Chapter 253
At the sound of Timothy’s voice, Mia and Connor instinctively held their breath, a collective sense of
guilt lingering in the air.
They turned around, exchanging cautious looks in Timothy’s direction.
As Timothy approached Mia, she nervously stammered, “I–Is there something?”
Connor couldn’t shake his distrust of Timothy, disliking the way he scrutinized Mia.
Timothy came to a halt and offered his hand.
Noticing the SIM card in Connor’s palm, Mia belatedly recalled her earlier misconception about it being
inserted upside down.
She had intended to rectify it, but Connor approached them just as she was on the verge of doing so.
Concerned that he might uncover her connection to Timothy, Mia hurriedly left with Connor.
In her haste, she neglected to correctly insert the SIM card.
Clearing her throat, Mia uttered, “Thank you.”
As she was about to grab it, Connor preemptively took the SIM card from Timothy’s hand. “Mia.
why are you so careless? Keep the SIM card safe. I’ll assist you in fixing it when we get back.”

store.
Timothy stood alone, reflecting on Connor’s words and deducing that these two might have begun
cohabitating.
He tugged at his tie, experiencing a wave of frustration.
Damn it!
He truly regretted coming here to purchase the phone.
Upon returning home, Mia found herself surrounded by her brothers. “Mia, what happened to the
corner of your mouth?”
“Oh, it’s just a minor accident.”
During their journey home, Connor informed Mia about the near–panic situation her brothers were

Facing her six concerned brothers, Mia apologized, “I’m sorry for causing you all to worry. When my
phone broke, I should have borrowed a colleague’s phone to let you know I’m safe.”
Observing her remorseful expression, Dominic softened his stance. Despite his initial intention to
correct Mia about her lapse, he chose to let it slide.
Given Mia’s apology, forgiveness–seemed to be the only reasonable option.
Dominic maintained a stern expression. “Don’t make this a habit.”
Mia obediently nodded. “Yes, I swear!”
Eva grasped Mia’s hand, offering reassurance. “Mia, there’s no need to make promises. It’s okay if you
forget next time.
“But in case you ever find yourself in danger, always remember you can come back to your family.
With your many brothers, any one of them can handle a fight for you.”
A warm smile crept onto Mia’s face. Indeed, having six brothers made her feel as if she were
living in a dream.
Lounging on the sofa, Liam chimed in. “As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters. By the way.
I’ve already devised a plan to deal with your adoptive parents.”

Dominic reassured her with a pat on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
However, Mia felt increasingly uneasy as she listened.
She urgently grabbed Dominic’s arm, saying, “Dominic, I appreciate your desire to stand up for me, but
revenge should be pursued the right way. Let’s not resort to anything illegal or unethical.”
Sensing Mia’s apprehension, Eva swiftly stepped in. “Don’t worry. Your brothers are well aware of
boundaries. There are various things challenging for Bob and Mary.

“After all, isn’t Ted, their son, about to marry his girlfriend Gia? We could stir up a bit of chaos in
their lives.”
Mia looked curiously at Eva, asking, “Stir up chaos? How?”
Jason explained, “I’ve asked a friend to investigate Ted and Gia. They’re rushing to tie the knot due to
Gia’s pregnancy, but it seems the child may not be Ted’s.”
