Semua Bab Meet My Brothers: Bab 281 - Bab 290

Only then did Connor wrap his head around the situation—the woman who tied the knot with the unconscious Timothy back then was Mia, his sister!The sheer thought of it sent a wave of emotions through Connor. He was angry and remorseful.Maya wished to get married to Timothy but was stopped by Dominic. In the end, she shrugged off the idea probably because she assumed that Timothy would die.Then, the Barretts announced that someone was willing to get married to Timothy.Connor regretted it now. Things would've been better if they found Mia three years ago.Mia's guilt pricked her conscience. "I know that I was wrong. We weren't close in the beginning, so I didn't know how to bring it up. Plus, we were considering a divorce at that time, thinking that it was best to end things sooner."On top of that, the Barretts were a prestigious family in Bern City. Mia didn't want to cause her brothers trouble, hence the decision to keep them in the dark.She lifted her head. "I'm sorry. I

Mia caught on Connor's expression and something seemed off to her. "Connor, you're acting out of character today.""Am I? It's probably because of work," Connor attempted to brush it off. "Go ahead. You have a meeting, don't you? I'll keep Mrs. Barrett Senior company," Mia decided not to pry further. He nodded. "I'll take you to the hospital for a prenatal checkup in the afternoon."Watching her getting close to the Barrett family was the last thing he asked for, but he was aware of how attached Mia could be. Before the Lane brothers began taking care of Mia, Laura looked after her so he couldn't force her to leave Laura.Everything would be settled once he brought her out of Nord City, away from the Barretts.Mia watched Connor take the stairs to the floor beneath. A faint sigh escaped her lips.After washing some fruits, she headed to the patient's room. The door opened the moment she approached the door.Timothy walked out of the room, standing right in front of her. His

Connor nodded. "I'm not the only person involved in this surgery. I hope you guys can cooperate with me."The casual conversation lasted a few moments before the crowd dispersed from the meeting room.Connor was planning to leave when Timothy's steely voice resounded from behind. "Dr. Lane, wait up."Connor pursed his lips at that. He turned around begrudgingly and looked at Timothy coldly. "Anything?"Timothy marched a few steps forward. It was a face-to-face confrontation where no one intended to back off.A moment later, Timothy broke the silence. "Dr. Lane, I'm grateful that you're willing to perform the surgery for my grandmother. But I hope you can keep a safe distance from Mia. She's still my wife.""She's your wife? How shameless of you. The divorce procedure will take place after the surgery, right?"Timothy narrowed his eyes. "I didn't say that before.""Are you going to go against your word, Timothy Barrett?" Connor grabbed Timothy by the collar with a cold expressio

"Why should I? Mia Bowen, you're bearing another man's child, aren't you? Is it this guy? I've got you this time!"Wilhelmina's words struck Mia as absurd. "What does my pregnancy have to do with you? What are you going to do with my stuff?""It's useless to me, but someone else might need it. Shelly is very interested in this. Say, how much will she pay me if I give it to her?"Mia's visage shifted slightly. "This is not Shelly's baby. It's useless if you give it to her. Is getting pregnant against the law? So what if you disclose this information to the public?"Wilhelmina paused because Mia's words made sense. Wilhelmina stole a glance at the ultrasound report. In retrospect, Shelly showed telltale interest the moment Wilhelmina claimed that there was a possibility Mia was pregnant. It was as if this was a huge catch!While Wilhelmina stayed silent, Connor went up to take the report back from her. "Hey, if you have a death wish, I won't hold myself back. Is staying behind

That was the start of Mia's journey in hacking. Since then, she has made tremendous progress in her learning.Nathan could see through her feeble excuse easily, and he was confident that she was trying to hack into a company's system.He replied calmly, "Easy. Do as I taught you. Huge companies normally have programmers to safeguard their systems. Once they notice their system is hacked, they'll begin the counter. You have to look for a safe firewall for your IP address. That way, they won't be able to track you down.""I have the program you gave me. There shouldn't be any problem.""That can't guarantee anything. I'll send you a new one. This should work."Mia fell silent for a moment. "Thanks, Nathan."Not only did Nathan see through her intentions and keep quiet about it, but he also shared with her a new program."Save it. Hit me up if you're stuck at something.""Okay."Soon after the call ended, he shared a zip file, which she downloaded into a USB drive.The next day,
