Ch. 581..590

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 581-Mia recognized the woman as soon as she saw her face.

Once, Mia came across pictures of that woman on Timothy’s laptop.

She had headed to Timothy’s study to type a document on his desktop because her college suddenly requested something.

She noticed an individual file, which contained pictures of that woman.

She asked him who she was, but he got angry and prohibited her from entering his study.

After that, she did try asking around and prying from Shelly for more information but to no avail.

That woman could be the person Timothy liked. That was Mia’s guess.

However, she put it at the back of her mind after Maya showed up. No matter who that woman was, it was not something she should ask.

Who would’ve known that she would meet that woman in person, standing next to Timothy no less?

The woman’s eyes on him were smitten with love and ecstasy.

Mia knew that gaze all too well.

While she wondered who the woman was, the elevator door closed.

During the three years sho spent by Timothy’s side, she had never seen that woman in person. Let alone hear anything about her from him.

“Mia, I’m kinda hungry. Let’s go grab something.” Gina suggested intentionally, attempting to pull Mia back from her reverie.

The duo headed to a restaurant where they had made a reservation for a private lounge.

The position of the private lounge was great as they could enjoy the scenery out there.

After the meal, Mia went to the toilet.

The moment she stepped out of the compartment, she ran into that woman. The graceful air around her was enough to indicate that she came from a wealthy family.

While washing her hands, Mia heard the woman talking over the phone. “Help me pick a pretty silk scarf.

+15 BONUS I heard that Mrs. Barrett Senior likes it. I’ll take a look at it when I’m home. I need it this weekend.” Based on that conversation alone, Mia could easily guess that the woman was going to join the party this weekend.

Taking a deep breath, Mia told herself not to overthink. She and Timothy had divorced anyway. His relationship with other women had nothing to do with her.

Mia returned to the private lounge before leaving the restaurant with Gina.

When she entered the car, she could see Timothy and that woman coming out together from the corner of her eye.

They were getting along pretty well.

Mia even watched as that woman linked arms with him, to which he happily allowed.

Hurriedly, Mia withdrew her gaze and looked at the vehicle in front of her car.

She began mocking herself inwardly.

Gina linked her arm with Mia’s. “We have to move on, Mia. Let bygones be bygones. Besides, you’re young, rich, and pretty! You have everything. Men are nothing,” Gina comforted her.

Mia smiled. “You’re right.” She stroked her belly as she thought about how she was going to leave for Nord City after Laura’s party anyway.

Time flew by and it was already the weekend.

Her brothers flew back to Bern City on Friday night.

Eva tugged Mia’s hands. “Mia, I’ve been busy decorating your room these days. I also prepared many surprises for you! I hope you’ll be able to adapt to the place well.” “Thanks, Eva!” Mia and Patricia had packed up their stuff because they wouldn’t return to Bern City that often once they left.

Dominic informed Patricia, “We’ve made arrangements at a hospital in Nord City. Someone will send your husband there. Nothing will happen to him during the transmission, I promise.”

 

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 582-Patricia nodded, her eyes welling up with tears. “Thank you.” “That’s our line. Thank you for being willing to come to Nord City with us so that Mia won’t be that lonely.

Dominic felt grateful.

Looking at her six brothers, Mia couldn’t hide the blissful smile beaming across her face.

The next morning, Eva took Mia out after breakfast.

“Mia, I’ve made an appointment with a makeup artist and a hairdresser from Vior. You’re going to be the belle of the ball tonight.” Mia said helplessly. “Eva, I’m only going to congratulate Mrs. Barrett Senior on her recovery, not participating in a beauty pageant.” “You can’t say that. After all, you’re joining the party as Ms. Lane. Make them regret disrespecting you in the past.” Dominis nodded. “Eva’s right.” Mia followed her family to the top floor of the mall. Claude and Liam came along as well.

As soon as they left the elevator, there was a strong smell of perfume and she covered her nose subconsciously.

