Chapter 20
Maya and Shelly were in similar states of disarray. Their hair and clothes were a mess, and there were marks
left behind by the spatula Mia had used.
“Mrs. Barrett will stand up for me!” Maya shrieked.
“But you’re in the Barrett residence right now, and Grandma Laura is the one who has the final say. Do you think she’ll believe you guys or me?
“I’m warning you two. Don’t try to mess with me, or you won’t be getting off so easily next time,” Mia growled.
Shelly gulped with a look of despair. She knew Mia was right. Laura would definitely believe Mia, that bitch!
After saying her piece, Mia walked out of the kitchen.
Maya and Shelly crumpled to the floor. They were forced to suffer such treatment without being able to get
even.
Gritting her teeth, Maya fumed, “I won’t be forgetting this! Just you wait!”
All this while, Timothy had been standing in a corner outside the kitchen. He had witnessed everything.
Cocking an eyebrow, Timothy stared after Mia’s retreating figure. He didn’t expect her to come out victorious
despite being outnumbered and injured.
His assistant asked, “Mr. Barrett, what just happened proves that Ms. Lane did indeed frame Ms. Mia. Should
we help? What if Ms. Lane tries to get revenge?”
“Don’t bother. As long as Maya has a functioning brain, she won’t dare to pursue this matter,” Timothy said
before leaving.
When Mia returned to the living room, she acted like nothing happened.
The women went into the dining room and took their seats, but Timothy wasn’t with them.
Laura turned to the side and said to one of the Barretts’ household staff, “Martha, get that brat in here. It’s time for dinner. Why isn’t he here in the dining room? Where has he gone off to?”
making for you.”
While speaking, Laura specifically gave Sharon a warning look.
With furrowed brows, Timothy said, “Those are two separate matters. Don’t mix them together.”
“To me, they’re one and the same.”
Just then, Sharon piped up, “Don’t tell me it’s because someone talked you into this. Why are you refusing to get the surgery done? We’re talking about the top cardiovascular surgeon here. When it comes to surgeries, he
has a 100% success rate.
“He’s Ms. Lane’s brother, and if not for her, we wouldn’t even be able to hire him.”
Mia looked down at her plate. She lost all her appetite.
She never thought Laura would turn down the surgery for her sake. What had she ever done to deserve such a
sacrifice?
Alas, she had failed Laura. She had already signed the divorce agreement.

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...
