Ch. 641..650
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 641-Mia showed her phone to the married couple.
The wife obviously realized something and the man charged forward to snatch the phone away.
Mia managed to dodge his advance by moving her phone away. “What’s with the sudden aggressiveness? I’m showing this to your wife.” The humiliation morphed into a ball of fury. Pointing at Mia’s nose, he barked, “Stop driving a wedge between us or you’ll never get away with this!” Timothy pulled the man’s finger backward, making him cry for help. “Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! It hurts! Let me go!” In the meantime, Mia played the footage for the middle–aged woman. “Here’s the truth.” From the footage, she could see her husband entering the store with another lady holding hands to purchase a bracelet.
It was the exact same design as hers!
Mia recounted. “Your husband bought it from Martiana, but he gifted it to the mistress. Since you might smell the rat from his large expenses, he gave you a fake one to cover his deeds.” Realizing the truth, the middle–aged woman began throwing punches at her husband. “Explain to me this instant! Who’s that vixen in the footage!” “Stop hitting me, you feisty bitch! You’re too dominating! That’s why I looked for another person!” “I’m gonna send you to hell, jerk!” A scene broke out.
Their chubby son said anxiously, “I want the prize!” To his dismay, neither the adults were in the state of mind to bother him, so he confronted Ginger head- on. “Give me that or I’ll punch you in the face!” Frightened, she retreated instinctively. “This is mine!” “You only have a mother. You don’t have a father! You don’t deserve to be the first place!” Her eyes reddened at that and the prize slipped through her arms.
Timothy picked up the item from the ground, dusting it off. His cold eyes fixed on the chubby boy. “Who says she doesn’t have a father?” Ginger’s eyes lit as she quickly called, “Daddy!” That completely caught him off–guard. His widened eyes looked at her.
In fact, he didn’t mean it that way since Caleb was there too. He didn’t expect Ginger to call him Daddy!
Still stunned by that, he gulped down his saliva. It seemed like he didn’t dislike it either. After collecting himself, he crouched to return the prize to her.
Meanwhile, Mia straight–up went to the boy and said in an undertone. “Soon, you’ll become a parentless. child too. Your father will abandon you to have children with his mistress.” He bawled his eyes out almost instantly.
She didn’t think that she crossed the line. The boy was obviously spoiled.
He deserved this for what he had said to Ginger!
After teaching the boy a lesson, Mia turned around only to see Timothy crouching in front of a smiling Ginger.
Mixed feelings churned in her stomach.
The sheer thought of Ginger coming to Xanier Island without her knowledge broke Mia’s heart.
Although Ginger grew up with all the love she could get from her six uncles back at home, Mia forgot about Ginger’s yearning for paternal love.
After all, her friends had a father but not her.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 642-Maybe it was time for Mia to talk to Ginger about this issue.
Mia strode to Ginger’s side. Ginger won so many prizes that they couldn’t fit in her bag. Mia sighed, “Do you like them that much?” It wasn’t like Ginger didn’t have toys at home.
“Yeah! I can only have this by joining the event!” Ginger shook a box.
It piqued Mia’s curiosity. “What’s in there?” “A smartwatch!” The mention of the gadget reminded Mia of something. She gave Ginger a solemn look. “Why didn’t you pick up the call? I called you. You even turned off your watch after that. Do you know how worried I was?” Ginger dipped her head low. “It fell in the water. Mr. Bodyguard said that it’ll work only when it’s dry again.
Timothy asked, “Is the prize a smartwatch?” “Bingo!” Her hands quickly fiddled open the box and she proffered it to him. “This is for you. You’re nice!” “For me?” he reconfirmed, flabbergasted.
“Yes! Mr. Bodyguard told me that my smartwatch was fine. Mom would definitely find me, so I wanted to give you a gift.” She took out the smartwatch. “It’s a match with mine!” Timothy grinned at the pink smartwatch, not expecting her to jump through hoops to get a gift for him.
The corner of Mia’s lips twitched the moment she saw the pink gadget. “Ginger, don’t you think that pink is unsuitable for him?” “But this is the only color.” Ginger pouted.
