Ch. 621..630
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 621-Timothy confronted Tanner Kimmel, the lord of Xanier Island, with a direct request. “Sell me the reishi mushroom.” Tanner cleared his throat before responding. “Mr. Barrett, you’ll have to wait until the auction to make a purchase.” Timothy narrowed his eyes slightly and inquired, “What are the terms?” “Mr. Barrett, this isn’t a matter of conditions.” Tanner replied.
Caleb interjected, “There’s nothing in this world that can’t be bought; it’s just a matter of whether one can meet that price. Xanier Island has always been open to business opportunities. Are you really going to pass up this opportunity?” Tanner hesitated before responding. “The main issue is that the reishi mushroom isn’t a product of Xanier Island; so it’s being privately auctioned. That’s why it’s not listed in any auction catalogs.” Timothy intervened. “Provide me with the contact details.” “Mr. Barrett, it’s important for you to understand our policy here at Xanier Island. We are unable to disclose client information,” Tanner replied.
Timothy fixed his gaze on Tanner. “How do you plan to explain to me the fact that your sister tried to abduct a little girl today?” Tanner immediately grew uneasy. “Mr. Barrett, this is all a misunderstanding. We would never abduct a little girl, especially not your child.” “She’s not my daughter. To be exact, she belongs to Caleb,” Timothy clarified. “Your hotel needs to offer us an explanation for this incident.” Though he remained composed, his tone carried an undertone of urgency.
Caleb’s surprise was evident as he responded, “Someone from the hotel kidnapped Ginger? Tim, are you serious?” “I wouldn’t joke about something like this.” Timothy asserted.
Caleb swiftly turned to Tanner, demanding. “How dare your hotel staff abduct my child? Is there some issue between us?” Regardless of whether Ginger was his daughter, the series of events–where she mentioned Caleb’s name only to be later abducted by the hotel staff seemed to indicate a personal grudge against Cate Tanner nervously took a sip of water and attempted to clarify. “Mr. Gomez, this is all a misunderstanda We have no conflicts, and there’s no motive for us to abduct a child, right?
Timothy responded nonchalantly. “It appears your sister has taken an interest in Caleb There’s a turner that there isn’t a man she can’t win over “My assumption is that she overheard Ginger mentioning Calety’s name, leading the hotel staff to hide her.5 Caleb couldn’t help but frown. “Targeting a child is unacceptable. It’s rather unfortunate that your sister has her eyes on me.” Realizing there was no way out, Tanner forced a smile and proposed, “I sincerely apologize for this. My sister has a rather forceful personality.
“How about this, Mr. Barrett? When it’s time for the reishi mushroom auction, I’ll make sure my tearn helps you secure the bid. Does that sound good to you?” Caleb responded casually, “Can’t you just sell it to us now?” “I’m afraid I can’t do that. It’s the private seller’s goods, and I don’t have the authority to interfere, Tanner responded.
Timothy’s tone grew cold, “Give me the seller’s contact details.” In the end, Tanner relented and passed over the contact information, adding, “Please don’t mention that! gave this to you.” With the contact details in hand, Timothy exited the room and instructed Heath to reach out to the seller directly.
However, the seller declined private transactions and insisted on going through Xanier Island’s auction process.
Caleb let out a frustrated sigh. “Is this seller out of their mind? Even with a generous offer, they’re declining. It’s not like we’re involved in any shady dealings.” Heath added, “It looks like our only option now is to bid at the auction.” The reishi mushroom was the sole medicine with the potential to awaken Laura, Timothy’s expression turned grim, and he spoke with determination, “I refuse to give up.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 622-“Tim, considering it’s still early, how about we head down to the basement floor for a few rounds? You’ve been buried in work for years without a break, wouldn’t it be nice to unwind a bit?
“I’ve heard that Xanier Island has invited professional gamblers to oversee the games. Maybe we even join them for a few rounds later.” With Ginger still in the room, Timothy promptly declined, stating, “No, I’m not going.” could Exiting the elevator, they crossed through the lobby on the ground floor before proceeding toward the accommodation area on the opposite.
Outside, the rain continued to pour heavily.
“Tim.” Just then, Luna stood at the entrance with her suitcase, completely drenched from the rain, her beautiful figure catching the attention of many men around.
As they approached the door, Timothy’s expression soured. “What brings you here?” “I heard about the reishi mushroom auction at Xanier Island, so I hurried over. The airport closed due to heavy rain, so I had to pay a fisherman a hefty sum to smuggle me here. I didn’t expect to run into you!” Luna replied.
