Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 741

Mia turned her attention to Sharon as she headed toward the entrance to greet the guest, her fondness for Nikki evident to all.

"Monalize, Ms. Chapman has been pursuing Tim for years, but he's not interested in her. There's no way they'll get together."

Mia cocked a brow. "But Mrs. Barrett invited Ms. Chapman here intentionally to remind me of my place and to back off."

It was easy to see through such a trick.

"When Tim arrives, he'll surely take your side, and Ms. Chapman will have no choice but to watch from the sidelines like a jealous outsider. Oh, right. Where is he? Why didn't he come with you?"

"We planned to arrive together, but he had an urgent matter arise at work, so I came ahead."

Mia didn't mind that at all. After all, her priority was to be at her newly opened private resort.

Sharon warmly welcomed the Chapmans, recognizing their importance to the day's festivities.

Nikki arrived gracefully in a white dress, presenting Sharon with a gift. "Happy birthday, Mrs. Barrett."

It was a diamond necklace.

Veronica exclaimed, "Sharon, see how thoughtful Ms. Chapman is. She's given you such an expensive gift! Unlike certain individuals who arrived empty-handed."

She was obviously implying Shelly and Mia.

Sharon waved off the remark. "It's the thought that counts. Gifts from strangers bear are of no significance to me."

Right then, Harriette joined the crowd. "Sharon, Shelly had prepared a present for you a while back. However, she accidentally left it at home. Here it is."