“It’s fine.” He took it. “Thank you for the gift.” Ginger’s eyes lit up. “Do you want me to wear it for you?” This time, he was taken aback as he didn’t expect her to be this smooth. But he didn’t reject the offer.
Soon, there was a pink smartwatch around his wrist.
Things were getting confusing for Mia. His outfit alone was enough to tell that he was either a rich or a powerful man.
The pink smartwatch didn’t match his expensive suit at all, but he didn’t turn down Ginger’s unreasonable request.
Mia had mixed feelings.
All these years, there were men who tried to approach Mia by earning Ginger’s favor but none of the attempts succeeded.
It was rare to see Ginger to be this close to an unknown man.
Timothy stood up. In a low voice, he said, “Let’s go.” Mia held Ginger’s hand. “You’ll get it from me once we get home.” Ginger shrunk her neck, feeling guilty. Then, she sneakily slid her hand into Timothy’s. She walked between the adults. Her steps were light like that of a happy bunny.
Caleb, who had been waiting outside the amusement park, watched them approaching.
The three of them looked like a family.
That was why he didn’t go up to them when he found them. He was sensible enough to not be the third- wheeler.
When the trio reached the entrance, Mia saw Caleb. He was there, but the lazy bum didn’t enter to look for the kid.
Furious, she stepped forward and kicked him. “Do you think being a father is this easy?” Ginger snorted in disapproval as well. She obviously shared the same notion as her mother.
Hugging his foot, Caleb responded, “Miss, have we even met before?” He couldn’t wrap his head around the situation.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 643-Caleb wanted to clear up the misunderstanding. He couldn’t keep getting accused as a bastard, could he? He was innocent!
Mia sneered, “No, and we’ll never meet again in the future. Ginger, Let’s go.” “Okay, Mommy.” Before Ginger walked away, she stomped on Caleb’s foot with all her might.
His eyes widened. “Even you-” She snorted, “I don’t need you anymore, jerk!” The repercussions ahead for angering her were severe. Now, she had made up her mind to have a better father instead.
As an afterthought, she cast a backward look at Timothy. “Bye–bye, uncle!” Timothy smiled and hummed in response.
He watched them leave. If Mia hadn’t met an accident four years ago, would her child also be of this age?
To think that Ginger was four years old too. What a coincidence!
A wild guess fleeted across his head. He chased after them with huge strides. “Wait up!” Ginger turned her head with eyes blinking of curiosity.
Mia didn’t have a good impression of him, but he did help her look for Ginger after all so she managed her expression. “Anything I can help you with?” Timothy gazed at her. “What is your name?” She arched her brow.
Assuming that he wanted to know more about her, she brushed her hair to her back. “The name’s Little Fairy. Bye!” Then, she left while holding hands with Ginger.
The latter sneaked a peek across her shoulder to wave at him. She didn’t lie about her mother’s name.
+15 BONUS Things were getting confusing for Mia. His outfit alone was enough to tell that he was either a rich or a powerful man.

Caleb, who had been waiting outside the amusement park, watched them approaching.
The three of them looked like a family.
That was why he didn’t go up to them when he found them. He was sensible énough to not be the third- wheeler.
When the trio reached the entrance, Mia saw Caleb. He was there, but the lazy bum didn’t enter to look for the kid.
Furious, she stepped forward and kicked him. “Do you think being a father is this easy?” Ginger snorted in disapproval as well. She obviously shared the same notion as her mother.
Hugging his foot, Caleb responded, “Miss, have we even met before?” He couldn’t wrap his head around the situation.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 644-Caleb answered, “We found her and her mother took her back.” On top of that, both Monalize and Ginger had stomped his foot! He felt so wronged!
Luna gingerly caught a glimpse of Timothy’s expression before looking at Caleb. “Did the kid say anything?” “Are you afraid that she might say something?” Timothy interrogated.
“You’re misunderstanding me, Tim. We all know what they look like. I just want to confirm if that woman is truly Mia Bowen. That’s why I asked.” Her face was pallid.
