The naïve Ginger shook her head.
Mia smiled. "Steal the thing he wants and he'll remember you forever."
"B-But—"
"No buts. You're going to give him the reishi mushrooms as a present anyway. It's the same. He'll be able to save ten million dollars too! Isn't that great?"
Ginger thought that Mia had a point and so she quickly raised her number to be noticed by the auctioneer.
The auctioneer saw the special number and knocked down the hammer. "Sold! Congratulations to the guest on the second floor. The reishi mushrooms are yours."
A tumult broke out.
Furious, Caleb sprang to his feet. "What's going on? I thought the bidders have to bid a price and three chances are given to others before the bid ends, no? You knocked down the hammer way too fast. This is not fair!"
People are joining in the protest. "It is indeed unfair."
Timothy looked at the second floor, his eyes met Mia's. She was propping her chin while smirking triumphantly.
His expression was gloomy as he began to think about what was she up to.
Luna stood up too. "Can the guest on the second floor pay ten million dollars?" She didn't believe that Monalize had that much money.
Ten million dollars was an astronomical figure!
The auctioneer mocked, "Miss, the guest on the second floor is our VVIP on Xanier Island. Of course, she can pay that much."
The mockery made her feel awkward as she sat down stiffly. Her hands clutched onto her dress.
With a wounded pride, she couldn't suppress the jealousy in her anymore. Was Monalize really that rich?
The reishi mushrooms could treat Laura and wake her up. When that happened, Luna wouldn't be able to cover the things she did anymore!
The protest was in vain. Caleb looked at Timothy. "What should we do?"

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....
