Mia spoke nonchntly, “How do you want me to help?”
Regina remarked, “This dress of mine isn’t expensive, Just 5,000 dors.”
“Mia, given your wealth, you surely won’t be short of this amount, right? This woman’s audacity to look.
down on us is astonishing. What’s 5,000 dors for a dress? The one you’re wearing is far more.
luxurious.”
Mia was momentarily speechless. “She didn’t look down on me; she simply looked down on you.”
Karen’s expression tensed. “But aren’t we familly?”
“I only regard Patricia as my family,” Mia replied, her tone cold.
Casting a nce at Patricia, Mia suggested, “Why don’t you head to the restroom? I’ll wait for you
outside.
“Patricia! You can’t simply ignore me. If you don’t help me, I’ll end up getting arrested today. You need
to
help me cover thepensation.”
With tears in her eyes, Edna grabbed Patricia’s hand, pleading. “Patricia, when you weren’t around, it
was
Karen who looked after me. Can you bear to see her like this?”
Mia couldn’t stand to witness the situation unfolding any longer; she had foreseen this oue.
Nheless, seeing Patricia so joyful was a rare urrence; Mia was determined to prevent the
situation from escting any further.

Turning to Karen, she offered, “I can help.”
“Oh Mia, I knew you would lend a hand. After all, this amount of money is insignificant to you, not even
a fraction of your monthly allowance. Please, show me some kindness, Mia?”
Mia smirked. “Of course, but let’s put it in writing.”
“A written agreement?”
“Yes, since I’m lending you this money, it’s only fair to have a written agreement.”
Mia reached into her bag and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen; she had been preparing for exams
recently, so her bag was well–stocked with these items.
Edna’s expression soured. “Mia, with all your wealth, can’t you just help us without all the formalities?”
“I am helping, aren’t I? I simply require her to sign a loan agreement. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t
even bother with the paperwork.” Mia calmly responded.
She was hesitant to simply give away 5,000 dors as a favor.
Did they truly expect to receive such a handout? Where was the dignity in that?
Karen immediately burst into tears and rushed over to sp Patricia’s hand, pleading. “Patricia, you
have
to help me! I can’t afford to pay 5,000 dors!”
Mia calmly remarked, “But didn’t you mention that Sean earns about a grand a month? Five months”
sry should suffice.”
As she spoke, she noticed Karen sobbing even louder.
Patricia appeared torn, while Edna wasted no time in adding fuel to the fire, urging. “Patricia, just help
your sister out.”
“But… but I don’t have 5,000 dors either.”
“How is that even possible? Mia is so wealthy now; she must have been quite generous to you. And
with
your old house being demolished, you must have received a substantial sum of money,” Edna
persisted.
Patricia sighed. “I entrusted all my money to Mia for safekeeping. She helps me with investments and
such. I’m not very knowledgeable about these things.
“Thest time I tried to make a payment with my phone, I almost fell victim to a scam. That’s why I’m
reluctant to keep so much money with me,” she exined.
“Patricia, why don’t you ask Mia to return the money? It’s much safer to have it in your own hands.”
Karen couldn’t help but roll her eyes, her mind already scheming about how to spend the money once it
was in her possession.
Mia smirked. “Sure. The money can be withdrawn, but we need to have a written loan agreement.”
With a troubled expression, Patricia stuttered, “Um, um, I really need to use the restroom.”
Unable to make up her mind, she quickly retreated into the bathroom.
Mia waved the pen and paper in her hand. “If you want to avoid ending up in jail, then write the loan
agreement,” she demanded.
Certainly, Mia had no tolerance for freeloaders who constantly begged for handouts.