• When she looked up, there stood Shelly and her minion. Just as she had expected. Ever since Mia was revealed to be the true Ms. Lane on campus that day, Shelly and Sharon never showed up in front of Mia anymore. It was as though they had vanished into thin air. Mia didn’t think about them anyway, but she didn’t expect to run into Shelly here. The atmosphere turned awkward instantly. Shelly looked surprised to see Mia. Her guilty conscience was ringing in her head too. But that didn’t stop her heart from racing the moment she saw the two gorgeous–looking men beside Mia. Previously, Shelly dreamt of marrying anyone among the Lane brothers since all of them were handsome. However, it was later revealed that Maya was a fake Ms. Lane. Mia was the real Ms. Lane instead. A long time had passed since that reveal, yet Shelly still couldn’t accept reality. After all, Shelly had always looked down on Mia. Now that Mia had become rich and was living a more luxurious life than her, she couldn’t accept the difference. Eva spoke up first. “Oh my, isn’t this Ms. Barrett? Are you here for your makeover too?” Shelly lit up as she answered proudly, “Y–Yeah! Timothy made an appointment here specially for our family.” “Specially? What are the odds? We made an appointment with the makeup artist and the hairdresser here as well. Who says that they’re here for your special service?” Claude glared at her. “How dare he try to steal the stylists from us!” Liam snorted coldly. “I know the employees here. We booked an appointment first. If he wants to cut in line, he must seek our permission first.” Despite their steely expression, Shelly was captivated by their looks. She tried to put in good words with Mia. “It’s not a big deal. We can do it together. Mia, you can go first. I’m not in a rush.” The way Shelly acted reminded Mia of the time Shelly treated Maya. It was exactly the same. Mia arched her brow. “Ms. Barrett, we’re not that close. Please address me properly.” How dare Shelly call her by her first name.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 583-Mia just straight–up humiliated Shelly.

Completely caught off–guard by that, Shelly watched them enter Vior. Claude and Liam were walking by Mia’s side.

Shelly’s minion exclaimed, “It must be nice to have such handsome and protective brothers. I’m satisfied with just one, but to think that she has six? I’m jealous.” “Shut up!” Shelly stomped her foot out of anger as she didn’t expect a head–on humiliation from Mia.

As the daughter of the Barrett family, Shelly couldn’t understand where Mia found the courage after reuniting with her rich family.

Had it not been for her interest in the Lane brothers, Shelly wouldn’t have bothered to talk to Mia at all.

Her ego took a hit, and her frustration certainly didn’t go away. She followed them into the Vior store.

Meanwhile, the owner of the place had been waiting for Mia’s family. “This way please, Ms. Mia.” Mia didn’t allow Eva to follow her into the fitting room. Mia’s belly was bulging, which she didn’t want Eval to notice.

The plan was to tell the others about her pregnancy after returning to Nord City.

The host of the party tonight was the Barrett family, so she reckoned that it was better to keep her pregnancy a secret for now.

Mia chose a gown that could cover her growing belly. With the high waistline and puffy hemline, it wouldn’t accentuate her belly.

It was perfect since she wanted to conceal her pregnancy from others‘ for now.

She looked at herself in the mirror. “I’ll take this.” When Mia was going to walk out of the fitting room in that dress, Shelly stepped out of the abutting compartment.

Shelly’s expression was indifferent, with no intention to greet Mia out of courtesy at all.

Shelly stood in front of Mia instead. “Mia, you don’t know why Timothy, that workaholic, would make an appointment here, do you?” +15 BONUS Mia recalled the day she went to the restaurant, where she ran into a woman and Timothy.

Could it be because of that woman whose pictures appeared on Timothy’s laptop?

“Mia, do you still remember the time you asked me about the woman on Timothy’s laptop?” Mia had a vague guess of her intention.

Still, she wondered why Shelly didn’t tell her back then.

Calmly, she asked, “Did I ask that? I can’t remember.” “You’re pretending. You’re obviously bothered by the truth.” Shelly showed a triumphant expression.

