Meet My Brothers

A country woman in the group spoke out, “Mia, you’re being extremely ungrateful. Without the Bowen family adopting you, do you think you would have been able to live safely until now?”

Mary sat on the ground, sobbing loudly. “Mia, I went out of my way to arrange a marriage for you. If you don’t agree, that’s your choice.

“But why did you involve the police and accuse us of human trafficking? How heartless of you!”

“That’s right. In our town, arranging marriages is a common tradition, and no one considers it as human trafficking.”

Gia’s mother, Pauline, stepped forward, fixing her gaze on Mia. “Mia, my daughter Gia is about to marry Ted.

“If you report him to the police and have him arrested now, how are we supposed to proceed with the wedding ceremony?”

Standing alongside Ted, Gia implored, “Mia, could you consider heading to the police station and

advocating for the release of Bob and the others?”

Mia’s demeanor remained stoic as she remarked, “I understand that you also received the bribe from Fabian, didn’t you? It slipped my mind for a moment.

“Considering that all of you have accepted illicit funds, it appears only fitting for everyone to be

held accountable at the police station.”

Upon hearing this, Gia’s expression briefly tensed. She hastily clarified. “It was a legitimate

transaction: I didn’t accept any tainted money.”

“Come on, Mia, enough talk,” Mary interjected. “Gia is carrying my precious grandchild in her belly. Let’s not cause unnecessary stress for the baby.”

Mia gazed at them with a sly smile. “Are you certain that this child is Ted’s?”

Pauline shot back instantly, her voice raised, “Who else could it be if not Ted’s? Mia, please stop

uttering nonsense.”

Mia shifted her gaze to Connor and then pulled out her phone, opening a video clip.

to enhance her social standing. As a result, she faced expulsion.

“After experiencing multiple abortions in the past, she was concerned that undergoing another

“Hence, she hastily sought a partner to marry and start a family with.”

Just then, Connor presented a stack of documents. “These serve as evidence of Gia’s past abortions at our hospital,” he stated.

After taking the documents, Mary turned to Ted and said. “I seem to have forgotten my reading glasses. Would you mind taking a look at the content for me?”

As Ted examined the papers, a pallor swept across his face. “Gia, although you’ve been open about your past relationships, the topic of undergoing an abortion never came up in our discussions.”

Pauline and Gia were momentarily plunged into panic, never expecting Mia to effortlessly expose their secrets.

Gia promptly defended. “All these documents are fabricated!”

“Yes, yes! These accusations hold no merit. It’s evident that Gia is carrying Ted’s child. Are you really going to dispute it?

“Perhaps you’re deliberately denying the truth to evade financial responsibility.” Pauline argued.

Shaking her phone, Mia declared, “Ted, I have substantial evidence here indicating that Gia has been romantically involved with other men in the past.

“It appears your girlfriend has a history of infidelity. Congratulations, I suppose.”

Gia and Pauline exchanged uneasy glances, realizing the situation was not in their favor. Hastily. they added, “Ted, please take your time to carefully consider this. We’ll be on our way.”

Mary’s voice rang out assertively. “Wait! If you intend to leave, you must first return the monetary support I generously provided for you.”

“Why should we do that? This money is meant for my daughter. There’s no reason to give it back,” Pauline retorted.

“The paternity of the child in Gla’s belly is still uncertain. We insist on a paternity test to confirm that the child is indeed Ted’s before we can disburse the money to you,” Mary firmly asserted.

As Mary stepped forward in an attempt to block their exit, a heated exchange unfolded, leading to a physical altercation between her and Pauline.

Witnessing the commotion, Mia burst into laughter, finding a sense of poetic justice in the situation.
