Ch. 791..800

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 791-Mia stared at Luna, her eyes cold and dark.

Luna’s posture turned weak and cowardly immediately, but she didn’t back down from there. “Ms. Monalize, I forgave you although you slapped me yesterday. But this is a different matter. Tim hates it when people come to him for personal matters at work. Your best shot is to leave right now. Otherwise, you’ll be a laughing stock when you’re driven out of the building.” Luna had waited so long to finally strike Mia.

Actually, Luna wanted to tell Timothy that Mia had slapped her, but he didn’t want to see her. That was why she had no choice but to bear with the humiliation herself.

Luna’s sidekick, Avril Leonard, joined the fray. “I’ve met people like her over these years- gold diggers. They’re trying to be the main character of a rags–to–riches story,” he mocked.

Luna smirked. “I know, right? But people have to wake up to reality sometimes, and accept it. She has broken up with Tim, but she’s refusing to let him go.

Mia burst into a fit of laughter before looking at the receptionist. “Is this how this company runs?” The receptionist was put in a tight spot. “Sorry, but you can’t meet Mr. Barrett without an appointment. These are the rules. I hope you won’t make it difficult for us.” “Indeed, I don’t have an appointment with him, but I’ve never heard of a wife who has to make an appointment to see her husband.” “His wife? We haven’t heard of his marriage though.” The receptionist was baffled.

Mia added, “You might have not heard that, but I think you know that he’s divorced, don’t you? I’m his ex–wife. I need to see him.” Luna gasped. “That’s nonsense, Ms. Monalize. Don’t think of pretending to be his ex–wife just because you look like her.” The receptionist asked, “Miss, could you give him a call so that we can confirm your identity?” Mia’s patience was running thin.

She dialed his number, but he didn’t pick up!

1/2 Was he trying to make things difficult for her?

Mia put her phone down. Since he was going to make things difficult for her, she might as well go all out.

ny way.” “Since you keep stopping me when I’m trying to be nice, I might as well have it my Mia gave her bodyguards a look. “Make a way through. I don’t want to waste my time with them.” Despite being outnumbered, her four bodyguards were highly skilled in combat. It didn’t take them long to take those security guards down.

The tables were turned.

Luna shouted, “Call the cops! Someone’s intruding into our company!” Mia’s cold gaze zeroed in on Luna, who retreated backward like a coward.

However, Mia wasn’t in the state of mind to deal with Luna because there was something more important she had to do.

Mia took the elevator to the top floor.

Who would’ve expected a self–claimed ex–wife to barge into Barrett Group with bodyguards?

Mia exited the elevator and studied the busy employee in front of her. “Where’s Timothy Barrett? Call him out! I have to see him!”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 792-A secretary confronted Mia. “Miss, are you looking for Mr. Barrett? He’s in a meeting at the moment.” Staff from the secretarial department were smart. He could tell that the woman looked a lot like Timothy’s ex–wife.

During the past few years, many women have attempted to make Timothy owe them a favor in order to become Mrs. Barrett. However, none of those women have fared well in the end.

Not buying that, Mia marched forward and swung open the door to the presidential office.

Just as she had expected, Timothy was sitting right there. There were a few managerial–level employees on the couch too.

It seemed like a meeting was ongoing.

Silence filled the air.

She flared up at Timothy. “Very well, Timothy Barrett. I didn’t know you could be such a jerk!” Others in the room drew in sharp breaths. Where did this woman come from?

Why did she kick open the door and reproach Timothy?

One of them thought, “She’s dead meat. Mr. Barrett is not the type who gives women the leeway.” Timothy calmly responded, “What did I do?” “How dare you lay a finger on the bone marrow? Do you call yourself a man? That’s the key to saving my child! Your child too! Not even a beast would devour their offspring. I guess you stoop much lower than a beast,” Mia jabbered on.

The people who heard that were taken aback as they shared the same thought-“Who is she? She’s feisty!” Still, Timothy appeared rather calm. He instructed the others, “Give us a moment and close the door.” The managerial employees were stunned. Timothy wasn’t driving her out, but them? Has the world turned upside down?

Timothy stood up and walked to her. “I didn’t expect you to come all the way to Barrett Group to see me.” Next, she raised her hand and slapped him right across the cheek.

“Are you surprised?” Her voice was monotonous.

The managerial employees, who hadn’t left the office, were shocked.

Quickly, they lowered their heads and left the office, pretending to not see anything.

