Chapter 1124
Mia sensed that having a child like Asher in the same kindergarten as Sage and Ginger was akin to having a ticking time bomb.
She couldn't risk such a potential threat to her children's safety.
Given Luna's desperation, Mia feared the actions she might take in the future.
Regardless, she had to ensure that Asher left the school.
Upon noticing Mia's presence, Tonya's expression grew noticeably complex.
She then addressed Asher, saying, "Mr. Asher, when Mr. Shelbert arrives, remember what to say, okay? Let him stand by you. We'll see who dares to challenge you then." Tonya believed Mia's status as the heiress of the esteemed Lane family carried no weight. After all, Asher still retained the position of the mayor's grandson.
Mia scoffed, "Do you truly believe Mr. Shelbert would show up? Don't be absurd. He wouldn't involve himself in such an embarrassing affair."
As soon as Mia's words trailed off, Asher exploded and yelled, "You bitch, it's all your fault!"
Upon hearing this, Mia turned to Asher and retorted, "If you're looking for someone to blame, blame your mother. It's her actions that have led to this situation." "Mia, what nonsense are you filling my son's head with?"
Suddenly, Luna rushed over. She had initially prepared to confront whoever had harmed Asher, only to discover it was none other than Mia's son, Sage.
Luna hadn't realized Mia had twins back then.
Mia's expression soured. "With your son speaking so rudely, one can only question the values you've instilled in him. How does it benefit you to lead him down this path?"
"Mia, spare me your moral outrage. Your son initiated the conflict," Luna countered sharply.
"Well, that's because Asher insulted Sage first, saying he doesn't have a father," Mia shot back.
"But isn't that the truth?" Luna retorted, a cold smile playing on her lips.
Mia's expression shifted abruptly at Luna's remark. She was on the brink of unleashing her anger when a tall figure approached from the side.
It was Timothy. With a stern demeanor, he interjected, "Luna, since when has Sage been without a father?"
As Timothy entered the office, Mia was momentarily taken aback. What was he doing here?
Luna, too, was caught off guard by Timothy's sudden appearance. Her expression shifted uneasily as she countered, "What's the issue? I didn't say anything untrue, did I?
"You two are divorced, and Mia never bothered to inform you about Sage's existence all these years. So, from Sage's perspective, isn't it as though he doesn't have a father?"
"Enough!" Timothy's voice held a
stern edge as he addressed Luna "Look at the influence you've had on Asher. From today onward, you are not to be near him. I will take Asher back to the Barrett residence."
"And who are you to make that decision? Asher is my son, for heaven's sake. Besides, he's destined to be Mr. Shelbert's grandson. What could he possibly gain by returning to the Barrett family with you?"
There was a hint of madness in Luna's gaze.From NôvelDrama.Org.
Ignoring Luna's words, Timothy shifted his attention to Asher. "What about you? Do you want to stay with her?"
Asher remained silent, though Luna kept a firm hold on his hand. "Asher, please say something," she urged.
After a moment, Asher finally spoke, "I want to stay with Mommy."
Upon hearing Asher's declaration, Luna arrogantly stated, "Did you hear that? Asher prefers to be with me. After all, I'm the one who truly cares for him and plans for his future." Mia narrowed her eyes upon hearing Luna's boasting. "You're probably just planning for your own benefit, aren't you?"
Feeling somewhat vulnerable after
Mia's observation, Luna swiftly
turned to Timothy. "If you intend to
take Asher away, you may, but one condition-you must acknowledge only Asher as child.
"You cannot recognize Mia's children as part of the Barrett family, nor can you designate any inheritance to them in the future."
Mia scoffed in response. "As if I would be interested."
Upon Mia's words, Timothy's gaze turned toward her, his expression betraying a mix of complexity and emotion.
