Ch. 201..210

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 201-When Wilhelmina lunged at her, Mia stood frozen, unable to comprehend the sudden turn of events.

Mia protected her belly instinctively, guarding her precious secret.

Reacting swiftly, Felix managed to stop Wilhelmina by pushing her aside. He then yelled at her, “Are you out of your mind?” Wilhelmina cackled like a villain, her eyes on Mia’s belly. “I know your secret, Mia Bowen. I know what you’re hiding.” Wilhelmina already had her suspicions about Mia’s pregnancy before this confrontation.

The more Wilhelmina thought about it, the more upset she was.

While Wilhelmina was left with nothing, Mia was a top designer, and under Felix’s wings at that!

Being the green–eyed monster, Wilhelmina targeted Mia right at her belly to expose her secret.

Unfortunately for Wilhelmina, Felix got in the way.

Mia’s face paled, her widened eyes staring at Wilhelmina.

Something bad almost happened back there!

Had it not been for Felix, Mia couldn’t imagine what would’ve happened.

Mia stepped forward and slapped Wilhelmina with a chilly glare. “I’m sure you’re out of your mind, Wilhelmina Jones. Cross me one more time, and you won’t get away with it.” If something happened to her child, Mia would never show mercy.

Wilhelmina chuckled, her eyes dark in stark contrast. “I know your secret, Mia Bowen. You’re pregnant, aren’t you?” Mia’s expression stiffened briefly before cracking into a sneer. “A piece of advice, Wilhelmina Jones, why don’t you take an MRI scan for a brain check?” “You’re feeling guilty, Mia Bowen. If you’re not pregnant, why were you protecting your belly?” Mia looked down her nose at the erratic woman. “Funny, I thought I should protect the area you were attacking. Was I supposed to hug my head?” There was no way Mia would admit the pregnancy.

Until the divorce proceedings were finalized, no one should know about her baby’s existence. No one.

Yet, she hadn’t expected Wilhelmina to sniff out the truth.

Wilhelmina burst into laughter. Her gaze shifted toward Felix. “Did you see that? This woman has been acting this whole time. Mia is actually a rich person’s mistress, and she’s now pregnant. She’s been lying to you and trying to cheat on you.” Mia snorted coldly, “What’s the point of saying that, Wilhelmina? There’s nothing going on between Felix and I.” Felix’s expression turned cold as he glared at Wilhelmina. “Leave or I’ll call the security guards.” Wilhelmina rose from the floor, shooting an angry look at Mia. “Why do you win in everything? Why!” she raised her voice at Mia.

That plan was so perfect, and Mia could’ve learned her lesson the hard way.

Emotions barely showed on Mia’s face. “You’re the mistress, not me.” It was the wrong decision Wilhelmina had made to begin with.

She wanted to cause a bigger ruckus but was dragged out of the studio by the security guards.

Strings of curses could be heard from outside. Wilhelmina pulled her phone out to call Shelly but to no avail.

In the end, she resorted to message Shelly on Twitter. ‘Mia Bowen’s pregnant.‘ Soon after, Shelly contacted Wilhelmina. “Wilhelmina, is it true that Mia Bowen’s pregnant?” “Yes. I swear.” “Evidence please.” Shelly wouldn’t take it at face value that easily, especially since she deemed Wilhelmina foolish.

Wilhelmina was the reason Shelly’s cards were frozen and she had to tighten up her belt.

Shelly had learned her lesson.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 202-“When I charged at Mia, she instinctively shielded her belly. Her reaction was vehement. I’ve been holding on to these suspicions for a long time, but I couldn’t prove it until today.” “Why should I believe you? You told me that spreading rumors could bring her down, and yet look at what happened! My family told me off because of that!” Resentment clouded Wilhelmina’s eyes as she thought, “Right, Shelly was able to get away with it because she’s Ms. Barrett while I was held accountable for everything. No one bothered to care about my side of the story.” Her voice dipped into an icy tone. “Mia was able to get away with it because there’s a man backing her up. I think he’s the baby’s father.” Shelly gave it a serious thought. “You have a point.” Liam, the famous actor, was the man backing Mia up. If he hadn’t gotten in Shelly’s way, she would’ve been able to teach Mia a lesson.

