Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen )
Chapter 414

It seemed that Timothy had managed to outsmart Jason, the esteemed lawyer from Nord City.

Mia reassured Jason, saying, “Jason, this situation isn’t your fault. I never intended to ask for anythinganyway. Let’s just accept it for what it is.”

Jason remained silent, grappling with the sting of defeat.

“Please, Jason, promise me you won’t approach Timothy about the property settlement. I simply wantto sever ties with the Barrett family.” Mia pleaded.

After all, within Mia’s belly lay what she considered to be her most precious asset: her twins. With thatin mind, nothing else seemed to matter.

As Jason looked into Mia’s imploring eyes, a sigh escaped him.

At that moment, he finally understood the meaning of Connor’s previous comment about being unableto resist Mia’s pleas.

Now, Jason too found himself incapable of refusal.

However, despite agreeing to Mia’s request, he couldn’t shake off this lingering sense of injustice.

After organizing the documents, Mia returned home, putting on a facade as if nothing had happened.

After finishing her meal and settling into her bed for the night, Mia finally took a look at the property

settlement agreement.

Summoning her courage, she dialed Timothy’s number, yet received no response from the other end.

Unbeknownst to her, Timothy was secluded in a private room at a lavish bar, surrounded by numerous.

empty liquor bottles.

Upon Caleb’s arrival, all he found were the remnants of Timothy’s indulgepce strewn across the room.

Caleb’s eyelids twitched with concern as he asked, “Tim, what’s going on with you?”

It had been years since Caleb had witnessed Timothy consume alcohol to such an extent.

Taking a seat on the sofa, Caleb couldn’t help but comment. “Is the world ending or something?”

Timothy removed his tie, his shirt draping loosely over his chest, appearing completely disheveled.

Without a word, he proceeded to consume another bottle of red wine before rambling incoherently.

Alarmed by Timothy’s behavior, Caleb hastily grabbed Heath beside him and demanded, “What in theworld is going on?”

“Mr. Barrett is about to go bankrupt,” Heath replied.

Caleb raised his eyebrows in disbelief. “That’s impossible. How could the Barrett family facebankruptcy? Why haven’t I been informed about this?”

“Mr. Barrett has recently finalized the property settlement agreement for his divorce.”

“I see. But that shouldn’t result in bankruptcy.”

“Mr. Barrett has also transferred all his shares to Ms. Bowen.”

Upon hearing this, Caleb was shocked. “What? Is he out of his mind?”

Recounting the situation, Heath also acknowledged his surprise at how things had unfolded.

Upon hearing the full story, Caleb found it even more incredulous.

Turning to Timothy, he remarked, “There’s still room for negotiation with a lawyer.

“Plus, Mia signed a prenuptial agreement, so she wouldn’t receive anything in the divorce. Are youseriously going to give up just like that?”

This was certainly unlike Timothy’s usual behavior!

Putting down the bottle of red wine, its crimson contents trickling down his throat, Timothy swallowednervously. His gaze was a mix of emotions as he exclaimed. “You don’t understand!”

“Yes, I’m baffled too. How could you sign the divorce settlement agreement without reviewing it’s

contents first?

“Are you still the same cautious Timothy we all know? Such a careless mistake shouldn’t havehappened to someone like you.”

Caleb was truly puzzled.

Timothy reclined casually on the sofa, his legs stretched out as if he might sink into the black cushions.

In a hoarse tone, he replied, “Do you think I have an answer?”

Caleb appeared perplexed as he asked, “You signed the document, didn’t you? How can you notunderstand? What were you thinking at that moment?”

“I wasn’t thinking at all!”

Timothy’s hand tightened around the wine bottle, his gaze darkening slightly.

He had never before made such a significant mistake because of a woman.

Timothy hadn’t realized the extent of Mia’s influence on him–this was what baffled him the most.

Caleb suddenly exclaimed, “Timothy, you’re not developing feelings for Mia, are you?”
