Meet My Brothers

Mia sat on the couch. Ivan bandaged her hand before instructing. “For the next few days, avoid letting your wound come into contact with water. You need to let the wound heal first.”

“Mia, tell me how you got injured,” Laura said.

Mia glanced at Maya. The latter’s eyes shifted evasively.

Sharon immediately cried out, “What do you mean by that, Mia? An accident? Don’t tell me you’re trying to frame Maya. She was just kind enough to try and help you. She got injured, too.”

“Shut up!” Laura snapped loudly. “Who allowed you to speak?”

Sharon clammed up at once, though her expression was unpleasant. Laura, her mother-in-law, had always

disliked her. Instead, Laura favored Mia, a woman from a poor background.

In the end, Mia calmly answered, “It was just an accident, Grandma. I got distracted while I was making some

soup.”

Her explanation made Timothy’s eyes grow thoughtful. Why wasn’t Mia making a fuss when Laura was here to

stand up for her?

“Oh, you silly goose. We’ve plenty of people who can cook for us. I told you not to cook anymore, but you

refused to listen to me,” Laura chided.

Mia lowered her eyes. She didn’t try to speak further on the subject. Even though she knew Laura had her

back, she suddenly decided not to let Laura worry about this matter.

Just then, Maya approached Laura and said, “How have you been feeling lately, Mrs. Barrett Senior? I brought

a lot of health supplements for you. They’re good for your body.”

Mia stood in silence beside Laura.

“Haven’t I told you not to come over anymore, Ms. Lane?” Laura asked in a polite but distant tone. “We’re having a family dinner tonight, so I won’t keep you for dinner.”

Maya could barely keep her expression neutral. She was the daughter of the Lane family. When had she ever

faced such disrespect?

The old hag was being too rude!

For a brief moment, Maya’s gaze was stormy, but she kept her smile going. “In that case, I’ll drop by to visit

you some other time, Mrs. Barrett Senior.

“Once my brother Connor frees up his schedule, he can come over to perform your surgery. You’ll be able to make a full recovery. Tim won’t have to worry about you anymore.”

“I’m feeling just fine,” Laura scoffed icily. “I don’t need any surgery. Let’s go, Mia. It’s time for dinner.”.

Mia was a little anxious. She knew Laura didn’t want to push her into a difficult position. But how could she bear to let Laura turn down the chance of a full recovery just for her sake?

“Grandma, I left my phone in the kitchen. I’ll go and look for it.”

Mia wanted to find a place to calm down and sort through her thoughts.

Soon after entering the kitchen, Mia heard Maya’s voice ringing out behind her. “Don’t tell me you really snuck in here to get the security footage.”

Maya had come over, and Shelly was standing beside her.

“It’s too late. I just deleted all of the old footage and turned off the security camera in here,” Shelly gloated.”

No one can prove what happened just now.”

“Is that so?” Mia remarked.

Her expression was different, but her gaze was cold. “That makes things a lot easier then.”

Maya lifted her chin haughtily and said, “Now that the footage is gone, there’s no proof. Who’s going to believe your claims?”

“Since there’s no evidence, and the security cameras are turned off, that’s precisely why things are a lot easier

for me,” Mia said.`

She picked up a nearby spatula and whacked both Shelly and Maya with it.

The two young women couldn’t avoid her. All they could do was shriek their heads off. Soon, they were in tears.

Mia stood in the doorway to stop the women from escaping as she taught them a lesson.

Once she was done, she fixed her hair and adjusted her clothes before saying, “Since there’s no security

camera in here, no one will believe what you say.”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
