Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen novel Chapter 854

Mia responded bluntly, "Whether it's a deal or not, that's for the police to determine. Coming to me won't change anything."

"Mia, stop skirting around the issue. If you hadn't dispatched your bodyguards and lawyers, do you think Harper would have dared to involve the police and threaten Chuck with a lawsuit?

"You'd better withdraw your personnel now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Mia chuckled mockingly. "Well then, I'm curious to see how you plan to be 'impolite' with me."

Lately, the Bowens had been pushing boundaries, even speaking disrespectfully to Mia!

It seemed they had completely lost their minds!

Lewis softened his tone as he stepped forward, fixing his gaze on Mia. "It's been quite some time. Are you still upset? Is that why you're intentionally causing these issues to catch my attention?"

Mia's expression twisted in a mix of shock and disbelief upon hearing Lewis' accusations. "Who gave you the audacity to say such things?"

How could she possibly be angry with Lewis and resort to such lengths just to get his attention? He wasn't foolish, after all!

"Mia, there's no need for pretense. Since our families proposed our marriage alliance, I've had no involvement with that woman from the bar. She was the one pursuing me, but nothing happened between us."

Mia wore a look of innocence as she shrugged and responded, "So what?"

"So, let me get this straight. You vanished from Nord City out of nowhere, spent ages gallivanting around Xanier Island and Bern City, and then returned with a penniless bodyguard in tow, all just to spread these rumors and get a rise out of me?

"Is that your idea of grabbing my attention, trying to provoke me? Honestly, I've seen through that tactic far too many times."

Mia found herself momentarily caught off guard, unsure of how to respond.

It was clear to her that the Bowen family held rather peculiar mentalities.

Mia couldn't help but ponder if the families of the women who had married into the Bowen family lacked sound judgment. How else could they willingly become involved with such an eccentric household?

"Just imagine how many people you must have inadvertently terrified with that grotesque face of yours."

Mia's words pierced Lewis like a dagger, leaving him stripped of his dignity.

Accustomed to a life of privilege and praise, Lewis had never faced such harsh criticism before.

Mia's cutting remarks sparked a surge of humiliation within him, stoking the flames of his anger as he moved forward with the intention of retaliating.

But just as he was about to act, a strong hand intervened, halting Lewis in his tracks.

With a stern expression, Timothy's cold gaze bore into him as he commanded, "Back off!"

As Lewis glared at Timothy, a contemptuous sneer contorted his lips. "Mia, so it appears you've decided to associate with this pauper now, have you?"
