Chapter 931: Mia, Move to the Backyard

Tina's brow twitched slightly, but she said nothing.

Mia's face darkened with anger, her eyes glaring viciously at Ruud. "I'm your aunt. How dare you curse me?"

Ruud, still irritated from his earlier dealings with Jared, directed all his frustration at Mia. "At your age, it's normal for something to go wrong with your body. If one day you don't wake up, none of us would be surprised."

Mia, standing for a long time, suddenly swayed. She pointed a trembling finger at Ruud but directed her words at Warren. "Brother, this is the son you raised? He has no respect for his elders, no decorum at all. He's cursing me to die right in front of you!"

Ruud stood his ground, calm and unrepentant, his expression clearly saying, Yes, you heard me right. That's exactly what I mean.

Mia's breathing quickened with rage. She wailed and slumped to the ground, her voice shrill with indignation. "Brother, I'm your own sister! Your nephew dares treat me like this in your presence. He doesn't respect you, the family, or anyone. You have to stand up for me!"

Ruud watched Mia's hysterics coldly.

Having spent years on the frontlines, he never cared for these so-called family rules. He had his own principles: anyone who dared to harm his wife or daughter would pay with their life. No exceptions. "Enough!"

Warren's voice cut through like a whip, silencing the room. His cold gaze landed on Mia, his expression complicated.

"I don't want to talk about what happened two days ago anymore. Since you've said you want to apologize to Alina and Tina, then show some sincerity. You're too old to be making a spectacle of yourself in front of the younger generation. You're an embarrassment, and I'm ashamed for you."

Mia's breath caught in her throat, her face turning an ashen gray.

She had just returned to the family and hadn't even had a sip of water before her brother demanded she apologize to the grandchildren in front of everyone.

But now, all she could do was endure.

If she wanted to achieve her goals, this humiliation was nothing.

Mia stood up slowly, brushed off nonexistent dust from her clothes, and reluctantly spoke. "Alina, I apologize. It was my fault."

Alina raised her eyes, her lips curving into a cold, mocking smile. "I'll accept your words, but I think you're apologizing to the wrong person."

Mia bit her lip, her face twisting with resentment as she turned to Tina, who was sitting beside Warren.