She feared that Ginger might expose her, which would cause a misunderstanding between her and the men.
She could offer an explanation only after she figured out what happened.
Timothy replied indifferently, “Stay out of this.” “I’d like to do something as one of the Barretts. I want to find Mia as soon as possible and get to the bottom of Mrs. Barrett Senior’s incident.” “Leave!” He suddenly lost his temper, his eyes were steely.
That took her aback, as she didn’t expect the sheer mention of the incident would anger him.
Timothy had been acting out of character ever since he met the woman who resembled Mia.
Four years had passed and yet he couldn’t forget about her.
Caleb stood up to alleviate the mood. “It’s getting late, Luna. You should get back and rest up.” Upset, she bit her lip but still she left the room nevertheless.
Caleb gazed at the angry Timothy, his tone sounded helpless as he said, “Why are you angry? Didn’t you decide to stay to confirm whether that woman is Mia or not?” Timothy walked to the wine chiller and poured himself a glass of wine. He hadn’t been consuming alcohol because Ginger was around.
“Give me a glass of wine too, Tim.” “Do it yourself.” Timothy stood before the floor–to–ceiling window while holding a glass of wine.
The somber sky dawned upon the sea as the waves rolled. The surface was serene without any boats or ships.
Caleb walked up to him. “We still have time, Tim. I know Luna has put her foot in her mouth. I bet what happened to Mia that year wasn’t an accident.” Hearing that. Timothy downed his glass of wine in one go.
“The auction tonight is the main reason we came here. There’s no room for mistakes,” Caleb reminded.
Timothy’s fingers tightened around his wine glass. “I know.” “What the fuck? What are you wearing on your wrist, Tim? We’ve been friends for years and I didn’t know that you’re into this kind of thing!” Timothy dropped his gaze onto the pink smartwatch on his wrist, which reminded him of Ginger.
He smiled. “It’s a gift from your daughter.” “Although she’s not really my daughter, she gave you a gift but not me? I don’t get her.” Caleb was bitter about it.
“Whenever you can’t figure out something, it’s time to reflect on yourself.” “Personality–wise, I’m better than you, though.” Timothy caressed the smartwatch. He couldn’t put a finger on the strange feeling swelling in him.
At the same time, Mia was sitting on the couch in a different room.
Mia was listening to Ginger’s recount of her exploration. Ginger gesticulated to give Mia a better picture of it.
Her six brothers‘ faces were shown through the monitor.
When they heard that Ginger was found, they urged Mia to make a video call so that they could see Ginger.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 645-Mia stared at Ginger, who was found after going missing. The latter didn’t show a tinge of fear, Instead, she was all excited.
Helplessness seeped into Mia.
She thought her brothers would tell Ginger off during the video call, but to her dismay, her brothers were wreathing in smiles while babying Ginger.
Ginger flashed a sweet smile. “Uncle, don’t you think I’m super?” Dominic nodded proudly. “You are super! You took a ride on a helicopter at such a young age.
“Yup! Ginger’s the best!” “Ginger, you’ve been away for days. Do you miss me?” asked Connor.
Ginger nodded. “Yes, I miss you very much!” Her brisk tone melted his heart. He expected nothing less from his niece. She was overloaded with cuteness!
Sage, who was sitting next to Eva, asked Mia, “Is Xanier Island fun?” “It is, but it’s pouring here.” “Be careful.” A tinge of envy colored his eyes.
Noticing his disappointment, Mia promised, “I’ll take you here when the weather is good.” He nodded. “Okay, Mommy.” Due to the preterm labor, the twins were born weak, especially Sage. Mia was crestfallen for a while back then.
His body had been weak since he was born. His allergies could go on like a list, especially when it came to seafood.
That was why she didn’t dare to bring him to beaches. She feared that the salty scent from the seashore would give him a shock due to allergy.
The sensible Ginger read the room and waved her hand. “Sage, Uncle Dominic, Aunt Eva, Uncle Nathan, Uncle Connor Uncle Liam, bye–bye!” Mia then ended the video call, her mood was down.
