Meet My Brothers

Chapter 190

Mia’s cutting remark rendered Mary and Bob speechless.

Meanwhile, Sharon’s pride took a hit. “It’s 100 thousand dollars, right? I can cough it up, but you have to quit

bothering my son. He’s about to tie the knot with a girl from a wealthy family–a perfect match.”

Swiftly, she penned a check and tossed it on the floor.

Mary snatched it up eagerly, greed written all over her face. “That’s mighty generous of you. You’re spot on

about Mia too–an orphan with no background. Ungrateful to her parents, too. It is great news that they’re

divorced.”

Sharon smirked. Mockery flickered in her eyes. “Take the money and get out of my sight.”

Fearing theft, Mary quickly stowed the check in her purse.

With haste, she turned and left, not sparing a word for Mia.

Mia took a deep breath. “I’ll repay you someday.”

Supporting her adoptive parents financially was never her plan. Sharon paying for it wasn’t either.

Sharon scoffed, “No need. That sum is a mere salon visit for me. It’s nothing. In fact, it’s worth it to rid myself

of a huge headache.

“You don’t have to pay me back. Do I have to remind you how much your pay is? Just keep an eye on your

family. Stop disturbing us. We’re worlds apart.”

Mia took her phone out to wire the money to Timothy, then glanced at Sharon. “I wired the money to Timothy.

Don’t worry, I won’t bother you again.”

“Why do you still have my son’s contact? What are you planning to do with it? Since you’re legally divorced.

there’s no need to keep in touch,” Sharon questioned.

In the face of her ex–mother–in–law’s request, Mia deleted Timothy’s contact. “Better now?” NôvelDrama.Org content.

“That’s more like it. Maya’s family, the Lanes, will be at the engagement ceremony this weekend. That’s the background my daughter–in–law should have.

“You know, you should know your place. When searching for a man, don’t think of hooking up with someone

out of your league. For example, don’t dream of snagging someone like that famous actor,” Sharon said with

condescension.

Mia’s expression hinted at mockery. “Snagging someone out of my league depends on my capability. If I could

marry Timothy, why not someone even better?”

The atmosphere tensed unexpectedly.

“Mr. Barrett, you’re back,” Holly greeted aloud.

Mia’s back stiffened momentarily. She glanced over her shoulder at him, his eyes holding a profound depth.

Her hands slightly curled into fists as she straightened her back. Showing timidity at this moment was the last thing on her mind.

Sharon stood up with a smile. “Tim, you’re back. You heard Mia, didn’t you? Marrying someone better? It’s hard to believe she doesn’t know her place. How can she have such ridiculous dreams? This is so amusing to

me.”

Timothy walked into the living room with an expressionless face, but the way he loosened his tie gave his

annoyance away.

Sharon continued, “Tim, Mia’s adoptive parents showed up and caused a scene. They claimed she made decisions in this household and handled the finances. I had no idea she was feeding them empty boasts. How

hilarious!”

He responded passively, “I did mention that.”

Stiffness struck her body. The surprise caught her off–guard, and she couldn’t utter a word.

She refused to believe Timothy said those words himself.
