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.