Shelly admired her newly manicured nails. “But this is just your side of the story. Unless, you can prove that Mia’s really pregnant.” “I’ll figure something out. But, Ms. Barrett, you know my situation right now. I lost my job and reputation. No one will take me in. I’m in need of cash.” Shelly rolled her eyes. “I’ll transfer you a thousand dollars. As long as you can get me something to prove Mia’s pregnancy, you’ll gain what you deserve.” Wilhelmina received a notification of a transaction, her brows frowning in annoyance.

This amount of money didn’t even mean anything to her in the past. Shelly was trying to brush Wilhelmina off with that little money.

However, Wilhelmina was in dire need of money.

She cast a backward glance at the studio, and vowed to never forgive Mia and Shelly.

Meanwhile, Mia slumped in her seat, still in disbelief over what had just transpired.

Her heartbeat was racing.

Felix approached her, pouring her a glass of warm water. “Are you okay?” “I’m okay. Thanks for earlier, Felix.” A few sips of warm water recentered her a bit, but they did nothing to placate her heartbeat.

Instead, dizziness clouded her mind and she felt cold.

She held the desk. “Felix.” “Mia, what’s wrong?” +15 BONOS Before she could stand up, she flopped onto the floor.

Felix carried her in his arms. “Hold on, I’ll take you to the hospital.” Mia gritted her teeth in an attempt to stay awake. “Peace Hospital.” Going to the hospital Connor worked at could give her a peace of mind.

Felix rushed to the hospital. Her face was pale and he kept comforting her along the way.

Mia mustered every ounce of strength left in her to call Connor. The line got through almost immediately. “Mia, what’s up?” “I have a stomach ache. I’m reaching the hospital soon.” “What? Hold on, I’m coming!” A wave of relief washed over her when she heard that. Things should be fine now.

She didn’t want anyone to find out that she was pregnant.

Felix parked the car before carrying her to the emergency room.

At the same time, Maya and Timothy got out of a car.

Timothy raised his head only to see a man carrying Mia to the emergency room.

Maya was still in a good mood. “My brother has made a surgical plan. Feel free to ask any questions if you-” Before she could finish, she followed his gaze and caught Mia in sight.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 203-A heavy silence descended in an instant.

Maya never expected to bump into Mia at the hospital.

Maya quickly said, “Timothy, that woman in that man’s arms looks so much like Mia. Am I seeing things?” Timothy pursed his lips. Maya could be right. It was Mia.

Annoyed, he strode into the hospital grumpily.

Maya was at his heels. “Timothy, why don’t we go ask them? It could be Mia. We can check on her too. Although you’ve divorced, at least for old time’s sake-” “Shut up!” He halted in his tracks. He was so upset that a man was carrying Mia to the emergency room. Where’s your brother?” “He’s on the third floor. I can take you to him.” Hints of his bad mood seemed to amuse Maya.

Maya knew that framing it that way would put him in a bad mood. He wouldn’t be bothered to care about Mia then, Maya believed.

Judging from how the man carried Mia to the emergency room, Maya sensed that something was going on between them.

As a man himself, how could Timothy possibly stomach it?

The duo entered the elevator, the door closing just as Connor skipped down the stairs.

Connor headed straight to the emergency room.

A man standing beside Mia explained the situation to the nurse and doctor anxiously, “She suddenly fainted. It could be low sugar or too much shock.” Connor narrowed his eyes, taking big strides toward them. “I know what’s going on with the patient. The outsiders may step out of here.” Mia’s heart finally eased when she heard his voice. There wouldn’t be any problem as long as he was there.

Still, Felix couldn’t shake off his concerns. He eyed Mia. “Mia, I’ll be waiting for you outside. Don’t be afraid.” That earned a deep look from Connor, who wondered, “Is this her admirer? Not bad–looking and he cares for her, but he has not passed the test yet. Not just anyone can be my brother–in–law.” Connor examined Mia in the emergency room. Since he was aware of her pregnancy, he had an inkling of what happened.

Mia finally regained consciousness half an hour later.

