Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen

Chapter 532
As the situation took a negative turn, Dahlia hastily exclaimed, “Mrs. Barrett
Senior, could you please
come out and settle this?
“We heard you were discharged from the hospital, so we brought gifts to visit
you. We never expected to
be kicked out!”
Frowning, Mia retorted, “Hush, you'll wake Grandma.”
Weren't they aware that Laura was resting?
“Okay, okay, what's all this noise about?”
At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Laura stepped out. Catching
sight of Mia, she greeted
her with a warm smile, “My dear Mia, come here. Let me get a good look at you.”
Just as Mia stood up, Dixie hurried toward Laura, crying out, “Mrs. Barrett
Senior!”
However, Laura deftly moved aside, causing Dixie to miss her and tumble
painfully to the floor.
Mia cringed at the sound, almost as if she could feel the pain herself.
Laura gently patted her chest. “My delicate body can’t endure being tackled like
that. Mia, come here, let
me have a look at you.”
Mia grinned as she approached, assisting Laura in settling onto the sofa.
“Grandma, did we disturb your
sleep?”
“It's alright, I've already had a long nap. It's time to wake up, or else I'll struggle to
sleep tonight,” Laura
reassured.
Just then, Dahlia stepped forward, offering a gift box.
“Mrs. Barrett Senior, I heard you have a fondness for scarves. I specifically
visited this store and picked
up their latest collection. The colors in this batch are limited edition, only one of
each.”
“Really? Let me take a look.”
Mia cast a glance at the box, noticing it bore a striking resemblance to the
packaging from the store
where she purchased her scarves.
Was it merely a coincidence?
As Dahlia revealed the contents of the box, Mia observed three scarves nestled
inside.
Turning to Mia, Dahlia proposed, “I noticed you also got some scarves. Why not
show them to Mrs.
Barrett Senior?”
Maintaining her composure, Mia opened her box, revealing scarves that were an
exact match in color to
the ones Dahlia had selected.
A brief, awkward silence hung in the air.
Suddenly, Dahlia spoke sharply, “Mia, why would you buy counterfeit goods? You
know Mrs. Barrett
Senior adores scarves.
“Even if you couldn't afford it, resorting to fake items to deceive her is
unacceptable.
“Imagine if she wears it in public, and someone recognizes it as fake-it would
bring shame to the Barrett
family!”
Laura scrutinized the scarves in the boxes, swiftly discerning between the
authentic and the counterfeit.

“How could you suddenly have the money to afford such expensive scarves?”
Mia clicked her tongue disapprovingly before presenting the receipt. “Here's the
receipt from my
purchase today. Would you like to double-check?”
“This can’t be!” As Dahlia examined the receipt, she found no evidence of
forgery.
Feeling a pang of unease, she shifted her gaze and commented, “Humph, in this
day and age, anything
can be falsified.”
“Exactly. Considering your background, it's clear you can’t afford it. Stop
pretending.”
Turning to Timothy, Mia retorted, “But I went shopping with him today. He can
vouch for me.”
Upon hearing this, Dahlia and Dixie were left momentarily speechless, their
expressions frozen in
astonishment.
They hadn't expected Timothy to join Mia on her shopping excursion.
Now, caught off guard, they found themselves scrambling to come up with a
plausible explanation.
