Meet My Brothers

Chapter 158

Mia glanced at the name on the business card: “CEO of Keystone Construction.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

She remembered the company well, having previously assisted Timothy in delivering some documents to them.

Back then, the president of Keystone Construction had approached Timothy with an investment proposal for a golf course project.

Surprisingly. Timothy had turned down the offer.

Yet, Mia later discovered that the golf course had been developed after all.

She recalled overhearing Timothy discuss certain issues related to that specific piece of land.

“Ms. Bowen, I have no concerns with these design drafts–they all look promising to me,” Keegan remarked.

“Let’s shift gears for a moment. What do you enjoy doing in your free time? What are your interests?” he continued.

Upon hearing this, Mia sensed something was amiss.

She stood up and said, “Mr. Stewart, if you haven’t settled on the design yet, let’s discuss it when you’ve made your decision.”

After concluding her words and attempting to leave, she discovered the door to the villa unexpectedly closed. Taking a deep breath, Mia paused briefly before turning to confront Keegan. “What’s this

supposed to mean?” “Well, Ms. Bowen, I understand women like you often have their price–varying for each, of course. Given your talents, you could command a substantial sum.

“I pride myself on generosity, and as long as you meet expectations and ensure my satisfaction, we’ll get along just fine. 1

“After all, time isn’t on my side, and there’s only so much money I can spend,” Keegan stated.

Mia’s expression hardened instantly. “I’m not interested,” she retorted coldly.

“Ms. Bowen, you’re already here. Why play hard to get? Patience isn’t exactly my strong suit,” Keegan warned.

As Roberto approached her, Mia instinctively stepped back.

She quickly pulled out her phone, declaring, “If you come any closer, I’ll call the police.”

In an instant, Roberto snatched the phone from Mia’s grasp.

Keegan’s eyes narrowed coldly. “Take her upstairs and make sure her hands and feet are tied,” he instructed.

Taking a deep breath, Mia suddenly inquired, “Mr. Stewart, you’re acquainted with Timothy, aren’t you?”

Keegan raised his gaze, inquiring, “What about him?”

“Well,” Mia began, “about a year ago, your son approached Timothy regarding an investment in a golf course. project.

“Unfortunately, it didn’t go through due to concerns about the water quality at the proposed location. The land had a history of heavy industrial use and wasn’t suitable for a resort transformation.”

After Mia concluded her statement. Keegan motioned toward Roberto and remarked, “Ms. Bowen seems to be well–informed.”

Turning his attention back to Mia, Keegan inquired, “What’s your connection with Timothy? Have you engaged in any previous dealings with him?”

“My relationship with Timothy isn’t the focus here. What’s cruciat is that the land has been developed into a resort, and it’s been showing considerable success lately.

“Should any issues surface, Keystone Construction might encounter serious problems, potentially leading to legal challenges for your son.

*Furthermore, given the financial difficulties your company has been facing since last year, the repercussions of a project failure could be…”

Mia left her sentence unfinished, attempting to channel Timothy’s negotiating tone while grappling with an underlying anxiety.

After all, her knowledge of Keystone Construction’s financial troubles was speculative, drawn from Timothy’s remarks.

Sometimes, blending truth with fiction might be the most effective approach.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Summoning her resolve, Mia straightened her back and locked eyes with Keegan.

Breaking the silence, he finally asked. “Spill it. What’s your relationship with Timothy?”

A faint smirk graced the corner of Mia’s mouth as she replied, “Well, Timothy specifically instructed me not to disclose our relationship, so I’m bound to keep that confidential.

“However, if you wish, you could contact him directly. I have his number saved in my phone.”
