Semua Bab Meet My Brothers: Bab 521 - Bab 530

Timothy's words immediately sparked fury among the five brothers!Claude stepped forward, grabbing Timothy's tie and tugging his arm in the process. "You scoundrel, do you have a death wish? Mia is no longer the orphan you could mistreat! She is now the heiress of the Lane family!""Exactly. Timothy, just because your family is affluent, you presume ours isn't? Well, believe me, I'll use money to beat you at your own game!"Timothy remained composed, but the tug on his arm caused his wound to reopen, and blood began to seep out.Heath broke out in cold sweat as he observed the tense situation. "Mr. Claude, Mr. Barrett's arm is still injured from rescuing Mrs. Barrett. Please, let's not act hastily."Jason arched an eyebrow. "Who are you referring to as Mrs. Barrett? Come on! They're already divorced!"Liam was furious. "Timothy, what makes you so certain that Mia can only be Mrs. Barrett? What gives you the audacity to make such a statement?"Timothy's lips tightened as he glanc

Observing Karen's envious expression, Mia purposefully turned to Patricia and suggested, "You know, since we're going out for dinner tonight, why don't you wear the bracelet? It's been a while since you wore it."Patricia chuckled. "I work at the supermarket most of the time, so there's hardly any chance to wear it. Plus, I'd be devastated if it were to get scratched or damaged.""Well, since we're dining out today and you're not on duty, why not wear it now? It's the perfect occasion," Mia suggested."Yes, go ahead, put it on. Let everyone admire the gift Mia gave you," Eva chimed in.Unable to resist their persistence, Patricia eventually relented and headed to the bedroom to retrieve the bracelet.Mia shared a knowing look with Eva, who had just picked up on her subtle signal.Shortly after, Patricia emerged wearing the diamond bracelet. Karen couldn't help but gaze at it enviously. "So, this is Mia's purchase. It's quite lovely and bears a resemblance to my bracelet," Eva sai

Mia discreetly averted her gaze, feigning ignorance.Beside her, Karen appeared taken aback by Eva's direct remark.Struggling to respond, she said, "Why does background matter so much nowadays? Our family showed Mia kindness in the past. Just because she's found wealthier relatives, does that mean she should forget about us?""As far as I know, it was only Patricia who showed kindness to Mia. It's not fair to credit the rest of you."Besides, my brothers-in-law are looking for partners whose backgrounds match theirs, or at least aren't impoverished!"Eva's words were sharp and unapologetic.Feeling humiliated, Karen's eyes teared up. "Who are you to label us as poor? Is money all that matters?"Edna intervened abruptly, reproaching, "That's enough! Show some decorum, will you? They are from wealthy backgrounds, unlike Sally. Have you no sense of shame?""Fine, I guess I'm just an unwanted guest here, right? I'll go."Frustrated, Karen slammed her hand on the table and rose to

Mia understood Edna and Karen's true intentions.Despite seeking loans, they were more interested in receiving handouts than repaying their debts.Over the years, they had borrowed substantial amounts from Patricia without any intention of returning the money.Mia vividly remembered their indifference when James fell seriously ill and needed urgent financial assistance. This memory remained etched in her mind.Consequently, Mia had no intention of portraying herself as a saint.However, Karen remained adamant about not wanting to draft a loan agreement.Standing nearby, Regina became increasingly impatient. "Are you going to make the payment or do I need to involve the authorities? I don't have time to deal with your drama."Observing Regina reach for her phone to call the authorities, Karen reluctantly took the paper and drafted a loan agreement.Mia couldn't help but smirk. "Alright, would you prefer Venmo or Apple Pay?""Venmo works."Without hesitation, Mia promptly trans

Mia couldn't help but frown, pondering Timothy's intentions.Having already drawn considerable attention at the university, Mia was wary of inviting more scrutiny.Certainly, given her current position as the Lane family heiress, Timothy wouldn't risk acting against her.Moreover, Mia now had the support of her six brothers.With these considerations, Mia grabbed her bag and descended the stairs, swiftly slipping into the car to avoid being noticed by others.Timothy cast a glance at her. "Do all pregnant women dash about like you do?"Mia's unease became evident. "What's on your mind? Just say it outright. I'm rather busy, you know.""Start driving."As the car began to move, Mia's apprehension grew. "Timothy, where are you taking me?""Don't worry. I'm not going to harm you.""I'm warning you, if you try anything with me, my brothers won't let you get away with it!"Mia had never felt so empowered by her six brothers' support, sensing she held the upper hand.