She gazed up at Timothy with anticipation, yet his expression remained stoic.
Without hesitation, Caleb removed his suit jacket and draped it over Luna’s shoulders.
“Luna, you’re being too reckless. If the fisherman who brought you here has malicious intentions, you could be in serious danger. This is Xanier Island, a place where anything can be bought and sold.” Despite the warning. Luna managed a faint smile. “I get it, but I’m also eager to find the reishi mushroom quickly so Grandma Laura can wake up. I want to pitch in as well!” As her words trailed off, Luna cast a cautious glance at Timothy. “Tim, I promise I won’t cause any trouble for you.” Timothy remained silent as Caleb stepped forward to retrieve Luna’s luggage.
At that moment, a sleek black Lincoln limousine pulled up outside, its brakes making a slight squeak as it halted at the entrance.
Standing nearby, Luna accidentally got splashed with rainwater from the vehicle, making her already- drenched dress even dirtier.
Just as Caleb was about to speak, the Lincoln limousine abruptly stopped. A team of black–clad bodyguards swiftly emerged from both sides, lining up in front of the car door.
Their demeanor exuded an intimidating presence.
In addition to the imposing bodyguards, a red carpet had been rolled out from the car door, extending into the hotel lobby.
The driver respectfully exited the vehicle and approached the passenger side, opening the door. Stepping out was a figure in black high heels, highlighting slender and elegant legs.
The onlookers held their breath, their anticipation mounting as they watched the woman step out of the car, eager to catch a glimpse of her identity.
She was dressed in a flowing black gown, her dark hair gently curled, and a sparkling diamond necklace adorned her neck.
She wore no makeup, just a bold stroke of bright red lipstick, which accentuated her beauty with a confident flair!
As Timothy laid eyes on the woman exiting the car, he was momentarily stunned. Her familiar features stirred something deep within him.
It felt as though his mind had been momentarily blanked!
He instinctively tried to approach her, but the bodyguards intervened, leaving him with no choice but to watch helplessly as she walked past.
It took a moment for Timothy to collect himself. He pushed past the guards and hurried toward the woman, calling out, “Mia!” Timothy seized her wrist, his gaze locked onto her features that mirrored his memories, his heart pounding with a blend of joy and incredulity. “It’s really you, isn’t it?” He was convinced all along that Mia hadn’t died!
After tirelessly searching for her for four years, he had finally found her.
In an instant, Mia lifted her hand and delivered a swift, resounding slap across his face!
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 623-Timothy’s face tilted slightly, and a sharp, burning pain quickly spread across his cheek.
His eyes darted to Mia standing before him, his throat tightening as he said, “This slap is on me. If you’re still not satisfied… A resounding smack echoed as another slap landed on Timothy’s opposite cheek.
The atmosphere grew eerily silent.
Caleb and Luna hurried over together, their faces reflecting surprise as they observed the woman who bore a striking resemblance to Mia.
Luna’s eyes darkened with concern as she addressed Timothy, “Tim, are you alright?” Caleb stared at Mia in disbelief, finding it hard to fathom encountering her in this unexpected place.
There had been no news of Mia for the past four years.
Meanwhile, the Lane family in Nord City had covered up any information, leaving no clues to trace Mia’s whereabouts.
Timothy remained oblivious, gripping Mia’s wrist tightly as he pursed his lips. “Have you had enough of hitting me?” “Let go of me!” Mia protested.
She looked at Timothy in disbelief, who had seemingly appeared out of thin air. How dare he confront her like this!
With a chuckle, Mia moved closer, grabbing Timothy’s tie and murmuring. “Sir, many men are interested in me, but you’re the first one who dared to invite trouble. Despite your good looks. I’m not interested in this sort of masochistic play.” Upon hearing her words, Timothy spoke in a deep voice, saying, “You don’t have to pretend you don’t recognize me.” Mia abruptly lifted her head, leaving a red lipstick stain on Timothy’s collar.
She retrieved her lipstick, wrote a phone number on his shirt, and lightly patted his chest, remarking. “I have urgent matters to attend to at the moment, so I can’t engage in these games. Get in touch with me later.” Chapter 623 Timothy’s face tilted slightly, and a sharp, burning pain quickly spread across his cheek.
His eyes darted to Mia standing before him, his throat tightening as he said, “This slap is on me. If you’re still not satisfied… *
A resounding smack echoed as another slap landed on Timothy’s opposite cheek.
