Semua Bab Meet My Brothers: Bab 731 - Bab 740

Shelly's words were cutting and venomous, hitting Luna's sore spot with precision. The latter was rendered speechless. She raised her head, and when she noticed Sharon, her eyes lit up. "Aunt Sharon."Sharon, who was planning to leave the scene unobtrusively, didn't expect Luna to call out to her.Biting the bullet, Sharon stepped forward. "Luna, don't be petty. It's just a dress."People who attended the event were rich. Minor disputes occasionally broke out, but no one had ever caused a scene to demand compensation. It was a petty act.Only then did Luna notice the kind of look people were giving her. Almost instantly, she wore her typical fragile expression. A man couldn't take it anymore. "Jeez, this pretty lady is on the verge of crying. It's not like it's a huge sum of money. Just give her the money.""Well, it's not like I cannot pay for it," Mia finally spoke up."Monalize, you don't have to entertain her."Ignoring Shelly, Mia stared at Luna. "If I pay for your dress,

"Of course I'm on Timothy's side." Shelly was all puffed up. If Timothy married Monalize, Shelly's life would be free from worries. She wouldn't need to read Sharon's mood anymore.A furious Sharon watched the duo leave. What happened today was an utter embarrassment.Sharon went to the restroom, where Luna was washing her dress. "What's wrong with you today, Luna Maynard?" Sharon vented."Sorry, Mrs. Barrett. It was all my fault. But I swear I argued with Ms. Monalize for Tim.""For my son? Why?"Mixed feelings sat upon Luna's brows. "Mrs. Barrett, didn't I tell you yesterday that Ms. Monalize has a sick daughter at the hospital? I've only just found out myself, and Tim has been busy—""Enough. Stop beating around the bush. Go straight to the point." Sharon's patience was running thin.Luna swallowed her displeasure before recounting, "Ms. Monalize's daughter has leukemia and has the same blood type as Tim. He agreed to donate his bone marrow if they were a match.""What?

Mia returned to the hospital, anticipating the test results due the following day. The sheer thought of it made her nervous. Despite her certainty that it would be a match, Mia couldn't find peace of mind until the results were confirmed.Timothy arrived just as Mia and Ginger were dining together. Ginger's eyes lit up with excitement as she asked, "What's in that box?" Two imposing bodyguards carried a sizable box into the room, its contents evidently substantial."You'll find out soon," Timothy replied cryptically.Mia was curious as well. What kind of gift had he bought for Ginger?The bodyguards set the box down and unveiled its contents, revealing a miniature princess castle. Mia couldn't contain her amazement. "Wow! It's stunning!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with disbelief."Did you go out of your way to get it?" Mia asked, surprised by Timothy's gesture."I stumbled upon it while I was out. It gets dull just sitting in the room. I thought this might keep her enterta

Shelly retorted, "Don't feed me that courtesy speech. I'm not naïve enough to fall for it. Tim and Monalize will marry and have a baby. That's when we'll have the true heir. The illegitimate child will be sent away in the end."Luna's expression turned icy. At that moment, Sharon stormed down the stairs. "Shelly, what nonsense are you spouting? Asher is part of our family, too. Why would we send him away?""We'll see," Shelly replied dismissively, heading upstairs without a care.Luna approached Sharon with coffee. "Please don't be upset, Mrs. Barrett. That's just how Shelly is."Sharon snorted. "What is she so smug about? Despite cutting ties with certain family members, she and her mother still live in the Barrett residence. If it weren't for Tim's generosity, I would have kicked them out long ago. Shameless!"Sharon's anger still simmered from the fashion show debacle, where Shelly sided with an outsider, putting Sharon in an uncomfortable position.It was infuriating."Mrs

The money spent on Shelly was a worthy investment. Mia and Shelly joined the party. Most of the guests were there, hence the lively atmosphere. Shelly took out her phone to take pictures. "Monalize, this private resort is a new place. Only reservations are accepted. It's never opened to the public. "I've heard that everything here, from the designs to the decorations, is branded. Especially those plants in the parlor—they are rare and imported from abroad, some even endangered species." Mia remained composed, though she played along with an astonished expression. "Really? The parlor is beautifully and exquisitely decorated, and the outdoor design is stunning, too.""Some might find this a novelty," Shelly remarked.Sharon and Veronica approached them, with Sharon exuding elegance and high spirits. However, Mia's striking red attire seemed to irk Sharon—it made Mia stand out, almost as if she were the woman of the hour. Veronica sized Mia up and blurted, "Ms. Monalize, today