The gown Mia was wearing was a limited edition tailored piece. She was also wearing a necklace from Vior’s personal collection.

Shelly’s jealousy went through the roof because not even she herself could enjoy such a privilege.

Yet, Mia had it better than her!

Mia chuckled, contempt evident in her eyes. “Who are you to judge my feelings? Timothy and I have divorced. Besides, I have everything right now. Why would I be bothered by something that’s none of my business?” She then lifted her dress to leave with her head held high.

Shelly huffed behind her, “Mia Bowen, she’s Luna Maynard, the woman Timothy cares about the most. That’s why he made a special appointment here. It’s for her. He’ll introduce her officially to the rest of the family at the party tonight.”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 584-Mia halted in her tracks, turning her head to face the store employee. “Bring me the most expensive jewelry you have.” The employee grinned. “Sure. Here’s our latest limited edition collection. Take a look at them. We only have a set of them in Bern City.

“Alright.” Mia cast Shelly a backward glance. “I don’t think you’re wearing any decent jewelry. Would you like me to ask them to lend you a set of jewelry?” Such a degrading attitude angered Shelly. “I am Shelly Barrett, Mia Bowen, Who needs you to lend me pieces of jewelry? I have everything I want!” “Oh really? I remember that your cards were frozen, though. You’re just leeching off your family. Your living allowance is only this much. Can you afford these pieces of jewelry?” Mia hit a sore spot.

The past three years were enough for her to tell what kind of person Shelly was and what Shelly cared about the most.

As Mia had expected, Shelly’s features distorted in fury as soon as she said that.

It was a refreshing sight to behold.

Putting on a haughty expression, Mia left the fitting room.

Shelly had never suffered such humiliation before.

She had always been the person to poke fun at Mia for being penniless, but their positions switched this time.

It was infuriating to Shelly.

Mia’s words rang in Shelly’s head and she had an idea. She reached out to Timothy, but no one picked up the call.

She texted, ‘Timothy, Luna likes Vior’s latest jewelry collection better. There’s only a set of it in Bern City, but the employee here says that they’re not for sale.‘ She clicked the send button, letting off some steam.

As long as she couldn’t own something. Mia could never own it either.

On the other hand, Mia was in a good mood when she left the fitting room.

Claude was the first one to stand. “Mia, you’re gorgeous in this dress. You look like a princess.” Liam clapped his hands. “Mia’s pretty and she’s our princess. She looks good in everything.” Eva was grinning ear–to–ear. “That’s right. Mia looks good in everything. But Mia, why didn’t you choose that champagne dress? Your back is pretty. You can put everyone in a trance in that gown.” The smile on Mia’s face stiffened because that champagne dress was tight–fitting. It would reveal her bulging belly.

“I gained a few pounds lately while prepping for exams. My waist grew thicker. I would look fat in that dress, so I chose this.” She made up an excuse.

Claude cocked a brow. “Wear anything you like. No one will have the nerve to say that.” Liam nodded. “Yeah. You’re not fat at all. You’re too skinny.” Mia couldn’t fathom the way they thought at all. She simply assumed that they let their mouth run without thinking.

After choosing a gown, Mia headed for a skin glow–up before proceeding with makeup and hairstyling.

While she was waiting for the jewelry, the owner came up to her all nervous. “I’m so sorry, but someone has just bought the latest jewelry collection.”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 585-Mia was slightly surprised to hear the news, but it didn’t really bother her as it was actually a show she had put up for Shelly.

However, Eva was more upset than her. Eva looked at the owner, “That’s fast. You said that it was still available a moment ago, though.” “Who bought it?” Claude inquired coldly.

The owner hesitated for a second. “It’s Mr. Barrett. I’m terribly sorry about this.” This was Bern City. The store owner wouldn’t push her luck by going against Timothy when he personally made an order.

Mia smirked when she heard that he was the buyer. Guessing who he bought it for was an absolute no- brainer Luna was indeed someone special to him.