The atmosphere grew eerily silent.
Caleb and Luna hurried over together, their faces reflecting surprise as they observed the woman who bore a striking resemblance to Mia.

She retrieved her lipstick, wrote a phone number on his shirt, and lightly patted his chest, remarking. “I have urgent matters to attend to at the moment, so I can’t engage in these games. Get in touch with me later.” Witnessing her bold actions. Timothy’s eyes briefly flickered with confusion. His gaze shifted to her face, where he noticed a beauty mark at the corner of her eye–a feature Mia didn’t have.
He exclaimed, “You’re not Mia, are you?” “No, you’ve mistaken me for someone else.” Timothy found himself distracted by her beauty mark, causing his grip to instinctively loosen.
Seizing the moment, Mia turned on her heels and made her way toward the elevator. She massaged her wrist, realizing she should have consulted the almanac before venturing out today.
In modern times, it seemed that men had a variety of tactics when it came to impressing women.
They were even resorting to the strategy of playing hard to get!
“Wait a minute!” Standing outside the elevator, Mia heard footsteps approaching. A woman came up to her and blocked her way, causing Mia’s mood to sour. “Move aside!” Mia demanded sharply.
Luna fixed her gaze on Mia. “You can’t just leave like this. You’re Mia, right? Tim has been searching for you for years.
“Do you have any idea what kind of life he’s had all this time? And yet, here you are, pretending not to recognize him. Do you realize how painful that is?” Mia felt completely bewildered by the situation. What was happening here?
One thing was clear though, the woman confronting her seemed cunning, adopting a falsely righteous tone.
The kind of person Mia detested the most was a hypocrite.
As the elevator doors opened, Mia shot Luna a cold look. “Consider yourself lucky. I have important matters to attend to and have no time for this. Step aside, this is your final warning.” Rather than backing down, Luna moved closer and blocked Mia’s path. “You can’t leave until you yourself.” explain Growing increasingly impatient, Mia swiftly grabbed hold of Luna’s hair, leaving her utterly powerless with just one hand.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 624-Mia reached out and patted Luna’s cheek, her crimson lips curling into a cold sneer. “Can’t you… understand With each wo human language?” uttered, she tapped Luna’s cheek.
Luna was left reeling, her eyes widening in disbelief at having been struck.
After releasing Luna, Mia turned and entered the elevator. She glared coldly at the trio outside the elevator, her fiery red lips and commanding presence radiating an air of dominance.
Outside the elevator, Luna cradled her cheek, casting a pitiful look at Timothy. “Tim, I just wanted to intervene so you could speak with her. I didn’t mean anything else.” However, Timothy remained unfazed, disregarding Luna’s words as he simply gazed blankly at Mia inside the elevator.
After four years, she appeared to have undergone significant changes.” As the elevator doors closed, Caleb voiced his surprise, “Tim, are you positive she’s Mia? Although there’s a similarity in facial features, her personality is completely different.” Shee even acted assertively and slapped Tim twice!
The old Mia wouldn’t have dared to behave in such a manner, would she?
Timothy stole a glance at his palm, contemplating the beauty mark at the corner of her eye. “I’m not entirely sure.” He then turned to Heath and instructed, “Assign someone to investigate her identity.” Standing nearby, Luna looked distressed as she covered her face. “Tim, whether she’s Mia or not, this is too harsh. I just wanted her to explain.” Timothy’s voice remained calm as he cautioned, “You better not cause trouble. This is Xanier Island, not Bern City.” Luna’s eyes welled up with tears as she watched Timothy’s retreating figure, feeling deeply hurt.
Caleb observed her and commented, “That’s just Tim’s temperament. Men can act strangely when their spouses are no longer here. Luna, have you booked a hotel room?” “Not ve yet. It seems like all the hotels here are fully booked. I’ll figure something out.” Ubunk with Tim.” Caleb suggested. “You can stay in my room. I’ll bunk Luna bowed her head and walked alongside Caleb, still feeling the sting of the slap. A sense of resentment brewed inside her.
If it was truly Mia, Luna wouldn’t have any issue dealing with her again!
+15 BONUS Stepping out of the elevator, Mia’s mood soured.
She had come to attend the auction but unexpectedly encountered a man hitting on her in the lobby. gripping her wrist so tightly it turned red.
Mia was unimpressed. “Go find out more about that man,” she instructed.
