Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 1054

Luna had only herself to blame for her own misdeeds.

Jasmine, however, would vow to protect everything Alison had established. She absolutely wouldn't let her scumbag father surrender it all to a bastard born out of wedlock.

The surgery ended swiftly, and Alison was wheeled out. She was still unconscious with an oxygen mask on.

Staring at Alison's frail frame, Mia lamented over her fate. Her family's conundrum had yet to end, and both Jasmine and her would be in deep waters if Luna defeated Jasmine.

Jasmine wiped her tears away. "Rest assured, Mom. I won't let Luna's little bastard return to the Shelbert family and take everything from us."

Mia thought about Jasmine's predicament after she left the hospital. She wondered if Jasmine could truly pull herself together.

Just then, Peyton turned toward her and said, "Ms. Lane, the CEO of Barrett Group is inviting us to collaborate on the hotel project again. The terms offered in their proposal actually seem quite appealing. This market has yet to develop in Bern City, so we'll definitely reel in significant revenue if we work with Barrett Group."

"I guess that's a yes, then. But we can't just accept their proposal right away—that'll put us at a disadvantage. They have Bern City wrapped around their finger, after all. Why don't we organize an investment banquet and let them know that we're looking for a partner to work on the hotel project? Those who are interested in the collaboration will be invited."

"Ms. Lane, won't your identity as the hotel owner be revealed if you show up at the banquet? Didn't you mention that you want to keep it a secret?"

"Yes, but times have changed. Keeping my identity a secret doesn't matter anymore. But still, I won't reveal my identity before finalizing the deal. Showing up at the banquet doesn't mean I'm the owner, right?"

"You're right, Ms. Lane. I'll get to work now. Our hotel has been thriving in Nord City, and many people have been eager to work with us. Their efforts were to no avail, though. I'm sure a lot of them will scramble for invitations to our banquet once the collaboration news gets out."

Mia nodded. Suddenly reminded of Luna's tattooed ankle, she frowned and said, "Look into what happened to Luna's tattoo on her ankle. Was it really removed due to a burn?"

"Got it. Where to next, Ms. Lane? Back home or somewhere else?"

"Take me to the research institute."

Mia figured that she would definitely be greeted with Dominic's lecture if she returned to the Lane residence. In that case, she'd rather accompany Sage at the research institute. It was merely a few days until his discharge from the institute.

On her way to the research institute, she texted Eva to inform her that she was going to keep Sage company that night. She didn't want her family to worry.

Sneaking into the research institute with a gift, Mia planned to surprise Sage.

Sage was currently planted in front of his computer, engaging in a fierce face-off with Timothy on the other end. His attempt to hack the scumbag's computer with his friends last time failed miserably, and he was determined to settle the score now.
