Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen )
Chapter 481

Mia’s curiosity was piqued. “What exactly is this gift? Can you give me a hint?”

Liam shook his head. “Disclosing it now would spoil the surprise. At the very

least, before you leave Bern City, we want to bring this chapter to a perfect conclusion,” he explained.

The brothers exchanged meaningful looks.

Connor, Claude, and Jason’s eyes shimmered with mutual understanding. Dominic had alreadyinquired about

Mia’s relationship with Timothy when he arrived earlier today; it seemed certain matters could no longerbe concealed.

Connor had reluctantly told Dominic about Mia’s secret marriage to Timothy for three years but hadrefrained from revealing her pregnancy.

After all, it was something Mia had

entrusted him to keep confidential, and he felt obligated to uphold his professional ethics as a doctor.

After discussing the matter, they unanimously decided to unveil Mia’s status as the Lane family heiressat the upcoming graduation ceremony banquet.

Dominic’s tone was resolute as he

declared, “That’s right, Mia. I promise to rectify all the injustices you’ve suffered over the years.”

He couldn’t help but feel a surge of resentment toward Timothy.

Mia sensed that her brothers‘ attitudes were somewhat peculiar, but she couldn’t, quite pinpoint why.

As the university’s graduation ceremony banquet approached, there were

discussions about distinguished guests attending as well as plans for a charity auction.

The next day, Eva took Mia shopping for clothes at the mall.

“Now that your brothers‘ businesses are thriving, don’t hesitate to purchase whatever you like,” Evaencouraged Mia as she handed her a VIP membership card.

“Here, take this. With this card, you won’t need to wait in line or make appointments when shopping atthis store in the future.”

Accepting the card gratefully, Mia browsed through the racks and selected a dress. “Eva, this dresswould look

stunning on you. Why don’t you try it on? ” she proposed.

Eva couldn’t resist Mia’s suggestion and headed to the fitting room with the dress in hand.

Meanwhile, Mia tried on her chosen

dress and examined herself in the mirror. Though the dress was undeniably

attractive, its snug fit accentuated her stomach a bit.

As a pregnant woman, Mia preferred clothing with a looser fit.

“Wow, Mia, is that really you? Can you even afford to shop in this store?” Shelly and Sharon enteredunexpectedly, clearly surprised to see Mia there.

Sharon’s demeanor turned cold. “Mia, this isn’t a place where you belong. Just like how you’re not asuitable match for our family.

“Even if you happen to acquire things through luck, they won’t be yours forever, ” she remarkedsharply.

Mia folded her arms defiantly. “Who said I can’t afford it?”

Upon uttering those words, she passed the card to the store clerk, Penny Marsh, and instructed,“Please wrap it up.”

Observing the card in Mia’s possession, Shelly couldn’t contain her surprise.” Isn’t that a VIPmembership card, Mia? How did you manage to acquire it? Did you steal it or something?”

Equally taken aback, Sharon chimed in, It must be stolen.”

Shelly nodded in accord. “I believe so too. After all, Aunt Sharon, even you couldn’t get your hands onthis card.”

Sharon’s pride suffered a blow. She had once coveted the card herself, but Laura had advised againstextravagance, causing Sharon to miss out on the opportunity.

However, to her surprise, Mia had managed to acquire that card!

Sharon shot Penny an indignant glare. ” She’s nothing but a pauper. How could she possibly own thatcard? You’d better verify her identity to avoid any complications,” she insisted.

Even Mia hadn’t realized the significance of the membership card Eva had given her.

Shelly chuckled and remarked, “Mia, do you honestly think you just stumbled upon a regularmembership card?

“This card requires an annual expenditure exceeding one million

576

dollars, and it also demands celebrity authentication for approval.

“Anyone in possession of this card is far from ordinary. You may have just landed yourself in trouble!”
