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.

[So Miguel's mommy is the real CEO's wife. I was almost fooled by the fake one. What a close call.]

[That's right, she's not a mistress, is she? Isn't it true that all mistresses can't see the light of day? Why is she still arrogant in front of the real wife with her illegitimate daughter? Shame on her!]

[Ms. Palmer, why are you silent? Are you running away and then hiding somewhere?]

I did not pay attention to those speculations and slanderous words, but stared at the marriage certificate in a daze.

I did not know if it was because of the angle, but I felt like the stamp on the marriage certificate was not very clear.

I circled the photo and asked.

[Ms. Reitman, your marriage certificate doesn't seem to have a stamp, could it be fake?]

Seeing what I typed, Bianca got angry.

She quickly sent out a few detailed pictures of the marriage certificate, and also sent the contract that Daniele sponsored the kindergarten to the group chat.

[Ms, Palmer, you will be held legally responsible for making up rumors!]

[I was thinking that since your daughter and my son are classmates, I would not make things difficult for you, but I didn't expect you to go even further!]

I clicked on the photo and I saw that there was indeed a clear stamp on the marriage certificate.

There was no problem with that contract either.

I was not aware of my husband's sponsorship of a playground for the kindergarten, so I had never seen the contract.

But how could Bianca has a photo of the contract?

Just as I was lost in thought, Andrea suddenly sent me a few messages.

[Ms. Palmer, why don't you apologize to Ms. Reitman? Maybe there's still room for discussing.]

[Don't blame me for being rude. Since you are a mistress, you should be prepared to live a life of humiliation. You let your illegitimate daughter hang around under the nose of the real wife every day. Isn't this causing trouble for us, the teacher and staff? Listen to my advice and let Daphne move out of our school immediately.

Seeing these messages, I suddenly felt a little angry and tagged Bianca in the group chat.

[Are you the legal representative of my company? Do you know that it is illegal to leak the contract without authorization?]

[Apart from Daniele, only the company's legal department has access to the contract.]

Unexpectedly, Bianca started a voice chat in the group chat.

"You already know you're wrong but still stubborn?"

"Ms. Vaughan, if you still want to keep your job, please handle this matter well. I don't want to see Daphne the next time I go to school to pick up Miguel!"

"By the way, tomorrow is Miguel's birthday. I invite everyone to have a party at my villa!"

I was so angry. They could misunderstand me, but they could not misunderstand my daughter.

However, as soon as I was about to explain, I realized that I had been kicked by the group owner.

I quickly contacted Andrea, asking her to help clarify the matter.

But she just replied lightly,

"Ms. Palmer, didn't I ask you to apologize to Ms. Reitman? Why are you so stubborn not to listen to my advice? Remember to help Daphne go to the kindergarten to complete the withdrawal procedures tomorrow!"

Immediately after, she blocked me.

I was a bit confused, so I immediately brought out my marriage certificate with my husband.

The stamp on it was clearly visible.

I compared to the one Bianca uploaded to the group, which was almost the same as mine.

It was just that she got her marriage certificate two months later than me.

I recalled carefully that day, Daniele had injured his ankle playing basketball and had been lying in bed for a week.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to run out and get a certificate from someone else.

I was still worried, so I called the company secretary and asked her if Daniele had cheated on me.

I brought and introduced this secretary to the company, and she had been in charge of my husband's personal schedule.

But the secretary said to me in a positive tone,

"Lucia, Mr. Lautner is known to be very devoted to his wife and daughter. If even he cheats, there will be no reliable men in this world."

If Daniele did not cheat, then what about Miguel's mother?

Was she the wife and son of Daniele in parallel time and space?

I was getting more and more confused.

I wanted to call my husband immediately to find out what was going on.

But looking at the time difference, it happened to be midnight on his side, and it was not too late for half a day.

The holiday was coming soon, so I took my daughter to a villa by the sea to relax.

I decided to wait until Daniele came back and then asked him about this matter clearly.

Surprisingly, when I drove my daughter to the sea view villa, I ran into Bianca playing on the beach in front of the villa with a dozen children and mothers.

Seeing me appear with my daughter, she looked disdainful.

"I was wondering why some people didn't go through the withdrawal procedures. It turns out they followed me here. What, do you want to apologize to me in person?"

I felt puzzled. "What apology?"

Andrea suddenly came over and pulled me aside.

"Ms. Palmer, Ms. Reitman has already taken us to visit her sea view villa and there are still her wedding photos hanging inside. Don't embarrass yourself here."

"If I were you, I would have taken my daughter out of school and moved to another city. Why would you come here and humiliate yourself?"

I was a little speechless.

"My daughter didn't do anything wrong. Why should she drop out of school?"

"Also, I took my daughter out to relax today. I don't want to argue, please don't provoke me."

Just as my words fell, I was going to take my daughter to the beach villa.

The sea water temperature was just right this season, and my daughter had been talking about it for several days.