Wade Miller, Mia’s butler, tentatively spoke up, “Ms. Mia, why do you want to investigate him?” Had Mia recalled something?
If his memory served him right, the man he just saw was Timothy!
Mia felt somewhat annoyed. “It’s obviously about getting even with them, especially Luna, whom I can’t stand. Plus, it’s boring being cooped up indoors on Xanier Island when it’s raining. I might as well have some fun.” Wade quietly sighed to himself, but Dominic had been clear. Mia must not have any contact with the Barretts!
At that moment, Mia received a call from home. With a smile, she answered, “Hey, Eva, what’s up?” you arrived at Xanier Island? There’s something I need to tell you, but please, don’t panic.
“Mia, have you “I just got to the hotel on Xanier Island. Eva, why are you being so secretive? What’s going on?” Eva took a deep breath. “Mia, Ginger is missing.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 625-“What? Could Ginger have been abducted?” Mia’s heart plummeted upon learning of her daughter’s disappearance. “Eva, I’m heading home immediately.” “No, it’s unnecessary. Ginger is currently on Xanier Island.” “That can’t be. I didn’t take her to Xanier Island.” Eva coughed softly. “Sage mentioned that Ginger wanted to surprise you, so she went to Xanier Island ahead of time. We couldn’t stop her. By the time I realized, she was already there.” Mia’s blood pressure soared instantly: she couldn’t fathom that her daughter had secretly fled to Xanier Island.
The thought of Ginger being in such a chaotic place filled her with dread–what if she had fallen into the hands of human traffickers?
Struggling to maintain her composure, Mia demanded, “Eva, put Sage on the phone. Is this how he’s taking care of his sister?” Eva cleared her throat before responding. “Mia, I’ve already scolded him. Right now, our priority is to locate Ginger. I’ve sent you her flight information. Let’s focus on finding her first.” Mia gritted her teeth. “Fine, once I find Ginger, I’ll have a serious talk with those two troublemakers!” It seemed that these children had been overly pampered, resulting in their unruly behavior.
Even Eva wouldn’t let Mia give Sage a stern lecture.
Upon hanging up the phone, Mia massaged her temples and turned to Wade. “Ginger has arrived at Xanier Island. She’ll likely head to the Xanier Island Grand Hotel. Please dispatch someone to find her. we need to locate her as soon as possible.” “Okay, I’ll get in touch with the lord of Xanier Island, Mr. Kimmel, right away.” “Wait, hold off on that. I’ve had a conflict with his sister, Lena. If she finds out that my daughter is missing at the Xanier Island Grand Hotel, she’ll likely try to sabotage it. If Lena gets Ginger, she won’t return her to me easily.” After some deliberation, Mia pressed on. “Arrange for someone to report Ginger missing, but keep my identity concealed.” “Understood,” Wade replied, swiftly making the necessary arrangements.
Upon hearing that Ginger was missing. Mia felt a wave of numbness wash over her.
She quickly dialed Ginger’s number, knowing that she always wore her Apple Watch when she went out. Despite multiple attempts, there was no response.
Mia’s agitation intensified. The mere thought of something bad happening to Ginger filled Mia with fear; she knew she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself if it occurred.
On the other end of the line, Ginger felt a pang of guilt as she saw Mia’s incoming call. Despite this, she couldn’t bring herself to answer it.
Sage had just informed Ginger that Eva already knew Ginger was on Xanier Island.
If Eva knew, then it was likely that Mia was already aware too.
Ginger nervously twiddled her fingers, debating whether to answer the call. But just as she resolved to do so, her watch screen went black!
She wondered if it was out of battery.
With her watch seemingly dead, Ginger could only wait for Timothy to return so she could contact Mia. As she waited, a wave of drowsiness washed over Ginger. She realized she hadn’t taken a nap all day.
$
Unable to resist, she helped herself to another slice of cake. Before long, she found herself dozing off on the sofa, her head tilted to the side.
Returning to the hotel suite, Timothy found Ginger fast asleep on the couch, still holding the unfinished cake.
Timothy couldn’t help but marvel at the scene. Children seemed to have a remarkable ability to fall asleep so easily.
Shortly after, Caleb entered the room, pushing the door open. “Luna’s staying in my room. It looks like you and I will be sharing this room for the night.” “Shh!” Timothy motioned for Caleb to lower his voice, raising a finger to his lips.
It was only then that Caleb noticed Ginger sprawled on the couch. He couldn’t shake the thought of the woman he had seen earlier who bore an uncanny resemblance to Mia. Was there a connection between the two?
