Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Chapter 30

As Mia put away her documents, she tutted and remarked, “Shelly, how is there no limit to your stupidity? Haven’t you learned your lesson from the last time?

“Did you come here so that I can give you a sound beating again? This explains the comments people make behind your back. I get it now.”

Shelly stomped her feet in rage. “I’m going to kill you, Mia!”

Liam glared menacingly at Shelly as he growled, “Go on. Let’s see if you dare. Do it, and I’ll see if I can give your plastic surgeon another chance to give you a new nose.”

Terrified, Shelly shielded her nose and shut her mouth.

Mia said to Liam, “Let’s go. Aunt Patricia told me not to spend time with fools.”

Smoke was coming out of Shelly’s ears. She secretly took a photo of Mia and Liam from behind before calling Maya. “Maya, didn’t you tell the head of the organizing committee to close registrations a day early to stop Mia from joining?”

“That’s right,” Maya replied. “I spoke to the head of the committee. The registration period should’ve closed

yesterday.”

“Well, I came over today just so I could laugh at Mia, but guess what I saw?” Shelly huffed. “The registration period didn’t end yesterday. Today’s the last day, and because of that, that bitch Mia got to ridicule me! I was

so humiliated!” novelbin

“That’s impossible.”

Maya frowned. How could this be? She had already given her instructions to the person in charge.

“Maya, you should check to see what went wrong. Get the guy to reject Mia’s application and ban her from joining the competition. I must get even with her!” Shelly insisted.

After ending the call, Maya called the head of the organizing committee and asked sternly, “Didn’t I tell you to close the registrations for the competition yesterday?”

“I was going to do as you instructed, Ms. Lane, but Mr. Lane specifically said we’re not allowed to close the

registrations a day early.

“We’re to follow the deadline that had been set in advance. We had no choice but to comply with the order,” the person explained.

After hearing that, Maya ended the call and threw the document she was holding onto the floor.

She cursed to herself. Everything had been going so smoothly. Why did something happen at the last minute to ruin her plan?

All she could do was seethe in rage at how lucky Mia was.

Maya knew that Dominic didn’t like other people messing around at work, so she dared not do anything too

She had no choice but to swallow her anger and accept this outcome. She called Shelly and explained the

situation.

Shelly was furious. “Well, it’s whatever. After all, Mia barely knows anything about interior design anyway. Even if she manages to register for the competition, she won’t make it past the first round!”

Maya agreed with Shelly, Plus, she would keep a close eye on the first round and make sure Mia had no chance to stand out from other contestants.

She wanted Mia to spend the rest of her life in poverty!

“Maya, I’ve got something to tell you. A man accompanied Mia to the venue just now. It seemed like they were pretty close. Maybe he’s Mia’s new boyfriend,” Shelly speculated.

Maya’s eyes lit up. “What did he look like?”

“I took a photo of them from behind. The man was wearing a mask and a hat. He was being so secretive-just like a celebrity in disguise-but I’m sure it’s because he’s not fit to be seen in public. Do you want to take a

look at the photo?”

“No need, but make sure you don’t let Timothy see this photo. Otherwise, he’ll definitely misunderstand Mia,” Maya said meaningfully before ending the call.

She figured the foolish Shelly would’ve gotten the hint.

True enough, Shelly was pondering Maya’s words. If Timothy found out about the photo, he would be

infuriated!

That would mean hell for Mia, right?

Shelly’s eyes flashed viciously. She immediately sent the photo to Timothy. “Timothy, Mia came to register for the competition today, and I saw her being very intimate with a man! I doubt they’re just ordinary friends!”

Once that was done, Shelly scoffed. She was sure Mia was done for now.

Timothy had been busy with work when he received the message from Shelly. When he saw the photo, his eyes darkened.

After staring at it for quite some time, he couldn’t figure out who the man was.

He sent the photo to Heath before setting his phone down and saying, “Find out who that man is.”

Heath glanced at the photo. “Mr. Barrett, it’s not going to be easy to identify him with just a photo of him from behind.”

“Just check the security footage. Must I teach you these things?” Timothy snapped.

He took another look at the photo. Mia was smiling as she looked at the man beside her.

The smile on her face made Timothy feel quite annoyed.
