Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 1125

Mia couldn't ignore Timothy's intense stare, yet she maintained her composure, confident that she hadn't misspoken.

Despite the option of a life of ease, she persisted in her relentless efforts, solely for the security of her children's future.

Keen to incite conflict, Luna deliberately interjected, "Tim, take a look at this," she taunted. "It appears your sincerity is lost on others."

If Luna could drive a wedge between them and convince Timothy to transfer his assets to Asher, she would secure her future indefinitely.

Timothy, however, swiftly dismissed Luna's provocation. "Enough. Since when have you earned the right to address me like that? Are we even remotely close?"

Luna's pride took a hit, yet she persisted, refusing to yield. "Mr. Barrett, I'm simply offering advice. Sometimes, blood ties hold little weight. If the Lane family regards you so poorly, why subject yourself to their indifference?"

Timothy's tone turned cold. "Luna, spare me your schemes. I'm well aware of your intentions. Since you've failed to raise Asher properly, there's no reason for you to be near him."

"Timothy, your audacity is astounding," Luna retorted. "Have you forgotten Asher's position as the mayor's grandson? Why would he even consider returning to the Barrett family with you?

"Who's to say you won't discard him later? Remaining here offers him a promising future. Besides, Asher is no fool. He knows how to choose wisely."

Clasping Asher's hand tightly, Luna fixed Timothy and Mia with a determined gaze. "Just watch. Asher and I will carve out a far superior life than either of you."

Mia's laughter burst forth abruptly, her eyes filled with disdain as she regarded Luna. "I'm intrigued by your unwavering confidence. Is it solely because you're Mr. Shelbert's illegitimate daughter?

"Even if Asher were to rise to the position of the mayor's grandson in the future, what significance would it truly hold?

"How does the influence of the Shelbert family measure up against that of the Lane family? Don't presume that the Lane family's deference to Mr. Shelbert translates into fear."