Eva didn’t like how things were escalating. “Are the Barretts doing this on purpose? It’s just a jewelry collection. Do they think that we don’t have anything more expensive? Thank god I brought along my personal collection. Mia, wear all of it for the party later!” Claude whistled, envious. “Eva’s collection is indeed ten times more expensive than branded jewelry.” Liam nodded. “Yup. I better remember this. How dare he try to humble us! I will not let this happen.” Mia spoke up, “Forget it. I don’t care about this anyway. I’m not losing anything anyway. Eva’s collection.

is more precious.” for you to wear t “Silly you. I brought them along just the party. It’s a different matter. You can take a look at the jewelry they have here and buy whatever you want. You can wear them on usual days.” Claude showed his black card right away. “She’s right. Mia, buy whatever you like. Do not hesitate.” Liam fished out his credit card as well. “He’s right. Do not think twice.” They tickled her funny bones.

When she was an orphan, she saw this kind of scene shown in telenovelas. Never in her wildest dream had she imagined herself to live a fairy tale.

+15 BONUS She grabbed their cards to take a picture and shared it on her social media with the caption, “My brothers told me to use their cards.” Gina was the first to like and comment. ‘Another day to feel envious of someone else’s life. I wonder how nice it would be to have a brother.” Her classmates left comments too. ‘Your family is so nice to you, Mia. I’m jealous!” Timothy saw her post not long after she shared it. It stirred mixed feelings in him.

He gave her his card in the past, but she had never used it once. Ever.

Heath came up to him. “Mr. Barrett, I’ve ordered Vior’s latest jewelry collection. Where should it be delivered to?” “To the Barrett residence,” Timothy answered without a second thought.

Mia would be heading to the same venue. Even if Shelly hadn’t texted him, he would know that Mia having a makeover in Vior anyway.

Then, Heath reported, “Mr. Barrett, Ms. Maynard is here.” Timothy looked away from his laptop, his lips pursing. “Let her in.” was Luna was dolled up poshly. She breezed into the office with grace. Her eyes showed a tinge of obsession the moment they laid on Timothy. “Tim.”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 586-Timothy lifted his head. “What are you doing here?” “Tim, I’m trying to choose a silk scarf for Mrs. Barrett Senior, but I don’t know her preference. Could you help me out? I hope she’d like my present.” The scarfs reminded him of the time Mia prepared a scarf of the same brand when she returned to the Barrett residence. She also exposed a distant relative for purchasing imitation on the same day.

Now, she has learned how to show her fangs. Her temper was that of a wild kitten.

Luna caught him not paying attention to her. She was baffled. “Tim?” He recentered his thoughts. “Grandma has enough scarves. You can give her something else.” “Why don’t you come shopping with me?” “I’m busy.” He then buried himself in work again.

She got out of his hair and left the office meekly. Time was of the essence. She had to prepare another gift immediately because she had to gain Laura’s favor.

Mia left the hairdresser, her fingers caressing her new jewelry around her wrist.

It was more luxurious than the one Vior offered her.

“Mia, let’s take a picture together,” Liam suggested.

After taking a picture together, he claimed, “I’m gonna share it on my Twitter, “let everyone know how pretty my sister is.” “No!” She pressed his hand. “I–I don’t want to reveal myself to the public for now. It’ll deprive me of freedom. I don’t want that to happen.” Liam looked serious. “Mia, do you want to be a celebrity? If I take you under my wing, you’ll be a rising global star in no time.” Claude chimed in, “Get in line, Liam. I told her to focus on piano so that she could be a great pianist. It’s easier than acting.” This then sparked a debate between the brothers over her future career. None of them would back down!

Eva whispered to her, “Don’t care about them, Mia. Just do whatever you want. These jobs are tiring. Besides, you have the privilege to enjoy life without working.” Mia chuckled as she watched her brothers debating. She was worried that they might get physical in the car.

They were heading to the Barrett residence. The other Lane brothers were on their way too.

All of them gathered outside the Barrett residence, The road was teeming with luxury cars. In other words, the quests today weren’t ordinary people.

