Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen )
Chapter 595

Mia heard a lady squealing next to her. “Oh my god, Mom! He’s hot!”

“He is. You were reluctant to come when I asked you to, though. You must surely regret not dolling up,don’t you?”

“I’ll do that now.” Nancy whipped a tiny mirror out of her bag and applied some lipstick on her lips.

Liam snorted. “Do you really think he’s hot?”

Nancy and Bethany were taken aback. They spun around, wondering who had the gall to speak aboutTimothy like that. It was then they realized six attractive men were standing before them. Stunned,Bethany chanced a glance at Nancy and remained silent.

An excited squeak escaped Nancy’s lips. “A–Are you Linden Lane?”

“Yeah, I am.”

“Oh my god!! I can’t believe my eyes–my favorite celebrity is standing right before me! Mom, can youpinch me so I know this isn’t a dream? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Slightly frustrated, Bethany chided, “Nancy, stop it. Weren’t you praising Mr. Barrett for his looksearlier?”

“But Linden is on another level!” Nancy squealed. Staring at him with starstruck eyes, she asked, “Mr.Lane, can I take a photo with you?”

“Sure, but later.”

“Alright!” Exhilarated, Nancy took her phone out to spill the news to her friend. She still couldn’t digestthe fact that she met her favorite actor at today’s banquet!

Bethany sighed. She intended to make Nancy show up at the banquet to get her connected withTimothy, since he was now divorced. Who knew they might have hit it off?

Everything seemed painfully familiar to Mia. Back when she was still married to Timothy, socialiteswould taunt her during banquets, saying that Timothy was too good for her. Not like she was botheredabout it now.

Glancing around at the guests, Laura said, “I had a close call to death because of my sickness. Thus, Iorganized this banquet to celebrate that I still have more years to live on, and secondly, to express mygratitude for the person who

ensured my successful surgery. She’s kind and earnest, though she might have more bad days thangood ones in our family, she was still forgiving enough to persuade her family to perform surgery onme.”

Mia’s eyes turned red. As Laura spoke, she sauntered toward her and held her hand. “Mia used to bethe lady of the Barrett family. Now that she has become the daughter of the Lane family in Nord City,I’m sincerely happy for her. She’ll always remain as one of our most important guests. Thus, I hopeeveryone will take care of her for the sake of our family.”

A round of applause erupted among the crowd. Someone couldn’t help but jeer, Mrs. Barrett Senior,since you’re so fond of her, why don’t you make her remarry?

“Yeah, isn’t that a pleasure for both families? They both share the same status, and it’s splendid tohave the most prominent families in Bern City and Nord City to merge as one!”

Mia didn’t expect those people, who used to mock her, to actually propose for her to remarry Timothy.In fact, Sharon was quite intrigued as well. Pride swelled in her chest once she imagined herselfboasting about having the daughter of the Lanes as her daughter–in–law.

The tension dripping off the Lane brothers caused the jeers to cease to a palpable silence. Dominicbegan politely, yet indifferently, “We appreciate Mrs. Barrett Senior’s hospitality toward Mia. I hate tosay it, but we’re not particularly fond of forging familial ties with the Barrett family.”

Nathan added grimly, “If we had found Mia three years earlier, we wouldn’t have let her marry so sooneither.”
