Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ( Mia Bowen ) novel Chapter 523

Observing Karen's envious expression, Mia purposefully turned to Patricia and suggested, "You know, since we're going out for dinner tonight, why don't you wear the bracelet? It's been a while since you wore it."

Patricia chuckled. "I work at the supermarket most of the time, so there's hardly any chance to wear it. Plus, I'd be devastated if it were to get scratched or damaged."

"Well, since we're dining out today and you're not on duty, why not wear it now? It's the perfect occasion," Mia suggested.

"Yes, go ahead, put it on. Let everyone admire the gift Mia gave you," Eva chimed in.

Unable to resist their persistence, Patricia eventually relented and headed to the bedroom to retrieve the bracelet.

Mia shared a knowing look with Eva, who had just picked up on her subtle signal.

Shortly after, Patricia emerged wearing the diamond bracelet. Karen couldn't help but gaze at it enviously. "So, this is Mia's purchase. It's quite lovely and bears a resemblance to my bracelet," Eva said.

Patricia smiled and glanced over. "Really? That's quite a coincidence. I'm not accustomed to wearing jewelry most of the time. I initially declined Mia's offer to purchase it, but she insisted on buying such an extravagant gift."

Mia swiftly interjected, "Aunt Patricia, these bracelets aren't extravagant at all. With my brother's business flourishing, we're not lacking in funds. I'll get you a bracelet ten times pricier in the future."

Edna promptly inquired, "How much did this bracelet cost?"

Patricia answered, "It was around ten thousand dollars, I believe."

Karen immediately clicked her tongue twice. "Ten thousand dollars? You can't find a bracelet with this quality of color and luster at that price unless it's a counterfeit."

Mia's smile widened. "Aunt Karen, you have a sharp eye. Actually, this bracelet was purchased for 100 thousand dollars. I deliberately downplayed the price to put Aunt Patricia at ease, so she wouldn't feel obligated to decline it."

"100 thousand dollars?" Karen and Edna exchanged a startled glance.