Her eyes fluttered open. Knowing that Connor was guarding her, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Connor.” “Mia, you’re up. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” “Just kinda dizzy. Everything went black and I felt cold before I fainted. Am I sick? Is the baby alright?” She placed her hand over her belly.

The baby’s well–being worried her the most.

Connor was momentarily silent. “Don’t worry about the baby. That little one is very healthy. As for you, so many things are plaguing your mind and stressing you out, and you’re malnourished. That’s why you fainted.

Tell me, what’s worrying you so much?” He sat along her bedside. There was something he wanted to say but he hesitated. “Mia, I know that you might not like hearing this, but your belly is getting bigger. You can’t possibly hide it from everyone.” As her brother, he figured that he should at least know who the father of the baby was.

His position as her brother might be able to get him an answer from Mia.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 204-Mia hesitated for a moment. “Connor, I don’t want anyone to know that I’m pregnant, at least not until I’m officially divorced from Timothy.” Connor couldn’t understand her reason for that decision. “Why? Will the baby’s father threaten you?” She shook her head and pleaded, “Just keep it a secret for me, please.” She gave him her puppy eyes.

Connor gave in within three minutes in the face of those puppy eyes.

He thought that as his big brother, he should grant his sister’s wish.

Years of remorse shackled him. It was rare for Mia to ask a favor of him, so what else could he do besides letting her have it her way?

What about his pride as her guardian? Now, it seemed insignificant compared to Mia’s interests.

He rubbed her head. “Alright, I’ll keep it a secret for you. But you have to promise me you’ll take good care of yourself. You have to tell me if you’re feeling sick.” “I promise! I contacted you right away this time,” Mia exclaimed.

The only person she could trust was Connor, hence the strong request to come to Peace Hospital.

He raised an eyebrow. “Speaking of which, who’s the guy who took you here? Your admirer? He’s not bad- looking.” She coughed. “You’re misunderstanding, Connor. He’s my boss and my superior.” “Oh, your boss. He seems to be a man with ambitions. Guess I can say that he has the potential, nothing more, “judged Connor, who thought Felix didn’t deserve her.

Mia was an outstanding woman. Not any ordinary man could be her perfect match.

If Felix was the boss of a small studio, Connor doubted his income was high. He began questioning the studio’s performance.

Helplessness weighed on Mia. “Stop the nonsense, Connor.” His phone kept ringing. He gave it a glimpse but didn’t take it out.

At that moment, Felix entered the room. “Mia, you’re awake. How are you feeling?” “I’m alright, Felix. Thanks for bringing me here.” “It’s no big deal. You really got me there. Glad to see that you’re fine.” A hostile gaze from the doctor bothered Felix.

Mia quickly tugged on Connor’s sleeve. “Connor.” Only then did he reluctantly divert his gaze. “Relax, relax. It’s not like I’ll devour him.” The revelation of their family relationship caught Felix off guard. “Is he your brother, Mia?” He had heard that she was an orphan who later found her family.

The fact that her brother was a doctor pleasantly surprised Felix.

She nodded. “Yes, he’s my third elder brother, Connor Lane.” Felix approached Connor eagerly. “Nice to meet you. I’m Felix.” Indifferently, Connor extended his hand. “Don’t try to butter me up. You’re Mia’s boss, right? She fainted due to overexertion. Please give her lighter duties without pay cuts.” “Connor!” She called him out. After all, it was unbecoming of him to say that.

Right then, a nurse entered the room. “Dr. Lane, your sister is waiting for you in the office.“

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 205-Connor tensed as soon as the nurse said that.

He was on the verge of being exposed!

Dubious, Mia looked at him. “Sister?” She wondered if he had another sister.

He quickly explained, “Mia, you’re my only sister. I swear!” Never once had he acknowledged Maya as his sister.

Connor’s nervous reaction tickled Mia’s funny bones. “I didn’t even say anything, Connor. Why so tense?” It was as though a girlfriend caught her boyfriend cheating on her.

He let out a wry cough. “Anyway, I just wanted to straighten things out.” He turned to face the nurse. “I got it. I’ll leave in a while.” The nurse was interrupted midway because he knew who the guest was.

Today, Connor had an appointment with Timothy to discuss the surgical plan.

