Meet My Brothers

Who would've guessed that Mia's ex-husband was so striking and wealthy?

After her divorce from him, Mia certainly wouldn't settle for just anyone.

Timothy's expression turned icy as he questioned Diane, "Did you arrange for my ex-wife to meet him?"

Under Timothy's penetrating gaze, Diane recoiled, her words faltering, "I, um, couldn't help but notice Ms. Lane's remarkable strength in raising two children on her own-it's quite an accomplishment, isn't it? I simply thought introducing her to someone might lighten her load."

Mia's expression turned scornful as she glanced at Diane. "I manage perfectly well on my own, and I've never relied on a man to ease any burdens. However, it appears that some individuals have less than honorable intentions, wouldn't you agree?"

Perhaps Mia's financial stability and orphaned status, combined with Patricia's gentle and easily influenced nature, made them a prime target for exploitation.

Addressing Patricia, Mia advised, "Moving forward, it's important to be more selective about who you befriend.

"Some people are only interested in exploiting your kindness, assuming you're an easy target. Do they seriously think no one in our family can see through their schemes?"

Mia had heard whispers about certain nosy neighbors in Patricia's neighborhood who had a knack for taking advantage of others.

Knowing Patricia's hesitation to turn people away, they would often prolong their visits whenever her family's doctor arrived, hoping to receive complimentary check-ups. Each time this happened, Patricia felt too embarrassed to speak up.

With the family doctor simply obeying Dominic's instructions and never voicing objections, this inadvertently emboldened these neighbors further.

Despite Patricia's clear rejections of Diane's matchmaking attempts, Diane persistently introduced people to her doorstep, disregarding boundaries and showing a lack of respect. Hence, Mia firmly resolved to directly confront these troublesome neighbors, determined to shield Patricia from any further exploitation.

Nodding in agreement, Patricia confessed, "Mia, I never anticipated they would be so bold as to behave in this manner."

In the past, everyone had maintained a relatively harmonious relationship, making it challenging for Patricia to assert herself.

However, what Diane did today was utterly unacceptable. While Patricia could endure mistreatment directed at herself, witnessing Diane manipulate Mia was a boundary she refused to tolerate.

After expressing her frustration, Patricia turned to Diane and declared, "Leave at once, and never set foot in our home again!"

Upon hearing this, Diane's pride

suffered a visible blow. "What makes your family so exceptional anyway? You're just a widow, after all! leame here with sincere intentions, thinking it was a gesture of respect. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

unfortunate they're divorced now, so what significance does it have for you?"

QUMS

Adding fuel to the fire, Noah joined in after Diane's outburst. "Exactly! With my mom being assaulted so severely, I'll definitely press charges against you. Just wait and see!"

Unfazed, Heath calmly handed out his business card. "No problem. Feel free to contact me anytime."

Noah's eyes widened in astonishment as he read Heath's title on the card. "Y-You're the secretary to the CEO of Barrett Group?"

Heath remained composed as he looked at Noah. "Is there a problem with that?"

Noah glanced back at Heath before turning to Timothy beside him. "And who might this be?"