What if they were fired because they witnessed or heard something that they shouldn’t? That wouldn’t be good!

Their questions were left hanging–who was that daring woman?

To think that she dared to slap Timothy. Unbelievable!

Now, Timothy and Mia were alone.

His face remained emotionless as he caressed his cheek. “Mia Bowen, do you think I won’t do anything to you? You’ve slapped me again and again.” There was a limit to his patience.

Mia’s eyes were welling up, and her hands were trembling. “Timothy Barrett, I know that you’re angry because I lied to you. Let’s make a deal.” Dubious, he couldn’t follow her. “What deal?” “Your grandmother still needs a cluster of reishi mushrooms to recover, and I have exactly what you need.” Timothy’s expression turned serious upon hearing that. “What do you want from me in exchange?” “What else? Stop pretending already!” “Don’t beat around the bush.” She arched her brows. “Of course it’s your bone marrow. Give it back to me.”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 793-Timothy’s brows furrowed. “Are you saying that I stole the bone marrow? What are you talking about?” He thought Mia had left Bern City this morning, and yet she came to Barrett Group to interrogate him about the lost bone marrow?

“Timothy Barrett, stop pretending. It’s meaningless now. I’ll give you the reishi mushrooms you need in exchange for your bone marrow. You have nothing to lose from this.” “Mia Bowen, I don’t get it. When did I steal the bone marrow? Didn’t you send Ginger and the bone marrow to Nord City? Why are you asking for the bone marrow from me?” Her actions struck him as preposterous.

Mia looked visibly confused as she asked, “What do you mean by that? Were you not the one who stole the bone marrow?” If it wasn’t him, who else could it be?

“Mia Bowen, although I’m angry that you lied to me, I will never take the kid’s health lightly.” Judging from her anxious looks, he realized that she wasn’t joking.

He asked seriously, “What happened? Is the bone marrow missing?” She nodded. “Yes, it’s missing. The hospital should’ve received it this afternoon and began the treatment. But the container was empty.” “Empty? Did they lose it while it was delivered? Or did someone steal it?” have gotten “That shouldn’t be. It was delivered through a private jet. Strangers shou anywhere near it. I rushed to the hospital first thing. The doctor in charge told me that he did place the bone marrow in the container. We don’t know why it’s empty now.” She continued, “Other than you, who else has the authority to steal it without anyone’s knowledge?” Mia grew more frantic as each second passed.

“Calm down, Mia!” “I can’t! That’s my child we’re talking about! Your bone marrow could save my child’s life! Timothy, I know that you’re angry about me lying to you. I apologize, I’m sorry. As long as you return it to me, I am willing to do anything.” She was reaching her breaking point.

Sage was already waiting in the vacuum chamber.

If she couldn’t deliver the bone marrow in time, there was only one ending awaiting him— death.

1/2 And she could never accept that!

Holding Mia’s shoulders, Timothy promised, “I’ll ask someone to look into this immediately. Calm down. If someone stole it away, they surely would have left some traces behind. This is Bern City. There’s nothing that I can’t find out.” Hearing that, she finally managed to calm down a little.

She inhaled deeply. “My men are requesting surveillance footage from the hospital. But who else could it be if it wasn’t you? Why would someone steal a useless bone marrow?” Bone marrow wasn’t worth much money. Besides, only the person with the matching bone marrow would need it.

The average person wouldn’t steal it without any solid reason! 1 Strange.

Mia suddenly thought of something and said, “Could it be your mother?” If it wasn’t Timothy, the only other suspect would be Sharon.

Timothy had the same guess. “That’s possible. But there’s no reason for her to do this. I’ve donated the bone marrow today. No matter what she does, it’s already over.”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 794-Mia paced back and forth, frustration painting her expression.

She knew that Sharon didn’t have a reason to steal the bone marrow. It was true that Sharon didn’t wish for Timothy to undergo the surgery of donating his bone marrow.

However, the surgery was done and Mia had kept up her end of the promise and broken up with him in front of Sharon.

Mia did as Sharon requested. Thus, Sharon had no solid reasons to steal the bone marrow.

Soon, Mia and Timothy received a phone call at the same time.

Someone informed her, “Based on the surveillance footage, two people entered the room that stored the bone marrow. I’ve asked someone to look for them.” She said sternly, “Send every man we have. I don’t care how much money it’ll take, just find them!” On the other hand, Timothy hung up the call. He didn’t look great.