Who would’ve expected Mia to be sent to the emergency room? Her well–being was of utmost importance at the moment.

“You should go ahead, Connor. I can manage here.” Felix reassured him, “Don’t worry. I’ll look after her.” Connor nodded. “Rest up, Mia. We’ll head home together later.” Then, he took the elevator back to his office.

He pushed the door open to see Maya and Timothy. His expression spoke of tranquility.

Joyful, Maya rose from her seat. “Connor, I’ve called you many times but you didn’t answer. Are you busy today?” “Yes. There was an emergency.” Maya’s eyes lit up. “Was the patient a woman?” If her vision served her correctly, Mia was carried to the emergency room.

Timothy suddenly cast his gaze in Connor’s direction, eager to know the answer.

If it was really Mia, Timothy wondered how she was doing right now.

Connor’s skeptical gaze alternated between the duo before fixating upon Timothy.

Memories of Timothy taking Mia to the hospital conjured up in Connor’s head, prompting a negative answer He would never admit that, in hope that Mia sever ties with Timothy for good.

Maya sighed inwardly. It was a missed opportunity for her. If the patient turned out to be Mia, Maya could seize the chance to degrade Mia, tarnishing her reputation further.

Timothy averted his gaze and suggested, “Let’s focus on the matter at hand.” He personally came over to discuss the surgical plan for Laura’s case.

Connor settled into his seat. “Actually, you didn’t need to come for the surgical plan. I planned to discuss it with the other doctors. There’s not much we can do even if we talk about it right now. You’re not a doctor, Mr. Barrett. It’s not within your purview.” Maya’s face fell at that. “Connor, Timothy came because he is genuinely concerned about his grandmother.” Timothy shot a cold look at Maya, and she broke into a cold sweat.

Not even her gutsy side dared to meet his eye.

In truth, she lied to Timothy about the finalized surgical plan so that she could bring him to the hospital.

She didn’t expect the truth to be revealed by Connor so straightforwardly.

Maya’s guilty expression caught on Connor’s radar, giving him an inkling of the situation.

He asked on purpose, “Maya, did you clearly tell Mr. Barrett about it?” “Connor, I think it’s best for Timothy to talk to you so that both parties know more about each others‘ request. That’ll be best for Mrs. Barrett Senior’s surgery.” She racked her brain to come up with an explanation.

Her back was drenched in sweat.

If Connor revealed the truth about the surgery, would Timothy call off the engagement?

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 206-Maya was anxiety–ridden as she faced Timothy. “Timothy, I’m thinking of the bigger picture. It’s best for everyone to know more about the surgical plan.” “What’s the point of him knowing more about the surgery? He’s not a doctor,” Connor was literally driving her to the edge with his calculated words.

The smile on her face was barely holding up.

Suppressing his anger, Timothy stood up and glared at Maya. “Let’s talk about it after Dr. Lane meets with the other doctors.” With that, he left the office.

She grabbed at his arm, but he flung her hands away. There was no warmth in his eyes.

In the end, Maya stayed riveted at her spot awkwardly. She looked back at Connor. “Connor, did you have to say that?” “I was simply telling the truth, wasn’t I? I thought both of you were all lovey–dovey because you were so jittery about marrying him. But based on what I’ve seen, I don’t think he has feelings for you.” “Connor, Timothy and I are getting engaged. He has feelings for me. He was pulling a long face because of my little mistake.” His eyes narrowed. “Oh really? Did he not agree to the marriage because you promised to make the surgery happen?” Pale–faced, she denied, “How could that be? We’ve known each other for three years now. If it wasn’t for that accident, I would’ve become his wife a long time ago. Connor, I know you’ve never liked me since we were young, but I hope you won’t stop me from chasing after my happiness.” “Since you’re so certain that this is your so–called happiness, have it your way,” Connor growled. “Maya, although I’ve never been fond of you, I opposed the marriage simply because I don’t think he’s the right fit for you. It was for your own good.” Despite her being the adoptive child, he couldn’t turn a blind eye to it.

She mocked, “Was it for my own good? Connor, if that is truly your intention, stop blabbering so much and do your best for Mrs. Barrett Senior’s surgery.” She stormed out of the office, with one thing etched in her mind–she wasn’t a Lane and she could forge her own bright future.

