Chapter 524
Meet My Brothers
âMia, your cousin Sean is now working in express delivery, so he had firstâhand knowledge about this
industry.â
It appeared that Sean was involved in delivery services. Perhaps he was the one who discovered
Patriciaâs address.
What an oversight on their part.
It seemed evident that Edna and Karen were trying to solicit money from Patricia in the elevator earlier.
Mia didnât respond to Karenâs remarks. Unfortunately, Patriciaâs sincere nature left her oblivious to the
hidden agenda behind their words.
In the end, Edna and Karen could only remain silent in resignation.
Karen stole a glance at the bracelet gracing Patriciaâs wrist, her eyes betraying a hint of envy.
Valued at 100 thousand dollars, Karen couldnât help but Imagine how exquisite it would look on her
wrist.
As the elevator doors opened, they eventually stepped out.
Mia escorted Patricia outside, disregarding Edna and Karen trailing behind.
Outside, six cars were parked, and as Mla and Patricia emerged, the five brothers stepped out of their
vehicles and approached Patricia.
âHello, Aunt Patricia,â they greeted warmly.
âWow, you gentlemen are looking quite dashing,â Patricia remarked, her gaze admiring Miaâs brothers.
finding them increasingly charming.
Karenâs eyes immediately lit up. âMia, are these your brothers? Theyâre incredibly handsome.â
Patricia proudly stated, âIndeed, not only are they handsome, but they are also all highly promising
young
men.â
âConsidering Miaâs generous monthly allowance, I bet her brothers are quite successful too. I wonder if
any of them are single.â
Mia rolled her eyes in response. âLetâs go, Iâm starving.â
âMia, hop in my car.â
âNo, ride with melâ
âThis time, itâs my turn to drive.
Apart from Dominic, the other five men exchanged competitive glances.
Mia intervened quickly, âAunt Karen, you and Grandma Edna can ride with us,â
Mia was adamant about keeping Edna and Karen away from her brothers,
An hour later, they reached the restaurant for dinner.
Exiting the vehicle, Edna and Karen were struck by the luxurious ambience of the restaurant.
Expressing their surprise, they remarked. âThis restaurant must be quite pricey, isnât it?â
Mia, linking arms with Patricia, replied calmly. âItâs fine. Patricia enjoys the food here.â
Edna immediately inquired. âHow much does a meal cost here? I should bring Sean here next time.â
Mia responded casually, âItâs not too expensive, just a few hundred dollars.â
âA few hundred dollars? Thatâs barely more than my sonâs wages.â
Mia glanced over with a playful smile. âWell then, weâll eagerly await your treat next time.â
Upon hearing this, Karenâs smile faltered. She couldnât afford to treat them, but she didnât want to
appear
inferior in front of Patricia, so she spoke impulsively just now.
Karen would be absurd to splurge hundreds of dollars on a meal here!
As dinner commenced, everyone sat around the table.
Karen and Edna sat on either side of Patricia, engaging in fond conversation and reminiscing about old
times.
Observing Patriciaâs rekindled smile, Mia understood her enduring yearning for family, even if her own
family might not love her as much or might even scheme against her.
Nevertheless, if it meant bringing Patricia joy. Mia was prepared to overlook it all.
Out of the blue, Karen inquired, âMia, are your brothers single?â
âIâm not sure.â Mia replied.
âOh, youâre aware of how lovely your cousin Sally has grown up to be since childhood. I think she and
your brothers would complement each other well. What do you think?â
Upon hearing this, Miaâs expression darkened. âI beg to differ.â
âBut Mia, once weâre family, weâll be even closer,â Karen insisted.
Mia could tell that Karen had an ulterior motive.
Considering Sallyâs history of associating with troublemakers since middle school, she appeared to be
nothing more than a spoiled brat. How could she possibly be the right match for Miaâs brothers?
Eva chimed in with a laugh. âItâs clear that she wouldnât be a suitable match. Their backgrounds simply
donât align!â
Mia couldnât resist giving Eva a thumbs up in agreement!
