Meet My Brothers

A hint of mockery flashed in Mia’s eyes as she looked at the order. She’d furnished every inch of the marital home with her heart, and a certain someone had disregarded it like it meant nothing. Now, they even wanted her to design a new home for her ex-husband and his first love!

They’d crossed the line with this!

It looked like they wouldn’t let her off the hook; they were constantly trying to provoke her. Since backing down

wouldn’t resolve the problem, Mia would probably be better off facing them directly.

As long as they weren’t afraid of the consequences, what would she have to fear?

Mia’s eyes flashed coldly. She called the number indicated in the order. Heath’s voice rang out awkwardly on the other end of the line. “Ahem. Mrs. Barrett.”

“You don’t have to call me that now that we’ve signed the divorce papers. I’ll cut to the chase-you guys are the ones behind that online order, right?”

Heath nodded. “Yes.”

“I’ll accept it, but I have a condition. I want to be paid tenfold,” Mia said.

“I’ll have to check with Mr. Barrett on this, Mrs. Barrett.” Heath hurried into Timothy’s office after hanging up. Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Barrett just contacted me on the order. She said that she’ll only accept the deal if she’s paid tenfold.”

Timothy stopped writing. “Tenfold? She wants a million dollars?”

She hadn’t changed one bit. She had the nerve to demand a fee of one million dollars!

He leaned back. “Do you think she’s worth that price?”

“We’ve already gone through five designers, Mr. Barrett. All of them asked for more than 100 thousand dollars, so we’ve already spent more than 500 thousand dollars on them. It’d actually be worth it if we could spend a little more to hire a designer who can get the job done,” Heath said.

Timothy raised an eyebrow at him. “How are you so sure that I’ll be happy with her designs?”

Heath fell silent. Hadn’t Timothy switched designers so many times because he hadn’t been happy with any of their designs?

After a while, Timothy asked, “So, what do you think?”

Heath said tentatively, “It is a little expensive. Maybe we should forget it.”

Timothy frowned. “Have her accept the order. I won’t pay her the remainder of the fees if I’m not happy with her work.”

It wouldn’t be that easy to earn his money!

Heath nodded and left the office. He wiped the sweat from his brow. It was getting harder and harder to guess

Soon, Mia received a call from Heath. She smirked and happily accepted the deposit. Cha-ching-that was 200 thousand dollars in her pocket! Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

She got ready to head to the marital home to scope out the place. Before leaving, she realized she’d run out of folic acid. As she passed by a pharmacy, she dropped by to get a bottle each of folic acid

and vitamins. Then, she switched the contents. She had to be careful before the divorce was finalized.

Mia took a cab to her marital home. One of the maids, Holly Stow, was pleasantly surprised to see her. “What are you doing here, Mrs. Barrett?”

“To work, of course.” Mia smiled and entered the hall. It was familiar to her, but many of the decorations had been changed. Somehow, they just didn’t go well together. She looked at the new curtains. “Who switched these?”

Holly said cautiously, “Kaleb did. I heard he did it on Ms. Lane’s orders.”

Mia wasn’t surprised to hear this. After all, on the day that she’d been kicked out of this place, Maya had mentioned that she would change everything in the villa.

A hint of mockery flashed past her eyes. “It’s good that things have been changed. Out with the old and in with the new, right?”

“Don’t be mad, Mrs. Barrett. Mr. Barrett was furious when he learned about Kaleb changing the furnishings. He even had Kaleb fired,” Holly said.

“Really?” Mia was surprised. Kaleb had been sent here by Sharon, yet Timothy hadn’t hesitated to have him fired. She supposed he’d genuinely been angry. It made sense, though. Timothy was a clean freak and had a compulsive streak. He was hard to deal with.

“Could you help me record the things that have been changed, Holly? I’ll deal with the renovations, but you’ll have to help me coordinate things a little,” Mia said.

“Of course, Mrs. Barrett. But aren’t you gonna see what things are like upstairs?”

Mia lowered her gaze. “No. That won’t be necessary.”

She didn’t want to head upstairs to see traces of Timothy and Maya’s life together-not even in the slightest.