Only power and status could bring happiness in this world.

Felix queued in line to foot the hospital bills, nearly bumping into a man in black suit.

Felix’s head shot upward and he met a pair of shrewd eyes that sent chills down his spine.

In terms of height and aura, Timothy surpassed Felix.

Timothy recognized him as the man who took Mia to the hospital.

Timothy’s lips tightened and his gaze dropped to the bills in Felix’s hand.

“Paying the bills?” Timothy asked coldly.

“Y–Yeah,” Felix replied instinctively, completely taken aback by Timothy’s imposing presence.

A crease formed between Timothy’s brows. His expression appeared unnatural as he questioned further, “Is the patient alright?” Questions swirled in Felix’s head as he wondered, “Does this man know Mia?” Timothy prompted impatiently, “I’m asking you a question.” Felix answered, “The patient is fine. Sir, are you here to see the doctor?” No matter how Felix looked at it, Timothy appeared weird to him. The way he spoke was commanding, and that face seemed familiar to Felix.

He gave it a serious thought before asking vehemently, “Are you Mr. Barrett? The president of Barrett Group?”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 207-Timothy’s eyes narrowed slightly as he didn’t expect the man to recognize him.

He gave a casual response. “Yes.” Felix was instantly overwhelmed with excitement. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Barrett. I’m the owner of Elite Studio. We met once at the Fleur International Design Competition. It was a pleasure to meet you.” Timothy raised an eyebrow. Thanks to his rich experience with individuals like Felix, he could quickly decipher Felix’s intentions.

He glanced at the bill in Felix’s hand. “What is your relationship with the patient?” Felix hurriedly answered, “She’s my employee. She suddenly fainted, so I brought her to the hospital.” “Do you overwork your employees?” Timothy disapproved.

“No, no! Hiring Mia was a stroke of luck. She’s an ace. Mr. Barrett, you were there at the Fleur International Design Competition. She was the first–place winner.” The glint in Timothy’s gaze darkened. He continued his question, which was hanging in the air. “Oh, now I remember. What’s going on between the two of you?” Felix paused momentarily, not expecting Timothy to be nosy.

Felix coughed before answering, “Let’s just say she could be my girlfriend in the future. We’re getting along.

well.” The atmosphere turned cold as soon as he said that. Timothy’s expression turned grim, making Felix regret his words.

Timothy regained his composure very quickly, but his eyes remained dark.

He didn’t expect Mia to get close to another man so soon.

At that moment, Felix pulled out a business card from his pocket. “Here’s my business card, Mr. Barrett. Hope we can collaborate in the future.” Timothy looked at the card before taking it. “There might be a chance for that.” “Really? That’s great! I won’t let you down, Mr. Barrett.” Felix was overflowing with ecstasy.

If he could collaborate with Barrett group, there could be a bright future ahead of Elite Studio real soon!

Watching the greed churning in Felix’s eyes, Timothy kept the business card and glanced at the emergency room.

He then turned and left the hospital.

Felix remained, watching the man leave as he thought, “Am I about to strike gold?” Soon, Maya exited the elevator, her head turning left and right, searching for Timothy.

There was a need to explain the whole situation.

Felix approached her gentlemanly. “Are you looking for Mr. Barrett?” She turned to look at him, recalling the fact that he was the man who carried Mia to the hospital, A meaningful smile graced her face. “Who are you?” she asked with intent.

“Nice to meet you. Ms. Lane. I’m Felix Quilter, the boss of Elite Studio, I had a brief chat with Mr. Barrett a while ago. He went in that direction.” “Thank you.” She took the offered business card and glimpsed at the bill in his hand. “What are you doing here in the hospital, Mr. Quilter? Is it for your girlfriend?” Felix chuckled. “Almost.” Maya’s smile beamed wider. “The woman you’re pursuing will surely say ‘yes‘, I mean, you’re such a capable man. Good luck!” “Thanks.” He watched her leave.

Ambitious dreams filled his mind.

Not only did Felix exchange business cards with Timothy, but he also spoke to Maya personally!

Was Felix going to hit it big soon?

