Liam sensed how good of an opportunity this was for the family.He cleared his throat and asked, "Mia, do you like interior designing?""That's right," Mia replied. "That was my major at college. At the time, I really wanted a home of my own. Plus, it's a well-paid career, so that's why I chose it back then."After hearing that Mia made her choice partly because of money, Liam felt an ache in his heart. "From now on, you have us. You don't need to worry about money.""Well, I can't rely on you guys forever. I got used to being independent a long time ago," Mia said.She didn't dwell on Liam's words. The two of them were currently in a car headed for the competition venue.Liam calmly took out his phone and gave a report in the group chat. "I've got news. Dominic, Mia wants to join the Fleur International Design Competition your company's organizing."Dominic shot back a reply. "Ask Mia if she likes being the winner."He was being serious.Liam was speechless.Dominic swiftly

As Mia put away her documents, she tutted and remarked, "Shelly, how is there no limit to your stupidity? Haven't you learned your lesson from the last time? "Did you come here so that I can give you a sound beating again? This explains the comments people make behind your back. I get it now."Shelly stomped her feet in rage. "I'm going to kill you, Mia!"Liam glared menacingly at Shelly as he growled, "Go on. Let's see if you dare. Do it, and I'll see if I can give your plastic surgeon another chance to give you a new nose."Terrified, Shelly shielded her nose and shut her mouth.Mia said to Liam, "Let's go. Aunt Patricia told me not to spend time with fools."Smoke was coming out of Shelly's ears. She secretly took a photo of Mia and Liam from behind before calling Maya. "Maya, didn't you tell the head of the organizing committee to close registrations a day early to stop Mia from joining?""That's right," Maya replied. "I spoke to the head of the committee. The registration

Mia returned home after registering for the competition. She started drafting her design.That night, her brothers, cousins, and Eva came by for dinner. They talked about her participating in the Fleur International Design Competition.Dominic's eyes lit up. "Do you like winning first place, Mia?"Mia was taken aback by this question. "I don't think anyone would dislike that."But who could be sure when it came to competitions? She could only try her best.Eva stomped on Dominic's foot. Then, she said, "Your brother just means that you'll definitely win first place since you're so good at this."Dominic nodded vigorously. He had to ensure Mia won first place. Even if there weren't a first place to win, he'd create one for her!What did principles matter when this had to do with his sister?Mia didn't think of this. She returned to her room to slave away at her designs. She could finally participate in this competition again after a number of years.Three years ago, she wouldn'

Why was the investigation inconclusive again?…Mia relaxed a little after finding out she'd made it to the finals. Then, she threw herself into preparing her designs for the final round. This time, she had to win first place.When she was almost done, she received a call from the hospital. "Am I speaking to Ms. Mia Bowen? It's time for you to come to the hospital for a prenatal checkup."Mia placed a hand on her belly. She'd almost forgotten that she was pregnant. She hadn't even told Patricia about this—she knew Patricia wouldn't agree to her keeping the baby. She decided to go for the prenatal checkup alone.When Mia stepped out of her room, she saw Liam standing on the balcony. He was on the phone with someone. He hurriedly hung up when he saw her. "Where are you going, Mia? I'll go with you.""Do you have something to attend to on set, Liam?""Nah, it's nothing important. One of the shows I was in is gonna start promoting soon, so they want me to make an appearance. I'm jus

Ultimately, Mia held out the pregnancy report to Sharon. "Go ahead and read it if you want. This is a report for myself. It has nothing to do with Timothy."Her heart was almost jumping out of her chest.Sharon eyed her for a while before scoffing. "C'mon, be frank with me. I bet you're here to get treated for infertility. How dare you accuse my son of being the one with the problem if you're here for that? I couldn't be bothered to look at your report. Why would I need to?"Mia relaxed a little. It looked like Sharon didn't suspect her of anything. She put up a calm front and said, "Forget it if you don't believe me.""Hold it. Do you have a guilty conscience because I caught you out? Honestly, you don't even need to treat your infertility. Once Timothy and Maya get married, they'll definitely have children of their own. Don't even dream of using a child to tie Timothy to you."Mia's gaze was mocking. "The thought hadn't even occurred to me. I wouldn't stoop that low."She put a

Liam said seriously, "I agree. There won't be any pressure on Mia if she doesn't know anything about our actual identities."Ultimately, Dominic gave in. Shortly after, Mia found that the competition's results had been announced on the official website. There was no mention of the placing, though.Mia received an invitation from the organizers to attend the awards ceremony next week. She sent a screenshot of the announcement on the website to Gina. "I made it through, but there aren't any rankings."Gina replied excitedly, "You have to be in the first place! It's weird that they've suddenly changed the rules this year, though."Mia found it weird as well. But it didn't really matter. This competition was only held once every three years, and many designers couldn't wait to win an award from it. After all, all the big names in the industry recognized this competition. It was a hefty accomplishment to place in such a competition."Mia, the people from Barrett Group have contacted me

