Meet My Brothers Chapter 55
A hint of mockery flashed in Mia's eyes as she looked at the order. She'd furnished every inch of the marital home with her heart, and a certain someone had disregarded it like it meant nothing. Now, they even wanted her to design a new home for her ex-husband and his first love!They'd crossed the line with this!It looked like they wouldn't let her off the hook; they were constantly trying to provoke her. Since backing down wouldn't resolve the problem, Mia would probably be better off facing them directly. As long as they weren't afraid of the consequences, what would she have to fear?Mia's eyes flashed coldly. She called the number indicated in the order. Heath's voice rang out awkwardly on the other end of the line. "Ahem. Mrs. Barrett.""You don't have to call me that now that we've signed the divorce papers. I'll cut to the chase—you guys are the ones behind that online order, right?"Heath nodded. "Yes.""I'll accept it, but I have a condition. I want to be paid tenfol

Mia kept a mental record of all the changes that had been made to the living room so that she had an idea of what to change. She would work on the draft at home.At this moment, someone rang the doorbell. Holly answered the door to see two women standing outside. "May I know who you're looking for?""Out of the way, you. I want to see the lady of the household.""Yeah, get out of our way. I'm your boss' mother-in-law!"Holly was shoved aside. She didn't have the chance to stop them from barging into the house. "What are you two doing? You can't come in!"Mia heard all of this from her seat on the couch. Her expression shifted as she turned to look at the women who'd barged into the villa. "What are you two doing here?"Her adoptive grandmother, Mildred Hort, felt the leather couch. "I didn't expect you to marry someone so well-off, Mia. If not for Jimmy's slip of the tongue, I wouldn't have any idea that your husband lived in such a huge villa!"Mary chimed in, "Didn't you tell

Before Mia could say anything, Mildred piped up sycophantically. "You must be Timothy. Honestly, Mia didn't even tell us about her marrying you. We didn't expect you to be so outstanding! This must be a blessing from the heavens."If Mia ever acts up or throws a tantrum, you can let me know. I'll teach her a lesson!"Mary smiled and added, "Yes, exactly. We're a family now, so we should help each other out whenever necessary."Timothy had long since looked into Mia's background. He knew she was an orphan but that a couple had adopted her. Despite that, she'd grown up with her aunt. That alone was enough to tell him that Mia's adoptive parents weren't exactly great people.He looked at Mary and Mildred coldly. "What do you guys want?"Mary's eyes lit up. "It's simple, really. The little bitch won a million dollars in prize money from that competition she participated in, yet she didn't bother asking whether we needed anything."Her brother's going to start dating soon. Who knows w

"Grandma!" Mia cut Mildred off as soon as Mildred brought up borrowing money. She looked away, too embarrassed to meet Timothy's eyes. Despite being rejected many times, Mildred was still shameless enough to ask for money."Grandma? You never see me as your grandmother. It's your younger brother we're talking about, and we shouldn't leave him high and dry." Mildred then turned to Timothy. "Will you help us, Timothy?"Mary nodded enthusiastically on the side too. Timothy was rich, which meant that she could live comfortably in the future. Timothy could lend them money so that they could purchase a house. Then, he could buy them a car. He might even be able to find her children a high-paying job!Mia's breath hitched. She had already agreed to divorce Timothy. If he lent her foster parents money, she would be no different from a gold digger. Mia looked at Mary and Mildred before speaking,"You heard it loud and clear just now. I wear the pants in this household. I have the fina
Meet My Brothers Chapter 59
Within seconds, Timothy felt that Mia had become a stranger to him. Mary sneered, "It's one of those relationships, you know? Guys love jumping in to protect the girls as long as they sweetly call them their "big brothers" in the coyest way possible."Several of Mia's "brothers" appeared and took the assets under Patricia's name. They even got into a fight. Mary was convinced that there was more to these "brothers' than met the eye.Timothy squinted, recalling the man who picked Mia up in his helicopter, and the mysterious man who paid the hospital ten years' worth of hospital bills. Timothy still couldn't identify those men until now. Could they be Mia's "brothers"?Not one to let Mary insult her brothers, Mia barked, "Holly, take them away. If they make a scene, ask the security to call the police.Mary scowled, "Mia, you're an ungrateful daughter. You ought to be slapped!" Mildred slumped to the ground, "Oh, Lord! What have I done to deserve this granddaughter of mine? She

Mia cast down her eyes and faked nonchalance. "Thank you." She saw no need to clarify the misunderstanding Timothy currently harbored.Mia's grateful response only fueled Timothy's rage. He pressed his lips and uttered, "Mia, behave now. Don't get all chummy with another man."Mia rebutted plainly, "But we're divorced.""As long as we haven't headed to the city council to finalize it, you remain married to me. You can't flirt with other men unless you don't love yourself.""Let's find a day and visit the city council then."Timothy tossed away his tie angrily. "So, you're doing this again. You know Laura doesn't want us to get a divorce. Is this a threat now?""I'm not trying to coerce you or something." Mia looked at Timothy and continued matter-of-factly, "We can finalize the divorce in secret. We don't have to tell Laura before she gets her surgery.""You think Laura is a fool?" Timothy grabbed Mia by her chin. "You want to divorce me this badly. Is it because you can't wait
Meet My Brothers Chapter 61
Mia raised her brow. "Laura wasn't saying that she would only get the surgery done once I was pregnant. She wants you to have a baby. You're not getting any younger, and you might be too old for it in the future.""Did you just call me old, Mia?""That's not the point, Mr. Barrett. If you want to persuade Laura to get the surgery done, you should knock someone up as soon as possible. Many women would love to carry your child. Sleep with a different woman every night, and one of them is bound to get pregnant."Timothy frowned. "What makes you think I'm someone like that?" Sleep with a different woman every night? Who did she think he was? "When push comes to shove, Maya is available. You two are a match made in heaven so of course, you should get married and build a family with her." Mia looked at Timothy defiantly.Mia's words did not make Timothy happy. Instead, it annoyed him further. He let go of Mia. "I want to build a family with my legal wife.""Then let's visit the ci

"Folic acid is a kind of prenatal vitamin."Prenatal vitamin? Timothy peered at the capsule bottle, and his expression darkened. Mia was taking prenatal vitamins? Was she planning to get pregnant? His phone buzzed all of a sudden, but Timothy couldn't take his eyes off the bottle of folic acid.Heath gave a gentle reminder. "Sir, it's from your mother."Timothy picked up the call. "Hey, Mom.""Timothy, I thought about it long and hard and I figured I should tell you this. Several days ago, I went to the hospital to visit an old friend. Guess who I saw?"Timothy continued tinkering with the bottle in his hand. "Cut to the chase, Mom.""I saw Mia meeting with a gynecologist. I think she wants to get pregnant. And with Laura's support on her side, she plans to stay in our family. You should be careful now. Don't get her pregnant or you can't divorce her.""What makes you think that I'm divorcing her?" Timothy's response surprised Sharon. "Didn't you say you were divorcing her
