When Mia saw Lionel and Karen Joy hugging each other in the room, she didn't mind at all. She walked into the room casually and said, "Your wedding is in a few days, can't you wait till then?"
"Little Aunt, I've told you that I had something to attend to!" The previous day, Brother Lionel had asked Karen Joy out for a movie, so she couldn't care less about going shopping with her Aunt Mia.
Mia glared at Karen Joy and said, "You are so heartless. You left so suddenly yesterday, so I even mistook another girl for you! I felt so awkward that I had to hide my face!"
"Well, it's so rare for you to feel awkward!" Obviously, Karen Joy did not think that her little aunt would ever feel awkward or embarrassed.
"Watch your words. Just because you're getting married soon, that doesn't mean that I can't do anything to you!" Mia pretended to be vicious and continued, "Mr. Collins, this lady will be your wife soon. You have to teach her some manners."
Lionel chuckled, "Yes." In fact, no matter what Karen Joy did, Lionel would stand on her side and be her strongest source of support.
Mia added, "At first glance, the girl I bumped into yesterday really looked like you."
Karen Joy became curious and asked, "Did she?"
Mia elaborated, "She really did look like you at first glance. But after looking at her closely, she didn't. Her dressing style is quite similar to yours. She had on a very casual outfit, just like what you would usually wear."
Although there were a lot of people in the world who looked similar, Karen Joy had not met any stranger who resembled herself yet. So, she listened to Mia attentively.
Mia continued, "That girl looked quite adorable... but she's probably someone not to be provoked. She even accused me of being a human trafficker."
"Haha!" Karen Joy burst into laughter. "Someone actually thought that you are a human trafficker? Now, I'm interested to meet her."
Mia thought for a moment and said, "Karen Joy, do you think your father could have given birth to a daughter with another woman behind your mother's back?"
Although Mia knew that her brother would never betray her sister-in-law, Mia was the kind of woman who loved to say the most ridiculous nonsense to stir up trouble.
Especially recently, she had no idea what Neil Brown was thinking. He had stayed in the military region for quite some time and did not come home for a few days.
The previous day, Mia went over to find him, and there was a big fight between them. She argued with Neil, so she was probably still bitter about matters pertaining to love.
Karen Joy wanted to cover Mia's mouth immediately. "Little Aunt, be careful of what you say. My dad will skin you alive."
Mia said proudly, "I'm just analyzing the situation. Kevin wouldn't need to be worried about what I said if it's not the truth."
"Mia Kyle!" A low and stern voice sounded behind her, which startled Mia greatly. She turned around and saw her brother standing at the door with a dark look on his face.
"Brother, I'm just kidding. You're a merciful man. Please forgive me." Mia may not be afraid of Neil, but she was definitely afraid of the legendary Director Kevin, who was haughty and aloof.
"Just kidding? You shouldn't joke about my marriage." No matter how long they had been married, Director Kevin still protected his wife like a precious treasure. He would not let anyone speak ill about their relationship.
"I know, I know. I won't do it again!" Mia sounded so pitiful. After all these years, Kevin was still bullying her.
Karen Joy laughed silently as if she was mocking her Little Aunt. "Well, you should know better about what to do and what not to do!"
Mia glared at Karen Joy.
Kevin looked at Lionel and said, "Come to my study."
Karen Joy heard Kevin's words and she was worried that her father would make things difficult for Lionel, so she walked over quickly and said, "Dad, I'll go with you."
