Chapter 522

To prevent any complications for Patricia, Mia decided to keep the news to hersett for the time being.

She pulled out her phone and sent a WhatsApp message to Gina: “Hey Gigi, I have to head out now.

Today has been a whirlwind. Allow me to have some time for myself to process everything, and then

can plan our next outing.”

Gina responded promptly: “I understand. Today feels surreal. My bestie turning out to be a wealthy

heiress? It’s like I’m living in a movie!”

Mia felt reassured by Gina’s response, relieved that she wasn’t upset.

Mia had left in a haste earlier, inadvertently leaving Gina behind in the hall.

Upon returning home, everyone made arrangements to take Patricia out for a meal.

However, as Mia approached the door, she noticed several snake–skin bags placed outside.

She pushed open the door and stepped Inside, calling out, “Aunt Patricia?”

“Oh goodness, if it isn’t Mia! You’re blossoming more and more every day.

“Remember when I used to say Mia couldn’t possibly come from an ordinary family? Well, it seems I

onto something. Mia is indeed from a wealthy family.

“Patricia, your turn for good fortune is just around the corner,” declared a woman with a voluminous

perm. She drew closer and held Mia’s hand firmly.

In no time, an elderly lady hurried over, adding, “I’ve been expressing the same sentiment all along;

when

have you even mentioned it before?

“Mia is such a well–behaved child. Despite Patricia’s struggles, she took Mia in and raised her. This just

proves that kindness is always rewarded.”

Mia found herself trapped between the two women, unable to move. She hadn’t anticipated Patricia’s

family arriving so suddenly.

It turned out one was Patricia’s sister, Karen, and the other was her mother, Edna.

Regardless, neither of these two women were decent people!

When James was seriously ill and desperately needed money, Patricia reached out to her family for

assistance, only to be met with ridicule. In the end she was unable to secure even a penny

Because of this experience. Mia had always been opposed to Palisia having any contact with her

family. Patricia, with her gentle and timid nature, would only be bullied and taken advantage of by her

relatives.

Nonetheless, given Patricia’s plan to accompany Mia to settle in Nord City and potentially retire there

Mia hadn’t expected Edna and Karen to show up so promptly

With a stern look on her face. Mia pushed Edna and Katen away and led Patricia to the balcony. “Come

with me for a moment.”

“How did they manage to come here?” she questioned Patricia.

“I’m not sure.” Patricia replied.

“Aunt Patricia, didn’t I explicitly instruct you not to inform them beforehand? Can we even allow them to

stay in this house?”

Patricia hastity clarified. “I honestly didn’t mention anything, I only brought up my plans to reside in

Nord.

City in the future.”

“Then how did they locate this place? Did you disclose our address to them?”

“No, I didn’t, but I did send Edna something a while back. However, I didn’t include the specific building

number. I have no idea how they managed to find their way here,” Patricia explained,

Upon hearing this. Mia furrowed her brows. It appeared that Edna and Karen had unexpectedly arrived.

early, which was quite inconvenient.

Observing Patricia’s anxious demeanor, Mia’s tone softened. “It’s okay. They came early, so let it be.

It’s

not a big deal”

Patricia let out a sigh of relief as Mia grasped her hand. “But you should assert yourself more around.

“I understand.”

After imparting her advice, Mia escorted Patricia back to the living room.

As Mia approached, she noticed Karen seated near Eva, admiring the bracelet adorning Eva’s wrist.

“That bracelet is quite costly, isn’t it?” Karen commented.

Mia smiled and interjected, “It’s beautiful, right? I also gifted a similar one to Aunt Patricia, and she

enjoys wearing it casually.”

Upon hearing this, Karen immediately felt a surge of jealousy, her eyes turning red with envy.
