Mia sat on the couch. Ivan bandaged her hand before instructing. “For the next few days, avoid letting your wound come into contact with water. You need to let the wound heal first.”
“Mia, tell me how you got injured,” Laura said.
Mia glanced at Maya. The latter’s eyes shifted evasively.
Sharon immediately cried out, “What do you mean by that, Mia? An accident? Don’t tell me you’re trying to frame Maya. She was just kind enough to try and help you. She got injured, too.”
“Shut up!” Laura snapped loudly. “Who allowed you to speak?”
Sharon clammed up at once, though her expression was unpleasant. Laura, her mother-in-law, had always
disliked her. Instead, Laura favored Mia, a woman from a poor background.
In the end, Mia calmly answered, “It was just an accident, Grandma. I got distracted while I was making some
soup.”
Her explanation made Timothy’s eyes grow thoughtful. Why wasn’t Mia making a fuss when Laura was here to
stand up for her?
“Oh, you silly goose. We’ve plenty of people who can cook for us. I told you not to cook anymore, but you
refused to listen to me,” Laura chided.
Mia lowered her eyes. She didn’t try to speak further on the subject. Even though she knew Laura had her
back, she suddenly decided not to let Laura worry about this matter.
Just then, Maya approached Laura and said, “How have you been feeling lately, Mrs. Barrett Senior? I brought
a lot of health supplements for you. They’re good for your body.”
Mia stood in silence beside Laura.
“Haven’t I told you not to come over anymore, Ms. Lane?” Laura asked in a polite but distant tone. “We’re having a family dinner tonight, so I won’t keep you for dinner.”
Maya could barely keep her expression neutral. She was the daughter of the Lane family. When had she ever
faced such disrespect?
No one can prove what happened just now.”
“Is that so?” Mia remarked.
Her expression was different, but her gaze was cold. “That makes things a lot easier then.”
Maya lifted her chin haughtily and said, “Now that the footage is gone, there’s no proof. Who’s going to believe your claims?”
“Since there’s no evidence, and the security cameras are turned off, that’s precisely why things are a lot easier
for me,” Mia said.`
She picked up a nearby spatula and whacked both Shelly and Maya with it.
The two young women couldn’t avoid her. All they could do was shriek their heads off. Soon, they were in tears.
Mia stood in the doorway to stop the women from escaping as she taught them a lesson.
Once she was done, she fixed her hair and adjusted her clothes before saying, “Since there’s no security
camera in here, no one will believe what you say.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
Enjoyed reading this but I agree that the last chapter seemed rushed. Maybe if the author had done a few more chapters to let us know if they remarried or not - could there be a second book in the running. Anyway we'll done....
Who's Claude in chapters 276/277? Have I missed a chapter or something?...
I've never encountered a book with over 1,000 chapters. Does the author or platform not use an editor? The writing and grammatical errors are quite frustrating....
Why does it read status ongoing? If it’s ongoing chapter 1187 isn’t the end, I’m confused...
Chapter 1187 is the end? Too soon of a ending if its the ending they just ruined the sorty for me...
It reads 7 chapters per day, yet today only 2...
Patiently waiting for her to realize they belong together...
More chapters please & conclusion in sight?...
Where are the chapters. Very slow. Story is taking too long?...
More chapters please...
