Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Chapter 191
Mia couldn’t help but chuckle at Sharon’s surprised expression.
Truth be told, Timothy had only used that claim to brush off Mia’s adoptive parents, who had showed up looking for cash.
Mia didn’t expect him to turn it into a retort against Sharon, without any hint of respect.
His gaze was shifted to Mia the next second, causing a hitch in her breath.
She thought it was weird of him to look at her since she wasn’t the one who said that.
Timothy questioned her coldly, “Why did you transfer 100 thousand dollars to me?”
Mia was taken aback by his question. “I was repaying your mother. Since I didn’t have her contact, I
transferred it to you. Please help me transfer it to your mother.”
He glanced at Sharon. “What happened?”
“Tim, Mia’s adoptive parents came seeking money. I gave them 100 thousand dollars to get rid of them. It’s
not that much anyways,” Sharon answered nonchalantly.
His brows furrowed. “You shouldn’t have done that.”
He knew that Mia’s adoptive parents were opportunistic. To put it bluntly, they were “human leeches“. If they

succeeded once, they would keep coming back for more.
“Tim, I know you think it’s not worth it. Just consider it a good riddance,” Sharon tried to convince him.
He pursed his lips, not uttering a word. He didn’t say it wasn’t worth the purpose, it was just a mistake to give them money in the
first place!
Mia sneered, “If there’s nothing else, I should get going. If they come again, don’t let them in.”
She left without looking back.
It was dark outside. Public transport wasn’t available in the neighborhood, and hailing a cab was impossible.
Soon, a luxury car pulled up beside her. The driver rolled down the window. “I’ll drive you home, Mrs. Barrett.”
“There’s no need for that,” She hesitated before answering.
The driver insisted, “You won’t find a cab here, Mrs. Barrett. Let me take you home. I have to bring Mr. Barrett
something anyway.”
Mia walked for a while before realizing that getting a cab was futile. In the end, she reluctantly got into the car.
Between safety and pride, safety prevailed.
An awkward atmosphere hung in the air as she glanced at the driver. “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.”

He glimpsed at Mia from the rearview mirror. A sigh of relief escaped his lips.
If he had failed his mission to pick Mia up, he wouldn’t know how to convey the news to his boss.
At a red light, he took out his phone to message Heath. ‘Mrs. Barrett’s in the car.‘
Upon receiving the message, Heath rushed upstairs only to stumble upon a heated argument between Timothy and Sharon in
his room.
Sharon couldn’t understand Timothy. She protested, “Tim, you’ve divorced Mia. Why can’t you clean up the walk–in closet? It
would be embarrassing if Maya moves in and sees this.”
Timothy’s patience was running thin. “Mom, this is just a deal. A fake engagement. I won’t actually marry her.”
“That’s absurd, Tim. What’s wrong with Maya? She’s got the looks and the background. Besides, her obedience and maturity
make her the ideal wife for you. She could elevate our family to new heights too. Forget about the fake engagement, Tim. You
two should make it real.”
Sharon couldn’t understand him at all. If he could accept someone like Mia, why can’t he accept Maya?.
He rubbed his temple, clearly annoyed by his mum’s sentiments. “Mom, I’m not three, but 30. I have my own life. Don’t just barge
into my room whenever. And don’t judge how I live!”
Timothy was infuriated, and this ticked Sharon off. “You’re my son! Why can’t I check on you?”
“Now that you’ve ‘checked on me‘, you can leave now.” He escorted her out of the bedroom and slammed the door, standing firm
against her demands.
Despite the anger, she felt powerless against Timothy. “The engagement is this weekend. Behave yourself. Maya’s family is no
ordinary bunch. Don’t get on their bad side.”