Timothy glanced at Caleb and ordered, “Go grab a towel and clean her hands.” “Why me? Why can’t you do it?” “She’s your daughter.” “Come on, Tim, let’s be reasonable. She’s not my daughter.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 626-“If she’s not your daughter, why would she come all this way to find you? Didn’t you get dumped by some lady in Nord City? Could it be possible that Ginger is her child?” “That can’t be.” Caleb’s expression immediately darkened. He certainly didn’t want to revisit his troubled past in Nord City?
Looking at Ginger lying on the couch, Caleb eventually conceded. He retrieved a damp towel from the bathroom and used it to wipe off the cake residue from her hands.
Putting down the towel, Caleb inquired, “Tim, where is she going to sleep tonight?” The two men exchanged uncertain glances. Despite their business expertise, neither had much experience dealing with children.
Timothy’s gaze shifted to Ginger, who was awkwardly sprawled on the couch. Her resemblance to Mia struck a chord with him, leaving Timothy feeling somewhat disheartened.
Finally, he muttered, “She said she wants to sleep on the couch.” “Well, I guess that’ll do. I’ll fetch her a blanket.” “I’ll go take a shower.” Timothy couldn’t help but glance down at the lipstick marks on his clothes. As he reflected on the recent incident, his expression became unreadable.
The woman from earlier bore a striking resemblance to Mia, except for the beauty mark at the corner of her eye.
However, their personalities were entirely different.
The two men turned simultaneously and made their way toward the bedroom. Just before they entered, a muffled thud emanated from the direction of the sofa.
It was evident that something had fallen to the floor.
Timothy narrowed his eyes slightly and headed swiftly to the sofa. There, he found Ginger peacefully sleeping on the carpet.
Caleb chuckled. How has she not woken up yet?” Timothy stooped to lift Ginger from the floor. As he did so, Ginger nuzzled against his chest and made a soft smacking sound with her lips, calling out gently. “Daddy.” Finding a comfortable spot in his arms, she soon drifted off to sleep.
Timothy gazed down at Ginger in his embrace, his brow furrowing. “I didn’t say I was going to hold you while you sleep.” Ginger began to snore softly, her chubby hands clinging to his clothes.
Despite being able to easily move her hands away, Timothy decided not to intervene. Instead, he carefully cradled Ginger in his arms and carried her to the bedroom.
There, he laid her down on the bed and tenderly covered her with a blanket.
Watching the scene unfold, Caleb understood why Timothy had a change of heart. After all who could resist such an adorable face?
Leaning against the door, Caleb inquired. “Is your face still sore?” Earlier in the hotel lobby. Timothy endured two slaps without uttering a word.
Timothy’s expression soured. “No one asked for your two cents.” With that, he headed straight to the bathroom to change his shirt. Glancing at the phone number written on it, he fell silent for a moment.
Unable to resist his curiosity. Timothy retrieved his phone and dialed the number.
Soon, a sweet female voice greeted him, “Hello, you’ve reached Atlantic Men’s Clinic. Our exceptional team is here to assist you. Please hold while we connect your call… Upon hearing this, Timothy promptly hung up.
He tightly grasped his phone, realizing he had been deceived.
The long–lost sense of betrayal washed over Timothy as he looked at his reflection in the mirror, his narrowed eyes now tinged with redness.
He was determined to uncover the true identity of this woman!
The following morning, Heath received a call from a frustrated Timothy. “Get a fresh set of children’s clothes ready and bring them here.” On the other end of the line, Timothy’s expression darkened as his eyes fell on the urine stain on the bed. He was certain it was Ginger’s doing.
Being a clean treak, Timothy couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. He spoke sternly. “Did you seriously wet the bed?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 627-Upon waking up, Timothy noticed an unfamiliar scent in the air and discovered a damp spot on the bed sheet.
The thought made Timothy feel an urge to wash his hands repeatedly.
Ginger pouted, insisting. “It wasn’t me! It was that jerk who wet the bed and is trying to blame me.” Beside them. Caleb couldn’t help but chuckle. “Ginger, only children wet the bed, not adults. Among us, you’re the only child, so there’s no need to argue.” “I’m not a child anymore. I’m an adult!” Ginger retorted.
Nonetheless, she felt somewhat embarrassed and quietly pulled a small blanket over the wet spot on the bed, attempting to conceal it.
