Chapter 35
“Three years ago, Uncle James got into an accident and needed a huge sum for his
treatment. I quit the competition to work as a carer at a wealthy family.” Mia didn’t
want to tell Dominic that she’d married Timothy.
Liam said, “The awards ceremony is next week, right? Let’s go get you something to
wear for it, Mia.”
When it came to walking the red carpet and attending events, no one had more
experience than him.
Mia nodded.
Dominic sighed to himself. The Lane family organized the Fleur International Design Competition, so he couldn’t show himself for the time being. He didn’t want
to expose his identity and have Mia detest him. He had no choice but to allow Liam
to go with Mia.
However, Dominic and Liam had some work to attend to the following day. Mia
could only have Eva accompany her to the mall.
When they arrived at the mall, Mia looked around and saw that the products offered were extremely expensive. She tugged on Eva’s sleeve and said, “The brands at this
mall are all priced exorbitantly. Let’s go to another one.”
“Don’t worry about it, Mia. I have a friend working here; I can have her pick out a discounted evening gown for you. Look, this is your first time attending an awards ceremony. You have to look good for it!”
Mia still wanted to leave, but Eva dragged her inside and made a beeline to a Chanel
store.
Shelly had just finished her beauty treatment when she saw Mia entering the mall. She followed Mia into the mall with a branded bag dangling from her arm.
Then, she said arrogantly, “I can’t believe you’re here, Mia. The clothes here cost several thousand dollars, you know. With your family background, do you really think you can afford anything here?”

Eva said calmly, “It’s just an evening gown. Why wouldn’t we be able to afford it?”
She thought nothing of the money she’d be spending today. In Nord City, she’d
never even had to look at the price tag when shopping. She’d just buy whatever she
wanted.
Before bringing Mia here, Eva had already spoken to the salespeople in the Chanel
At this moment, a salesperson came over with a few evening gowns. “Ladies, I’ve
picked out a few suitable evening gowns.”
Shelly glanced at the gowns, then said disdainfully, “Why are you buying evening
gowns, Mia? Don’t tell me you’re attending the awards ceremony next week.”
Mia looked calm. “Yes, I am. Do you have something to say about it?”
“Maybe you’re not aware of this, but people who don’t get through to the final round
don’t get to attend the ceremony. Oh, but that doesn’t apply to wealthy people like
me; we have special invites. No one else can attend, you know.”
Shelly didn’t even need to think to know that Mia wouldn’t make it to the finals.
Eva stood up and clucked her tongue. “Whoever said anything about Mia not getting through to the finals? She’s unlike certain people, who got disqualified after she was caught paying someone to do up some designs for her.”
As the wife of the organizing company’s president, she knew all about these things.

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...
