Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen )
Chapter 1027

Mia said with a wry smile, "Because you prefer a daughter-in-law with a high social status, not an orphan like me."

"That's not entirely true. Tim's father and I were also part of a marriage alliance then. Although he had feelings for another woman, his parents disapproved of her character. Ultimately, they arranged for him to marry me. I thought he would return to me once he was tired of his other pursuits outside. But I never expected him to continue his relationship with the other woman and even have an illegitimate child."

What was even more unexpected was that her husband actually wanted to leave all the company's property to the illegitimate son. If the illegitimate son hadn't been in poor health and died, and if Timothy hadn't been so outstanding, everything could have been taken away by the illegitimate son!

Upon hearing this, Mia remained silent.

Sharon continued, "I hope Tim finds a truly compatible partner to cultivate a deep and meaningful connection with. I want him to avoid repeating his father's past mistakes."

Mia glanced at Timothy awkwardly. She didn't know that Timothy's father had such emotional experiences in the past. Timothy had never mentioned these things before.

Sharon turned to Timothy and questioned him, "You mentioned that you actually intend to raise Asher as your heir. Is that true?"

"Of course, it's not true. I've never even considered allowing that child to inherit the Barrett family. These are merely Luna's fabrications, deliberately intended to deceive you."

After hearing this, Sharon's face twisted into a mocking expression as she retorted, "How am I supposed to discern the truth from your words? You've always been fiercely independent, never consulting me on anything. You've always felt like I'm a burden, keeping this from me for years. Do you think I'll feel better by treating Asher as my own grandson?"

"But I've never admitted that Asher is my child. It was your assumption, you were easily swayed by Luna's words. I warned you not to get too close to her from the beginning."

"Alright. In the end, it was completely my fault. You truly are an amazing son." After those words, Sharon delivered a resounding slap to Timothy's face. Then, she turned and left the private room, her steps staggering slightly.

Mia's gaze fell upon Timothy, whose face was partially veiled by the shadows. His current expression could not be seen clearly. She asked, "Did you not tell the truth to your mother?"

Timothy's recent explanation about the illegitimate child appeared acceptable at first glance. However, deep down, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

Given Timothy's true nature, even if his father mentioned the existence of a will, it wouldn't hold any power over him. He would undoubtedly find a method to get rid of Luna, so there was absolutely no reason for him to bring her back to the Barrett family. There had to be a more significant motive behind his actions.

He gazed at her intently. "At the moment, only Grandma and I are privy to this secret."

Mia noticed Timothy's sad and dejected expression. She tilted her head. "Don't bother telling me. I have no interest in your secrets."

The next moment, he approached Mia and said in a hoarse voice, "In fact, I'm an illegitimate child too. My mother lost her child during childbirth and can never have children again. My father deceived her to bring in a child from another woman."

When Mia heard the truth, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She never expected Timothy to be an illegitimate child as well.