Caleb removed the blanket, insisting, “Ginger, there’s no need to hide the evidence. You were in the middle of the bed last night, and the urine is on the same spot. It’s quite obvious, isn’t it?
“It wasn’t me! I promise!” “You’re still a child, who else could it have been?” “I’m not a child anymore. I’m a grown–up. I stopped wetting the bed when I was three.” “And how old are you now?” “Four!” Ginger grew increasingly flustered, clutching the small blanket tightly as her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She refused to admit to wetting the bed.
Caleb couldn’t hold back his laughter. “You see, at four years old, you’re still very much a child, aren’t you?” “Being four years old doesn’t make me a child anymore,” Ginger retorted, raising her voice in an attempt to prove her maturity.
Meanwhile, Timothy rubbed his temples in frustration. Dealing with children was proving to be quite a handful.
Shortly after, Heath entered with a set of children’s clothes. “Mr. Barrett, here are the clothes.” Timothy glanced at Ginger and instructed. “Please go shower and change into fresh clothing.” Blushing, Ginger climbed off the bed, her feet barely grazing the floor, her toes hanging in the air.
Unable to resist her cuteness any longer, Timothy reached out and lifted Ginger off the bed.
Caleb raised an eyebrow. “Ginger, can you shower by yourself?” “Hmph, I’m a big girl, of course I can.” Ginger replied confidently, grabbing her clothes and dashing off to the Bathroom.
Caleb chuckled in response, finding it hard to suppress his laughter. “Tim, this kid is hilarious.” Timothy shot Caleb a cold glance. “Instead of laughing, why don’t you check your own clothes? They’re just as dirty.” “Oh, shit, when did this happen?” Caleb promptly rose from the bed and cast a glance at Timothy opposite him. “You’re pointing fingers at me, but check the back of your shirt–it’s dirtier than mine. Seems like our little friend here had a mishap next to you!” Timothy’s expression darkened as he quickly removed his shirt, revealing faint yellow stains on it.
Caleb couldn’t resist teasing, “Tim, this just proves that Ginger likes you more. These are all signs of her affection.” “Enough with the jokes,” Timothy snapped, tossing the shirt aside.
Glancing out the window, he remarked, “Looks like the rain has eased up. Has the airport reopened yet?” “Not yet. It appears this storm will persist for several days,” Caleb replied. 1.
Timothy couldn’t help but rub his temples. “It looks like Ginger won’t be able to leave Xanier Island anytime soon.” Caleb spoke up, “Tim, the auction is this afternoon. What do you plan to do about Ginger?” “She came to find you, so you should figure it out yourself.” Timothy, too, found himself at a loss for what to do!
After a while, Ginger emerged from the bathroom, skipping toward him.
As she approached, Timothy couldn’t help but notice her bright yellow outfit.
Ginger stood before him in yellow overalls and a small hat. She bashfully covered her face with her hands. “Mister, you’re not wearing a shirt. How embarrassing!”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 628-Timothy was momentarily speechless. He quickly picked up a nearby robe and draped it over himself.
Looking down at Ginger, he spoke up. “The heavy rain hasn’t stopped yet. Looks like you won’t be able to leave Xanier Island for the time being.” “Oh, I see. So that means people from outside can’t come here either?” Ginger let out a relieved sigh, knowing Mia couldn’t come. At least for now, she wouldn’t have to worry about getting in trouble.
Looking up at Timothy, Ginger pleaded, “Tim, can I stay for one more day? I’ll ask my mommy to give you money later.” Timothy couldn’t resist pinching her chubby cheeks affectionately. “I have some business to attend to later. You stay in the room and behave yourself. If you need anything to eat, just let the hotel staff know, and they’ll bring it to you. And don’t go running around.” “But Tim, can’t I go with you? I promise to behave,” Ginger pleaded.
“No.” Timothy replied firmly. After all, the casino was not a suitable place for children.
Ginger rolled her eyes in response. “Can I go to the amusement park then?” “Sure,” Timothy agreed:
He then pulled out a wad of bills from his wallet and placed them in Ginger’s small backpack. “Buy” whatever you like. But remember to take Joe with you to the amusement park. And no running around!” “Got it,” Ginger replied.
Taking her backpack, Ginger suddenly remembered something and retrieved her Apple watch. “It’s out of battery.” Timothy glanced at the watch and instructed, “Charge it for her.” Heath promptly brought over the charger. Ginger obediently waited by the Apple watch, her feet swinging in the air as she sat in her yellow overalls.
