Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 1158

Who would've guessed that Mia's ex-husband was so striking and wealthy?

After her divorce from him, Mia certainly wouldn't settle for just anyone.

Timothy's expression turned icy as he questioned Diane, "Did you arrange for my ex-wife to meet him?"

Under Timothy's penetrating gaze, Diane recoiled, her words faltering, "I, um, couldn't help but notice Ms. Lane's remarkable strength in raising two children on her own—it's quite an accomplishment, isn't it? I simply thought introducing her to someone might lighten her load."

Mia's expression turned scornful as she glanced at Diane. "I manage perfectly well on my own, and I've never relied on a man to ease any burdens. However, it appears that some individuals have less than honorable intentions, wouldn't you agree?"

Perhaps Mia's financial stability and orphaned status, combined with Patricia's gentle and easily influenced nature, made them a prime target for exploitation.

Addressing Patricia, Mia advised, "Moving forward, it's important to be more selective about who you befriend.

"Some people are only interested in exploiting your kindness, assuming you're an easy target. Do they seriously think no one in our family can see through their schemes?"

Mia had heard whispers about certain nosy neighbors in Patricia's neighborhood who had a knack for taking advantage of others.

Knowing Patricia's hesitation to turn people away, they would often prolong their visits whenever her family's doctor arrived, hoping to receive complimentary check-ups.

Each time this happened, Patricia felt too embarrassed to speak up.

With the family doctor simply obeying Dominic's instructions and never voicing objections, this inadvertently emboldened these neighbors further.