Ginger came up to her and said in an undertone, “Mommy, I won’t run away without your permission anymore. I’m sorry.
“You always say you don’t want to travel far. Is it because Sage can’t travel far?” Mia didn’t expect the trip to Xanier Island could turn Ginger into a happy bunny.
Ginger was all jumping and dancing as though they had come to a utopia.
“Mommy, Sage can’t go anywhere. If I can go, but he can’t, he’ll be sad. I don’t want to make him sad.” Ginger was so understanding that it warmed Mia’s heart.
Mia hugged Ginger. She actually thought of teaching her daughter a lesson after the video call, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it now.
Right then, the butler showed up to serve them food.
“Hi, Grandpa Wade,” Ginger greeted politely.
“Hello, Ms. Ginger.” A wave of relief washed over Wade Miller when he finally saw that she was safe and sound.
If something happened to her, Xavier Island would’ve been turned upside down.
Ginger slid out of Mia’s embrace to scurry to the serving trolley. As if she had done it many times, she picked a dessert and went back to Mia again. “Mommy, have this. This is delicious.” “How do you know that?” Mia glanced at the dessert.
“Because I’ve eaten all of them before.” Ginger instantly covered her mouth. It was a slip of the tongue.
Mia narrowed her eyes. “Tell me, what is there that you haven’t told me?” “Mommy, that nice uncle called for room service.” “You mean Mr. Barrett?” “Yup. He brought me from the airport to the hotel.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 646-Mia was surprised to learn that Timothy wasn’t actually that spiteful, although he was friends with Caleb.
Still she couldn’t shake off the feeling that she had met him before. She just couldn’t remember.
“Mommy, when will my watch be fine?” Ginger took out the watch that fell into the cup.
The bodyguard ensured her that it would function again once the water dried out.
Mia took the watch. “How did you drop it into the cup?” “The bad lady wanted to steal my watch and it fell into the cup.” Ginger balled her fists angrily when she brought it up.
Mia knew that Ginger was referring to the pretentious lady right away.
She handed it to Wade. “Fix it.” Ginger’s eyes didn’t leave her watch for one second. She stood on her toes, requesting, “Grandpa Wade, could you make it quick?” “Don’t worry, Ms. Ginger. I’ll return it to you as soon as I have it fixed.” He walked away with it.
*Are you in a rush to use it? I never see you cherish it so much.” Mia sat behind Ginger to tie her messy hair into pigtails.
Ginger was happy with her new hairstyle. “B–Because I want to call that nice uncle.” “You like him that much?” Ginger beamed. “He’s nice! Mommy, can I change my father?” Ginger’s secret trip to Xanier Island was actually a search to look for Caleb, and Mia knew that.
The glint in Mia’s eyes dimmed. “Didn’t I say that it’s the same as having six uncles? Do you regret it?” Ginger pouted, “B–Because I’m curious. I don’t want that guy to become my father. I want that nice uncle to become my father.” Mia was amused. This was the first time Ginger took a liking to a man.
Smiling, Mia promised, “Okay. I’ll win his heart and make him your father.” As long as it was her daughter’s wish, she would do anything in her power to grant it because she owed too much.
At night, Timothy and Caleb entered the auction with a mask. All the guests were wearing masks because this was an illicit event.
There were a lot of underhanded items on the auction, so the masks could save them from trouble.
Timothy had a nice spot in the middle of the front row.
When he seated himself, a scrutinizing gaze caught his radar. He scanned the area but failed to notice anyone suspicious.
Everyone was wearing a mask, so it wasn’t easy to recognize the people there.
Suddenly, a woman in a white strap dress showed up in the crowd. Her sexy attire drew the attention of many.
Soon, she walked up to the men with a smile. “Can’t recognize me already?” Caleb recognized the voice. “Luna?” “Yeah, it’s me.” “You look good today,” Caleb complimented.
Despite that, he found it strange because she normally dressed conservatively.
Why the sudden revealing outfit?
Timothy neither gave a reaction nor a word.
At that moment, a commotion surged at the entrance.
A lady in a striking red cocktail dress made her way into the venue. The red garment struck a pleasant contrast with her fair skin.
