Meet My Brothers

“Timothy, how could you stand up for Mia? I was so humiliated,” Shelly complained.

Timothy retracted his gaze and said coldly, “If I catch you doing this again, don’t even think of setting foot in any of the Barrett Group’s malls in the future. I’m a man of my word.”

“How can you do this to me, Timothy? I have shares in the company, too.”

“Because I’m the one calling the shots now. It’s bad enough that you don’t contribute to the company at all. There’s no way I’ll allow you to drag the company down.” With

that, Timothy turned and left.

Shelly was left behind. She stomped her foot angrily but didn’t dare to rebuke

Timothy. After storming out of the store, she called Maya. “I need to tell you

something, Maya. Mia actually got into the finals of the competition.”

“Really?” Maya had been too busy with her work to pay attention. She only checked

the list of finalists that had been sent to her through WhatsApp. Sure enough, she

saw Mia’s name on the list.

Her expression turned cold. “I didn’t expect her to be this lucky.”

Getting to the finals of the Fleur International Design Competition wasn’t easy. One

had to have some actual skill to achieve this.

“That’s not all. She was here at the mall to buy an evening gown. I wanted to teach

her a lesson, but I didn’t expect Timothy to be making his rounds today. He helped

her out and even bought the evening gown she picked out for the awards ceremony!

“Shelly said.

“What?” Maya scowled. There was no way she could allow Mia to use this

competition as a way for her to shine. It would only attract all of Timothy’s attention. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“What should we do, Maya? Mia’s pretending to back off as a way to make Timothy

see her in a different light. He’s already less biased against her.”

“Don’t worry about that. I have my ways of dealing with her,” Maya said.

As she hung up, her eyes darkened. She wouldn’t allow anyone to take Timothy

from her. He was an outstanding man, and he would belong to only her!

She looked at the list of finalists and smirked coldly. This time, she would show Mia

who was boss.

Mia and Eva left the mall. Eva asked, “What do you think of Barrett Group’s

president, Mia?”

Mia’s steps faltered at this. “Why do you ask?”

Did Eva suspect something?

“Nah, it’s nothing. I was just asking. I think he’s pretty principled, actually. He made

that fussy bully apologize to us as a way of protecting his customers.”

Mia knew Timothy had always been like that when it came to work. He wouldn’t let

anyone off the hook, no matter who they were. It was why Barrett Group had

expanded so rapidly.

Before today, Eva had been biased against the Barrett family. It had started three

years ago after Timothy had had his accident. Before the accident, he’d been madly in love with Maya. Yet he’d married a different woman after the accident.

To make matters worse, Maya was still shamelessly insisting on marrying Timothy.

She acted like she couldn’t live without him.

Eva didn’t say anything about this to Timothy, though. He probably didn’t know who

she was. After all, she’d always lived in Nord City and had never come to Bern City

before this.

Mia and Eva stopped talking about Timothy.

After arriving home, Mia looked at the two dresses. Her gaze landed on the one

Timothy had picked out. To tell the truth, she liked it more than the revealing dress.

The color was nice, and it didn’t reveal too much skin. It was just that Mia didn’t

want to go along with Timothy’s choice. Still, she couldn’t help wanting to laugh as

she thought about how Timothy had taught Shelly a lesson at the mall.

That weekend, Liam brought Mia to a salon to get her hair done. When it was finally time to select the dress, Liam suggested she wear the champagne-colored one. The

reason was simple-it was more conservative than the other one.

In truth, Mia wasn’t used to wearing revealing clothes. In the end, she put on the

dress that Timothy had picked out.

She and Liam went to the venue for the awards ceremony. There were many cars

parked outside. Several paparazzi waited outside.

Mia was about to get out of the car when she saw Timothy’s car. Her breathing

hitched. She hadn’t expected him to be present as well!