"Three years ago, Uncle James got into an accident and needed a huge sum for his treatment. I quit the competition to work as a carer at a wealthy family." Mia didn't want to tell Dominic that she'd married Timothy.Liam said, "The awards ceremony is next week, right? Let's go get you something to wear for it, Mia."When it came to walking the red carpet and attending events, no one had more experience than him.Mia nodded.Dominic sighed to himself. The Lane family organized the Fleur International Design Competition, so he couldn't show himself for the time being. He didn't want to expose his identity and have Mia detest him. He had no choice but to allow Liam to go with Mia.However, Dominic and Liam had some work to attend to the following day. Mia could only have Eva accompany her to the mall.When they arrived at the mall, Mia looked around and saw that the products offered were extremely expensive. She tugged on Eva's sleeve and said, "The brands at this mall are all price

Shelly looked a little diffident. "What nonsense are you spouting?"How did Eva know about that?Mia didn't expect to hear about something like that. She pulled out her phone to show Shelly her invitation. "Take a good look at this—I'm attending the awards ceremony because my capabilities got me to where I am."I'm not like some people who only know how to pull strings and buy their way in because they don't have any skills to back themselves up."Shelly's blood boiled. She hadn't expected Mia to make it to the finals. She looked at the evening gowns the salesperson held. "Hey, you. Wrap all three of those dresses up for me."The salesperson looked conflicted. Shelly's expression darkened. "Did you not hear me? Wrap those dresses up for me. Don't you know who I am?""Yes, Ms. Barrett.""Hold it!" Eva stopped the salesperson. "We came first."Shelly laughed derisively. "So what? It's not like you can afford them. Why are you trying to make yourself seem better than you are?""W

None of the major shareholders was a fool.After that, Mia was busy handling Barrett Group affairs and barely had time to rest.With an exhausted look, she returned to the hospital.Mia looked at Timothy and said, "I'll run away if you don't wake up soon.""No… Please don't go…" Timothy grabbed her hand. His gaze was deep.Mia's eyes reddened as she gazed at the man who had just regained consciousness. Timothy finally came out of his coma.After that, everything was back to normal. Those who caused trouble quieted down.Sharon visited Timothy and told him that she was going to settle down overseas and would not come back anymore.Timothy bought her a property and gave her a huge sum of money before sending her away from Bern City.As for Maya, it was discovered that she was not the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island but merely his caregiver. Yet, she had been deceiving people outside.After Maya was exposed, she ran away dejectedly. Nobody knew where she was

Sage stood beside Timothy in silence.Soon, news that Timothy was hospitalized spread, and Barrett Group's stock plunged.The relatives of the Barrett family requested to hold a board meeting to elect another CEO.On the day of the board meeting, Mia brought her two children to Barrett Group.They managed to keep everyone on a leash as Sage bore a striking resemblance to Timothy.Mia marched into the meeting room, sat in Timothy's chair, and glanced at everyone present. "Let's begin. Didn't you all want to have a meeting?"One of the middle-aged men said, "Ms. Lane, this is the Barrett Group board meeting. It's not appropriate for you to be here.""That's right. Though the kids are Mr. Barrett's children, they're still young and do not have any shares. You all shouldn't be here."Mia flung a document onto the table. "This is an agreement signed by Grandma Laura to authorize me to manage Timothy's shares.""Anyway, we still need to elect a CEO to handle our company affairs.""

"Because to me, you're my family too," Timothy said.When Sharon heard the word 'family', her eyes turned red. Then, she turned around and left the ward.Mia walked out and asked Peyton to send Sharon to the hospital for a checkup.Looking at Sharon's back, Mia said, "I hope you don't let him down since he regards you as his family. He's the only one you can depend on now."Sharon did not turn her head around. Mia did not know if Sharon would listen to her advice.Mia immediately called her brother. "Dominic, I met Maya."She then told him everything about Maya.Dominic frowned. "I never thought she would go to Yellow Island.""Do you think she's really the granddaughter of the Prime Minister of Yellow Island?""Don't you know how good she is at lying?" Dominic said.Mia nodded. "Yeah, you're right. But I still don't know whether she's related to Yellow Island.""Don't worry, I'll find out."When Mia returned to the ward after ending the call, she saw a doctor bustling arou

