Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 1173

Observing Sharon, Mia couldn't shake the realization that beneath her words lay a bedrock of selfish desires.

Having grown up in a household where boys were prioritized over girls, Sharon's longing for a son was deeply rooted.

Even upon learning of Timothy's illegitimate status, Sharon chose to feign ignorance to preserve her standing as a wealthy socialite.

Sharon's anger erupted as she scolded, "Mia, what nonsense are you spouting? Everything was in order before you arrived. Since you've been here, Tim has gone off track."

Mia retorted, "Are you secretly hoping to marry your son? Or is it because you know he's not your biological child? Despite your clear disdain for him, you still try to hide the truth from him and expect him to follow your every command.

"But he's proven himself to be quite independent, hasn't he? I can only imagine how much his defiance must hurt you."

Sharon's face twisted with frustration, unable to formulate a retort to Mia's accusations.

Undeterred, Mia continued, "Why the sudden silence? From the beginning, you've been driven by selfish motives, treating Timothy as nothing more than a means to an end. What makes you believe you have the right to manipulate him like this?"

Sharon asserted, "Well, firstly, I've been the one raising him since he was young. I've treated him as my flesh and blood, giving him the best education and pouring all my hopes into him.

"And what do I get in return? He turns out to be nothing but the illegitimate child of a mistress. If you were in my position, could you honestly say you'd handle it any differently?"

As Mia took in Sharon's distressed expression, she couldn't help but notice how Sharon seemed to age right before her eyes at that moment.

It was understandable. Facing such circumstances would overwhelm anyone.

All of a sudden, Mia's realization hit her like a bolt of lightning. "But why did you accuse me of disclosing Timothy's parentage to him?"
