Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen )
Chapter 230

People were truly different from each other.

Timothy frustratingly tugged at his tie. “Actually, my engagement with Maya is-”

“Enough, Mr. Barrett! There’s no need to explain it to me. Someone of my status has no right to inquire,let

alone listen!” Mia retorted before walking away.

She gazed up at the ceiling, holding back her tears.

Observing Mia’s departing silhouette, Timothy raised his hand and forcefully slammed it against thewall. Pain

swiftly surged through him.

Upon witnessing blood seeping through, Heath panicked and hastily called for a nurse to come andbandage.

Timothy’s wound.

However, upon catching a glimpse of Timothy’s expression, Heath dared not utter a word.

Was it because Timothy, who was typically calm and strategic, displayed a hint of helplessness at that

moment?

Heath couldn’t help but sigh. Ever since Timothy and Mia settled on a divorce, life had grownincreasingly

tumultuous.

In the next instant, Timothy’s phone rang.

Unfazed, Timothy picked up the call. “Hello?”

“Tim, tomorrow is your big day. Come home for dinner tonight. Maya will also-”

Sharon’s words trailed off as Timothy abruptly hung up the phone. His gaze turned cold as he observedMia from a distance, watching her as she entered a taxi and departed.

Following the disconnection of Sharon’s call, she made several more attempts, but none received ananswer.

With a hint of awkwardness, Sharon addressed Maya. “He probably has work obligations. You’re wellaware of how a corporation of this magnitude relies solely on him.”

Maya’s gaze slightly darkened, but she remained composed and replied, “It’s alright, Mrs. Barrett. Iunderstand

that Tim is busy with work.”

“Maya, you’re so understanding. Nonetheless, please join us for dinner tonight. What about yourbrothers? I heard they’re supposed to come over, right?”

Maya’s expression stiffened momentarily. “Yes, they did plan to come, but their flight got delayed. I’ll gopick them up after dinner.”

“Why not propose to Tim that we pick them up together later? Considering his hectic schedule, there’sa chance he might not be able to make it. If that’s the case, I’ll gladly accompany you,” Sharonsuggested.

“It’s alright, Mrs. Barrett. It’s late, and you should re Besides, you’ll have a busy day tomorrow.”

+15 BONOS

Maya promptly rejected Sharon’s idea. She had just fabricated a story about her brothers‘ delayedflight. If

Sharon accompanied her to pick them up, wouldn’t the truth be exposed?

In the afternoon, Maya reached out to Dominic, hoping to invite her brothers and Timothy for a meal.

However, Dominic had prior commitments, Nathan mentioned he would arrive the next day, andattempts to contact Connor went unanswered.

Maya didn’t dare to pry further. After all, her time with the Lane family in Nord City had always revolvedaround Laura, and her three brothers had consistently shown indifference toward her.

Maya was well aware that she was merely a substitute for the original heiress of the Lane family.

Consequently, she maintained a low profile and a humble demeanor, enduring this dynamic until thatday–the day she was set to marry Timothy.

Upon assuming the title of Mrs. Barrett, Maya eagerly anticipated a future where she wouldn’t have toconcern herself with the Lane family’s opinions or serve Laura any longer.

Sharon and Maya found themselves alone at the dinner table.

Maya was aware that Sharon’s fondness for her was solely based on her status as the Lane family’sheiress.

Midway through the meal, Maya’s phone rang. Noticing it was a call from Dominic, she rose excitedly,stating.” It’s Dominic calling.”

Answering swiftly, she inquired, “Hello, Dominic, have you finished your work?”

“Maya, I initially intended to discuss this after your engagement ceremony tomorrow, but I believe it’sbest to inform you now,” he began.

“I’ve forwarded the electronic file to your inbox. Please take a look, and if you have any requests, feelfree to let me know.”

After the call concluded, Maya opened the document Dominic had sent, revealing a straightforwardtitle-” Termination of Adoption Agreement“.
