The Real and Fake Husband Chapter 1

In the Kindergarten parents group chat, my daughter's teacher suddenly tagged me in her message.

[Ms. Palmer, thank you for sponsoring the playground for our kindergarten. Please convey our gratitude to Mr. Lautner.]

I was a bit surprised. I had complained to my husband about the old playground facilities at my daughter's school sometimes ago, but I did not expect him to take it to heart.

I replied with a smile in the group chat.

[You're welcome. I'll convey your message to my husband.]

As soon as my message was sent out, another message jumped out.

[Who are you talking nonsense to? The CEO of Lautner Group is obviously my husband!]

[Ms. Vaughan, if your eyesight is not good, go see a doctor. If you dare to help my husband find a wife again, believe it or not, I will make him withdraw his investment!]

The group chat instantly went wild, and the teacher apologized repeatedly.

I was a bit confused, so I asked her if she had mistaken someone.

To my surprise, she threw her marriage certificate into the group chat.

[Take a good look! Daniele and I are a legal couple. You are not my husband's mistress, are you?]

Looking at the familiar face on the marriage certificate, I could not sit still anymore and called my husband overseas.

"Daniele, are you crazy? You're actually having a mistress behind my back!"

——

The moment I was having dinner at home, my daughter's kindergarten teacher, Andrea Vaughan, posted a photo in a parents group chat and sent a message tagging me.

[Ms. Palmer, thank you for sponsoring the playground for our kindergarten. Please convey our gratitude to Mr. Lautner.]

I clicked on the photo. It was an unfinished playground.

I was a bit surprised because last month, I complained to my husband, Daniele Lautner, about the playground facilities in our daughter's kindergarten.

I did not expect him to take it to heart.

I replied with a smile in the group chat.

[You're too polite, Ms. Vaughan. I will convey your words to my husband. I'll have to trouble you more in the future for my family.]

The parents group chat was instantly in an uproar.

[I was wondering why our school was willing to spend money to build a new playground. It turns out that the Lautners funded it and we all benefited from it.]

[No wonder Daphne’s mommy looks so rich. She's actually the wife of the CEO of Lautner Group. She is usually too low-key.]

Andrea quickly replied.

[You're too polite. It's my honor to be Daphne's teacher.]

[By the way, Daphne said a few days ago that she liked the Panna Cotta I made. If you don't mind, I'll make some other day and bring it to her on the way.]

I quickly responded. [Thank you, Ms. Vaughan.]

My daughter, Daphne Lautner, had always been a picky eater and rarely found anything she liked.

But unexpectedly, as soon as I sent the message, an account with the nickname Miguel’s mommy suddenly popped up.

[What nonsense are you talking about? Mr. Lautner is obviously my husband.]

[Ms. Vaughan, if your eyesight is not good, go see a doctor. If you dare to help my husband find a wife again, believe it or not, I will make him withdraw his investment!]

[My husband donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to build a new playground to make his son happy. How can anyone be so shameless as to try to claim it!]

I was a bit puzzled, was it possible that the Lautner Group had two CEO?

There must be a misunderstanding, so I asked her patiently. [Ms. Reitman, are you mistaken someone?]

I did not expect Miguel's mother, Bianca Reitman, to explode.

[It looks like you're going to keep talking nonsense. I'll shut your mouth with evidence.]

Just as she finished her words, she sent a photo of her marriage certificate into the group chat.

She also sarcastically said.

[Take a good look! Daniele and I are a legal couple. Do you think you can become the CEO's wife just by saying a few nonsense in the group? How ridiculous!"

[You said Daniele is your husband. You are not his mistress, are you?]

[In this day and age, the mistress dares to challenge the legal wife? I've never seen anything like this before!]

I clicked on the so-called marriage certificate photo. I saw that it was actually my husband's photo.

Even the name was exactly the same.

I froze for a moment.

When did my husband get married to someone else behind my back?

Just when I was in a daze, those people in the parent group chat who had just complimented me suddenly changed their bias.
