With her newfound wealth, Mia decided to indulge a bit.
She selected a few silk scarves that she thought would suit Laura's complexion perfectly.
As Mia approached the checkout counter, someone behind her handed over a card and said, "Put it on mine."
Mia grabbed the card and turned to see Timothy standing there. "What's this for?"
"I'm not the type to let women pay," Timothy replied.
"Oh, is that so? I don't recall you being so considerate back when I was footing the bill for groceries and cooking.
"Now that we're divorced and I've achieved financial stability, you suddenly refuse to let women pay? Seems a bit late for chivalry," Mia retorted sharply.
The store clerk nodded in agreement. "Absolutely. As women, we should strive for self-reliance and financial independence," she asserted.
"Exactly. Here, use my card," Mia replied, handing over her bank card.
Once the transaction was done, she grabbed the box of scarves and walked away without looking back.
Watching her depart, Timothy was overcome by a sense of resignation. He couldn't comprehend Caleb's misguided belief that showering women with money would win their affection.
As he exited the mall, Timothy scanned the surroundings but couldn't spot Mia anywhere. "Where did she go?" he inquired.
Rodger stammered, "S-She hailed a cab."
Timothy adjusted his tie, the stifling frustration in his heart growing ever since he discovered that Mia was the heiress of the Lane family.
As he entered the car, he said, "Let's go."
Meanwhile, Mia hummed a tune in the cab, feeling particularly cheerful.
In the past, she was merely an orphan, devoid of any power or influence. While residing with the Barrett family, she consistently felt inferior and struggled to hold her head high.
Undoubtedly, her newfound affluence brought great satisfaction.

The readers' comments on the novel: Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen
I've never encountered a book with over 1,000 chapters. Does the author or platform not use an editor? The writing and grammatical errors are quite frustrating....
Why does it read status ongoing? If it’s ongoing chapter 1187 isn’t the end, I’m confused...
Chapter 1187 is the end? Too soon of a ending if its the ending they just ruined the sorty for me...
It reads 7 chapters per day, yet today only 2...
Patiently waiting for her to realize they belong together...

Where are the chapters. Very slow. Story is taking too long?...

I am so done with this never ending saga, with too much drama and never resolving any issues, only continuing to add more unresolved issues....
