Ch. 511..520
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 511-Mia looked at Maya upon Liam’s words, puzzled.
Mava was the take princess?
The term exasperated Maya so much that she screamed, “So what if I do? I am part of the family and I have the right to voice out my opinion. How could you keep me in the dark? I’m not a fake princess!” Maya couldn’t accept reality. If only she had found Mia sooner, she would’ve been able to deal with Mia instead of becoming the passive party.
Dominic said coldly. “You’re not one of us. You’re aware of this from the day you left the orphanage. Your grew greediel, coveting things that aren’t rightfully yours.” “Things that aren’t rightfully mine? I am Ms. Lane too! What part do I lack compared to Mia? I’ve contributed so much to the family for so many years. But you want to drive me away as soon as Mia returns? Not a chancel” Maya was losing it, feeling that the whole world was treating her unfairly.
Dominic frowned. “What do you want?” She sneered and turned back, pointing at Timothy. “I want to marry into the Barrett family and become Mrs. Barrett.” Timothy’s brows furrowed. “I’d rather be single forever than marry you.” Sharon chimed in. “Maya, look, Timothy doesn’t like you. A forced relationship is bound to be miserable.” Maya glared at Sharon. “How ironic. Before this, haven’t you always been hoping for me to marry Timothy? Now that you discover that I’m an adopted child, you’re repulsive to the idea, huh? I guess rich people are materialistic too.” That pricked Sharon’s guilty conscience, but Maya did cross the line with her words.
Sharon snorted, “That’s unbecoming of you to say that, Ms Lane. I thought you were raised to be proper.
I never knew that you’d be this disrespectful.” “I know, right? Aunt Sharon, I think something’s off about Maya too. She’s an adoptive child, but she claims herself to be Ms. Lane in Bern City. She lied to all of us.” Shelly came to the scene as she found it odd that no one showed up.
Who would’ve known she’d overhear such a mind–blowing secret? Maya was adopted by the Lanes while Mia was the true Ms. Lane!
This was a melodrama playing in real life!
As both ladies from the Barrett family mocked her, Maya couldn’t help but barked back, “You don’t have the right to say that to me. Shelly Barrett! Who do you think you are? You’re broke and you used me for my credit card.” Shelly gulped. “You were trying to curry favor with me because you want to marry into our family. Now, we know that you’re just an adoptive child and a poor woman who’s going to be driven out to the streets.
We’re different.” That was Shelly’s revenge for Maya who acted all haughty, and for freezing Shelly’s credit card. Shelly couldn’t accept that coming from a mere adoptive child.
Sharon nodded. “Shelly, you’re right. We’ve always emphasized the compatibility of our family background. Since Maya is an adopted child, she’s not fit to be one of us. Mia is the better candidate.” Mia’s eyes darted at Sharon, and the corner of her lips twitched.
Never once had Sharon treated her so nicely. This was the first.
Before this. Sharon kept giving her the cold treatment and picking on her.
To have power was indeed an advantage.
Sharon expressed guilt. “I didn’t know all of this, Mia. Maya kept driving a wedge between us. That was why I had been treating you badly. But we know the truth now. We’re still a family.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 512-It was great news that Mia turned out to be the true Ms. Lane.
Shelly added, “Yeah, we’re a family, Mia,” For the first time in forever, Mia felt the difference in treatment she received solely because of the change in her family background.
In fact. Sharon and Shelly’s supercilious attitudes at the mall were still vivid in her head.
Mia hung her head low and smiled meaningfully. “Sorry, but we’re no longer a family. Timothy and I have divorced.” She wasn’t as shameless as they were.
Timothy’s gaze became piercing right after she said that.
Still she straightened her back, fearless. Her family had her back and she had nothing to be afraid of.
Sharon became anxious. “Tim, when did that happen? Haven’t you been putting the procedure off?” “A few days ago. Timothy pursed his lips.
