Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

As Mia glanced up, she couldn't help but notice Raymond approaching. With a meaningful expression, she remarked, "Well, it certainly seems that Ms. Maynard isn't particularly welcoming to me." "Ms. Lane, perhaps you're being a bit harsh. Luna is still learning and getting used to things. Please be patient with her," Raymond interjected, attempting to mediate.

"But Ms. Maynard is in her thirties; she's an adult, not a toddler. Should I be the one bending over backward to accommodate her? Frankly, some might even question her intelligence if they knew about this." Feeling defensive, Luna retorted, "Whom are you suggesting might have maturity issues?"

"Luna, what's with the attitude? Apologize to Ms. Lane right away, understood? She's a guest I personally invited today. How could you speak to her like that?"

Raymond's disappointment was evident as he observed Luna's behavior. He had always seen her as an intelligent woman, but it seemed she struggled to foster positive relationships with others. "But Dad, I didn't even extend an invitation to her for today's event."

Luna had meticulously reviewed the guest list beforehand, making sure to familiarize herself with everyone attending the occasion.

It was essential for her to recognize the relatives and friends of the Shelbert family in attendance, as they might become valuable connections for her in the future.

Upon reviewing the guest list and noticing the absence of the Lane family, Luna couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. After all, Mia's presence always seemed to disrupt her plans. "Ms. Lane is a distinguished guest, invited by me personally. A formal invitation wasn't necessary. Is there any concern about that?"

However, Luna's inner objections persisted. Today held immense significance for her.