“Tim!” Just then, Luna entered the room, her surprise evident upon seeing Ginger on the sofa. “Who’s this?” She couldn’t help but notice the striking resemblance between Ginger and Mia.
Timothy elanced at Caleb. “You explain.” Caleb cleared his throat awkwardly and replied, “She might, uh, possibly be my daughter.” Luna’s confusion deepened upon hearing Caleb’s words. Ginger looked so much like Mia, how could she be Caleb’s daughter? She seemed more like Timothy’s child.
Lunt fet perplexed. Caleb, are you sure she’s your daughter? She doesn’t seem to resemble you at all.
And why haven’t you mentioned her before?” “Believe it or not, I only just found out myself,” “Caleb, are you sure you’re not being deceived?” At these words. Ginger shot a look at Luna and spat out angrily, “You’re the liar, and so is your entire Upon hearing Ginger’s accusation, Luna looked at her with a frown. “Why are you so upset, young lady?
Where are your parents?” Tm not telling you!” Ginger snapped, turning her back on them.
Aware of Ginger’s temper, Caleb intervened, “Ginger, we have to attend to some important matters.
Please stay here and don’t wander around.” With that. Timothy and Caleb exited the room together.
Luna couldn’t help but trail behind them. “Seriously, are you just leaving her here like this? Where exactly are you guys going, anyway?” Caleb turned to her, saying, “Luna, we’re heading to the casino on the first floor. Could you keep an eye on Ginger and make sure she doesn’t wander off?” Luna was taken aback. “But I don’t even know her,” she retorted.
Timothy glanced over. “You have some experience with children.” “Yeah, Luna, Ginger is around the same age as your son, so just help us out for now. Once the airport is operational again, we’ll arrange for her to go home.” Reluctantly, Luna consented. She asked cautiously, “Caleb, is Ginger really your daughter?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 629-As Luna posed the question, she cast a meaningful glance at Timothy. In truth, she still harbored. suspicions that Ginger might be somehow related to Mia.
Caleb hesitated momentarily before responding. “To be honest, it’s uncertain at this point. Let’s discuss it after the auction,” Glancing at Luna. Timothy instructed, “Make sure she doesn’t wander off.” “Don’t worry, Tim, I’ll keep a close eye on her,” Luna reassured.
Standing by the doorway, Luna observed Timothy and Caleb leaving, her smile vanishing instantly.
It Ginger was indeed Timothy’s daughter, what would become of her son?
Regardless, Luna was determined to uncover Ginger’s true background.
As Luna stepped into the hotel suite, she found Ginger seated on the sofa.
Luna greeted her with a smile. “Hello there, sweetheart. Can you tell me who your mommy is?” Ginger replied. “My mommy is Little Fairy.” Luna persisted, “No, I mean, what’s her name?” Ginger turned her head away, pouting. “You’re mean!” Luna struggled to maintain her composure, but seeing the presence of the bodyguard, Joe Hart, she had to keep herself in check.
“Sweetie, I’m asking for her name so we can find your family. You can’t keep relying on others. Asking for your mommy’s name doesn’t make me a bad person, does it?” While depending on Caleb might not have been an issue, relying on Timothy was out of the question.
Undoubtedly, Ginger’s appearance was causing quite a stir.
“My mommy said asking other kids‘ names randomly is impolite. Only human traffickers do that,” Ginger retorted sharply.
Luna was taken aback by her response. It seemed Ginger was quite quick–witted.
Observing the Apple watch being charged, Luna inquired, “Does your watch have your mommy’s contact information?” Ginger instinctively tightened her grip on the watch, looking at her warily.
Nonetheless, Luna immediately saw through her hesitation and reached out to take the Apple watch. “Let me contact your mother to come pick you up.” And perhaps, in the process, uncover the true identity of Ginger’s mother!
“No, give me back my Apple watch, you mean lady!” As Luna took hold of the Apple watch, Ginger tried to snatch it back. In the struggle, the watch slipped from their hands and fell directly into a cup on the coffee table..
Luna frowned in response. “This isn’t my fault. You were the one trying to grab it, which caused it to fall into the water.” “Mean lady!” Tears filled Ginger’s eyes as she tried to retrieve the Apple watch from the cup. However, the screen was now completely black and wouldn’t turn on.
Luna immediately shifted the blame. “Aren’t Apple watches usually waterproof? Why would yours be so fragile?” Ginger swiftly turned and retrieved something from her small backpack, then sprayed it toward Luna’s eyes.