Almost all of the men present had their eyes on the gorgeous lady.
Timothy’s eyes narrowed. 5 It was her.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 647-fTimothy recognized the woman in red at first glance.
Following that, another kid in a red cocktail dress showed up in pigtails, looking bright and cute.
Holding Ginger’s hand, Mia headed to a private lounge on the second floor. The view was better there and the rooms were catered for the regulars.
Timothy watched her vanish from his sight.
The surrounding men were still gushing about her figure and some of their words crossed the line.
Timothy’s swept his gaze in their direction. His gaze was so scary that it zipped their lips almost instantly. They didn’t say anything further.
Timothy withdrew his gaze. While staying in his seat, he eyed the private lounge on the second floor again.
Luna, who was sitting behind him, happened to notice his gaze. It irked her. Luna had an inkling of that woman’s background.
According to the sources, that woman was Monalize, a regular at Xanier Island.
She normally hung out with men. People had lost count of the number of men she hung out with.
Irritated, Luna looked at Caleb. “Caleb, I heard something about that woman when I was on my way here.
Do you want to know?” “Fancy me. What did you hear?” “She seems to be a regular at Xanier Island. This place is known for its male hosts. She selects different men for a company for every visit. She’s popular because she’s generous with money.” She sneaked a peek at Timothy to observe his expression, but the mask was covering his face.
Caleb asked, “That’s it? Nothing more? Nothing about her hometown or real name?” She replied slowly, “I haven’t heard anything about that, but I’ve heard that her personality is different from Mia Bowen’s. I don’t think she’s Mia Bowen.” Timothy finally piped up, but in a steely voice, “Mia Bowen, Mia Bowen. Can’t you address her respectfully?” Feeling wronged, she retorted, “Do I have to call her Mrs. Barrett? You’re divorced, though.” “Shut up! If you’re going to keep this up, you might as well return.” His patience was running thin.
Luna kept quiet despite the frustration boiling in her.
Caleb gave her a helpless look. “I told you not to stick your nose in it and not to ask questions. Forget it. Let’s focus on the auction.” Instead of fighting back, Luna let the conversation end. She couldn’t help but look at the second floor.
Was there something magical about that face? Why was Timothy attracted to Monalize despite her bad reputation?
The auction would commence at any moment now.
The curtains in the private lounge were drawn. Mia was on the couch overlooking the view on the first floor.
Her gaze landed in Caleb and Timothy’s direction.
Ginger tiptoed. “Mommy, is Mister here? Where is he?” “The middle seat on the third row, wearing a black and white mask.” “Oh, I saw him. Can I call him later?” Ginger showed her pink wristwatch, which was repaired.
Mia swirled a glass of champagne. “If you want to. I wonder what is he going to buy from here.” At that moment, Tanner knocked on the door and entered the room. “Ms. Lane, I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t know that she’s your daughter. Here’s an apology gift. I hope you’ll have a wonderful stay here.” He felt his life shaved off by ten years the moment he learned the news of Ginger going missing.
Fortunately, Ginger was safe and sound. Otherwise, the Lanes would’ve turned the whole island upside down.
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 648-Mia wore a solemn expression.
It seemed like Dominic had personally contacted Tanner after learning the news of the attempted kidnap.
Otherwise, Tanner wouldn’t offer an apology this quickly.
She merely spared a fleeting glance at the gold bars brought by Tanner.
She returned her attention to Ginger. “Anything you’d like for an apology gift?” “Can I request for anything?” Ginger asked.
Tanner quickly explained, “Yes, as long as I can afford it.” Tilting her head, Ginger gave it a serious thought. She raised the bidding number. “I want this.” He paused and gazed at Mia, unable to understand Ginger’s words.
Mia stroked Ginger’s hair. “If my daughter raises the number, could you give her the item?
“Not a problem.” A weight lifted off his chest.
The items on auction were worth more or less the same as the gold bars. If Ginger took a liking to something worthless, he wouldn’t lose anything!
He quickly left, and the room became silent.
“Mommy, why is that uncle so happy?” Ginger was curious.
