Meet My Brothers のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 491 - チャプター 500

Trepidation trapped Maya as soon as she heard the news. Something was going on without her knowledge.She glanced at Blake. "Why did Dominic and the others suddenly want to build an exhibition hall for the Design School? It'll cost an arm and a leg, won't it?""I heard that the proposed investment is one million dollars.""One million dollars? That's a huge sum of money!" Her fingers clutched onto the hat tightly. "Do you know the reason behind this?""No, not for now. But I think it has something to do with the Fleur International Design Competition. Mr. Dominic's construction company puts a lot of importance on design. They've just established a new subsidiary in Bern City. I bet this is a plan for a business expansion. They're looking out for talented designers."Maya gave it a thought. Blake's analysis made sense. It hadn't been long since Dominic's subsidiary company was established in Bern City. Besides, he had also built exhibition halls in universities back in Nord City.

Hearing that, Mia turned to look at the door. Timothy was there!She froze, not expecting him to be here as well.His eyes were deep and she couldn't read his emotions.Slowly, he walked into the room with his coat draping his shoulder. Since he was wearing his suit, it seemed like he had just come from work. Laura spared him a glance. "Why aren't you answering? I asked you a question."Mia dropped her gaze as she didn't have the nerve to look at his expression. A weight hung in the air. Still, wasn't this what they had come to compromise in the end?"Mia, come outside with me for a moment."Before she could react, he pulled her out of the room by the wrist.She scurried because she couldn't keep up with his large strides. "Timothy, what is it?"Timothy stopped and turned. "Have you never thought that the truth would be too much for her to take in? What if she had fainted? She has yet to be discharged!""But didn't we agree that I'll be the one to tell her the truth a few

Mia quickly interjected, "I don't want anything, Grandma.""Mia, oh, Mia. People always get as much money as they can from it when it comes to divorce. How could you not want anything? What do you take us for?""Grandma, I married Timothy not because of money anyway. Plus, my family is financially stable. I don't need money. You don't have to worry about it."Timothy added, "Grandma, I gave her property, but she didn't want them."Mia nodded honestly. "Yes, he's right."Laura waved her hand. "I'll make the call for this. I'll make another arrangement for the property settlement. I'll contact the lawyer later to bring over an agreement."Mia knew that Laura was a woman of her word. Laura would surely make Mia sign the property settlement agreement. Still, Mia didn't want money from the Barretts. "It won't be done in time. Actually, Timothy and I have agreed to go to the courthouse later. You don't have to do that.""It's fine. I'll tell the lawyer to deliver the agreement to th

Mia's eyes landed on Timothy for a while. Her curiosity got the best of her and she asked, "Just now, you—""We're running out of time." He turned and headed to the lobby before she could finish her sentence.She watched his back before dropping her gaze. The corner of her lips curved upward, laced with self-mockery. Just what was she hoping for? Hoping for Timothy to make her stay? Or hoping for him to regret the divorce?She should wake up to reality by now. Laura, who was the only hurdle to the divorce, knew of their situation now and even agreed to the divorce. There was no reason for him to stop it from happening.After inwardly mocking herself, she managed her expression and followed him to the lobby.It took about ten minutes to get a divorce certificate. There were two certificates in her hand—their marriage certificate and the divorce certificate.To think that this was the fruit she bore after three years, how ironic.Well, it was all for the better now that ev

Mia burst into laughter. Maya's words didn't bother her in the slightest. Mia headed to the waiting room to make sure the decorations were in place.Maya was displeased that she was being ignored. She looked at Shelly next to her. "Shelly, don't you think I have a point?"There was something awkward about Shelly's expression. She let out a wry cough. "Ms. Lane, about Mia, there's a secret I have to tell you.""What is it?"Shelly hesitated momentarily. "Can you unfreeze my credit card? I need money lately."Maya wasn't happy to hear that. "Shelly, you're quite the spendthrift. I think you should learn to save money or at least how to earn money. You can't keep asking for money from your family when you're already an adult, can you?"Maya was suppressing her emotions. If it was not for Shelly's status, Maya wouldn't have cared about her, let alone give her a credit card to spend freely.It was all in her plan to be one of the Barretts successfully.However, there was nothing S