Sharon exclaimed, “What a fool! Why did you bring it forward?” Sharon couldn’t regret it more. “Why didn’t you delay it?” Dominic spoke up in a steely tone, “Delaying it a few days wouldn’t have made any difference.” Connor chimed in, “I agree. Mia is our sister. She had gone missing for so many years. We will never let her suffer ever again. This marriage was bound to meet its demise anyways.” Sharon bit her lip out of guilt. “You’re misunderstanding the situation. Mia actually had a nice time with us for the past three years. At least her life was better. My mother is protective of her too. No one had the nerve to bully her.” Liam chuckled. “She had a nice time when she was a housewife and didn’t fight back whenever she was bullied?” That counter shut Sharon up immediately. She didn’t know that Mia was the true Ms. Lane this entire time while Maya was the fake princess who had been lying to her!
“Mia, we actually wanted to tell you the truth today, but it turned out to be this way in the end. You must’ve had it tough because of Maya, haven’t you?” Eva said sympathetically.
Mia glanced at Eva Her head was a mess right now.
She pursed her lus. “It’s all in the past. Let’s just put an end to it.” Sharon hurriedly said, “Yeah, it’s all in the past. Mia, I know that I didn’t treat you well, but don’t worry, I will make up for it in ten folds.” Contempt settled beneath Mia’s eyes. “Mis, Barrell, I want to put an end to the past, but that doesn’t mean that I want to continue staying with the Barrett family.” Claude clapped his hands as he saw eye to eye to that. “Mia is our sister. She’s someone with status, looks, and talent. Men will be lining up for her.” Eva, standing beside Mia, sald, “I couldn’t agree more. I’ve actually picked a few young men with potential in Nord City. All I need is a nod from Mia before getting all the procedures arranged.” Mia found it hilarious. She actually didn’t think much about getting Into a new relationship.
Timothy, who was snowed under by the weight of his mixed feelings, alternated his gaze between Mia and the Lane family.
Frustration was bubbling up in him.
He was genuinely happy that she found her real family, but at the same time, he felt that she was getting farther from his reach.
Something crossed his mind at that very second–Mia’s pregnancy.
Before this, he was suspicious about Mia’s relationship with Connor and suspected that the baby belonged to Connor.
However, they turned out to be siblings!
Did that mean the baby belonged to Timothy?
Timothy gulped at that possibility. Taking a step forward, he looked at Mia. “I have something to ask you.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 513-Mia raised her head to meet Timothy’s eyes and she realized something.
All this time, he had been misunderstanding her relationship with Connor and assumed the baby belonged to Connor.
In order to divorce Timothy, Mia didn’t deny the notion back then.
However, he found out that Connor was her brother now. He knew that those were lies!
Questions were filling his head–who was the baby’s father?
A jumble of thoughts filled her head. She didn’t want to reveal her pregnancy right now because Timothy was the father.
A few days ago, she made Laura believe that the pregnancy was fake so that she could divorce him.
Imagine how upset Laura would be after finding out that it was a lie.
Mia began racking her brain for an excuse to cover things up.
“Go to hell, Mia Bowen!” Maya appeared out of nowhere, charging toward Mia with a sharp knife.
Due to the proximity, Maya was already right in front of Mia by the time she screamed.
The knife in hand was flung so swiftly!
Mia protected her belly subconsciously as she couldn’t dodge it in time.
Was she going to die?
At that moment, someone shielded her.
Her mind went black.
She reached for his arm, as warm crimson stained her trembling hands. “Timothy!” Maya retreated with widened eyes, looking at Timothy. “I’m innocent! You came right at it yourself!” Dominic shouted, “What are you doing? Grab her before she goes berserk again!” “Stay away from me! I am Maya Lane! Don’t you dare lay a finger on me!” She went insane with the knife in hand and the bodyguards couldn’t get near her.
Mia wasn’t in the state of mind to bother Maya. She was more concerned about Timothy. “Are you alright? Where’s the wound?” A distressed Sharon ran over. “Tim, are you okay? Gosh, please say that you’re okay.” “I’m okay. Just a cut on the arm.” He grabbed his arm, blood gushing out of his wound before dripping onto the floor.
Sharon panicked, “Why are you bleeding so much. Tim? Oh my lord, it must hurt so much. Let’s get you to the hospital quick!” Mia glimpsed at his arm. “Mrs. Barrett is right. Get to the hospital first.” “Jeez, why bother her?” As soon as Sharon said that, she felt seven pairs of eyes on her.
