Even though she was a part-time principal and didn't really worry about school matters, she can't just sit back and watch the students run wild. Mia gave her instructions and walked away with her handbag. Her family followed suit, and Molly silently gave Mia a thumbs-up. It was only after they got into the car that the three of them started to relax. Molly said, "Mia, I still don't know how you're going to stop the students from cheating." When faced with her family, Mia showed her inner conflict. "Actually, I'm not sure if what I'm doing is right, but I always feel that being strict with them and making them review the learning materials is for their own good."

Leo glanced at the time and asked the two ladies next to him, "Let me ask you both, where do you want to go? Shall we have dinner, go home, or should I take you somewhere fun?"

Molly said, "Take me to the police station. I need to meet up with my brother."

Mia said, "Go to Cedillo Inc. I want to see my husband."

Leo's tone unexpectedly sounded cheerful. "Alright!"

Mia asked him again, "Leo, where are you going next?"

Leo replied, "I have my own matters to attend to."

Mia urged him, "Don't stay out too late."

"Got it."

After dropping off the two ladies at their respective destinations, Leo left in his car.

Mia went straight to her husband's office, but there was no one inside. Alice and Noah, who were outside the door, were also absent. Mia grabbed a drink and returned to the office to wait.

After a while, Andre appeared. He walked while giving Alice instructions about the year-end matters within the company. Alice remembered everything he said.

When Andre returned to his office, he passed by the secretary's area and casually asked one of the employees, "Has my wife arrived?"

"Yes, Mrs. Cedillo is waiting for you in the office," the employee replied.

Andre nodded and told him to continue working, then he entered his office. Mia was watering the flowers boredly, using a water cup. She was about to go to the break room to get more water when she turned around and saw her husband had returned. "Andre, where did you go just now?" Mia asked.
