Hearing the familiar voice, Mia spun around. A poshly dressed middle-aged woman was making her way into the hall. Mia could never forget that face.


    It was Sharon.


    Mia didn''t expect Jasmine to invite Timothy''s mother to the charity banquet, so she was taken aback.


    That exined why Jasmine carefully asked Mia''s opinion of the Barrett family-because Sharon was invited! It hadn''t been long since Timothy revealed his rtionship with Mia.


    Everyone had been specting how Mia was able to marry into the Barrett family as an orphan behind her back. Not only that, they were also nosy about how the reason behind the divorce and why she took the child away. Most importantly, Timothy didn''t try to fight for custody rights!


    Sharon breezed through the hall with confident strides.


    The sight of Mia standing there irked her so much. After all, Mia had locked Sharon up as a threat back in Bern City!


    As the wife of the richest family in Bern City, never once had Sharon suffered such humiliation.


    What exasperated Sharon more was how Timothy took Mia''s side. He didn''t hold Mia ountable for it and sent Luna to prison instead!


    Instead of showing surprise, Mia smirked at Sharon. "Did I say something wrong? It is true that I have nothing to do with your family anymore."


    "Mia Lane, don''t think that you can be rude to someone just because you turned from an orphan to Ms. Lane!


    "Even if you and Timothy are divorced, I''m still your mother-inw, the grandmother of your child. Is this how you treat your seniors? What a bad example for your child!" Mia''s expression turned grim when Sharon mentioned her children.


    Mia took a few steps forward and Sharon retreated backward in surprise. She blurted frantically, "W-What are you trying to do? Don''t forget that there are many eyes watching. Are you going to hurt me?" The kidnap had cast a pall of trauma over Sharon as she began to see Mia as a lunatic woman. A lunatic woman with no moral principles.


    Drawing the distance between them closer, Mia lowered her voice. "What rights do you have to bring up my child? It was you and Luna trying to kill my kid together. Have you forgotten about it so soon? You don''t even have the right to be a grandmother."


    That pricked Sharon''s guilty conscience. She stuttered, "W-Why am I the one to be med? I didn''t know that the child was my granddaughter. If I had known sooner, I wouldn''t have done that!"


    "Is someone else''s daughter nothing to you? Who gave you the right to meddle between someone and their life savior? What makes you different from a murderer?"


    The guilt was settling in Sharon deeper and deeper. "Don''t use this trick on me, Mia Lane! If you hadn''t kept your child''s identity a secret, there wouldn''t have been a misunderstanding in the beginning!


    "I came to you because I have something to talk to you. My granddaughter should never be wandering outside the Barrett residence."


    The glint in Mia''s eyes changed. "Are you nning to fight for the custody rights?"Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "What do you mean to fight for? That child belongs to my son! After the divorce, she should follow us. That should be the right way to do it!


    "Why should she follow you to the Lane family and have Lane as her surname? This is uneptable!"


    "I thought you''ve never liked granddaughters? Aren''t you happy enough to have Ashley?"