Her expression went stiff. “I mean, Tim has protected Mia. She should be unscathed.” Then, the seven of them moved their gaze away from her.
Sharon heaved a sigh of relief. She didn’t say anything wrong, though. What a protective family.
At that time, Connor separated Mia and Timothy to check on him.
The long cut made him frown.
No matter how reluctant Connor was to feel indebted to Timothy, he couldn’t deny that Timothy had saved Mia.
Connor bandaged the wound with a napkin. “To the hospital this instant. Get the wound disinfected and stitch it.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 514-“It’s alright. The college hospital will do. I have to attend the ceremony, Timothy stressed.
Most importantly, Mia would be going onstage today. He didn’t want to miss it.
Something in him was telling him that it wouldn’t be easy for him to meet Mia in the future if he left the place right now.
The revelation that she was the true Ms. Lane actually surprised him.
She was getting farther and farther from his reach.
Mia noticed the heavy feelings from his gaze, but she brushed it off by convincing herself that she must be seeing things.
Why would Timothy feel that way for her? She could never imagine it.
She dropped her gaze to the floor. “I think it’s better to go to the hospital.” “Tim, she’s right. Look, she’s concerned about you. You should go to the hospital. What am I going to do if something happens to you?” Dominic looked at Timothy, “They’re right. You should go to the hospital, Mr. Barrett. Thank you for saving Mia.” Sensing something was off, Claude quickly said, “We’re Indeed grateful to you for saving Mia, but let’s call it even considering how you’ve treated Mia. We’ll let bygones be bygones.” Jason got the hint right away. “Yup. We actually wanted to take Mia with us and deal with the matter with your family. After all, you made her suffer for a whole three years! We can never let that slide easily.” The six men’s unfriendly gaze on Timothy worried Sharon so much that she stayed silent.
In fact, she was one of the bullies that picked on Mia. If the Lanes wanted to settle the score, things would be complicated.
The atmosphere turned grim.
Maya, who was pressed onto the floor, laughed. “What about me? I’ve sacrificed so much for the Lane family and yet this is what I receive in return?” She shot a menacing look at Mia. “On the other hand, you didn’t do anything at all. What rights do you have to hog all their love? Why?” Mia found that statement odd.
# 15 BONUS Dominic responded, “Mia, I regret bringing Maya back from the orphanage so much. Grandma’s condition deteriorated when we lost you. Her mental health was unstable. That was why I brought Maya back, to comfort Grandma. I didn’t know it’ll bring you harm.” “Mia, do you remember what happened in the orphanage? Maya and you came from the same orphanage. You should know each other,” asked Eva, who stood next to Mia.
Mia’s eyes widened at Maya. Unfortunately, she couldn’t remember a thing about the orphanage.
Did they know each other when they were young?
Maya giggled. “You can’t remember? We were best friends. Are you going to abandon me now that you’re the true Ms. Lane?” Mia took a few steps back, frowning. “I can’t remember. If we were friends, why did they only adopt you but not both of us?” Maya’s eyes betrayed guilt. “Because you were adopted before they came.” Dominic was furious. “If that was the case, why didn’t you tell us? At the end of the day, it took us longer to look for Mia!” Maya retorted, “How would I know that she was the person you were looking for?” Eva slapped Maya. “Lies! You lied to us for years! You were trying to replace her.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 515-At this point, Mia sort of understood what happened at the orphanage back then. Maya probably knew Dominic was looking for Mia, but she chose to deceive him and replaced Mia as the daughter of the Lanes.
Dominic regretted it badly. He glared at Maya. “The Lanes will hold you responsible for this. You’ll end up in prison.” Infuriated, Sharon chimed in. “I’ll also hold you responsible for my son’s injury!” Little did she expect Maya to attack someone with a knife, almost hurting Timothy in the process. She was convinced that Maya was a lunatic, and she even felt quite relieved that it was Mia who married Timothy instead of Maya.
As Maya began to scream frantically, a few shrill cackles escaped her lips occasionally. She seemed to have lost her sanity.