He gazed at her guiltily. “I’m sorry, I think this might have something to do with my mother. One of the people that entered the office was her doctor. But I promise I’ll retrieve the bone marrow back for you.“, “Call your mother now. Ask her where it is. As long as I can get the bone marrow back, I’ll pretend that none of this has happened. I can agree to any of her conditions.” He pursed his lips. “I’ll ask her to apologize to you. What she did was wrong.” “I don’t need an apology from her. As I said, I will pretend none of this happened as long as I can get the bone marrow. Can’t you hear me? Finding the bone marrow is our priority right now. The kid is already in the vacuum chamber. We can’t wait any longer!” Mia was almost losing it.

Timothy frowned. “In the vacuum chamber? That soon?” According to his knowledge, Ginger had just returned to Nord City. How could she be in a vacuum chamber that soon?

Mia froze as she realized she made a slip of the tongue due to anxiety.

Quickly, she explained, “We’ve already made preparations to place her in the vacuum chamber a long time ago.

there, and we don’t have much time to waste. If she asks me She’s what’s going on, how am I supposed to answer her?” “Got it. I’ll call my mother right now,” Timothy said without hesitation as he fished out his phone.

Mla observed him. After making sure he didn’t realize her mistake, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Timothy dialed Sharon, but no one picked up the call.

Frowning, he called the landline at home.

Kaleb answered the call, “Mrs. Barrett went on a trip today. She’ll be back in a few days” Timothy hung up the call and instructed Heath, “I don’t care if my mother’s on a trip, find her and bring her back.” Mia was baffled. “She’s on a trip? Why a trip now? You’ve been discharged from the hospital only this morning. Why would she go on a trip before you fully recover? She was so concerned about you.” With that information, Mia was confident that Sharon was involved in this.

Timothy calmed her down. “Let’s go to the hospital now. If things don’t go well, I can donate for the second time. It’s no big deal.” His remark took her by surprise.

Having mixed feelings, she said, “Then, I’ll ask someone to bring over the reishi mushrooms.” “Mia Bowen, do you think I’m doing this for those reishi mushrooms?” Sometimes, he wished he could pry open her head to see what was on her mind.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 795-“Enough, now’s not the time for that. I was going to give you the reishi mushrooms after I return to Nord City anyway.” Mia intentionally avoided his question. She wasn’t in the right state of mind to process that.

Timothy loosened his tie. Knowing that it was an untimely moment to talk about that, he said, “Let’s go to the hospital.” Mia followed him out of the office silently. She realized that many people were watching her.

Perhaps, news of her slapping Timothy had spread within the company.

She pretended not to notice anything. After all, she wasn’t the one who was slapped.

Timothy wore a stoic expression, completely unbothered by the curious stares.

The duo waited in front of the personal elevator.

The opposite elevator door opened and Luna walked out of it. “Tim, this woman suddenly barged into the building. I already told her that you don’t like to be bothered by outsiders at work.” Timothy responded coldly, “She’s not an outsider to me.” That earned Mia’s attention as she looked at him, flustered.

Luna couldn’t mask her feelings upon hearing that. She just couldn’t understand why Timothy, a man of principle, would treat this woman so well. Was it because of her looks that resembled his ex–wife?

Mia and Timothy entered the personal elevator. Luna stood outside, watching them with hatred in her eyes.

Timothy looked at Luna, his tone indifferent. “This is the top floor. According to the company rule, you don’t have the authority to come here. Hand in your resignation letter to HR immediately.” In the face of embarrassment, she didn’t have enough control to manage her expression anymore.

She barked, “But according to the rules, she’s an intruder as well! She even hurt the security guards! Why aren’t you holding her responsible?” “Because she’s my wife!” Timothy shot back.

1/2 Mia chuckled. “So, you’re just an average employee here, and a busybody one at that. Instead of thinking about how to become a mistress, why don’t you spend more time honing your working skills?” The elevator door closed as soon as she finished.

Luna stood there all alone, almost losing her sanity to fury.

But a smirk played on her lips. She knew why Mia was so eager to see Timothy.

Luna would be waiting for Mia to beg for mercy on her knees.

As an afterthought, she took her phone out. “Mrs. Barrett, I think the woman knows what happened to the bone marrow. She’s looking for you everywhere.” “I know. I’ll keep myself under the radar so that they can’t find me. Luckily, I had Plan B. Otherwise, she would’ve gotten ahead of me. I’ll make her learn her lesson the hard way this time.” “That’s right, Mrs. Barrett. You have to show them who’s in charge. Tell her who will wield the most power in the Barrett family in the future.” 1 Luna terminated the call. She felt much better after talking to Sharon.

