Chapter 1156
Diane was taken aback by Mia's pointed words.
Turning to Patricia, she pleaded, "Aunt Patricia, please, I was only trying to assist her. After all, it's incredibly challenging for a woman to raise children on her own."
Patricia rose from her seat, her tone resolute. "I believe Mia is correct. I made it clear this morning that she's not interested in any blind dates. Besides, Mia is financially independent. She doesn't need to depend on any man."
"But you don't have to be so harsh about it," Diane countered.
"Then how should I put it? Look at the man you're introducing-he's a mama's boy who doesn't even earn as much as Mia. How can he possibly measure up to her?"
Upon hearing Mia being insulted, Patricia's gentle demeanor vanished, replaced by a fiery temper.
However, Pamela was not ready to back down. "Tsk, tsk. Isn't your niece just a designer? If she's earning that much, who knows where all that money is coming from? "Women like her without notable connections must be relying on other means to secure projects."
Patricia's voice simmered with anger as she roared, "What are you implying? Mia earns an honest living with her talents! Who are you to pass judgment on her? "Just because your son struggles to make ends meet, do you think everyone else is in the same predicament?"
"But who can truly say what's happening here? After all, it's common knowledge that designers don't amass that kind of wealth.
"You should be thankful that my son is willing to overlook your niece's past. He's essentially doing her a favor by considering this match.
"However, if she genuinely turns over a new leaf and they end up married with twins, well, though with some hesitation, I might just offer them my blessing."
Patricia countered sharply, her hands resting firmly on her hips, "Oh, come on. Show some decency, will you? Talking about twins-have you ever considered your son's role in this?
"You keep claiming your ex-daughter-in-law couldn't conceive, yet she underwent a medical examination and was in perfect health. Maybe the issue lies with your son."
Enraged, Pamela lunged at Patricia, her fists swinging. "Shut your mouth, you old hag! Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?"
Seeing Patricia being attacked, Mia hurried forward to intervene. However, Noah swiftly shoved Mia aside, causing her to crash into the sofa.
Upon hearing the commotion, Sage
and Ginger rushed out to see what was happening. At the sight of the chaos, Ginger became overwhelmed with fear and began to cry
uncontrollably.
Without hesitation, Sage seized a nearby object and charged at Noah, but Noah's strength far exceeded his own.
Seeing Sage about to be overpowered, Mia's heart leaped into her throat. "Stop right there!" she exclaimed.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
At that critical moment, several individuals burst through the front door.
Timothy strode forward, using one foot to shove Noah away before scooping Sage into his arms.
Lowering his gaze to Sage, concern and urgency tinged his voice. "Are you alright? Where did he hurt you?"
Sage stared at him blankly for a moment before exclaiming indignantly, "He hit Mommy!"
Timothy turned his attention to Mia, swiftly approaching her. "Are you hurt?"
"It's nothing serious, just minor injuries. Aunt Patricia also got hurt," Mia replied, moving forward to help Patricia to her feet. "Are you okay?"
With visible wounds on her face, Patricia gently held her waist, indicating a possible sprain sustained during the altercation.
Meanwhile, Pamela picked herself up from the ground, shooting a sly glance at Mia and Timothy.
"Well, well if it isn't the sugar daddy
himself. My suspicions earlier seem to be justified. How else could a designer like her be earning s much?"
Upon noticing Timothy's striking appearance, Noah felt a pang of insecurity.
Unable to contain his bitterness, he addressed Timothy directly, "Don't be deceived by this woman. While she's cozying up to you, she's also trying to go on a date with me."
