Meet My Brothers

“Don’t mention it. We’re a family anyway. Don’t overwork yourself, alright?” Dominic said to Mia before hanging up. Then, he turned to glare at the other attendees with an impassive face. “What are you staring at? If the reports come back as shitty as this month’s, all of you will be fired.”

The top management level looked at each other, wondering who called Dominic just now.

Could it be his wife? Because one moment, Dominic was the flame-breathing devil incarnate. The next

moment, he was all loving and caring.

Meanwhile, after Mia hung up, she jotted down the money she owed Dominic. She recalled what Mary said

and realized that she could use her prize money to take out a loan and purchase a better apartment. Patricia’s rheumatism could use a dryer environment.

Once Mia made up her mind, she went to Patricia’s room to share her plan with Patricia.

Patricia was moved. “Mia, I agree that you should get a place for yourself. It gives you a sense of security. And when you have a husband, you won’t be completely dependent on him.”

“Aunt Patricia, I won’t remarry.”

“Foolish girl You have your brothers to fall back on now. You can find someone that matches your status. There’s no need to be afraid. Don’t rule out that possibility now. I’ll keep an eye out for any eligible bachelors for you.”

Mia smiled wryly. She rubbed her tummy. When she made the decision to keep the baby, she had already told herself that she wouldn’t get married again.

The next day, Mia went to work.

As soon as she sat down on her seat, Wilhelmina stormed to her in a staccato of high heels. “Mia, you did it on purpose!”

Mia took a bite of her breakfast and replied calmly, “Did what?”

“Stop acting. You told me to supervise that project of yours yesterday. But it was all a trap you set up to make me look bad.”

Wilhelmina recalled the admonishment she received yesterday and felt wronged.

She’d dolled herself up for nothing!

Mia blinked innocently. “You volunteered. What did I do?”

Wilhelmina’s face twitched uncontrollably, unable to find any rebuttal. She then stormed away.

Mia finished her breakfast. She knew that Wilhelmina was the one who sold her out to Shelly.

That was why Shelly came with Sharon to publicly humiliate her.

However, Mia was no longer the punching bag. She’d learned to bite back.

In the afternoon, several officers in uniform came to the studio. “Who is the owner of this place?”

Wilhelmina appeared. “The owner isn’t here. How can I help?”

“We’re the authorities. We’ve received complaints that your studio is involved in false advertising.”

“Impossible. We have a good reputation. Who reported us?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Did you provide your services to a certain mansion? Its owner lodged a complaint.”

Mansion? Mia put two and two together and she jumped from her seat.

That jerk reported her to the authorities? How dare he!

Wilhelmina sneered and turned to point at Mia. “Oh, that’s her project. You can question her if you want.”

Mia stood on the spot as the officers approached her. “Yes, I did work for that client.”

“Please come with us, ma’am.” Mia nodded and followed the officers while cursing Timothy internally.

In the end, the officers added, “I know disagreements will arise when it comes to a project like this. But you should communicate better. He paid the deposit, didn’t he?”

“You’re right, Mr. Officer. I’ll talk to him.”

As soon as Mia left the place, she immediately called Timothy. She demanded an explanation.
