Sharon's anger was palpable, and her entire demeanor turned sour. "With that attitude, do you still believe Tim will agree to marry you?"

"Once again, you've misunderstood. I never entertained the idea of marrying Timothy. He's the one pursuing me relentlessly.

"However, your words have given me an idea. If he genuinely seeks reconciliation and is prepared to marry into my family, it's something I might consider."

Sharon screamed in frustration, "Mia, you're out of your mind!"

"Then let's put it to the test," Mia retorted before ending the call.

As she pictured Sharon's angry expression, Mia felt a sudden surge of vindication.

Indeed, deriving satisfaction from others' discomfort indeed seemed oddly gratifying.

Not to mention, simply eliminating someone troublesome instantly improved the atmosphere.

Suspecting that the individuals on Yellow Island were exploiting Sharon, Mia decided to send her back to Bern City.

As Mia sat down for lunch, she suddenly remembered that it was Sage's first day of school. She couldn't help but wonder how he was adjusting to the cafeteria food. Almost immediately, her phone rang-it was a call from the kindergarten.

Mia answered promptly. "Hello, what's the matter, Ms. Graziosi?"

Could Sage be facing some difficulties at school?

"Ms. Lane, Sage got into a fight with another student during lunch. We need you to come in," Casey explained.

"Of course, I'll be there right away. Is Sage alright?" Mia asked, her concern evident.

"Both children are fine, they just sustained minor scrapes. There's no need to worry. They've been checked by the school nurse," Casey reassured Mia.

Mia felt an immediate wave of relief upon hearing this news. As long as Sage was unharmed, she was content.

Her primary concern for Sage was his well-being, above all else.

Nonetheless, Mia hadn't anticipated him getting into a scuffle on his very first day of school!

Mia wasted no time in arriving at Sage's kindergarten. Upon arriving, she approached Casey. "Ms. Graziosi, what led to the altercation between Sage and the other student?"

"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. Both Sage and this new student recently transferred in, but the other child arrived a few days earlier.

"It's difficult to fathom what might have triggered a conflict between two children meeting for the first time, yet neither of them is willing to provide an explanation."

Mia shared Casey's bewilderment. She knew Sage wouldn't instigate a fight without reason. "Has this other student's family been contacted?"

"Yes, they're currently in the office."

As Mia entered the office, her attention was drawn to a middle-aged woman, Tonya Waterford. Stepping forward, Mia introduced herself. "Hello, I'm Sage's mother, and-"

"Well, well. So, you're the mother

who couldn't raise her child properly. You appear respectable enough, but as a single mother, you must bear complete responsibility for your child's actions," Tonya interjected.

Mia's gaze turned cold. "What a filthy mouth you have. Did you forget to brush your teeth before leaving the house? I'd love to see what kind of kid someone like you would raise."

After all, behind every misbehaving child, there usually lay a misbehaving parent.

"Are you insinuating something? Do

you even have any idea who we are? You're hardly qualified to speak in such a manner. If you don't offer a sincère apology for Mr. Asher's injury, you'll regret crossing us!"

Mia's lips curved into a chilling smile. "How convenient. I won't let this matter slide either, especially after my son was injured on his very first day of school."

"Just so you're aware, you might be in for a surprise if I reveal our family's identity," Tonya shot back.

Mia couldn't fathom why there were so many individuals in this world who appeared eager to challenge her. She never expected someone would dare to boast about their status in her presence.

Raising an eyebrow, Mia responded sarcastically, "Well then, I suppose I'm rather intrigued to discover more about his identity. Please, feel free to surprise me." "Mr. Asher is the mayor's grandson."

Mia fell silent abruptly, her mind flooded with confusion.