There was also a "My Little Pony" kayak that I customized specifically for her in the villa.

But I did not expect that before I took a few steps, I was stopped by a woman.

"This is Ms. Reitman's villa. You were not invited. Why do you want to come in uninvited? You are so shameless!"

I did not understand them.

"This is clearly my villa, when did it become Ms. Reitman's?"

Bianca sneered and said with disdain, "Ms. Palmer, you are such a braggart. Yesterday you said my husband is yours, and now you say my villa is also yours. How can you be so shameless?"

As soon as I finished my words, a dozen mothers surrounded me and started pointing and talking, and Daphne hid behind me in fear.

Just then, Andrea suddenly handed me a phone that was on a call.

I took it. I saw that it was the principal, Elijah Winston.

"Ms. Palmer, your behavior has been too bad and has affected other children. After careful consideration, our kindergarten has decided to expel Daphne. The procedures have been completed, and Daphne will no longer need to come to our kindergarten."

I was totally pissed off.

If I remembered correctly, the playground sponsored by my family seems to be unfinished, right?

My husband also mentioned casually that he would like to sponsor another activity room for the school next summer.

It was ridiculous that they wanted to dismiss the sponsor's daughter now!

I snorted coldly and asked over the phone,

"Ms. Winston, are you sure you want to expel my daughter? Aren't you afraid that I will complain to the Department of Education?"

The principal on the other end of the phone felt somewhat helpless.

"Ms. Palmer, could you please stop being so unreasonable? Who made you offend Ms. Reitman, the wife of the Lautner Group's CEO? If she gets angry, the school won't have an activity room next year. If you know what's best for you, take Daphne with you and leave. Otherwise, if we offend the CEO of the Lautner Group, none of us will be happy!"

I was a bit stunned because only Daniele and I knew about sponsoring the activity room for the kindergarten.

How did the principal know?

Could it be that Bianca was really Daniele’s mistress?

So that was why she leaked this news to the principal?

No, I had to confront Daniele immediately and figure out what was going on.

To bad, when I was about to make a phone call, I realized that my phone had run out of battery and turned off.

In that moment, I saw Miguel Lautner running out of the villa dragging an inflated kayak.

Wasn’t this the "My Little Pony" kayak I customized for Daphne?

It was not expensive, but it was unique.

The pink small kayak was dragged and kicked by the chubby and strong Miguel, and the patterns on it were scratched.

My daughter's eyes were filled with tears.

"My Little Pony ...."

I quickly shouted. "That's Daphne's kayak. Who told you to take it out?"

The small kayak was customized according to my daughter's height and weight. If it was damaged after being dragged so violently, it would definitely be dangerous in the water.

Miguel was startled by my yelling.

He grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at me and my daughter.

"This is clearly a birthday present my dad gave me. How could it be Daphne's?"

"You bad woman, you must be my father's mistress! I'm going to drive you and Daphne away!"

As soon as the words fell, the mothers around immediately let out contemptuous voices.

"She? She's so skinny that no one would look at her even if she took off all her clothes and stood on the street! And she's a mistress?"

"That's right. I think she just has a crush on Mr. Lautner. Maybe she even gave birth to her daughter using a condom she secretly picked up."

"How can she be so shameless? It's really ruining our values! Fortunately, Ms. Winston understood the situation and drop out this little bitch. Otherwise, when she grows up, she might be as bitchy as her mommy."

Listening to these people's rumors and slander, I was completely angry.

"You guys not only broke into my house, but also slandered me and my daughter. I'm calling the police to arrest you!"

I was about to take out my mobile phone and call the police.

But then, I remembered that my phone was running out of battery and turning off.

As if guessing my helplessness, a woman suddenly pointed at me and burst out laughing.

"See? Even God is helping us!"

"So, what's the point of calling the police? The first person the police will arrest is definitely you, a morally corrupt bitch!"

"Besides, don't you see what kind of status Ms. Reitman has? Even the police have to give her some face."

Faced with everyone's praise and bias, Bianca was very proud.

"You're the one who knows what's good for you. Didn't you say you wanted your daughter to go to a major elementary school? I'll ask my husband, Daniele, to tell him. I'll make sure it's a good deal."

Hearing these, the mothers face turned red with excitement.

"Thank you, Ms. Reitman. You are worthy of being the CEO's wife. Your demeanor is different from some people."

I was completely speechless by the arrogant appearance of Bianca.

The city’s major elementary school had strict indicators. How could she accomplish this by just agreeing casually?

Even if she did have a secret relationship with Daniele, wouldn't it bring him bad luck?

Seeing that I was frowning and not saying anything, Bianca raised her eyebrows and pointed at the gate of the sea view villa and said, "I'll give you one more chance to prove yourself. Didn't you say this is your villa? Then you should know the password to the door, right?"

I was too lazy to bother with her. The password to the sea view villa had always been my daughter's birthday.

But when I entered these numbers, there was an electronic prompt sound indicating an incorrect password.