Although she was just a mere employee in Barrett Group, she wasn’t the least bit worried because Barrett Group would belong to her son in the future.

When that happened, no one would look down upon her anymore!

Mia and Timothy left Barrett Group together, rushing to the hospital.

Both of them were silent throughout the journey.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 796-Mia’s phone suddenly rang. With her heart in her throat, she looked at the caller’s ID. It was Nicholas calling.

Worried that something happened to Sage, she turned sideways and answered the call. ” Hello?” “How’s it going?” “We have new leads. I’ll settle it as soon as possible.” “He knows it already,” Nicholas blurted out.

She bit her lip, her heart wretched upon hearing that. “Calm the kid down. I’ll bring the bone marrow back, don’t worry.” She hung up the call and felt Timothy’s gaze on her.

In the end, he couldn’t help but voice out his curiosity, “Someone’s looking for you?” He didn’t hear the conversation clearly, but he could discern that it was a male voice.

She turned to face him. “My fiancé, Nicholas. His team is in charge of the treatment.” “I thought he was a gynecologist, no?” Timothy distinctly remembered that the Lanes had chosen a gynecologist fiancé for her.

Calmly, Mia replied, “As I said, it’s his medical team.” “What can a gynecologist do about this? It’d be better if you bring the child over here.” “Nick is the godfather. He will do everything in his power to help my child.” The way she addressed Nicholas made Timothy frown. They sounded close.

The conversation stopped, and an awkwardness hung in the air.

When they reached the hospital, they met the doctor in charge first to ask if there were other possibilities.

“Generally, a person is allowed to donate their bone marrow once in their whole life. It’s difficult to be a match again for the second time. Even if the same people have the matching bone marrow again, the donor can’t donate immediately after the first surgery.” The doctor delivered some rather bad news.

Timothy frowned. “I’m perfectly fine and healthy. I can donate my bone marrow again immediately.” “Still, Mr. Barrett, we can’t take blood from you right now. There’s nothing we can do,” the doctor said.

Mia slumped her shoulders in disappointment. “Which means we have to find the bone marrow donated yesterday, right?” “You’re right. Thankfully, the ldd isn’t in the vacuum chamber yet, I think we still have time to look for another matching bone marrow,” Mia broke down. “No, we don’t have time. The child is already in the vacuum chamber!” Early preparations were made for a long time and Sage was already waiting in the vacuum chamber!

If the plan had gone well, the treatment would have begun, However, the container was received without the bone marrow. Someone stole it away!

Timothy held her wrist. “I’ll ask them to look for another matching bone marrow. We can find a match as soon as possible.” “Do you think we don’t have the money and men to do that? We searched for so long, but it was in vain! Instead of wasting time on this, why don’t you send more men to look for your mother? Ask her, where is the bone marrow!” Mia was at her wit’s end.

“In case something bad happens, tell them to put everything on hold on Ginger’s side.” “They can’t. It has already begun.”

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 797-Mia's eyes were welling up with tears.

Timothy couldn't understand her. "I just don't get it. You knew the bone marrow was missing this morning, but why did you proceed with Ginger's surgery so soon?"

Only then did Mia calm down. A slip of the tongue would give the game away. She had to stay calm. Now that Sage was in the vacuum chamber, Timothy's bone marrow from yesterday was the only way to save Sage.

Determination recentered the focus in her eyes. She had to find that bone marrow!

She explained, "The doctor made a mistake. They didn't check the container when they received it." Timothy disapproved, “Fools. You shouldn't have sent Ginger back to Nord City."

Mia quipped, "If it wasn't for your mother, none of this would have happened! It's all because of your mother!” Heath came up to them. "Our men headed to the place Mrs. Barrett went, but they couldn't find her. According to them, she didn't go there at all.” In other words, Sharon lied.

Timothy's face fell. "And what are you standing here for? Get our men and look for her! If she didn't go on a trip, she must be hiding somewhere. I'm sure she hasn't left Bern City."

Mia admonished, "Mark my words—the bone marrow you donated yesterday is the only thing that can save my child's life. If she can't give it back or if she destroyed it, she's a murderer. And I will never forgive her. I don't break promises. I will make sure she pays for it with her life!"

At that moment, her eyes flickered with malice.

Timothy stared at the woman before him, who seemed different from how she was four years ago. Mia was now Ms. Lane. She had everything, almost as much as the Barrett family had. On top of that, she had brothers who loved her a lot.

