Meet My Brothers

Chapter 187

Mary's antics reduced Mia's voice to a whisper. "Let's discuss this outside."

"Uh-huh, I don't want to. Let's sort things out in front of your colleagues. About why you don't wanna help us. Back when you were on the brink of death in the orphanage, we were the ones who adopted and raised you.

"And you're not acknowledging us as your parents? How could you be this ungrateful?" Mary had fully unleashed her potential in mixing truth with fabrications, hurling backlashes against Mia.

Meanwhile, Bob, who played the role of an honest family man, recounted to the watching colleagues, "We're at our wit's end. Raising Mia took up a lot of our savings. But now she's avoiding us when we need money."

Mia shot a cold stare at her brazen adoptive parents. "You didn't pay for my studies."

Mary whined, "How ungrateful of you! Who else could have paid for your studies other than us, Mia? You won so many cash prizes and have a decently paid job, but now you refuse to give us even a cent of it."

At that moment, Felix strode out of his office with a frown. "What's going on here?"

Mary continued with her acting. "You must be Mia's boss. Is her salary high? We're her parents. You should've transferred her pay to us."

The absurdity almost had Mia chuckling, for she had never met such shameless people.

Impressively enough, her adoptive parents could always take shamelessness to a whole new level.

Felix asked, "Are you Mia's adoptive parents?"

"Yes, we are. It wasn't easy to raise her, but she turned into an ungrateful child. We need the money to save someone. You should give us her salary."

He snorted coldly. "Give you her salary? On what grounds? You're demanding this shamelessly!"

This stunned Mia and Bob as they didn't expect Felix to react that way.

Felix continued, "As far as I know, Aunt Patricia had raised her and paid for her education. And her so-called adoptive parents turned her into a maid after they had their own child."

Felix defended Mia further, "If it wasn't for Aunt Patricia's kindness, I wonder where Mia would've ended up. How dare you come and demand money from her?"

Mary and Bob's reactions seemed unnatural after Felix's confrontation.

Mary simply showed her true colors. She didn't bother to put up the act of a good adoptive mother anymore, hurling profanities, "I don't give a fig about that. We raised Mia, so she should give us money. Otherwise, let's take this to court. We have nothing to be afraid of."

Bob shamelessly added, "If you don't give us her salary, we'll come by your studio and cause a ruckus every day. We'll make a tent here too. Let's see who'll outlast the other."

Mary made herself comfortable on the floor. "Yes, this place looks decent. It's spacious, bright and furnished with air-conditioners. It's better than what we have in the village at least."Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Felix didn't expect such shameless acts coming from the other party.

Mia, who was well-acquainted with her adoptive parents' thick-skinned nature, was unfazed by the debacle that just ensued.

She turned to Felix. "Sorry for causing you trouble again, Felix. I'll resign from my position today."

As long as she resigned, there wouldn't be any reason for Mary and Bob to cause a stir at the studio.

Felix frowned. "Mia, you should really think this through."

Mary chimed in, "Mia, it wasn't easy for you to get a job. Why quit? Our family relies on you. You mustn't resign. Give it your best shot."