“Because he thinks that it’s his win, but that won’t last for long.” Although Mia wouldn’t intervene in Ginger’s decision, the latter had high standards because she had seen a lot of things since she was young.
Mia looked at the guests on the first floor. “The auction is starting soon. You can buy anything you want.” The next thing she knew, Ginger shoved the bidding number into her hand.
“This is a gift from me to you, Mommy. You can buy anything you want!” Ginger declared proudly.
Feeling touched, Mia hugged Ginger and showered her with kisses. “There’s nothing that I 1/2 want. You can make any purchases as long as you like them. I’m not angry anymore!
How could she be angry when her daughter was this good at making her happy?
*15 BOWLS A tracker was inserted into Ginger’s watch so that Mia could know her whereabouts nend time. However, it was a secret from Ginger.
Soon, the auction started.
Caleb took an interest in a necklace and began bidding, His competitors backed down in no time.
When he thought that it was his win for sure, someone else raised their number. “60 thousand dollars.” “Okay, someone from the second floor is bidding it for 60 thousand dollars. Is there more?” He clenched his teeth. “65 thousand dollars.” “66 thousand dollars.” After calling her bid, she looked at Caleb, the “ex–husband” she frowned upon.
He knew that Monalize was doing this on purpose. He felt helpless. “Tim, she’s doing this on purpose, isn’t she?” “Well, anyone can tell.” Timothy shifted his gaze onto the second floor and happened to see a small head bobbing around behind the glass.
She wasn’t tall enough for him to see her, so he could only see her head.
டா In the end, the necklace Caleb liked belonged to Mia.
Still unable to accept his defeat, Caleb began to make a bid when the next necklace was auctioned.
As he had expected, Mia raised her number at the end again.
“And here begins my revenge arc.” He sounded a tad excited.
Timothy calmly commented, “Don’t play with fire.” “Don’t worry, I’ve never lost once in this game.” Caleb began to compete with her. When he was going to give up, she gave up first!
At the end of the day, he spent one million dollars on something he didn’t like. Timothy smirked, “Congratulations on your first loss in this game.”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 649-Caleb’s ego took a blow.
The question was–why was he the victim?
Caleb had nothing to do with Mia and Ginger. Only Mia, according to the men’s guess, might he something to do with Timothy.
Caleb’s frustrated expression lightened Mia’s mood.
Ginger tiptoed and witnessed how Mia taught her irresponsible “father” a lesson.
Nice job, Mommy! This shouldn’t be the end of it. There should be a part two!” she cheered.
“He’s not that stupid to take the bait twice.” Mia had no intention of fooling Caleb again either.
Caleb completely lost his mood. His spirits were low for the rest of the auction. Nothing seemed to pique his interest anymore.
Mia’s spending habit provoked jealousy in Luna. Compared to Mia, who could spend as much as millions so easily, Luna couldn’t even spend 100 thousand dollars at the auction.
Luna spoke to Caleb, who was sitting in front of her, “Caleb, why don’t you clear things up with the lady on the second floor? What if she keeps picking on you? That won’t do.” “You think I haven’t done that yet? It’ll only work if she believes me!” “Why does she think that you’re the father of the kid?” She couldn’t figure out the answer to the question.
He sighed, “Who knows? I’ll ask her again after the auction.” He could never take the blame for anything. If Ginger was really his daughter, he would surely take responsibility.
The official auction ended. Now, it was time for the additional items for the second round auction From the second floor, Mia scanned the additional items for bidding. Her eyes fixated on the reishi mushrooms. “That’s up for bidding too? No wonder so many people stay after the official auction.” The second round was generally a private auction, in which the host wouldn’t be responsible 1/3 for any shams found.
Therefore, fewer people would join the second round.
Mia looked at the two men on the first floor. They hadn’t left.
Were they coming after the reishi mushrooms as well?
Ginger climbed onto a stool to take a view of the first floor. “Mommy, Mister hasn’t gone “Yup. The auction is ending, Ginger. If you don’t have anything to buy, you’ll waste your apology gift.” Even if Ginger were to buy shams, Mia wanted Thanner to suffer a huge loss.