Timothy knew it wasn't a joke; it was a warning that could turn into reality.

He responded calmly, “Like you, I'd also like to find the bone marrow so that Ginger can be well again. Do you think I would hurt her? I'm her father!"

"But who would you choose between your child and your mother?"

"I won't let it transpire to that stage.” "You better keep your word." Mia turned and left the hospital.

Time was of the essence. She had to send some men to track Sharon down.

Timothy followed after her, concerned. "Where are you going?"

She looked back. "Home, of course. You better pray for your men to be faster than mine. I can't guarantee what will happen if I find her first."

She got into the car and slammed the door shut.

At that moment, she felt that Dominic was right—the Barretts were bastards. She should stay away from them.

Timothy wanted to get closer and say something but was stopped by her bodyguards.

Feeling helpless, he watched her car leave.

He loosened his tie and undid a few buttons while trying to calm himself down.

Never in his wildest dream had he expected things to go out of hand.

His very own mother had dug him his grave.

Heath couldn't help but pity Timothy. Winning Mia's heart back was difficult to begin with, and this matter had simply made it worse!

In the car, Mia received a call from Dominic. She went silent for a moment before answering the call. "Dominic."

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 798-"I know what happened to the bone marrow. I've sent out all the men we have. We should receive news soon," Dominic reassured Mia.

"Dominic, ask someone to keep an eye on Luna. I think she's involved in this."

Luna was always plotting against Mia. On top of that, she was the one who told Sharon that Timothy would donate his bone marrow.

Mia reckoned that Luna did something else too.

Not long after, Mia received a message from the bodyguard who was in charge of monitoring Luna. "Luna didn't go home after work. She went to a villa."

He stayed on watch for a while, but he couldn't find out who else was there.

Mia made up her mind. "Send some men over. Keep watching her. I'll make my way there.” Her hunch was telling her that Sharon was definitely there. She'd rather make a mistake than miss her chance to discover the truth.

So, Mia headed to the villa.

The bodyguard next to her asked, "Ms. Mia, should we inform Mr. Barrett?” She smirked. "Don’t inform him for now."

Because she didn't trust him. After all, Sharon was his mother.

Half an hour later, Mia's car arrived.

The bodyguard in charge of the surveillance came over to report, “Luna hasn't come out yet.” Without a moment of hesitation, she led the bodyguards and barged into the place.

Just as she had expected, Luna and Sharon were having a meal in the living room!

Mia was certain that they were behind this!

Mia marched forward menacingly. "Looks like you're enjoying the time of your life. Did something good happen? Would you mind sharing?"

Sharon gulped down her saliva, feeling guilty. "H-How did you find us?"

She thought this was a safe hiding spot! How did Mia find them so quickly?

Luna was equally surprised. She had acted as carefully as possible.

Luna thought they would be looking for Sharon, not herself. Yet, it turned out they were keeping an eye on her!

The plan was to throw Mia and Timothy off the scent!

Now that Mia had found her way here, Luna realized how careless she was. Mia was smarter than they thought!

Mia glared at Sharon. "That's none of your business. Give me the bone marrow!"

Sharon barked, "I have no idea what you're talking about. I thought you had it."

"Mrs. Barrett, if my memories serve me right, you were discharged from the hospital for a while now. You asked someone to steal the bone marrow, didn't you?"

"Enough. I did that because I was afraid you'd go against your promise after the deal. It's a backup plan just in case. I was right. You took the bone marrow away as soon as Tim donated it. How was I supposed to believe that you'd stay true to your promise?"

"So, are you admitting that you stole it?" Mia's expression remained stoic.

"So what if I admit it? That is my son's bone marrow. Do I not have the right to have it?"

"If you don't have a death wish, give it to me." Mia grabbed and smashed the wine bottle onto the table.

The plates on the table broke into pieces.

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 799-Mia was vexed. Dark clouds were hanging over her head.

Once she had confirmed that the duo orchestrated the theft, things would be easier for her. Surprised, Sharon shrieked, "You mad woman! W-What are you doing!"

"Want to live? Give me back the bone marrow!" Mia yelled.

Sharon gulped in fear. Mia somehow turned scary to her.

Luna stepped forward, shielding Sharon. The latter was touched by her protective side.

