Chapter 1127
Mia grasped Timothy's tie firmly, her gaze unwavering as she stated, "However, in my perspective, you're not the best option."
Releasing his tie, she stepped into the car, rolling down the window to address Timothy on the roadside. "By the way, how did you find out about the altercation between the kids today?" Was it once again through Ginger's updates?
Timothy met her gaze and replied, "I'm aware the children attend school here, so I've taken measures to ensure I receive reports about their activities. As their father, it's my responsibility to stay informed about their education."
His explanation appeared reasonable.
Fixing her eyes on Timothy, Mia responded, "In that case, perhaps you could refrain from spontaneously showering the children with gifts."
"Why not? Are you concerned I might win them over with presents?" he challenged.
"Don't be absurd. Our children aren't that shallow. You can't simply sway them with material possessions.
"Besides, they've been raised with everything they've ever wanted since they were young, so they're not superficial like that."
With those words, Mia turned and departed.
Soon after, she received a call from Dominic. "Mia, can you fill me in on who Sage had a confrontation with at kindergarten?" he asked.
Realizing she couldn't conceal the truth any longer, Mia recounted the incident in detail.
"Anyway, I'm planning to have Asher transferred out of this kindergarten. I honestly can't take the risk of having a potential troublemaker like him near Sage and Ginger. Who knows what Luna might encourage Asher to do."Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
After all, it was prudent to err on the side of caution. At times, children could prove to be even more unpredictable than adults, especially in heated situations.
"Alright, I'll handle that matter. By the way, Mia, what's going on between you and Timothy? He's been spending time in Nord City, and his association with Mr. Shelbert appears rather ambiguous. Is Timothy attempting to leverage Mr. Shelbert to undermine the Lane family?" Dominic asked.

After a moment of reflection, Mia replied earnestly, "Dominic, the situation between Timothy and I isn't as complex as you think. However, I don't believe he would join forces with Mr. Shelbert to suppress our family."
Even if it were for the well-being of Sage and Ginger, Mia questioned whether Timothy would go to such lengths.
Dominic pressed further, "Are you absolutely certain? Timothy's level of concern for Luna's child seems a tad excessive, wouldn't you agree?"
Mia couldn't help but consider Timothy's position and his connection to Asher upon hearing this. However, she knew she couldn't disclose the entire truth to Dominic. After all, Timothy's privacy was at stake.
In response, Mia simply stated, "It's not that he's overly interested in Asher. It's just that Asher does indeed have some connection to the Barrett family."
Mia opted to share only that Asher's father was the illegitimate child of Timothy's father, holding back the information about Timothy's own illegitimate status.
Dominic responded with a disdainful
snort. "Well, it appears there isn't a
single decent soul among the Barrett family. To think they would dare to harm our family's children-1 won't let them get away with it, not for a moment."
"Dominic," Mia began, but before she could say more, Dominic had already ended the call.
Despite this, Mia knew that continuing the conversation would be fruitless.
But she was resolved not to avoid the issue any longer.
With Jasmine preparing for a confrontation with Raymond, it was only fitting for Mia to do the same.
Shortly after returning to her office, Mia's phone rang, and it was Raymond on the line. "Ms. Lane, do you have a moment to talk?"
"Mr. Shelbert, whatever it is, you can say it over the phone," Mia responded briskly.
She already had a suspicion about the reason for Raymond's call.
Raymond's tone turned solemn. "I'm aware of the incident at the kindergarten today. But children will be children, so there's no need to exaggerate the situation. Must Asher be transferred to another school because of this?" S
