Meet My Protective Brothers Chapter 625
Mia reached out and patted Luna's cheek, her crimson lips curling into a cold sneer. "Can't… you… understand… human… language?"
With each word uttered, she tapped Luna's cheek.
Luna was left reeling, her eyes widening in disbelief at having been struck.
After releasing Luna, Mia turned and entered the elevator. She glared coldly at the trio outside the elevator, her fiery red lips and commanding presence radiating an air of dominance.
Outside the elevator, Luna cradled her cheek, casting a pitiful look at Timothy. "Tim, I just wanted to intervene so you could speak with her. I didn't mean anything else."
However, Timothy remained unfazed, disregarding Luna's words as he simply gazed blankly at Mia inside the elevator.
After four years, she appeared to have undergone significant changes.
As the elevator doors closed, Caleb voiced his surprise, "Tim, are you positive she's Mia? Although there's a similarity in facial features, her personality is completely different."
She even acted assertively and slapped Tim twice!
The old Mia wouldn't have dared to behave in such a manner, would she?
Timothy stole a glance at his palm, contemplating the beauty mark at the corner of her eye. "I'm not entirely sure."
He then turned to Heath and instructed, "Assign someone to investigate her identity."
Standing nearby, Luna looked distressed as she covered her face. "Tim, whether she's Mia or not, this is too harsh. I just wanted her to explain."
Timothy's voice remained calm as he cautioned, "You better not cause trouble. This is Xanier Island, not Bern City."
Luna's eyes welled up with tears as she watched Timothy's retreating figure, feeling deeply hurt.
Caleb observed her and commented, "That's just Tim's temperament. Men can act strangely when their spouses are no longer here. Luna, have you booked a hotel room?"
"Not yet. It seems like all the hotels here are fully booked. I'll figure something out."
Caleb suggested, "You can stay in my room. I'll bunk with Tim."
Luna bowed her head and walked alongside Caleb, still feeling the sting of the slap. A sense of resentment brewed inside her.
If it was truly Mia, Luna wouldn't have any issue dealing with her again!
…
Stepping out of the elevator, Mia's mood soured.
She had come to attend the auction but unexpectedly encountered a man hitting on her in the lobby, gripping her wrist so tightly it turned red.
Mia was unimpressed. "Go find out more about that man," she instructed.
Wade Miller, Mia's butler, tentatively spoke up, "Ms. Mia, why do you want to investigate him?"
Had Mia recalled something?
If his memory served him right, the man he just saw was Timothy!
Mia felt somewhat annoyed. "It's obviously about getting even with them, especially Luna, whom I can't stand. Plus, it's boring being cooped up indoors on Xanier Island when it's raining. I might as well have some fun."
Wade quietly sighed to himself, but Dominic had been clear. Mia must not have any contact with the Barretts!
At that moment, Mia received a call from home. With a smile, she answered, "Hey, Eva, what's up?"
"Mia, have you arrived at Xanier Island? There's something I need to tell you, but please, don't panic."
"I just got to the hotel on Xanier Island. Eva, why are you being so secretive? What's going on?"
Eva took a deep breath. "Mia, Ginger is missing."
