Chapter 720
Meet My Brothers
Mia proposed, âThereâs no need for you to go to such lengths. Just record a video of yourself
reprimanding Asher and send it to me. You donât have to apologize in person. Sometimes, being too
polite can come across as a bit fake, you know?â
As Miaâs words trailed off, Lunaâs expression froze, clearly caught off guard by Miaâs unexpected
rebuttal.
Inwardly, Luna couldnât help but curse; she had indeed been dishonest
earlier.
Scolding Asher was completely out of the question for Luna. On the
contrary, she believed Asher had done an excellent job of putting Ginger in her place.
Considering his status as a member of the Barrett family, Luna believed his actions were justified.
Nonetheless, Luna received a scolding from Timothy over the phone. He went as far as suspending her
credit cards, urging her to cut back on shopping and devote more time to Asher.
Despite Lunaâs reluctance, she knew she had to uphold her facade by taking the initiative to apologize.
Whether Mia accepted it or not didnât concern her; she was merely putting on a show for Timothy.
However, Miaâs sudden request for Luna to record a video disciplining Asher seemed too farâfetched
for her.
Refusing to yield, Luna retorted, âMs. Monalize, perhaps youâre unaware, but Asher is part of the
Barrett family. Despite being his mother, I donât have the authority to discipline him. After all, Mrs.
Barrett is the one who dotes on him more.â
Upon hearing Lunaâs subtle boasting, Mia arched an eyebrow and inquired,
âHonestly, Iâm intrigued. Is Asher truly Timothyâs son?â
âMia, weâre all Intelligent people here. Some things donât need to be explicitly said. When it comes to
Asherâs connection to Timothy, Iâm sure you can see it clearly. After all, heâs been part of the Barrett
family since birth,â Luna countered.
Mia wasnât particularly taken aback by Lunaâs response.
Nonetheless, she couldnât help but wonder if Asher was indeed Timothyâs biological child.
Swiftly, Mia composed herself, masking her inner turmoil. âMs. Maynard, you seem very openâminded,
being ready to accept such a situation without insisting on a formal title or status,â she nonchalantly
remarked.
âI donât care about status; all I want is for Asher to be part of the Barrett family.â
Luna intentionally spoke ambiguously, her tone tinged with a touch of arrogance. âMs. Monalize, I
heard about your disagreement with Mrs.
Barrett.
âIsnât it common sense for a married woman to listen to her inâlaws, especially with a child in the
picture? So, Iâm curious, what do you think could be gained from upsetting Mrs. Barrett so early on?â
Mia sensed from Lunaâs expression that Sharon might make an unexpected appearance at the café
that day. She suspected Luna had said something in private to provoke Sharon into seeking Mia out.
Miaâs lips curled into a smirk as she raised an eyebrow. âMs. Maynard, youâre mistaken. Only those
without power, status, or even the affection of a man feel compelled to cater to their inâlaws. I lack
nothing and am under no obligation to please anyone.â
Lunaâs expression soured instantly, her jealousy bubbling to the surface. If only her social status were a
bit higher, she wouldnât feel inferior to Mia at
Sporting Tyler emerging from the elevator, Miaâs demeanor shifted abruptly. With a scowl, she
snapped, âMs. Maynard, itâs time for you to leave. And donât bother coming back.â
After uttering those words, Mia approached Tyler. âAre the test results. ready?â
Tyler nodded in confirmation.
Mia suggested, âLetâs discuss this matter in the consultation room.â
A hint of curiosity flickered in Lunaâs eyes. She couldnât help but wonder if Ginger was genuinely
injured.
As Luna attempted to sneak over, she was promptly stopped by the bodyguard. âPlease leave the
premises immediately,â he instructed.
Reluctantly, Luna complied and left the first floor. Nonetheless, she was determined to figure out
exactly what the test results were.
Meanwhile, Mia proceeded to Tylerâs office and promptly dialed Timothy. Mr. Barrett, Gingerâs diagnosis
has been confirmed.â
