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.
