[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.

I was stunned, and the mothers watching behind me burst into laughter.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered that in order to take care of the villa, I hired a housekeeper and lived here all year round.

She was Margaret Turner. She had been working here for three years. I often gave her extra salary every holiday.

Last year at this time, I even had a face-to-face meeting with her and she was able to testify on my behalf.

Thinking of this, I immediately rang the doorbell.

Soon, Margaret opened the door and came out.

She was surprised to see me.

"Ms. Palmer, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

My eyes lit up, I grabbed her hand and said, "Margaret, please explain to these people what kind of relationship I have with Daniele."

Margaret glanced at Bianca in a somewhat evasive manner, immediately pulled her hand away, and stuttered.

"Ms. Palmer, it's fine that you and Mr. Lautner come to the villa for private meetings every time, but why are you embarrassing me in front of his real wife now?"

"If you ask me, we women should have some backbone, otherwise our children will be stabbed in the back in the future," she said.

"I advise you to turn back from your wrong path as soon as possible and stop doing such shameful things."

Listening to her words, I was completely stunned.

It seemed that every time my husband and I came here for vacation, the servants thought I was a mistress?

Biance stood nearby, almost unable to suppress the smile on her face.

She patted Margaret's shoulder with a relieved expression on her face.

"Since you tell the truth, your salary will be doubled from now on!"

Margaret was delighted.

"Thank you, Ms. Lautner! I will definitely fulfill my duties and do my job well."

I was about to say something else when I suddenly heard my daughter crying.

When I looked back, I saw Miguel grabbing Daphne's neck and pushing her face into the mud on the beach.

I was shocked and rushed forward to rescue my daughter.

But I was kicked from behind by Bianca and fell to the ground.

Seeing my daughter being bullied, several mothers not only did not rescue her, but also gave a thumbs up to Miguel.

"Miguel is so domineering, worthy of being the successor of the Lautner Family. At such a young age, he knows how to help his mommy teach that little bitch a lesson."

I did not care about the dirt on my body, I rushed over, picked up my daughter, and wiped the mud off her face.

My daughter was crying so hard that she was out of breath.

"I just don't want My Little Pony to get dirty, but Miguel insisted on letting me eat sand ...."

Hearing this, the boy raised his head.

"Who let you meddle in other people's affairs? It's my own kayak, I can play with it however I like!"

Bianca looked proud and added. "My son is right. We won't give our things to that little bitch even if they are broken!"

"If I find it again next time, it won't be as simple as eating sand!"

Daphne sobbed and said, "Mom, I didn't ...."

I was trembling with anger.

"Ms. Reitman, is this how you educate your son? He bullied his classmates, and not only did you not do anything, you even supported him!"

Bianca looked indifferent.

"What's the big deal? My husband is the CEO of the Lautner Group. Even if my son killed your daughter, the most he would have to pay is some money. There's nothing to be surprised about."

Several mothers followed suit.

I looked at them and could not help but sneer in my heart.

Did having money and power mean disregarding human life?

If Daniele did not give me an explanation for this matter, then I did not want to be his wife anymore!

At this moment, my daughter suddenly had an asthma attack because she was too excited.

The small backpack that could hold medicine had been thrown into the sea by Miguel and could no longer be used.

I was extremely anxious and wanted to call for help, but my phone was out of battery and the people around me just stood by and watched the fun.

Seeing my daughter's breathing becoming more and more rapid, I picked her up and rushed outside.

At this moment, a luxury car suddenly stopped in front of the villa.

A familiar figure wearing a high-end suit slowly got off the car.
