Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

"Are you truly not bothered by it anymore?" Eva asked.

Mia responded earnestly, “That's right. Now, I'm living comfortably as the heiress of the Lane family, with everything I desire at my fingertips. How could I possibly care about a worthless ex-husband?"

Mia was curious. "So, what would be enough, then?"