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 209-Patricia and Eva checked in on Mia’s well–being when she got home. After learning that Mia had fainted due to malnourishment, Patricia whipped up some chicken soup for her.

Nourishing soups weren’t exactly Mia’s favorite, but she didn’t mind having them for the sake of her baby.

She took a break on the couch and glanced at Eva. “Where’s Dominic?” “He’s at work. Vista Properties expanded a branch in Bern City. He went over to visit his old friend.” “I see. That’s great. I was able to buy this house thanks to his friend. Maybe I should treat his friend to a meal” Eva coughed. “It’s fine. Dominic has repaid the favor. We don’t have to do anything.” When there were no follow–up questions from Mia, Eva breathed a sigh of relief.

Where could Eva possibly find someone to put on a show for her?

Dominic returned home in time for dinner. His brows furrowed when he first saw Mia. ‘Mia, you should put more care in what you eat. Look at you. You’re all bones.” The corner of her lips twitched. He was spouting nonsense. She actually gained a few pounds.

He continued, “Mia, don’t worry about the demolition. I went to see an old friend who works in the construction industry. He said he could personally meet with you to get the contracts signed. Don’t let your adoptive parents bother you. There’s nothing they can do about it.” The meeting he had was with the boss of that construction company, who was willing to let him pull some strings for this.

It was news worth celebrating for Mia. “Fantastic! Your friend has been a huge help. Maybe I should buy him a meal.” Dominic was stunned in silence. How could he tell her that he was actually that so–called friend?

He quickly shook his head. “No need for that. I already treated him to a meal this afternoon.” In the end, there was nothing Mia could do about it.

That night, she lay in bed, gently caressing her belly.

Her baby was safe, thankfully.

Mia went to work as usual the next day.

A bouquet of roses rested on her desk without a note.

Mia asked out of curiosity, “Did someone make a mistake?” Her colleagues teased, “Nope. It is specially for you. We’re jealous.” Mia sneezed at the flowers, rubbing her nose. “Do you know who the sender is?” “We don’t. Give it a guess.” However, her colleagues‘ expressions offered a hint as to who the sender could be.

As Mia had expected, Felix showed up with a box of supplements. “Mia, I heard these are great for women. Your blood sugar is low. You should take them.” Mia forced a smile before declining politely. “No thank you, Felix.” The others began squealing, “Take them, Mia. Mr. Quilter looked into it, and we pitched in with recommendations.” He placed the box on the table. “Remember to take them. I’ve got to get back to work now.” Mia watched him leave and let out a sigh.

She wasn’t oblivious to his feelings for her, but getting into a relationship wasn’t in her plans right now.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 210-Mia handed in her assignments at college, then went shopping with Gina. It had been a while since they last hung out together.

Gina was all smiles. “Mia, I heard your house is going to be demolished. You’re going to be rich! I’m so happy for you!” “Thanks. I honestly didn’t expect the demolition. But I doubt the compensation will be generous.” They entered the mall when Mia received a phone call from Felix.

“Mia, where are you? I don’t see you in the office.” “I’m shopping with my best friend.” “I see. How about we have dinner together? Bring your friend along too.” She hesitated momentarily. “Felix, I have dinner plans with my family. My eldest brother and his wife just returned from Nord City.” Only then did Felix drop the dinner invite.

The call ended, and Gina chimed in. “Why didn’t you say yes? It’s Felix who asked you out for dinner. Don’t worry about me. I won’t be a third wheel*

“Gina, you know I was married. Felix will never accept a divorced woman. Besides, she was carrying her ex- husband’s baby.

No man could ever accept their partner to be like that.

“You’re playing by old rules, Mia. Felix is a great boss and he’s got the potential. Just think about it. Come, I’ll bring you somewhere nice for a manicure. A new nail salon just opened.” *Count me out. I’m sensitive to the smell.” A pregnant woman like her wasn’t suited for a manicure.

The duo sat down in the nail salon and a pungent smell of perfume wafted their noses. It was so strong that it was repulsive.

Pinching her nose, Mia looked across her shoulder to see a familiar person.

She knew that it wasn’t common for someone to wear so much perfume.

It was Shelly!

