Barbara made a dash toward Jade, trying to attack her.
But Mia was quick on her feet. She stepped in immediately, grabbed Barbara's arm and landed a kick in her gut, then skillfully pinned Barbara's arm to the table and landed a powerful punch to her head.
Mia's movements were smooth and strong, without a hint of hesitation, leaving the entire classroom stunned.
Turned out, Mia could throw punches!
The surprise was so overwhelming that nobody noticed Barbara's cries for help.
Eventually, a teacher walked in and put an end to the brawl.
Barbara didn't stand a chance against Mia.
Leo was seated between Jade on his left and Mia on his right.
He clapped for both girls, "Sitting between you two, I feel like a total loser."
The fight was so intense that he didn't get a chance to intervene.
Especially Mia, her brawling skills were always a surprise. Leo looked at Mia with a hint of admiration, "If the teacher hadn't walked in, would you have broken her arm?"
Sweet on the outside, hard on the inside. Mia responded in the gentlest voice with the coldest words, "I would."
An hour later, an old man showed up on the school field.
Accompanied by his butler, Hansen arrived at the school's track field, that time with his ornamental cane. Despite his brisk stride, he still carried the expensive cane as a symbol of his social status.
"Butler, what do you think Mia wants me to do here at the school?" Hansen asked.
The butler, dressed in a tailcoat, followed closely behind, "She may take you out for a meal again."
"Hahaha, if that's the case, I'm one lucky guy!" Hansen was thrilled at the thought.
And that's precisely what he was hoping for.
"I'm truly blessed. Everyone thought that Andre marrying such a young girl would cause trouble in the house but look at us now. Ever since Mia joined our family, we've been living comfortably and prosperously," Hansen seemed to have forgotten the initial unpleasantness of their acquaintance.
He thought about all the snacks Mia took him to try and felt content, "Ice cream, I used to despise it. Sour sugar, I used to think it was junk food. Ever heard of popping candy? The tiny bits pop in your mouth, it's quite fascinating! I never knew about these. Where would I find these delicacies without Mia? I've lived for so long, if I hadn't tried these, wouldn't I have been missing out? Do you know what Indian snacks taste like? Spicy yet aromatic! I've never tasted anything like this before. This kid treats me better than my own son!"
Hansen showered Mia with praises.
The butler could sense the pride in Hansen's words.
"Ms. Mia is not your average girl. She's unique, always full of creative ideas."
"Exactly. Don't forget who her father-in-law is," Hansen boasted, "Andre made the right choice marrying Mia. This young girl changed Naomi's perception of her, changed my preferences, and even changed Andre's personality. Have you ever seen Andre smile at anybody? No! But look at him now, ever since he married Mia, he's been grinning from ear to ear."
The more Hansen talked, the more he appreciated Mia.
"I wonder what delicious food she's going to introduce to me today?"
Before long, the school bell rang, signaling the end of class.
Mia and Leo walked out of the classroom and headed to the track field.
"Mia, Leo; Hansen is waiting at the track field. You two go ahead. I'll change and be right there," Jade told them.
