Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Mia felt there was a motive behind Sharon's action.
"There must be some perks involved," Jasmine said. "Those nouveau riche are quite generous, and Mrs. Barrett is desperate for
money. I heard it took a lot to bail out Ralph."
Sharon wasn't just short on cash. The Bowen family was also demanding hefty compensation from her, and she was already
caught up in legal issues. Plus, she couldn't stay long in Nord City.
Mia had thought Sharon was in a tough spot, but now she had managed to bail Ralph out. How did Sharon get the Bowens to
agree?
"Yeah, I was curious too," Jasmine stated. "I thought the Barrett family might have given it to her, but I had someone confirm, and
that wasn't the case."
"Then, where did she get all this money from?" Mia asked.
Mia knew Sharon wanted to bail Ralph, but it seemed unlikely she would be willing to give up her entire fortune for him. Sharon
cared too much about her image, and without money, how could she keep up her status in Bern City?
Plus, liquidating her assets wouldn't happen quickly. And Mia doubted Timothy would allow his mother to sell off all their property
just to bail out his incompetent uncle.
So, she wondered where Sharon got this large sum of money and how she managed to persuade the Bowen family.
Jasmine whispered, "I heard Sharon has been associating with people from Yellow Island recently."
"She has been associating with people from Yellow Island? Are you sure?" Mia frowned.
After all, there had just been a conflict between the research institute and the so-called heiress of Yellow Island, Louisa, who was
detained in Nord City and couldn't leave the country.
Yellow Island had negotiated with Raymond and submitted documents. Despite their desire to expedite the process, Louisa's
arrogant remarks had drawn significant attention to the matter.
Because of this scrutiny, Yellow Island couldn't openly use backdoor channels and Raymond couldn't afford to show them
leniency at this critical moment. The situation would only be manageable once public attention died down.

For now, the arrogant Louisa had to stay in Nord City. She was constantly monitored and couldn't go anywhere. It wasn't jail, but
being under constant surveillance was still quite uncomfortable. Still, Mia hadn't expected Sharon to associate with the people
from Yellow Island.
Mia was puzzled. "Who exactly is this person from Yellow Island that Mrs. Barrett is involved with?"
"I'm still investigating this matter," Jasmine said.
She added, "Their identity is quite mysterious, and they've never really shown themselves. But from what I've heard, it might be
the island governor, who is the current prime minister's granddaughter."
"The prime minister's granddaughter of Yellow Island? But his daughter died many years ago. How could he suddenly have a
granddaughter?" Mia remarked.
Jasmine said, "I'm not sure. This matter involves the prime minister's private family affairs, and he's very protective of his privacy.
It's tough to find out the exact details.
"But if she truly is the prime minister's granddaughter and she's closely connected to Mrs. Barrett, there shouldn't be too much of
an issue with her lending a hand. But why would she help Mrs. Barrett?"
"That's what I'm wondering as well," Mia replied.
Given Sharon's love for showing off, she would have boasted about any connections to Yellow Island a long time ago.
