Mia turned her attention to Sharon as she headed toward the entrance to greet the guest, her fondness for Nikki evident to all.
"Monalize, Ms. Chapman has been pursuing Tim for years, but he's not interested in her. There's no way they'll get together."
Mia cocked a brow. "But Mrs. Barrett invited Ms. Chapman here intentionally to remind me of my place and to back off."
It was easy to see through such a trick.
"When Tim arrives, he'll surely take your side, and Ms. Chapman will have no choice but to watch from the sidelines like a jealous outsider. Oh, right. Where is he? Why didn't he come with you?"
"We planned to arrive together, but he had an urgent matter arise at work, so I came ahead."
Mia didn't mind that at all. After all, her priority was to be at her newly opened private resort.
Sharon warmly welcomed the Chapmans, recognizing their importance to the day's festivities.
Nikki arrived gracefully in a white dress, presenting Sharon with a gift. "Happy birthday, Mrs. Barrett."
It was a diamond necklace.
Veronica exclaimed, "Sharon, see how thoughtful Ms. Chapman is. She's given you such an expensive gift! Unlike certain individuals who arrived empty-handed."
She was obviously implying Shelly and Mia.
Sharon waved off the remark. "It's the thought that counts. Gifts from strangers bear are of no significance to me."
Right then, Harriette joined the crowd. "Sharon, Shelly had prepared a present for you a while back. However, she accidentally left it at home. Here it is."
Shelly contemplated retrieving the bag, but Veronica beat her to it. "Sharon, just accept it. It's a gift from them. We're family, after all."
Sharon gladly took the bag, and Shelly felt like she was about to explode. Her plan to make a significant profit by selling the bag had been thwarted!
Mia couldn't help but tilt her head slightly as she observed Sharon accepting the imitation bag. What were the chances that the bag ended up in Sharon's possession? It seemed almost like fate.
Veronica's haughty gaze turned to Mia. "Ms. Monalize, what gift have you prepared for Sharon?"
The Chapmans turned their attention to Mia as well.
Nikki shrieked as soon as she saw Mia. "I-Is that Mia Bowen?"
Nikki had conducted a background check, so she knew what Timothy's ex-wife looked like. She couldn't believe her eyes.

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...
