Chapter 1123 Upon hearing Tonya's statement, Mia raised an eyebrow in surprise.
The mayor's grandson? Was it what she suspected? Observing Mia's puzzled expression, Tonya misinterpreted it as shock.
She immediately seized the opportunity to gloat. "See? You're taken aback, aren't you? I told you, revealing our identity would definitely startle you." Turning to Casey beside her, Mia inquired, "Is this new student named Asher Maynard?" Casey nodded affirmatively. "Yes, do you know him?"
Mia was struck by the coincidence. She looked at the arrogant Tonya and remarked, "Aren't you just a nanny? | How dare you assume you can waltz in here and flaunt yourself?" "Who do you think you're insulting? You know I'm associated with Mr.
Shelbert's family, yet you dare speak to me like this? Clearly, you lack basic manners. Do you even have a man backing you since you talk so boldly?" Without hesitation, Mia raised her hand and delivered a sharp slap on Tonya's face.

"And why shouldn't I? If you're brave enough, have Mr. Shelbert come to me personally. Let him know that if anything happens to my son, the Lane family will hold all of you accountable." After saying her piece, Mia exited the office. At that moment, her only concern was to see Sage and ensure he wasn't injured.
In a state of shock, Tonya stared blankly at Casey. "Who is that woman, exactly?" "She's Ms. Lane," Casey responded.
"I mean, is she part of the prestigious Lane family?" Casey nodded. "Yes, she's the heiress of the Lane family, the wealthiest

This was indeed trouble.
As Mia walked toward the classroom, she spotted Sage sitting with Ginger.
Sage was engrossed ina book while Ginger played with toys.
Approaching them, Mia asked, "Sage, is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?" Upon seeing Mia, Ginger immediately stood up. "Mommy, it's not Sage's fault. The chubby kid started calling names first." Mia gently patted Ginger's head. "1 know it's not Sage's fault."
Lifting his head, Sage spoke calmly, "I'm not hurt. Uncle Nicholas taught me self-defense techniques at the research institute." "Yeah, Sage pinned the chubby kid down and gave him a good beating. It was so cool." Upon hearing Ginger's words, Mia felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
She had been concerned about the potential repercussions of Sage's scuffle, but it seemed she had been worrying unnecessarily.
Glancing at Sage and Ginger, Mia said, "Well, I'm relieved that everything turned out okay. Could you tell me why you two ended up fighting?" After all, Casey mentioned she couldn't

Sage hesitated briefly before responding, "It's nothing." Mia turned to Ginger, who spoke indignantly, "That chubby kid was hurling insults at you, remember? Anyway, Sage couldn't stand it, so he acted out. That chubby kid's mom isa mean lady." Indeed, Ginger had encountered Luna before and always harbored a strong dislike for her, particularly since Luna had once nearly interfered with Sage receiving medical treatment.
As Mia contemplated this, she fell silent for a moment. She started to grasp the reason behind Asher's sudden animosity toward Sage.
It seemed evident that Asher had not been raised properly.
Addressing Sage and Ginger, Mia assured them, "I see it NOW. You two don't need to worry about this. I'll take care of it." After ensuring her children were safe, Mia left and headed back to the office.
With Sage unharmed, the other matters could be easily resolved.
Upon entering the office, Mia noticed Asher was present.
When Asher spotted her, his eyes brimmed with resentment, reflecting the same hostility Mia had witnessed during their previous encounter.
