Meet My Brothers

Maya wasn’t an extravagant spendthrift like Shelly.

If Maya was the true daughter of the Lane family, she wouldn’t have had to endure such hardships.

Her life could have been as carefree as Shelly’s.

Mia, Dominic and Eva arrived home, finding Patricia hard at work in the kitchen.

Eva sniffed the air. “It smells amazing. I wonder what Aunt Patricia is making.”

“She’s whipping up some local delicacies. Remember how you said you love them? She snagged the freshest ingredients from the morning market just to perfect the dishes,” Mia grinned.

“Awesome! I’ll go help her out in the kitchen.” Eva set down the presents before dashing towards the alluring

aroma of delicious foods.

Meanwhile, Dominic settled on the living room couch.

Mia offered him a plate of fruits. “You must be exhausted from the long flight. Come, have some fruit. You

need to replenish those vitamins.”

Dominic wasn’t a fan of fruits because of their sweetness. Taking vitamin pills was normally his way of

replenishing his nutrients.

Despite this, he took small bites of the fruits Mia offered.

He reassured Mia between bites, “Mia, don’t worry about the rumors. Jason will hold those people responsible for what they did. Wilhelmina has received a lawsuit letter.

“Now, that company is on the brink of bankruptcy and someone might swoop in to buy it. That family will lose their home and drown in debts soon. None of them can get away with what they did.”

Holding the plate of fruits, Mia stared at him in bewilderment. “Dominic.”

“If something’s bothering you, just say it, Mia.” He met her gaze with anticipation.

The reason behind him putting off his work to rush over here was to deal with this issue.

After all, as the eldest brother, it was his duty to protect his sister from such baseless accusations.

Taking a bite of fruit, Mia questioned, “Dominic, how did you know that that family would lose their home and carry a burden of debts soon?”

Mia could understand Jason’s pursuit of justice, given his role at a law firm.

However, the impending bankruptcy seemed like insider information.

It was almost as if Dominic was gearing up to acquire that company.

His eyelids fluttered as the realization hit that he might’ve revealed too much information.

Swiftly regaining composure, he said, “Vista Properties is set to acquire that company, and I happen to work there. That’s why I’m privy to the information.” NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“I see. What a coincidence,” Mia remarked calmly, although a sense that something was amiss lingered at the

back of her mind.

In Mia’s understanding, Maya’s brother ran that company.

And Shelly and Maya seemed to be the masterminds behind the scenes.

Logically speaking, Maya would never allow her brother to acquire that company because it would be no

different from digging her own grave!

Dominic felt the tension and swiftly changed the subject. “Mia, why is Connor not here yet? Is he pulling a late- shift today?”

“Nope. I told him you guys were coming. He promised to be home earlier than usual.”

As soon as she finished, the doorbell rang.

“That’s probably Connor. He must’ve forgotten his keys again.” She headed to the door, only to find an

unexpected guest.
