Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

"Mia, just name it, and if it's within my means, consider it done for you."
"So, you're planning to send Luna abroad, right? Maybe consider letting her flee to Bern City. She might seek shelter with
Timothy's family there."
"Mia, I'm not entirely clear on your strategy here. What if Luna does manage to garner support?"
"The trap has been set with the information I fed Luna earlier. She'll likely try to return to confirm my words."
Unbeknownst to Jasmine, Mia was eagerly anticipating Luna's return to Bern City.
Fuelled by the urgency to unravel the events of years past and shed light on Laura's injury, Mia had quietly awaited this moment.
If Luna was indeed responsible, Mia would ensure she faced the consequences.
As Jasmine mulled over Mia's plan, she found herself nodding in agreement. "Sure, I'll handle it. But given Asher's ties to the
Barrett family, do you think Mr. Barrett might step in?" Jasmine couldn't shake off her uncertainty, particularly after noticing Luna's
confident demeanor earlier.
She acknowledged her limited acquaintance with the Barrett family, realizing Luna's five-year stint with them while caring for
Asher might have obscured certain undisclosed details.
The possibility of Timothy's intervention loomed large, threatening to unravel her carefully laid plans.
Nonetheless, Mia's response was unwavering. "Rest assured, I can guarantee you that Timothy won't interfere. Luna's time is
up."
"Mia, are you truly that confident?"
Under Jasmine's probing gaze, Mia cleared her throat lightly before responding, "Yes, without a doubt. After all, this matter
touches upon the truth behind the incident involving Mrs. Barrett Senior, someone Mr. Barrett deeply respects. He would
undoubtedly spare no effort in unraveling the mysteries surrounding it."
"In that case, I can rest assured."
"Luna's situation is under control. Timothy won't interfere. However, when it comes to Asher, I can't guarantee he won't attempt to
negotiate with your family."

"Asher is merely a descendant of an illegitimate child within the Barrett family. Timothy's stance should align with mine," Jasmine
stated confidently.
Listening to Jasmine's seemingly reasonable assertion, Mia fell momentarily silent.
Though the situation appeared logical, it posed a dilemma for Mia. Timothy, like Asher, wasn't from the main Barrett family
lineage, being born out of wedlock himself.
This fact left Mia questioning Timothy's intentions toward Asher.
Sensing Jasmine's apprehension, Mia offered a reassuring smile. "There's no need to worry. As long as Asher stays out of
trouble, believe Timothy won't intervene excessively."
Jasmine nodded in understanding. "As long as Asher behaves, I won't take any drastic measures. I wouldn't stoop so low as to
harm a child." Jasmine understood that the events of the day were influenced by Luna's actions and her father's traditional
favoritism toward sons over daughters. Since Asher's birth, he had been ensnared in Luna's manipulations, a situation that was
truly heart-wrenching to witness. Indeed, children had no voice in such affairs and were simply carried along by the decisions of
the adults around them.
A couple of days after the banquet concluded, Jasmine contacted Mia to relay the news that Luna had fled from the airport, likely
securing a ticket back to Bern City.
"Got it. Thanks for the heads-up," Mia replied before turning off her phone. It appeared Luna had taken the bait.
After careful consideration, Mia finally reached out to Timothy with a message. "Luna has fled to Bern City. I mentioned to her
earlier that Grandma Laura had regained consciousness, so she likely went to verify it."
With her message sent, Mia anxiously anticipated Timothy's response. Shortly thereafter, Timothy's call came through.
"Timothy, how do you plan to handle this?" Mia asked, her voice tense.
Timothy's reply was strained. "Grandma has indeed regained consciousness."
"What? Is she really awake? This isn't a joke, is it?"
