Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen novel Chapter 709

After giving it some thought, Sharon remained convinced that the VIP membership card wouldn't deceive anyone.

Reaching for the cup on the table, she hesitated slightly before saying, "She... She probably hasn't gone far. If you hurry, you might still catch up to her."

Shelly stomped her foot in frustration. "Aunt Sharon, you've really gone too far this time. Monalize was only trying to learn about your preferences.

"She would have gladly used her VIP membership card to please you, and who knows, she might have even given it to you."

"Did she actually say that?" Sharon asked.

Shelly maintained a stern expression. "At first, she was simply trying to understand your tastes. But instead of being welcoming, you approached with skepticism and doubt about her identity.

"Now you've driven her away. How do you expect her to please you after this?"

Sharon's expression instantly hardened, and she felt a twinge of regret. After all, the VIP membership card had been a source of frustration for her for many years.

Despite being the matriarch of the esteemed Barrett family in Bern City, she didn't possess a VIP membership card from Vior.

In the past, Laura had forbidden it, and now Timothy also prohibited her from obtaining one herself.

Despite her indignation, Sharon outwardly maintained the facade of upholding Laura's principles of frugality; she used it as a justification for not acquiring the VIP card, all to preserve her dignity.

Nonetheless, Shelly's revelation about Monalize's intention to use her VIP membership card to win over Sharon posed a troubling question—had Sharon overlooked a significant opportunity just moments ago?

For the first time, Sharon experienced a pang of regret. She shouldn't have been so impulsive in believing Luna's words!

Veronica interjected, "But that woman bears an uncanny resemblance to Mia. It's difficult not to mistake them for the same person at first glance. Besides, her background is still a mystery.

"As the matriarch of the Barrett family, don't you think you should be entitled to inquire? And her temperament, it's quite off-putting, wouldn't you agree?"

Feeling somewhat aggrieved, Sharon said, "Exactly. After all, I only asked a few questions. And let's be honest, who wouldn't be surprised by her appearance? Why does she have to look so much like Mia, of all people?"

Sharon finally put on a smile. "You're right."

Over the years, every young woman aspiring to marry Timothy would bend to her will. Except for Mia, back then!

Outside the café, Mia stormed out with her designer bag. She glanced over her shoulder and deliberately slowed her pace, anticipating Shelly to follow and provide an explanation.

Running into Timothy's mother today was unexpected. Nonetheless, Sharon's demeanor and speech were exactly as Mia had imagined.

Back then, as a commoner marrying into the affluent Barrett family, Mia had been oblivious to the life that awaited her.

Reflecting on this, a glimmer of resolve flashed in Mia's eyes. After all, she wasn't the same pushover she once was.

"Monalize, wait up!" Shelly called out just before the elevator doors opened.

A faint smile tugged at Mia's lips upon hearing Shelly's voice, but she quickly composed herself and replied sternly, "Shelly, let's call it a day. I'm heading back."