Dominic frowned. “Keep an eye on her.” “Enough, let’s leave. The event’s about to start, so let’s go.” Mia glanced up at Timothy. “It’s better for you to go to the hospital.” After saying that, she left with the Lanes promptly.
Chancing a glance at Timothy, Dominic said, “We’ll bring Mia back to Nord City, and I hope you’ll refrain from showing up before her, Mr. Barrett.” Timothy remained silent, yet his darkened gaze was fixated on Mia. He couldn’t care less about what the Lane family said. She was pregnant with his child, after all.
If the child wasn’t his, he couldn’t fathom why Mia tried to keep it a secret from him, to the point that she was willing to let him misunderstand her relationship with Connor. It was a fact that the child belonged to him, and even Mia’s identity change couldn’t alter that.
Timothy felt slightly relieved that he had a child. Otherwise, he had no reason to make her stay.
Meanwhile, Mia left the dressing room with her brothers. Mixed emotions swirled in her chest. She thought she had finally reconnected with her family, but she didn’t expect their prestigious background.
Nor did she foresee her future as the daughter of a rich family. She has swapped positions with Maya entirely, and Maya was now an orphan.
Silence hung in the air when they stepped into the elevator.
“Mia, are you mad?” Dominic asked.
Liam chimed in swiftly. “Mia, it was Dominic’s idea to get us to keep our identities a secret. We didn’t agree to it. Blame him.” Without a trace of hesitation, Claude said, “Exactly. We never wanted to lie to you. Dominic forced us to do so.” Dominic was bewildered. How could they betray him in the blink of an eye? Weren’t they supposed to back each other up?
Feeling perplexed, Mia glanced over at them. The other five Lane brothers separated themselves from Dominic, leaving him deserted in a corner. He stood still, looking particularly pitiable despite his big frame.
He looked at Mia, saying, “I admit it’s my fault back then. I underestimated the evil and greediness in one’s heart, and I didn’t expect a little girl like Maya to manifest such malice. If I didn’t bring her back, she might’ve already told me about your whereabouts to ensure she’ll lead a good life.” Mia’s eyes reddened. “Dominic, it’s not your fault. No one expected Maya to be that malicious as a kid. I can’t remember what happened back then, so I have no idea why she lied.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 516-Mia looked at her brothers. “However, I’m no longer bothered by them. Let the past stay in the past. At least I know I wasn’t abandoned, and my family has never given up on searching for me. This is more than enough.” She wasn’t alone–she had family. Thus, she really didn’t mind.
Dominic’s eyes turned red as he choked, “Mia, you’re too kind and sensible.” He knew she was the kindest, cutest and most sensible soul on this planet.
Mia smiled. “We have to leave for the graduation dinner. No one’s ever been to my parent–teacher meetings, but I’m glad my family made it to my graduation.” All the Lane brothers teared up. They didn’t deserve her. Seeing how overwhelmed they were, Eva sighed.
“Mia, let’s go. The elevator’s here.” They strode out of the elevator, and the Lane brothers immediately attracted all the ladies‘ attention. It caused quite a ruckus. Mia had expected her brothers‘ arrival would cause a scene.
Who doesn’t like eye candy, after all? And it was six eye candies, not just one.
She sat down and glanced around the hall she decorated. Realizing that her family was seated behind her, she was overjoyed.
Just then, Mia spotted Dana in a corner on the second floor. Stunned, she met Dana’s eyes, realizing that her face was injured. It seemed like she suffered a beating. Was it Maya who did that to her?
“Mia, what are you looking at?” “Nothing.” She flashed a quick smile, and glanced up again. There was no sign of Dana. Was she mistaken?
Meanwhile, Dana was leering at Mia, who was seated in the VIP area, from a corner upstairs. A hint of resentment glinted in her eyes. She finally found out that Mia was the real daughter of the Lanes, and Maya was just an orphan who was adopted.
What Dana couldn’t get over was why they couldn’t lead much better lives when they had all come from the same orphanage?
Defiance gleamed in her eyes. She used to be abandoned in the orphanage, and she had fantasies about turning out to be the daughter of a rich family. Perhaps she was swapped by mistake, or she was lost.
