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 IL.”
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

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
counterfelt.”
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.
In the next moment, Patricia hurriedly removed the bracelet. “This bracelet is too

casually. What if something happens to it?”
*Aunt Patricia, please, just wear it. I've already assured you that money is not a
concern.” Mia urged.
Eva chimed in, “Exactly. Mia’s monthly allowance alone exceeds the cost of this
bracelet. It's a small gesture. Come on, let's go. Everyone is waiting downstairs.
It's time to leave for dinner.”
With that Mia and Eva each took one of Patricia's arms and escorted her out of
the room.
Karen and Edna were still a bit flustered, but seeing Mia and the others departing

As Edna and Karen lamented, Mia remained unfazed, finding their distress
somewhat amusing.

“Mom, if you run out, just inform me. I'll purchase it for you,” Patricia reassured
her.
Edna sighed deliberately. “But if you were to relocate abroad to Nord City, it
