"Sometimes, whether or not to believe isn't up to what others say, but once mentioned, it leaves a knot in the heart, wouldn't you agree?"
Facing Mia Clarke's sarcastic remarks, Julia Bennett eventually maintained her composure. She knew Mia wouldn't do anything excessive, she just enjoyed causing trouble.
Ever since Mia lost her child, she became like this, making Julia both disgusted and sympathetic towards her.
"Alright, I'm just giving you a reminder, nothing more. It's late, go to sleep."
Mia Clarke watched Julia Bennett's back with a sly smile and called out, "Thank you for the reminder then."
...
"Good morning, Norman." Mia greeted with a seductive smile, her every move causing discomfort.
It was three in the morning, and Norman Bennett had just come out of the study. He didn't expect to find Mia at the door.
Seeing the unapproachable look on Norman's face, Mia still smiled gently, "Norman, do you dislike me that much? After all, I am your stepmother, right?"