Almost immediately, Luna’s eyes began to tear up, and she struggled to keep them open.
Ginger brandished her weapon and began firing at Luna, causing sharp pains throughout her body. In her frantic attempts to evade the shots, Luna unintentionally stepped on a mousetrap.
Luna let out a scream as she collapsed to the ground. She urgently called for Joe, who was standing nearby, “Quick, come over here and restrain Ginger! Did you see what she just did?” Joe hesitated momentarily. After all, his instructions were solely to protect Ginger.
Eventually, Ginger lowered her weapon and wiped away her tears with her chubby hand.
With a charming demeanor, Ginger approached Joe and spoke in a sweet voice, “Mr. Joe, I need to find Tim.” “Um, Mr. Barrett is currently occupied, so you won’t be able to see him. Would you like me to contact him for you?” I Ginger retrieved her Apple watch. “I need to have it repaired, or I won’t be able to contact my mommy.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 630-Seeing Ginger’s tears, Joe eventually relented. “Alright, I’ll bring you out to see if we can find a place to fix it.” With that, they exited the suite together.
Luna was left alone as she lay on the ground, disheveled and fuming with anger. Could Ginger be a devil In dẞquise?
Throughout the entire night, Mia anxiously waited, her eyes barely able to close.
Every 30 minutes, she attempted to call Ginger, but her phone remained off, leaving Mia unable to reach her.
With dark circles under her eyes, Mia turned to Wade. “Any updates?” “Ms. Mia, the surveillance footage from Xanier Island Grand Hotel for yesterday has been erased. They claimed it was an accident and wasn’t backed up, but it seems highly suspicious.
“Since Ms. Ginger arrived at the hotel yesterday, having that footage could assist us in tracking her movements.” Mia rubbed her temples before closing her laptop. Despite her efforts to restore yesterday’s surveillance footage, the individuals on Xanier Island appeared to have taken precautions, hindering her attempts.
Besides, Ginger was only four years old. If she did manage to reach the hotel, where could she have possibly wandered off to?
Suppressing her frustration, Mia instructed, “Search the hotel thoroughly, room by room. I refuse to believe we can’t locate one child.
“Also, send someone to probe the black market on Xanier Island to investigate any potential human trafficking activities.” Certainly, Xanier Island was a realm where anything could happen, bustling with a myriad of individuals.
Wade interjected with an update, “Our sources uncovered the reason behind the surveillance deletion. It appears that Mr. Kimmel’s sister, Lena, has taken an interest in a new man.
“However, when the man’s illegitimate daughter arrived, Lena had the child taken away. To cover their tracks, they wiped the surveillance footage.” An illegitimate daughter seeking her father?
Mia’s unease deepened as she recalled something. “Is that man named Caleb?” Wade was taken aback. “Ms. Mia, how do you know about Caleb?” Could it be that Mia’s memory had returned?
“Answer my question first. Is the man named Caleb?” “Yes.” Mia paused briefly before continuing. “It all adds up. Dominic and the others have always kept me away from Bern City and withheld details about Ginger’s biological father.
“I happened to overhear Claude mentioning Caleb, so it’s very likely that Caleb is Ginger’s father.” Wade was stunned. “Ms. Mia, are you sure you’re not mistaken?” “I heard it crystal clear–his name was Caleb. I didn’t anticipate Ginger remembering his name as well.
She must have come to Xanier Island to find Caleb. Damn it! Is Caleb also here on Xanier Island?” Mia’s gaze narrowed, a chill emanating from her eyes. “Take me to find Caleb and that bitch!” “They’re both at the casino on the basement floor!” Mia sneered, “Well, it seems they’re both asking for trouble!” With a cold expression, Mia left the room, an aura of menace surrounding her. Upon reaching the basement floor, she swiftly began scouring the area for her targets, her demeanor resolute.
She wore a purple camisole, paired with a matching loose coat casually draped over her shoulders and the sash loosely tied around her waist. The ensemble accentuated her slender figure while maintaining a sense of modesty.
As soon as she arrived, a man was instantly captivated and approached her. “Miss, are you here by yourself?” Ignoring his advances, Mia continued walking. Her gaze fell upon Lena, who was working as a glamorous dealer, flirting with two men nearby.
One of the men seemed familiar. Wasn’t he the same person who tried to strike up a conversation with her in the lobby yesterday?
What a coincidence.
With a graceful stride in her high heels, Mia approached them, the sound of her footsteps echoing through the casino.