“Mia, it’s Dominic and the others.” Mia glanced through the window to see Dominic and the others there. Mia’s car slowly drove into the yard.

The familiar place somehow made her feel a little nervous.

It was definitely the same old place she knew, but it felt different this time.

Considering how many luxury cars there were, seeing a few luxury cars being driven into Barrett residence was not an unordinary sight.

However, the Lanes drew all eyes on them as soon as they got out of the car because of their handsome looks.

This s was Bern City after all. Some of them didn’t know the Lane brothers from Nord City.

Dominic got out of the car and stood in front of the Stretch Lincoln Limousine as the others followed suit.

Everyone looked at them, wondering who else was still in the car.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 587-The black Stretch Lincoln Limousine pulled over in the yard with six handsome men standing in a line next to it.

Clad in tuxedos and white gloves, they appeared like vampires in movies.

The guests began gushing in an undertone.

“Who are these handsome men?” “I recognize that guy. He’s the famous actor, Liam Lane. There’s another guy that looks familiar to me. Are they the Lane family from Nord City?” “Who hasn’t gotten out of the car? To have these six gorgeous men waiting, that person must not be any ordinary person.” “I’m afraid the Lane family from Nord City had come. I heard that Timothy would marry one of them after the divorce. I guess the rumor is right.” Someone congratulated Sharon, “Congratulations, Mrs. Barrett! Isn’t the marriage between both your families just around the corner?” Mrs. Barrett, haven’t you been frowning upon your daughter–in–law for her poor family background all along? It’s time to get a rich daughter–in–law!” Those remarks put Sharon in an awkward spot.

In actuality, she had been stomaching everything herself and walking on thin ice in front of Laura.

Who would’ve known that Mia was actually the true Ms. Lane while Maya turned out to be the fake one? Timothy stood riveted at his spot, his dark eyes fixated on the Stretch Lincoln Limousine.

The car door opened before a pair of diamond heels landed on the ground. The pair of white calves revealed themselves before being covered by the white dress.

Mia bent over to get out of the car. Raising her head, she saw her six brothers offering their hands like knights.

She took Dominic’s hand and captured her balance. Her gaze swept across the nearby guests and saw Timothy standing in the middle of the crowd.

He appeared sophisticated and handsome in that cream suit, which was apparently the one she had chosen for him in the past.

Since he had always been wearing dark–colored suits, light colors would make him look younger.

However, he didn’t like it and never wore it once.

Yet, he wore it for today’s party! Mia clearly remembered that he said he didn’t like it.

She withdrew her gaze after sparing him a glance. Such a thing no longer concerned her.

Holding Dominic’s arm, she headed toward the guests with confident strides, Dubious gazes landed on her.

Most of the guests had met her before, when she hadn’t revealed her Identity and the Barretts disapproved of her.

Whenever a party was hosted by the Barrett family, as long as Laura was absent, Mia would either be the invisible person or the servant who served drinks.

At that moment, someone blurted in surprise, “Isn’t that Mia Bowen?” Hearing her name getting called, Mia turned her head to find Dahlia and Dixie there.

Their audacity surprised Mia. How could they have the nerve to show up at the party when they were driven away that time?

1 “Anything?” Mia’s smile didn’t reach her eyes.

The mother and daughter turned into green–eyed monsters after noticing the dress and jewelry on Mia.

Their tone turned sour. “I almost couldn’t recognize you with you dressed this way. Do you think branded clothes can cover your deeds?” “Cover what kind of deeds? Do you think everyone’s appearance changes at every party like you guys?” Mia retorted.

It stirred mockery from others. It was impossible to not know what kind of person Dahlia and Dixie were. The others didn’t expose them simply because they didn’t want to disrespect Laura.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 588-Livid. Dixie turned to Sharon. “Mia was driven out of the Barrett family, but she kept spending money with the Vior VIP membership card. She also bought a lot of expensive jewelry! An orphan like her couldn’t have afforded it. I bet she’s gotten herself a sugar daddy.” Dahlia nodded in agreement. “That’s right. We personally witnessed her using that VIP membership card the mall. If I remember it correctly, only a few people own that card. Not even Mrs. Barrett has it.” Sharon’s pride took a hit. Just how many times were they going to repeat the fact that she didn’t own a VIP membership card?