“But I haven’t seen anything that I like.” Mia suggested, “Buy the most expensive one then.” Then, the second round began.
Not many people competed for the first few items. When the reishi mushrooms were taken onstage, many people began to pay attention.
The auctioneer introduced the item, “These are precious reishi mushrooms. The initial bid price is one million dollars.” “1.5 million dollars.” “Two million dollars.” The bidding soon reached up to a staggering five million dollars.
Right then, Timothy raised his number. “10 million dollars.” The bid price stunned everyone.
That was two times the previous bid price! It was mind–blowing to see someone bid such a high price.
Mia was amused when he bid that much. “He really came here for the reishi mushrooms.” “Mommy, is his family sick?” “I’m sure, but that is possible.” People mostly purchased rreishi mushrooms to treat an illness.
2/3 Ginger frowned, “Mommy, this seems to be the most expensive item. But should I compete with Mister?
Mia looked at her daughter. An idea flashed across her mind. “Ginger, do you know how you can leave a deep impression on him?”
Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 650-The naïve Ginger shook her head.
Mia smiled. “Steal the thing he wants and he’ll remember you forever.” “B–But-” No buts. You’re going to give him the reishi mushrooms as a present anyway. It’s the same. He’ll be able to save ten million dollars too! Isn’t that great?” Ginger thought that Mia had a point and so she quickly raised her number to be noticed by the auctioneer.
The auctioneer saw the special number and knocked down the hammer. “Sold! Congratulations to the guest on the second floor. The reishi mushrooms are yours.” A tumult broke out.
Furious, Caleb sprang to his feet. “What’s going on? I thought the bidders have to bid a price and three chances are given to others before the bid ends, no? You knocked down the hammer way too fast. This is not fair!” People are joining in the protest. “It is indeed unfair.” Timothy looked at the second floor, his eyes met Mia’s. She was propping her chin while smirking triumphantly.
His expression was gloomy as he began to think about what was she up to.
Luna stood up too. “Can the guest on the second floor pay ten million dollars?” She didn’t believe that Monalize had that much money.
Ten million dollars was an astronomical figure!
The auctioneer mocked, “Miss, the guest on the second floor is our VVIP on Xanier Island. Of course, she can pay that much.” The mockery made her feel awkward as she sat down stiffly. Her hands clutched onto her dress.
With a wounded pride, she couldn’t suppress the jealousy in her anymore. Was Monalize really that rich?
The reishi mushrooms could treat Laura and wake her up. When that happened, Luna 1/2 +15 BONUS wouldn’t be able to cover the things she did anymore!
The protest was in vain. Caleb looked at Timothy, “What should we do?” They thought that things were going smoothly, yet Ginger got in their way. How unlucky!
Timothy reciprocated solemnly, “Think of something else.” “Tim, that woman must be targeting me. I’ll explain to her later. I will help you get the reishi mushrooms back no matter what it takes,” promised Caleb.
He figured that that was the reason behind Monalize’s intervention. Otherwise, why would she suddenly cause them trouble?
Except for the necklace and the reishi mushrooms, she didn’t purchase anything from the auction today.
It was obvious that she was picking on them.
“Let’s go.” Timothy rose from his seat.
Since someone else had purchased the reishi mushrooms, there was no need to stay here anymore.
Caleb quickly said, “Let’s head to the second floor and talk to them.” Timothy shared the same notion.
Nevertheless, it was fortunate that the winning bidder was Monalize and Ginger. The men still had a chance to get the reishi mushrooms.
Luna watched their backs. Gritting her teeth, she followed them too.
Just what was she plotting? Luna wanted to know.
By the time they reached the second floor, however, the private lounge was empty.
Caleb huffed, “Fuck! They’re gone! They knew that we were coming.” Timothy overlooked the first floor, his eyes were dark.
Soon enough, the sound of high heels clicking could be heard from the end of the corridor.
Mia, holding Ginger’s hand, came up to them. Mia arched her eyebrow at them. “What a coincidence.”
