Mia said icily, "Are you sober now?"
Louisa covered her stinging face and stared at Mia in disbelief. "You dared to hit me. Don't you know who I am?" As a Yellow Islander, she had never experienced such humiliation before.
Mia rubbed her wrist. "I know who you are. But regardless of your identity, anyone causing trouble at the research institute will face the same consequences."
Louisa's voice sharpened. "You're finished. I won't let you off the hook. I'll have you captured, tortured, and flayed alive. You won't beg for life, but you'll beg for death."
Despite her threats, it was all in vain. Every bodyguard she had brought with her had been defeated and rendered immobile.
Mia turned to Peyton and instructed, "Take her and her bodyguards to the police station. Also, make copies of the building's surveillance footage.
"Inform the authorities that these individuals from Yellow Island have instigated a disturbance at the research institute, perpetrated assault, and intentionally injured others."
Louisa remained defiant. "You dare to lay a hand on me? Have you considered the consequences?
"I am the esteemed guest invited by Mr. Shelbert. If you send me to the police, someone will come looking for you immediately. Do you think you can escape the consequences?"
"Esteemed guest invited by Mr. Shelbert?" Mia narrowed her eyes.
Nord City's stance on Yellow Island had long been ambiguous. Suddenly, Raymond extended invitations to individuals from Yellow Island. She couldn't help but wonder if he was attempting to gain favor with Yellow Island.
"So, does that mean there are no laws on Yellow Island?" Mia asked.
"What a joke! Does Yellow Island even need laws? Our traditions have been passed down from generation to generation. We're not as backward as you think," Louisa snapped.
Mia's lips curled with contempt. "But didn't the Yellow Island governor recently make peace statements in the global news? He claimed they've modernized and moved beyond feudal rule."
"Pff, those words are just to appease the masses. We're born of noble lineage and in a different league altogether from commoners."
Mia's smile widened. "With Yellow Island's sizable population, you keep harping on about noble lineage. So, what's your actual status?"

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...