This was utter humiliation!

Right then, a crease deepened between Dominic’s brows as he glared at Dahlia and Dixie. “Someone please wash down the breath in their mouth. These plastic surgery monsters have such bad breaths.

Guess they didn’t brush their teeth before leaving the house today. I might as well do them a favor.” His brothers grabbed the ladies while one of them fed them champagne forcefully.

The ladies wriggled for freedom and cried for help before succumbing to the force, chugging the alcohol down without stopping.

The watching guests gaped in surprise.

Sharon noticed the shift in the atmosphere and stopped them. “Enough. Their stomachs might burst because of the drinks.” However, Dominic ignored her disrespectfully while wearing a steely expression.

Sharon shifted her gaze to Mia. “What do you think? This is Mom’s party. It’ll be bad if something happens here, won’t it?” Mia prompted, “Enough, Dominic.” “Why?” he questioned back. “Mia, you suffered so much during those three years with the Barrett family. I bet half of the guests here had picked on you before. Tell me who they are. I’ll give them the punishment they deserve.” As soon as he dropped that, a rich lady exclaimed, “How bold of you to say that! This is the Barrett family we’re talking about. Before you punish them for Mia, do you actually know that she was driven out of the family? What is your relationship with her?” He shot a glare at her in return. “I’m her brother.” +15 BONUS “Brother? Isn’t she an orphan?” She coldly snorted. “I heard that Mia was adopted and her adoptive family is poor. Did you spend a lot to make a grand appearance for today? Too bad. No matter how much money you spend, she’s never going to return to the Barrett family.” “Nina, enough.” Sharon quickly stopped her cousin sister.

“I’m not going to stop here. Someone as materialistic as Mia Bowen must’ve struck gold for marrying into the Barrett family. She should’ve taken the money and left after the divorce. What is she doing here?” When Mia was going to say something, Eva went up to Nina and delivered a loud slap to her face!

The silence was deafening.

Nina yelled, “You slapped me?” “Yeah, did, you old wench! Do you take us for a kitten if we don’t show our fangs? Is Mia someone you can mess with?” Eva placed her hands on her waist. “Just so you know, Mia is the true Ms. Lane from Nord City!”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 589-Mia’s respect for Eva increased twofold after witnessing her slapping the rich lady.

She never knew the gentle Eva had such a feisty side to her.

Nina was flabbergasted. “Are you talking about Mia Bowen?” “Yup.” Another person voiced her doubt, “You mean the Lanes from Nord City? Which family is it? Is it that wealthy family?” “No way. Isn’t Maya Lane the one? But I don’t think I saw her here. If she’s here, she could’ve told us about Nord City since she lives there.” Dominic looked at the person speaking, revealing, “Maya was adopted by our family. She’s not the true Ms. Lane. Everyone in Nord City knows about this. It’s not a secret.” That was why Maya was adamant about getting married and settling down in Bern City, where no one knew her origin.

Connor smiled meaningfully at Timothy. “Ms. Barrett, since you’ve invited our family, don’t you think you should introduce us to others?” Only then did Nina comprehend the situation. Still, she couldn’t fathom how Mia became the true Ms.

Lane so suddenly.

Timothy glanced at Mia, who was standing nearby in her white gown. The fact that she was surrounded by those six men made her look like a princess.

To realize that Mia could be so dazzling was new to Timothy.

He began, “Let us welcome our important guests, the Lanes from the Nord City, to the party. Mr. Dominic.

thank you for preparing a gift for my grandmother.” Next, he shifted his attention to Sharon, who could only bite the bullet by saying, “Right. This is Mr. Dominic Lane, the head of the Lane family from Nord City. This is his wife, Ms. Eva.” After learning that Mia was the true Ms. Lane, Sharon hadn’t gone outdoors. The sheer thought of Mia attending today’s party caused too much anxiety for her to get a good night’s sleep last night.

