Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen )
Chapter 237

Maya had no intention of signing the document.

Deep down, she had always regarded herself as the heiress of the Lane family. The chance to becomeengaged to Timothy also derived from her standing in the family.

Hence, Maya was determined not to lose this advantageous position under any circumstances.

Dominic pursed his lips. “There isn’t any additional rationale behind this decision. It’s simply theappropriate moment to finalize your adoption, in accordance with our initial agreement.”

Before Maya could respond, Blake hurriedly entered and announced, “Ms. Lane, the Barrett family hasarrived.”

Maya’s expression turned uneasy. She promptly handed the document to Blake and turned to Dominic,pleading. “Dominic, can we discuss this matter after the engagement ceremony?”

Dominic nodded. “Certainly, Maya. However, concerning this matter, there’s flexibility only in terms ofcompensation. Everything else is non–negotiable.”

Upon hearing this, Maya’s fists clenched tightly. Did this imply that, regardless of the circumstances,she would be required to sign the document?

But, why?

After dedicating herself for all these years and making significant contributions to the Lane family. whywere they intent on pushing her away?

Connor’s tone was cold as he retorted, “Maya, you’ve already benefited significantly from our familyover the years. We don’t owe you anything.”

With the discovery of their biological sister, Mia, who had endured years of suffering, the Lane familywas determined to bring her back into the fold.

They certainly wouldn’t tolerate anyone mistreating Mia.

Hence, Maya couldn’t remain a part of the Lane family.

After all, she was now set to marry Timothy and step into a prosperous future as his wife.

Maya stayed silent and signaled to Blake to discreetly conceal the document, ensuring it remained outof sight.

Just then, the Barretts entered the main hall.

Maya swiftly regained her composure and greeted, “Mrs. Barrett, you’ve arrived.”

As she spoke, Maya cast another glance at Timothy beside her, a subtle anticipation in her eyes.

If the engagement ceremony unfolded smoothly today, she would soon become part of the Barrettfamily.

Timothy remained unfazed, his eyes scanning the three Lane brothers before finally settling on

Connor.

He recalled the morning when he called Mia, and Connor’s voice could be heard in the background.

This incident had been on Timothy’s mind ever since..

Upon spotting the three handsome Lane brothers, Shelly’s eyes widened. Dominic may be married, butNathan and Connor, both remarkable young men, were still single.

If Shelly could marry one of them, it would be ideal.

With a smile, Sharon took Maya’s hand. “Why are you still calling me Mrs. Barrett? It’s time to changethat now.”

Maya smiled with a touch of shyness, though her eyes didn’t quite reflect the same warmth.

Shelly chimed in, “Maya, we’re going to be family soon. When does the engagement ceremony begin?You haven’t started getting ready. Do you have enough time?”

“I thought I’d wait for all of you to help me out, you know? After all, I don’t have any female friends orrelatives here in Bern City.”

Sharon waved her hands dismissively. “No worries, we’ll assist you. Let’s go.”

Maya nodded and turned to Dominic. “Dominic, I’ll take them upstairs for makeup and a change ofclothes.”

“Sure.”

Dominic nodded, shooting Timothy a displeased look.

According to Connor’s remarks, it seemed Timothy had ulterior motives toward Mia.

Soon after, the main hall was left with four men.

Three members faced off against a single opponent; it was evident that there was mutual animositybetween the two sides.

Breaking the silence, Connor spoke up, “Mr. Barrett, after your engagement today, you should

other women.”

Certainly, Timothy must not entertain any feelings for Mia! Being a divorced man from a second

marriage, he had no right to covet her.

Timothy could discern the underlying message in Connor’s words. It seemed like a veiled threat, butTimothy questioned Connor’s authority to make such statements.