Mia went straight to the hospital to ask Timothy about the matter.But when she arrived, someone had reached there earlier than her."Timothy, what do you mean? All I did was pull a few strings, but you want to humiliate me publicly. How am I going to maintain my standing in the company?" Sharon said.Mia went in with a frown. "This is funny. It's not just about pulling a few strings, but it's aimed at me. Mrs. Barrett, your actions have leaked confidential commercial information.""Stop trying to scare me. It's my son who opened doors for you. It's the Yellow Islanders who wanted to collaborate with us, and they are much better than you," Sharon retorted. Mia said with a half-hearted smile, "At first, I didn't want to pursue this matter. But since you put it this way, wait for my lawyer's letter then.""Such big talk, huh?" A mysterious-looking woman wearing a hat and a mask walked in from outside.Mia felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar. "Are you the rumored granddau
Meet My Brothers Chapter 1183
Mia glanced at the person on the screen. Without answering the woman, she turned off the laptop.After all, there was no need for Mia to explain anything.After Mia turned off the laptop assertively, she turned around and looked at Timothy. He did not say a word but started eating.Soon, Heath received a call. He left the ward and said to the woman on the other side of the phone, "She's Mr. Barrett's ex-wife. You'd better not mess with her."While Timothy was eating, Mia finished reading the proposal in her hand.She had to admit that the document was very valuable.Mia was about to leave the ward when Timothy almost finished eating, but his voice sounded behind her. "What did you say when you met her at the cafe earlier?""Did you follow me?""I followed her, to be exact. After all, the Hopkins are not good people."Mia totally agreed with that.She paused briefly before she said, "Grandma Laura asked me to talk to her because she doesn't agree with you about giving her all
Meet My Brothers Chapter 1182
"You don't know anything," Sharon said.Mia retorted, "I might not know everything, but Timothy is innocent. Before he knew the truth, he always regarded you as his mother. Even after he found out the truth, he has never mistreated you."Besides, when you said you wanted the Barrett family's wealth, he agreed. Tell me, who else could do what he did?"Mia felt that Timothy might have been hurt by Sharon's words.He seemed impressive on the outside, but his identity was a dark secret.Therefore, his relationship with Sharon became awkward.Sharon's eyes reddened. "But I also treat him like my biological son.""You're also his foster mother. Now everyone related to him is dead, and you're the only one he has. What are you afraid of?"Sharon wiped off her tears. "I'm not afraid of anything. It's just that I felt that I can't trust anyone.""Timothy is a man of his word. However, Grandma Laura said that if you remain stubborn, making the will public is her only option," Mia said.
Meet My Brothers Chapter 1181
Mia noticed Sharon's expression changing slightly when she mentioned Laura.Sharon took her cup of coffee and said, "What? Does Mrs. Barrett Senior still want to lecture me even when she's on her deathbed? She must have known Timothy's identity all along, but she conspired with her son to keep the truth from me. "She and the Barretts are birds of a feather. What else does she have to say?"Mia was not surprised by her words. She had expected that Sharon would certainly think this way.Fortunately, she managed to stop Laura when she said she wanted to meet Sharon.Sharon was emotionally unstable now. What if Laura said something unpleasant and Sharon retorted? Her words might upset Laura.Mia took a kraft envelope out of her handbag and placed it in front of Sharon. "I hope you won't regret saying those words after reading this.""What's this?""This is the will that your husband left behind, as well as the divorce agreement."Hearing that, Sharon quickly took the document out
Meet My Brothers Chapter 1180
Mia hesitated to risk exposing Laura to Sharon's potential agitation.Due to Sharon's emotional vulnerability, she often spoke impulsively. With Laura's delicate health in mind, any disruption was simply out of the question.As Laura recounted past events, Mia remained silent, absorbing her words.Upon hearing Laura's story, Mia was taken aback. She hadn't expected there to be hidden aspects to Timothy's family history.Taking a moment, she asked, "Does Timothy have any knowledge of this?""He doesn't. Some things are best kept from him," Laura replied calmly.Mia harbored some lingering questions in her mind. Unable to suppress them any longer, she asked, "Considering your knowledge of Timothy's background, what is your opinion of him?""Tim is a commendable young man, and he has never let our family down. He has achieved remarkably well for himself. To be honest, I feel indebted to him as well."At first, I only kept him around for the sake of preserving the Barrett family li
Meet My Brothers Chapter 1179
Despite her initial reluctance, Mia eventually found herself making her way to Timothy's ward.As she entered, she couldn't help but notice Timothy's expressionless demeanor as he lay there.Carrying a tray of food, Mia approached him. "The doctor pointed out your extreme fatigue. It's crucial that you increase your food intake and prioritize proper rest to reduce the risk of sudden complications."Upon hearing Mia's voice, Timothy lifted his gaze to find her seated beside him. His lips moved slightly as he asked, "What did you tell Luna?""Not much," Mia responded. "Just a sprinkle of salt on the wound and a dash of psychological pressure to make sure Luna doesn't have it easy in prison."Placing the tray of food in front of him, Mia urged, "Please, just a few bites.""I'll eat later. By the way, the kids have been here at the hospital for quite a while. You should take them home," Timothy suggested.Frowning, Mia insisted, "You should eat something first."As her words faded,
