Chapter 59
Within seconds. Timothy felt that Mia had become a stranger to him.
Mary sneered, “It’s one of those relationships, you know? Guys love jumping in to protect the girls as long as they sweetly call them their “big brothers” in the coyest way possible.”
Several of Mia’s “brothers” appeared and took the assets under Patricia’s name. They even got into a fight.
Mary was convinced that there was more to these “brothers’ than met the eye.
Timothy squinted, recalling the man who picked Mia up in his helicopter, and the mysterious man who paid the hospital ten years’ worth of hospital bills. Timothy still couldn’t identify those men until now. Could they be Mia’s “brothers”?
Not one to let Mary insult her brothers, Mia barked, “Holly, take them away. If they make a scene, ask the security to call the police.
Mary scowled, “Mia, you’re an ungrateful daughter. You ought to be slapped!”
Mildred slumped to the ground, “Oh, Lord! What have I done to deserve this granddaughter of mine? She abandoned her family as soon as she found a rich husband.”
Unfamiliar with the scene before her, Holly wasn’t sure what to do.
Mia was deeply embarrassed.
Timothy grabbed a mug nearby and smashed it against the ground.
He hollered, “Mia told you to leave. So leave!”
Timothy looked fearsome when he was angry.
Mia turned to look at Timothy incredulously. Was he trying to protect her?
However, Timothy’s foul mood managed to stop Mildred from continuing her antics.
She saw that Timothy was angry so she got up and left the house while making a fuss.
Mary was afraid of Timothy as well. Since Mildred had left, Mary figured that she should zip her mouth and make herself scarce.
Just like that, peace returned to the living room.
Mia looked at the shattered mug on the floor and smiled bitterly. “You can laugh at me now.”