Contented with Sharon's reaction, Luna said, "Ms. Monalize, is this the way to speak to Mrs. Barrett? The bone marrow doesn't belong to you, it belongs to her son. Fix your attitude. If you have a favor to ask for, act accordingly.” Ego seeped into her voice. She knew that Mia would come begging for her one day!

Sharon became confident. "T-That's right!"

Mia casually picked up a piece of glass from the table, marching toward Sharon. "Tell me, how should I act?"

The aura she carried was strong and the depth of her eyes bore something dark and evil.

Sharon was so scared that she began stammering, "W-What are you trying to do? Back off! My son is Timothy Barrett! If you hurt me, he won't let you get away with it!"

Luna stood up for Sharon again, seizing the chance to impress her. "Ms. Monalize, Mrs. Barrett did that simply because she was afraid you might go back on your word. It turns out you're not a trustworthy person. If you want to have the bone marrow, apologize to her. Properly. Not by holding a weapon and threatening us like this!"

Sharon added boldly, "She's right. I just wanted you to keep your promise. Look at you now. Do you look like you're going to keep your promise? You're acting like a barbarian! I was right about taking away the bone marrow. Your daughter doesn't deserve Tim's bone marrow!"

Luna smirked. "Ms. Monalize, if you behave better, Mrs. Barrett might give it to you. Who knows?" Mia's gaze on them was brimming with fury. "What do you want me to do?"

"You were so fierce, and Mrs. Barrett was hurt because you smashed the wine bottle. So, why don't you get on your knees and apologize?" Luna was taking advantage of this.

Sharon nodded instantly. "Yes, if you get on your knees and apologize, I might give it a thought and forgive you this time."

Mia chuckled. "Do you think I'm offering a negotiation?” Next, she glanced at her bodyguards. "Tie them up!"

The bodyguards outside stormed over, tying Sharon and Luna up and pushing them onto the floor. Not even Sharon, who had been through so much in life, expected Mia to resort to physical tactics! Like a livestock, she was pressed to the floor with the dishes smearing her face.

Exasperated, she huffed, "How dare you do this to me! Tim's not going to let this slide! Don't think of taking the bone marrow back with you. I'd rather throw it away than give it to your daughter!"

Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen chapter 800-Luna, who was livid as well, celebrated inwardly when she heard what Sharon said.

That was exactly what Luna had hoped for.

"Still not admitting your defeat, huh?" Mia stomped on Sharon's hand, sending Sharon crying like a swine.

Luna gaped at that. She didn’t see that coming.

Still holding the shred of glass, Mia crouched in front of Sharon. "You lost the right to negotiate with me the moment I stepped into this house. As I said, my daughter means the world to me. But you guys just wouldn't listen. Since you have a death wish, I might as well do you a favor.” Pain drained the color from Sharon's face. "Tim… Tim will never forgive you!"

"Do you think he can do anything about it even if he comes?" Mia taunted.

Mia came fully prepared. No one could stop her when her son's life was at stake! No one!

Luna begged, "Let her go, Ms. Monalize. Just come at me. It's rude of you to hurt her. She's older than us, we should respect her!"

How righteous of her.

Mia turned to look at Luna. "Oh, you're here too. I almost forgot about you."

As soon as Mia said that, she slapped Luna hard. "Since you want to be tortured so badly, here you go."

Luna glared at Mia. "Tim will never forgive you for doing this to us!"

"Very well. I'll gladly take the chance to see how he'll react.” Mia kicked Luna, and the latter's features distorted in pain.

Luna didn't expect Mia to become so aggressive.

Hugging her stomach, Luna threatened, "We have surveillance cameras here. If you hit us, I'll call the cops!"

"Oh really? Thanks for the reminder.” Mia's bodyguards destroyed the surveillance cameras, as well as the memory cards.

Mia smirked. "Guess there's no evidence now."

Only then did fear register in Luna. After all, Luna had experienced firsthand the extent of Mia's wrath.

"We're living in a civilized society. If you torture us, the Barretts will never let you go!" Luna shouted. Mia bent over to rest the glass on Luna's face. "For the last time, where's the bone marrow?"

There was no doubt that Luna knew where the bone marrow was.

The cold sensation of the glass shard against Luna's skin made her skin crawl. Still, she braced herself by saying, "I don't know."

She was gambling with her safety.

Gambling that Mia wouldn't actually hurt her!

Mia's voice exploded in a fit of rage. "Still acting like you have nothing to do with this? How could you not know? Watch me. This is the aftermath of not answering it right when I'm being nice.” Mia exerted more strength to her hand until blood spluttered across her face.
