Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 563

Upon hearing Timothy's words, Mia looked at him with surprise. "Why are you asking about that?"

Timothy turned to her, explaining, "You once mentioned that I didn't understand you well enough. I'm trying to learn more about your past."

Mia felt utterly bewildered. When had she ever made such comments?

Perhaps she had in the past, but that was prior to their divorce. Now that they were no longer married, she couldn't be bothered about such things.

Jeremy chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Barrett. Mia and I were classmates in high school. Mia was renowned for her exceptional academic performance, which earned her the favor of our teachers, who took special care of her."

Mia couldn't help but interject, "That's only because my family wasn't well-off. The teachers felt a sense of responsibility toward me."

"Mia, you shouldn't say that. Don't take Ramona's comments at the reunion to heart. She's just envious and superficial.

"Back in school, she couldn't handle the fact that you were academically successful, beautiful, and favored by the teachers. Her jealousy led her to slander and undermine you during the reunion."

Timothy's demeanor turned cold. "Was Mia bullied at the reunion?"

Jeremy swiftly clarified, "Mr. Barrett, we had a classmate named Ramona Tilbert who envied Mia, resulting in tension between them.

"Fortunately, Mia now has the support of her family, and Ramona is facing the consequences. Her family's business is now struggling to meet payroll, and her father faces allegations of financial misconduct."

Mia was surprised by the rapid turn of events. It seemed that Claude hadn't updated her on this matter.

Timothy's brow furrowed slightly once more. He was aware that Mia's family had the situation under control, leaving no need for his intervention.

Nonetheless, this left Timothy feeling somewhat frustrated.

The meal surprisingly remained pleasant, largely thanks to Jeremy's efforts to mediate.