Sharon was fully aware of how badly she had treated Mia in the past, looking down upon Mia for not having any power or influence.

Now, karma was here to collect its debt.

Maya was the fake princess and Mia was the real one Claude added on. “You’re not finished yet. The most important person here is our precious sister–we lost her for many years because of an ill–hearted nanny and it was only recently that we found her.

All eyes were on Mia. Neither of them could believe what they had just heard. This was something could only see in telenovelas.

But they were witnessing it in real life at the moment!

Mia felt those surprised gazes on her. A part of them came from the Barretts‘ relatives, who bullied her often in the past.

Needless to say, their expressions were amusing.

Liam stood next to Mia. “Mia is our sister. She has received care during her stay with the Barrett family, so we’ll make sure to return the favor in the future.” Awkwardness surged in the air.

Sharon couldn’t manage her expression any minute longer as she couldn’t quite get the meaning behind those words.

Were the Lanes planning an act of revenge for Mia?

Nina, who couldn’t put up with this anymore, looked at Sharon. “Sharon, are you just going to watch me get bullied?”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 590-Sharon was like a cat on hot bricks, unable to comprehend Nina’s antics which were basically adding fuel to the fire!

Timothy glanced at Nina. “Since you’re feeling under the weather, you should return and get some rest.” She was driven out of the place before she could say anything.

The others watched the entirety of the situation, but they zipped their lips, especially the rich ladies who bullied Mia before.

They either held their head low or hid in a corner, not wanting to meet Mia’s eyes.

The status of the Lane family was tantamount to the Barretts.

Most of the guests ran subsidiary companies in Nord City. The moment they offended the Lanes would be the moment they kissed goodbye to their dream of building a business in Nord City.

Dominic looked at Sharon. “It seems like the Barretts are still reasonable in character.” Sharon forced a smile. “You’re flattering. Welcome to the Barrett residence. Here, come this way.” Looking at how Sharon was all respectful, Mia figured that only one’s status and power could make Sharon sit up and take notice of them.

Eva linked arms with Mia. “Come on, Mia. Let’s go.” “Okay.” Confidently, Mia walked into the parlor with her brothers.

There, Laura sat on the couch gracefully in a cocktail dress. She was in high spirits. “Mia, you’re here. Come, let me take a look at you. You’re gorgeous today.” “Grandma, you look good today too.” Mia took a seat next to Laura. “Allow me to introduce them to you. This is Dominic and Eva, my eldest brother and his wife. Here’s Nathan, Connor, the doctor who was in charge of your surgery. Claude..

One by one, she introduced her family to Laura.

Laura nodded in acknowledgment at the six handsome men. “It’s no wonder you’re a beauty, Mia. Turns out the good–looking gene runs in the family. They’re gorgeous!” Dominic spoke up, “Mrs. Barrett Senior, thank you for taking care of Mia for the past few years. And thank you for paying the medical bills for Mia’s uncle.” She waved her hand. “That’s nothing. We owe her too much. I’m glad that she has found her family. I can finally have peace of mind now.

Laura’s words and natural interaction with Mia were enough to tell Connor that she treated Mia well He offered, “Mrs. Barrett Senior, I’ll come over to check on you a few months later. If you feel under the weather, you can reach out to me at any time.” “Thank you. You’re the reason that I’m able to be here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known how long! could last. This is all thanks to Mia too.” Mia held Laura’s arm. “Nonsense, Grandma. I should be thanking you instead. My uncle wouldn’t have been able to last the past three years without you.” Smiling and giggling, they had a fun time.

Dominic could now understand why Mia treated Laura so well despite the Barrett family’s spiteful treatment.

Right then, Timothy came over only to see Mia sitting next to Laura. Mixed feelings surged in him.

The Lanes simultaneously looked at the incoming person. Their eyes read the same emotion that said. ” This man is such an eyesore!”