She’d Imagined that she would meet her biological parents one day, and she would retrieve her spot as the daughter of a prestigious family. She would marry a handsome and charming man, living happily ever after with him.
Now, all her fantasies vanished. Maya framed her, causing her to be expelled by the school. The actual daughter of the Lane family turned out to be Mia Instead of Maya.
Dana was left with nothing now. She loathed the fact that Mia was the real daughter of the Lanes instead of her. They were both orphans from the same orphanage, but why did fate favor Mia? She studied and worked diligently, but she was miles away from her dream life.
If Dana couldn’t get what she wanted, then others didn’t deserve what they had as well. She spun around and dwindled into the darkness.
Mia, who was seated below the stage, glanced over at the spot she found Dana earlier. A shiver raced up her spine. She couldn’t help but sneeze, suddenly having a hunch that something bad was about to happen.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 517-“Mia, what’s wrong?” Dominic’s question snapped Mia back to her senses.
“Nothing,” she replied with a smile. Gazing at her, Dominic added. “There’s a charity auction later. You can bid whatever you have your eyes on. Money’s not an issue.” Visibly amused, Mia glanced at him and quipped, “Oh, I remember you told me you’re a real estate agent?
Dominic cleared his throat and said, “I only mentioned real estate. You assumed I was an agent.” Her gaze drifted to her other brothers. “Nathan, the software programmer?” Nathan said solemnly. “Let me reintroduce myself formally. Nice to meet you, Mia. I own Techsphere.” “Oh my god, it’s your company who developed the famous online game!” Mia’s hands flew to her mouth as she spiraled in absolute shock.
Connor took the initiative to defend himself hastily. “Dominic came up with the nonsense of me being a vet. I never admitted that I was one.” Mia narrowed her eyes. “So, you’re that renowned doctor in Nord City? You’re actually the one who operated on Grandma Laura, right?” Rubbing his nose guiltily, he mumbled, “Yeah, but I wasn’t deliberately lying to you. I was in a difficult position back then, and I had no idea how I should explain it to you. I was worried that you’ll be mad at me.” Mia glanced over at Claude. “Are you merely a piano teacher? I remember Maya boasting about her brother being a famous pianist, and he owns the orchestra.” Claude broke into a fit of cold sweat. “E–Exactly. But Mia, I didn’t do that on purpose. I swore that I wouldn’t let Maya join the orchestra, and I’ve been persuading you to join us.” Averting her gaze to Jason, she questioned, “You own the extremely well known law firm, don’t you? You’re the best lawyer in Nord City, aren’t you?” Jason, who was eloquent and had no issues with expressing himself, was now at a loss for words. He stammered, “Mia, I’m sorry for lying to you all this while.” When Mia was falsely accused, the famous law firm in Nord City defended her case. She thought Jason managed to persuade them to do so, but little did she expect him to own the law firm.
Lastly, she fixed her gaze at Liam, beaming at him. “The famous actor who worked as an extra?” Only now did she realize he wasn’t Lindon’s stunt double–he was literally him!
Clearing his throat, Liam said, “I’m not going to defend myself, but Mia, I’ve never thought of deceiving you. Dominic forced me to do so!” Dominic waved his fists at Liam. How dare he make him bear all the blame? What a bastard!
Mia was overwhelmed once she found out about their real identities. She used to imagine herself being brought back by a wealthy family so she could spite the Barretts. Well, she certainly didn’t expect it’d actually happen.
She pinched herself hard. Her eyebrows immediately drew together as she exclaimed. “It’s not a dream.” Dominic’s heart ached. “Of course it isn’t, Mia. It’s real.” Eva placed the paddle in Mia’s palm as she urged, “Buy anything you like!” “Yeah!” The other Lane brothers chimed in simultaneously as they shoved their paddles in her hand.
“It’s not like I need that many of them,” Mia quipped.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 518-Eva gave her a warm smile. “Don’t worry about it, Mia. A paddle represents a bidder. You can bid six lots, and we’ll pay for it.” “But I-” “Just do it. Your brothers are all guilty as hell right now. Trust me, if you just picked one, the others would start a brawl For the sake of our peace, I’d advise you to bid six lots so it’s fair to everyone.” Mia was perplexed. She was aware that she had to be fair by buying everyone a separate gift, but she never knew that was the case with spending as well. She glanced back at her brothers, and they all nodded in agreement.
