Chapter 533
With a smirk, Mia gazed at Dahlia and Dixie. “Do you still have anything to say?”
Dahlia and Dixie felt a flush of embarrassment. They had expected Mia to be out
shopping with Timothy. If they questioned the authenticity of Mia's purchase,
wouldn't they also be questioning Timothy's taste?
Enraged, Dixie managed a strained smile as she replied, “Considering Tim was
with you, it's unlikely the
scarves are fake.”
Dode had intended to assert dominance over Mia, but her plan seemed to have
backfired!
With a knowing smile, Mia glanced at them. “So, if mine aren’t knockoffs, does
that mean yours are?”
Dode’s expression froze as she struggled to come up with a response.
Undeterred, Mia pressed on. “These scarves are limited edition, with just a single
authentic piece
available across all the malls in Jeinburg.”
Seizing the opportunity, Dahlia reprimanded Dixie, “I told you to buy the scarves
from the mall, but your insisted on having a friend buy them for you! Look what
happened-you got scammed, didn’t you?”
Dixie quickly caught on and responded tearfully, “Mom, I had no idea my friend
would deceive me like
that.”
Mia couldn’t help but admire Dahlia and Dixie's acting skills. They had effortless
around.
Just then, Laura intervened, saying. “That's enough!”
turned the situation
Dahlia quickly turned to Laura with a pleading expression. “Mrs. Barrett Senior,
Dixie was misled by her friend. There’s no way she'd knowingly purchase fake
goods as gifts for you.
“Besides, you've already seen much of the world. You don’t need such trivial
items. Anyway, the scarves are simply a small gesture from us, wouldn't you
agree?”
Mia clicked her tongue disapprovingly. “Buying counterfeit goods just to save a
few bucks doesn't
exactly scream sincerity.”
Mia was well aware of Laura's contempt for Dahlia and Dixie. Despite Laura’s
cold treatment toward them, they shamelessly continued to visit, pretending to be
oblivious to her disdain.
Dealing with such brazen individuals was undeniably frustrating.

Dixie swiftly turned to Timothy, her eyes brimming with tears. “Tim, please believe
me, I didn’t mean it like that!”
Timothy's demeanor hardened as he responded, “I don’t know you.”
Dixie faltered for a moment, her voice catching. “But we were so close when we
were younger. How did
things change as we grew up? I recall you once sald-"
Upon hearing this, Mia's Interest was piqued. Could Timothy have some history
with Dixie?
However, Laura intervened sternly, cutting off Dahlia and Dixie. “That's enough.
Your grandfather was the
one who shamelessly proposed the marriage contract, but our family never
agreed to it.
“If you continue spreading such rumors, it will tarnish Timothy's reputation; expect
to receive a lawyer's
letter if you continue.”
