, if you keep buying things, our house won't be able to fit anything else."

"You don't understand. We don't know what Sage likes, so we can only buy everything and let him choose. He can keep whatever he likes and throw away the things that he doesn't like," Eva said. Hearing her generous theory, Mia didn't know how to react.

Dominic and Eva did not have any children after all these years. Eva liked children very much, so she treated Mia's two kids very well.

Mia couldn't argue with Eva. After eating, Eva dragged her to the mall to shop for Sage.

When they were shopping, Mia saw a familiar figure. Wasn't that boy Asher?

Now, Asher was dressed in branded clothes, and a nanny was beside him.

But Asher seemed even more arrogant than when he was at the Barrett residence. He hit the nanny when he couldn't get the present he wanted.

The nanny dared not retaliate against him. All she could do was coax him patiently.

Holding a present in his hand, Asher ran around the store like a bull in a china shop. He ended up falling on the floor.

The nanny rushed over and said, "Mr. Asher, I told you not to run around. How am I going to explain to your family if you fall?"

Asher

pain. While he was still

sitting on the ground, he

the

nanny and said, "I don't you're going to explain to

how

"You're the one who will get scolded, not me. It's your fault that I fell, so you deserve to be scolded!"

Mia could no longer stand it when she saw this scene. She walked over to him and said, "You should not hit your nanny. Did Luna teach you to do so?"

She had met Asher a few times before. Sharon had doted on him and turned him into a spoiled brat, but he had not been as arrogant as he was now. He had becom@such a rebellious child.

Apparently, Asher recognised Mia. He glared at her resentfully and yelled, "This is none of your business, you bad woman!"

That was the first time Mia saw such deep hatred in a child's gaze.

Asher seemed to have changed into another person within only one or two months.

In the next second, Luna's anxious voice sounded beside them. "Mia, what are you trying to do to my son? Stay away from him!"

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1109-Mia saw Luna dash toward them. Luna then shielded Asher.

Luna lowered her head and saw that her son was injured. "Are you alright, Asher? How did you get injured? Did someone push you?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern. After hearing her words, Mia could tell this was how Luna usually taught her son.

The next second, she noticed Asher glancing at her. He then pointed at her and said, "She's the one who pushed me."

Mia was not surprised by this outcome.

Asher was spoiled when he was with Luna.

After all, Asher was her only hope now. He is the only way she could stay by Raymond's side. That's why she was so protective of Asher.

After Luna heard Asher's words, she was furious and glared at Mia. "I knew it, Mia! What are you trying to do to my son?

"Let me tell you this. If you ever touch him, I'll not let you off even when I die."

Mia looked at Luna calmly. "Are you sure that your son did not lie?"

Luna retorted, "Why would my son lie? He said you pushed him, and that must be true!"

Mia's gaze turned cold. "You have to show me proof before saying such things. If you falsely accuse me, I can sue you for defamation.

"Plus, the nanny beside your son clearly saw what happened. She knows whether I've pushed your son or not."

Then, Luna turned to look at the nanny and asked in an impatient tone, "Tell me! Did she push my son over?"

The nanny's gaze faltered. Just as she was about to speak, Asher grabbed a toy and hit her. "Keep your mouth shut! I'll hit you if you dare to spout nonsense.

"I'll make you lose your job, and you'll starve to death without money."

Mia never expected Asher to become so malicious in such a short time and speak such evil words.

How could a four-year-old child say such words?

The nanny said immediately, "I didn't see how Mr. Asher fell just now."

"Did you hear that? The nanny said she didn't see it, so what my son said is the only proof!" Luna exclaimed right away.

Luna felt smug. It would be great if she could catch Mia doing something wrong.

After yesterday's banquet, Raymond gave her the cold shoulder.

It would benefit her in future if she could have Mia by the short hairs.

Mia pointed at the surveillance camera on the ceiling. "Have you forgotten that there are surveillance cameras around? Your son's die can't be used as proof."

Asher shuddered, looking a little guilty.

Luna's expression became a little complicated. "My son doesn't lie."

.ne

Mia said confidently, "Children may not lie, but they often speak

Quo

nonsense. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage. Content belongs: FindNovel.net

"Ordinary people like us don't have the authority to do so, but we can call the police and let them get the footage. How about that?"

Luna was slightly guilty. She looked at Asher and said, "Asher, tell me how you fell down. Did she push you?"

Asher went hysterical and shoved Luna. "I said she was the one who pushed me! Why don't you trust me?"

Just as Mia was about to say something, Eva walked over. "Mia, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing. I ran into a mad dog that bites."

Luna was

Soritated when she heard

that.

My

you saying I'm a mad dog?

said you pushed him, and as

a mother, I'll no doubt stand by my

son.

"You're a mother too, so you should be able to understand my perspective."

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 1110-"Yes, I'm a mother too, and that's exactly why I can't understand your mindset. Can't you see what Asher is like now? Are you blind or something? He's only a pawn in your eyes, isn't he?" Mia felt that even though Asher was pampered back then, he was still a normal child.

But now, he was obviously not in the right state. Mia felt that his change of behavior was definitely because of Luna.

When Luna heard her words, she flew off the handle and shouted, "What has that got to do with you? It's none of your business how I educate my son. Who gives you the right to judge me?" Mia said coldly, "It's me your son encountered today, so I'll let it go.

"What if he runs into a persistent person who insists on holding him accountable? Do you think you'll be able to get away with it?"

After all, all wayward children were spoiled by their parents. They could face serious consequences when they encountered a person with a strong character.

"That's enough, Mia. Why do you speak in such a tone? My son was frightened during the fall. That's why he spouted nonsense. You're not going to find fault with a child, are you?"

Meanwhile, Eva felt confused while listening to their conversation. She looked at Mia and asked, "What's going on?"

"Don't worry, Eva. It's just a small matter."

After that, Mia looked at Luna again. "I bet you have something to do with today's headline. What do you think you can change, using such a tactic?"

Guilt flashed across Luna's eyes. Then, she braved it out and retorted, "Who said I have something to do with the news? Don't you accuse me! Do you have any proof?"

Mia did not want to waste her time talking to Luna. Suddenly, she said in a hushed voice, "Did you know that Grandma Laura's condition has improved a lot? I think she'll regain consciousness very soon."

"What?"

"It's just a matter of time before she regains consciousness. Why do you seem unhappy about it?" Mia said.

"What do the Barretts have to do with me?" Luna's expression shifted.

She grabbed Asher's hand and hurried out of the store.

She walked as fast as she could because she was afraid that Mia might come after her.

What Mia said earlier occupied her mind. Could it be true that Laura was going to regain consciousness soon?

When she recalled what she had done, her face went pale.

If Laura regained consciousness, she could no longer hide what she had done back then.

She worked so hard to get to where she was now. Was everything going to be ruined?
