My Mommy Became A Billionaire After the Breakup
Chapter 1886

Chapter 1886 Punishment

In the end, the matter of Mia falling into the water couldn't be kept a secret from Rose forever.

Rose didn't say anything that night, only watching Mia eat until she was full, then asked Alice to bathe Mia and take her to sleep.

Mia initially thought that everything was fine.

Unexpectedly, when she woke up the next day, Rose immediately vented her anger at her.

In all these years, Mia had never seen Rose being so angry.

Every time she made a mistake in the past and Athena got angry at her, and Rose would always protect her and argue about it with Athena.

But now, Mia was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe.

Rose slapped the table. "Don't you realize how important you are to so many people?"

"Okay, that's enough. She already knows her mistake." Jaxson couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to speak up for Mia. "She won't do it again in the future!"

Rose berated Jaxson, "Jaxson, what if she wasn't dragged out of the water?"

Even such a stern and strong man like Jaxson almost cried upon hearing it.

"But she had been saved, right? She's standing here safe and sound now," he muttered.

"It was just pure luck! They were all only children and a dog! It was a miracle no matter how you put it, don't you understand?!" Rose slapped the table again and shouted, her voice choked up. Hearing Rose choke up, Mia hurriedly ran over to hug her. She quickly apologized, "Madam Stella, I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong. I've promised Mommy that this will never happen again!" "Stop using your trick on me!" Rose pushed her away and scolded, "Go back to your room, and don't come out until you know your mistakes!"

"Okay! I'll do it! Please don't be angry..."

After coaxing Rose, Mia walked back to her room. She didn't dare to cry, only quietly wiping her tears on the way.

"Come on, Grandma. You can't be agitated like this for too long. It's bad for your heart," Athena said while gently patting Rose's back.

"This time is different from any other time..." Rose put her hand on her chest above her heart. "I didn't even dare to close my eyes last night. I wanted to go upstairs, wake that brat up, and beat her hard until she knows her lesson!"

"Yes, I think that can work. Why don't I call her over, so you can beat her?" Athena said firmly.

Rose glared at her. "You're just fanning the flames!"

"Okay, okay," Athena said, then began to divert Rose's attention. "Evie and Pixie just woke up, so they're in high spirits now. How about we video-call them?"

Once the video call was connected, Pixie's face, which had gotten chubbier, almost filled the entire screen.

Hearing her giggles was also such a balm to the heart.

Rose's complexion had also improved a lot.

While Rose was distracted, Athena looked up as if she could see Mia upstairs through the ceiling.

To be precise, this was the first time Rose had become so angry with Mia.

This lesson was enough for her to remember for the rest of her life.

Rose's mood had turned much better after the video call. Then, she stood up and walked into Mia's room upstairs, glancing at Mia inside the room before asking, "Where's Byron?"

Rose was the one who punished her, and it was not even an hour, yet she already lifted her punishment. It seemed so childish.

At this time, someone needed to come out to beg for mercy.

Her granddaughter was capable of fanning the flames, but not begging for mercy.

That was why Rose was looking for Byron.

"He went to work," Athena said.

"Went to work? You're not going with him?" Rose asked in surprise.

"He went to see Liam. Liam has been cooperating with Byron recently to take care of some of Imbe Group's affairs," Athena answered, "I also want to do my own thing, so why should I follow him every day as if I'm his tail? Just let him do it himself! I'm happy to have a few days of leisure for myself!"

Rose stared at her before gently flicking her forehead. "You should've thought of it since the beginning! Can't you see how you've tired yourself out for the past half a year?"

Suddenly, Rose seemed to have thought of something as she asked, "By the way, are Ms. Campbell and Elijah still coming to Girard City?"

"I think so. What's wrong?"