Dominic was unfazed. “Mia, I’m richer. Don’t go easy on me.” Clearing his throat, Nathan chimed in, “Mia, my company makes plenty of money, you want!” “Mia, me too!” “Listen to me, Mia. You should spend my money instead.” You can splurge all “Enough!” Mia exclaimed. She cast a helpless glance at Eva, finally grasping what she meant. To foster peace between her brothers, she had to bear the responsibility of bidding six lots at the auction.
Whilst she fulfilled her responsibility, she attracted everyone’s attention. She felt slightly uneasy as she met the envy in their eyes. She had always been the one sitting in the corner, watching how others draw attention. Little did she expect to be put in the spotlight for splurging on her brothers‘ dime.
Kennedy was flabbergasted. He never expected Mia to be seated with the Lanes, let alone be close to them. What stunned him the most was that she bidded with their paddles and they showed up to pay the bills instead of her. He could barely recover from the shock.
Panicking, the host seeked assistance from Kennedy. “What should we do now? She bidded six lots alone! This isn’t scheduled in the event flow!” Kennedy was forced to take over. Looking at Mia, he said, “Mia bidded six lots today, contributing six equal shares of love and care to those who are in need. Give her a round of applause!” A clamor of applause erupted in the hall.
An awkward smile spread across Mia’s face. Still, she figured that she was being a Good Samaritan since all profit gained from the charity auction would be donated to those in need.
“Let’s welcome Mia on stage to say a few words.” Utterly bewildered, Mia stared at the microphone In absolute refusal. With all eyes on her, she was plunged into a difficult situation.
Eva encouraged her, “Go on, Mia. Just a few words will do.” nce we should all Feeling resigned, Mia took the microphone and said, “Actually, this isn’t a big deal contribute to this. Back then, I was only able to enter college with the assistance of a charity donation. I hope more children in need could receive the same help.” “Mia, as an orphan and a low–income student, where did you get the money to bid six lots?” Mia’s gaze traced the direction of the voice and realized that it came from one of Maya’s lackeys. She wasn’t present when Maya’s identity was exposed, so she knew nothing about Mia’s relationship with the Lane family.
Just then, all her brothers rose simultaneously.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 519-The Lane brothers looked intimidating when they rose in unison.
Layla’s expression shifted in an instant. A hint of confusion flickered across her eyes. Weren’t these men Maya’s brothers? Nonetheless, she saw no sign of her and Mia took her seat instead.
This was strange.
Kennedy immediately sensed that something was wrong. He wanted to mention that Mia was Timothy’s wife and she was certainly well off, but he bit his tongue when he met the Lanes‘ glare. Zipping his mouth shut, he thought the Lanes were truly formidable.
“Mia, pass me the mic.” Mia glanced at Dominic and did as he said. He took the microphone and stared at Layla.
“We gave her the money as her family because we thought it’d be nice of her to contribute something significant to the society.” “F–Family? Aren’t y’all Maya’s brothers?” Dominic’s gaze swept past the hall as he said, “Since Mia’s classmates are here as well, there’s no need to keep this a secret. Actually, Maya was adopted. The biological daughter of the Lane family had been missing for years, and we finally found her recently.” Everyone was shell shocked as they stared at Mia in disbelief. What Dominic said was pretty obvious.
Still planted on the same spot, Mia sighed. It seemed like it was impossible for her to keep a low profile now.
Literally every soul in the hall spiraled in shock, including Kennedy who was on the stage. The microphone in his hand almost dropped as he realized Mia was the daughter of the Lanes. But she was Timothy’s wife as well!
Fate truly favored her.
Mia flashed an awkward, yet courteous smile. Glancing up at Layla, she noticed her expression turned sour. She bet Layla didn’t expect Maya to be adopted. Layla had been eager to cause her trouble to please Maya, after all.
