Timothy noticed that Mia ended up eating four pancakes, two slices of toast, and a bowl of cereal.
Did she always have such a hearty appetite?
Once breakfast was over, Laura abruptly held out an invitation. “Mia, I got you a spot as a contestant in this competition.”
Mia looked at the invitation. It was for the Fleur International Design Competition.
Startled, she asked Laura, “When did you do this, Grandma?”
“Well, you sent me some interior design sketches a while back, and I just so happened to hear about this competition, so I got you a spot,” Laura explained. “Give it a try. Mia. I think you’ll do a great job.”
Mia stared at the invitation with a look of melancholy. She considered joining this competition years ago, but after marrying into the Barrett family, she devoted all of her time and attention to Timothy. In doing so, she neglected all of her past interests.
Shelly strutted into the dining room and said casually, “Mia, that’s no ordinary competition. Considering how unskilled you are, you shouldn’t bother joining.
“You’ll just be embarrassing yourself. Don’t humiliate the entire Barrett family along with you.”
Laura immediately snapped, “Shelly, you didn’t even graduate from college, so keep quiet!”
Ashamed that her own failures had been exposed, Shelly ran off in anger.
She recalled that the Lanes were the ones who organized the competition, so she quickly called Maya.
“Maya, are you in charge of the Fleur International Design Competition?” Shelly asked.
“That’s right. I’m in charge of a few things in the competition. Why do you ask?”
“Maya, Grandma got Mia a spot in the competition,” Shelly informed. “She’s so biased. You need to try and find a way to stop Mia from joining the competition.”
Upon hearing that, Maya’s gaze turned cold. “That’s easy. Tomorrow’s the final day to register for the competition. I’ll tell them to end registrations a day early.”
Shelly instantly smirked smugly. “That’d be great. I’ll head over there tomorrow to enjoy the show in person. What’ll it be like to see the excited Mia being disappointed once she finds out the registration is over? It’s going to be so much fun!”
Maya was smiling tauntingly as well.
“Go ahead. Remember to give me a play-by-play afterward,” Maya said before ending the call.
How could a woman like Mia, who came from a poor background, be worthy of competing against her for Timothy?

After saying goodbye to Laura, Mia left the Barrett residence with the invitation in hand.
She heard Timothy’s footsteps coming from behind. It was followed by his voice as he asked in a surprised

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
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...
Please update all the chapters...
I am so done with this never ending saga, with too much drama and never resolving any issues, only continuing to add more unresolved issues....
