Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

The young woman was Shelly Barrett, Timothy’s cousin.

Mia simply ignored Shelly’s sarcastic remarks. Throughout the years, Shelly viewed Mia in contempt. Her comments would always suggest that Mia was only willing to marry a half-dead Timothy for money.

In the past, Mia kept putting up with Shelly’s ridicule. But now that she had signed the divorce papers, she no longer needed to do so.

Shelly strutted haughtily over to Mia and snapped, “Why are you just standing there? Hurry over to the kitchen and start cooking. Remember to make my favorite seafood stew.”

Mia withdrew her gaze and replied, “Grandma Laura invited me over to have dinner. She didn’t ask me to come here as a maid to cook for other people.”

“What do you mean by that, Mia? You’ve got the nerve, don’t you? You’re even refusing to cook! I’m going to tell Aunt Sharon about this!”

“The more I look at her, Maya, the more annoyed I get,” Sharon huffed. “Even though you two have similar

names, she’s just some poor woman. How can she compare to a young heiress like you? You come from such

a good family, and you even studied abroad.

“You’re a beautiful and capable young woman. In my eyes, you’re the most perfect daughter-in-law a person

could have.”

Maya’s eyes flashed with smugness as she replied, “She’s an orphan, Mrs. Barrett. I can understand her

circumstances.”

“Hah! What’s there to understand? As an orphan, she should know her place. She shouldn’t have dreamt of

“My son is such a fine young man. He’s bound to accomplish a great deal more in the future. How can he be