Shelly’s high heels clicked as she approached the duo. She sneered, “Mia, do you know how much it costs to get your nails done nere? If you can’t afford it, don’t even try to step foot into the place. It’s not a place for you.” Gina, never one to back down, barked back, “Only someone as shallow as you would think that a manicure is a luxury privilege. Guess it’s understandable, given that you use up half a bottle of perfume every single time.” Watch your mouth. Poor people like you only deserve to come with discount vouchers in their hands. The Alta faked a smile. Hahten up your belt, will you? Your cards are frozen. Best not to humiliate yourself while You’re struggling to pay bills.” Furious, Shelly raised her voice. That is all your faulll‘ The mention of the maller set Shelly on edge. She retorted, “Ms. Lane gave me a card, though. I can spend the money however I want. After all, her wedding gift is extravagant.” Shelly continued, ‘Mrs. Lane Senior spoils her rotten. I bet Ms. Lane has received a lot of assets, unlike someone who keeps trying to rub shoulders with the rich without knowing her place,” Gina chuckled. ‘You blabber with so much confidence that I thought that it was your own money. Turns out it Isn’t. Why are you so pleased about spending someone else’s money?” Shelly couldn’t find any words to rebut and turned to Mia. “The engagement ceremony is this weekend. Ms. Lane’s brothers will be there. Don’t be jealous,”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 208-As long as these rich people gave Felix a chance, he would be able to rake in big money!

Mia waited for a long time before Felix finally showed up. “Was it a long queue, Felix?” “Kind of.” He masked his excitement, not telling her about his encounter with Timothy.

Taking a seat beside her, he asked, “So, you have three brothers. One of them is a doctor, what about the other two?” “They live in Nord City. My eldest brother is a salesman at a property agency, and my other brother works at a law firm. He’s just a low–ranking officer.” Felix nodded. “No wonder that famous law firm in Nord City sued the rumormongers when Wilhelmina defamed you. I don’t think your brother is a small officer there. You can just tell me the truth, Mia.” “Nope. It’s probably because he gets along well with the people in the law firm. His colleagues are willing to help him out.” She still appeared humble to him. Not anyone could get into that law firm in Nord City.

At least, the employees over there possessed high education qualifications and had a promising future.

Mia seemed to come from a respectable family, at least according to Felix.

In addition to her identity as a top designer, once he started going out with her, their relationship would boost his career to another height.

The sheer thought of it gave him an adrenaline rush, as he envisioned his successful business and triumphant return home.

Not long after, Connor returned to the emergency room with a frown. “Mia, I have a surgery suddenly lined up for schedule, so I can’t go home with you.” Felix offered, “I can send her home.” Reluctantly, Connor nodded. “Okay. Be careful on your way home.” Mia had always known that he was a busy man. Besides, she already recovered enough to return home alone.

Her gaze shifted to Felix. “Felix, I can grab a cab home. I’ve already taken up too much of your time.” “It’s no big deal. I can take you home on my way back. Connor has entrusted you to my care. I should keep my promise.” She caved in to his persistence and accepted his offer.

The drive took an hour before they arrived at her neighborhood. Felix surveyed it. “Do you live here, Mia?” If his memory serves him correctly, she used to live in an old neighborhood which was up for demolition soon.

“Yes, I moved here not long ago,” she answered.

“And yet you said you aren’t rich. The houses here are expensive.” Felix started up his business right after graduation and still couldn’t afford a house in the city as of today. Not even the houses in this neighborhood.

“That’s not true. Remember the cash prize I received? My brothers lent me some money so I was able to buy it.

Felix figured Mia’s brothers had handsomely paid jobs. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to lend so much money to her.

This revelation spurred Felix on, prompting a more enthusiastic response from him, “Text me when you arrive home, Mia. It puts my mind at ease knowing you’re safe.” “Okay, and sorry for the trouble. I’ll buy you a meal someday.” He waved his hand, watching her walk into the neighborhood.

Then, he took his phone out to check the price of the house. Ideas began flooding his mind, pieces clicking into place as he devised a plan to win Mia over.

Since Mia was an orphan, she should be someone who yearned for love. This thought lingered in Felix’s mind.
