Mia propped her chin up. "I was wondering what to do with them. If you guys take it upon yourselves to handle the matter, what is there left for me to do then?"
It felt better to do it herself than to have someone else do the work for her.
Due to her capable brothers, she often felt useless because there was nothing for her to do; her brothers would always teach those bad guys a lesson in her stead!
Connor ruffled her hair. "Mia, you're our sister. It is normal for us to want to deal with this kind of matters for you. All you have to do is be the Lane family's princess, free from woes. No one can bully you. Only you can bully others."
Her family's love for her knew no limits.
It was fortunate that she didn't grow up spoiled.
Connor withdrew his hand, although he hadn't had enough of patting her head. "I heard that the Bowens are going to work with the Barretts to confront us. Is that right?"
Noticing the hostility in his tone, she coughed. "I asked Timothy about it, but he doesn't know anything about this. It could be an independent decision from his subsidiary in Nord City. However, the subsidiary only works on small projects with the Bowen family. It's not enough to confront us. I think they're bluffing."
"Mia, do you believe in Timothy's words?"
"Me believing his words or not isn't the main point. The main point is, they've never met Timothy before at all. Timothy saw the Bowens when he was working as my bodyguard. None of them could recognize him, so we have reasons to believe that they're lying about working together with the Barretts."
Connor snorted. "But this is the Barrett Group we're talking about. Timothy must have something to do with this."
Connor thought that as long as the Barrett family was involved in all of this, Timothy had to be responsible!
At this point, Mia didn't know what to say anymore.