Just then, Claude took over the microphone as he fixed his gaze on Layla. “I remember you. You joined the audition for the orchestra, and your performance was remarkable. It seems like your offer letter is on the way.
Layla seemed uneasy as she replied hastily, “Y–Yeah. Thanks for the compliment, Mr. Lane.” “Don’t thank me, because your offer letter is officially terminated now!” “Why?” Layla looked like someone had punched the living daylights out of her. She instinctively chanced a glance at Mia as she bit her lip in defiance. “It was a misunderstanding, and I wasn’t aware that Maya was adopted. Isn’t it unfair to terminate my offer letter just because of a misunderstanding?” Claude was unfazed. “Are you justifying the fact that you can insult Mla because you weren’t aware that she’s the daughter of the Lane family? The orchestra doesn’t need a two–faced and immoral person like you.” Jason chimed in, “According to the rumors you spread earlier, you’ve harmed Mia’s reputation. If any of these rumors begins to circulate, you will be held legally responsible for that.” In an instant, Layla plopped to the ground in shock. She was petrified by the huge trouble she got herself into. She meant to please Maya, but little did she expect Mia to be the actual daughter of the Lanes.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 520-Layla was doomed. Looking at Layla’s face which was now drained of any color, Mia didn’t have any pity for her. If it weren’t. for her identity, she would’ve fallen victim to her accusations. Just then, Mia spotted Timothy. He strode in with his bandaged arm, looking slightly pale. She didn’t expect him to return from the hospital that soon. It wasn’t possible. The hospital was quite a distance from her college, and he couldn’t have returned in such a short period of time. The only possibility was that he didn’t even visit the hospital–he merely went to the infirmary, Timothy’s arrival had people swooning over his looks as well. He took long, wide strides toward the VIP area and sat next to the Lane brothers. Kennedy stammered hastily. “L–Let’s continue.” Mia went back to her seat, but she had a constant feeling that someone was watching her. Uneasiness swallowed her as the auction reached its end. Kennedy was giving a speech on the stage. “That’s a wrap of this splendid event! A big thank you to Mr. Barrett from Barrett Group for your support. We’ll be delighted to hear a few words from you on stage.” Baffled, Mia glanced over at Timothy, Wasn’t he hurt? As expected. Heath went on stage and handed the microphone to Timothy instead. His long and slender fingers twined around the microphone as he spoke in a low timbre. “I apologize for not being able to go on stage due to my injury. Regarding today’s event —* Mia’s gaze was fixated on his arm. She remembered his injury was quite severe. Why did he return when he should’ve been at the hospital? “Mia, let’s go. The event has ended, after all” Claude had a hunch that Timothy had something up his sleeve. Now that Mia’s identity was revealed, he strived to protect Mia by all means. Mia nodded, and followed her brothers out of the hall. Their cars were parked outside, and Mia got in the car with Dominic and Eva. The other brothers watched them leave in envy. Liam was indignant. “Why do they get to be in the same car as Mia?” Looking visibly jealous, Claude chimed in. “There has to be a rotation. I want to be in the same car with Mia too.” The others nodded in agreement, all coming to a consensus that having a rotation was the best arrangement. Just then, Connor spun around and saw Timothy emerging from the hall. His face tell. Five of them confronted Timothy, and Timothy no longer acted arrogant. They were Mia’s family, after all. Pursing his lips, he went up to them. “When are you planning to bring her back?” “Very soon. Why do you ask? Are you going to see her off at the airport? Connor snapped, A smirk played on Claude’s lips. “You’re Timothy, aren’t you? Mia’s one of the Lanes now, and you don’t deserve her. Straighten your senses and reflect on whether you’re actually worthy of her.” Jason scowled at Timothy, saying, “You’ve already divorced Mia. I hereby warn you to stay away from her, otherwise my law firm will make sure that you’ll be very sorry!” Liam snickered. “If you dare to make a move, I’ll get the whole Internet to gang up on you! You know how terrifying those netizens can be, and ex–husband shenanigans are certainly not their cup of tea.” Timothy stood his ground and answered unwaveringly. “To me, she’s the one and only Mrs. Barrett.” She would be his for the rest of his life.
