267 Please help my brother

Seeing that things were beginning to get out of hand, Mia stepped forward, coming in between the two. "Liam, please. We are not here to fight with you. We are here to apologize." 

Her steady calm gaze had an unmistakable sadness and loneliness with them. "After we met the last time, several things have happened and somehow… we are here."

She let out a soft sigh, looking very tired.

"And? Am I to blame for that?" Liam sat down on the bed in the room casually. "I did make you three an offer but I also did not force you to accept it."

"No. You did not." Mia smiled bitterly. What she didn't say was that he didn't do it before but he had done it now.

She didn't want to talk about that right now, so she started with the other thing that they came here for. 

"We have made several mistakes, I admit. But please, you have to trust us, we did not spread the rumor about the slave contract. We had nothing to do with that."
