Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen )
Chapter 526

Mia spoke nonchalantly, “How do you want me to help?”

Regina remarked, “This dress of mine isn’t expensive, Just 5,000 dollars.”

“Mia, given your wealth, you surely won’t be short of this amount, right? This woman’s audacity to look.down on us is astonishing. What’s 5,000 dollars for a dress? The one you’re wearing is far more.

luxurious.”

Mia was momentarily speechless. “She didn’t look down on me; she simply looked down on you.”

Karen’s expression tensed. “But aren’t we familly?”

“I only regard Patricia as my family,” Mia replied, her tone cold.

Casting a glance at Patricia, Mia suggested, “Why don’t you head to the restroom? I’ll wait for yououtside.

“Patricia! You can’t simply ignore me. If you don’t help me, I’ll end up getting arrested today. You needto

help me cover the compensation.”

With tears in her eyes, Edna grabbed Patricia’s hand, pleading. “Patricia, when you weren’t around, itwas

Karen who looked after me. Can you bear to see her like this?”

Mia couldn’t stand to witness the situation unfolding any longer; she had foreseen this outcome.

Nonetheless, seeing Patricia so joyful was a rare occurrence; Mia was determined to prevent the

situation from escalating any further.

Turning to Karen, she offered, “I can help.”

“Oh Mia, I knew you would lend a hand. After all, this amount of money is insignificant to you, not evena fraction of your monthly allowance. Please, show me some kindness, Mia?”

Mia smirked. “Of course, but let’s put it in writing.”

“A written agreement?”

“Yes, since I’m lending you this money, it’s only fair to have a written agreement.”

Mia reached into her bag and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen; she had been preparing for examsrecently, so her bag was well–stocked with these items.

Edna’s expression soured. “Mia, with all your wealth, can’t you just help us without all the formalities?”

“I am helping, aren’t I? I simply require her to sign a loan agreement. If it were someone else, I wouldn’teven bother with the paperwork.” Mia calmly responded.

She was hesitant to simply give away 5,000 dollars as a favor.

Did they truly expect to receive such a handout? Where was the dignity in that?

Karen immediately burst into tears and rushed over to clasp Patricia’s hand, pleading. “Patricia, youhave

to help me! I can’t afford to pay 5,000 dollars!”

Mia calmly remarked, “But didn’t you mention that Sean earns about a grand a month? Five months”salary should suffice.”

As she spoke, she noticed Karen sobbing even louder.

Patricia appeared torn, while Edna wasted no time in adding fuel to the fire, urging. “Patricia, just help

your sister out.”

“But… but I don’t have 5,000 dollars either.”

“How is that even possible? Mia is so wealthy now; she must have been quite generous to you. Andwith

your old house being demolished, you must have received a substantial sum of money,” Ednapersisted.

Patricia sighed. “I entrusted all my money to Mia for safekeeping. She helps me with investments and

such. I’m not very knowledgeable about these things.

“The last time I tried to make a payment with my phone, I almost fell victim to a scam. That’s why I’m

reluctant to keep so much money with me,” she explained.

“Patricia, why don’t you ask Mia to return the money? It’s much safer to have it in your own hands.”

Karen couldn’t help but roll her eyes, her mind already scheming about how to spend the money once it

was in her possession.

Mia smirked. “Sure. The money can be withdrawn, but we need to have a written loan agreement.”

With a troubled expression, Patricia stuttered, “Um, um, I really need to use the restroom.”

Unable to make up her mind, she quickly retreated into the bathroom.

Mia waved the pen and paper in her hand. “If you want to avoid ending up in jail, then write the loan

agreement,” she demanded.

Certainly, Mia had no tolerance for freeloaders who constantly begged for handouts.
