Meet My Brothers

“Three years ago, Uncle James got into an accident and needed a huge sum for his

treatment. I quit the competition to work as a carer at a wealthy family.” Mia didn’t

want to tell Dominic that she’d married Timothy.

Liam said, “The awards ceremony is next week, right? Let’s go get you something to

wear for it, Mia.”

When it came to walking the red carpet and attending events, no one had more

experience than him.

Mia nodded.

Dominic sighed to himself. The Lane family organized the Fleur International Design Competition, so he couldn’t show himself for the time being. He didn’t want

to expose his identity and have Mia detest him. He had no choice but to allow Liam

to go with Mia.

However, Dominic and Liam had some work to attend to the following day. Mia

could only have Eva accompany her to the mall.

When they arrived at the mall, Mia looked around and saw that the products offered were extremely expensive. She tugged on Eva’s sleeve and said, “The brands at this

mall are all priced exorbitantly. Let’s go to another one.”

“Don’t worry about it, Mia. I have a friend working here; I can have her pick out a discounted evening gown for you. Look, this is your first time attending an awards ceremony. You have to look good for it!”

Mia still wanted to leave, but Eva dragged her inside and made a beeline to a Chanel

store.

Shelly had just finished her beauty treatment when she saw Mia entering the mall. She followed Mia into the mall with a branded bag dangling from her arm.

Then, she said arrogantly, “I can’t believe you’re here, Mia. The clothes here cost several thousand dollars, you know. With your family background, do you really think you can afford anything here?”

Eva said calmly, “It’s just an evening gown. Why wouldn’t we be able to afford it?”

She thought nothing of the money she’d be spending today. In Nord City, she’d

never even had to look at the price tag when shopping. She’d just buy whatever she

wanted.

Before bringing Mia here, Eva had already spoken to the salespeople in the Chanel

store. Where had Shelly suddenly popped up from? She was so rude-mocking Mia

for not being able to afford an evening gown.

Eva knew what Dominic, Liam, and their brothers were like. If not for the fact that

they wanted to keep a low profile in front of Mia, they probably would’ve reserved

the whole mall.

Shelly doubled over with laughter. “You’ve gotta be kidding me. This isn’t some

farmer’s market that you country hicks go to where things cost less than a hundred

dollars, you know.

“This high-class mall was specially built with the wealthy in mind. Peasants like you

don’t even deserve to come here-it’s not like you can afford any of the things here.”

Mia shot to her feet. “You’d better watch your mouth, Shelly.”

Shelly could say whatever she wanted about her, but Mia wouldn’t allow her to say

anything about Eva.

Upon hearing Shelly’s name, Eva knew who it was. She just knew every member of

the Barrett family was as despicable as the last!

At this moment, a salesperson came over with a few evening gowns. “Ladies, I’ve

picked out a few suitable evening gowns.”

Shelly glanced at the gowns, then said disdainfully, “Why are you buying evening

gowns, Mia? Don’t tell me you’re attending the awards ceremony next week.”

Mia looked calm. “Yes, I am. Do you have something to say about it?”

“Maybe you’re not aware of this, but people who don’t get through to the final round

don’t get to attend the ceremony. Oh, but that doesn’t apply to wealthy people like

me; we have special invites. No one else can attend, you know.”

Shelly didn’t even need to think to know that Mia wouldn’t make it to the finals.

Eva stood up and clucked her tongue. “Whoever said anything about Mia not getting through to the finals? She’s unlike certain people, who got disqualified after she was caught paying someone to do up some designs for her.” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
