“I’m going to call the police if you leave without apologizing. Besides, I’ve used my phone to record everything you said to me earlier,” Mona said to the paparazzi. The paparazzo was furious. As for his peers, they either watched the show on the side or fled. None of them were willing to get involved. “Fine. I’ll apologize.” The paparazzo was desperate. He should have thought about the consequences he would face before attacking Mona. At that time, he did not expect her to be so tough. With that, the paparazzo made his way back and stood in front of Mona. Even though he looked reluctant, he still apologized. Mona frowned and remarked, “You’re too insincere if that’s how you’re going to apologize.” The paparazzo lazily looked up at Mona and asked, “What do you want me to do then, boss?” “Kneel and show your sincerity. We’ll see once you kneeled for an hour.” Mona said those words lightly and did not give the paparazzo a chance to say anything else. She turned around and e
Marianne placed her resume in front of Mona and obediently sat in her seat. “There is no need for me to see your resume.” Mona looked down to glance at the beautifully crafted resume. She then looked up at Marianne and said, “After all, you had the title of Timez Groupʼs movie queen, so you canʼt be too bad.” Marianne looked at Monaʼs calm expression. She looked disappointed and laughed at herself. “Why does it sound like youʼre scolding me?” “How could it be?” Mona clasped her hands together and smiled. “I witnessed how you went step by step from an independent model to a movie queen, after all.” “I only relied on a man,” Marianne mocked herself but quickly explained, “But donʼt get the wrong idea. When Thaddeus and I were together, nothing inappropriate happened between us.” Mona raised her eyebrow out of curiosity. “Oh? Whatʼs inappropriate?” “You should know.” Marianne had an ugly smile on her face. “There was a rumored scandal between us, and while the media reporter
When Mona arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, classes had not ended yet. She was tapped on the shoulder while she stood at the entrance. She turned to find that the woman standing behind her was Jennifer, Thaddeusʼs mom. Mona turned around to face Jennifer. She recalled their unhappy parting at the cafe last time. As such, she subconsciously ducked back to keep a distance from the other party. Jennifer glanced at the gate and sneered. “The kindergarten was arranged by Thaddeus, right? This isnʼt a kindergarten children can attend just because their parents have money. Children without enough connections canʼt get in.” Mona looked calm. “Itʼs a fatherʼs duty to provide his children with the best educational resources.” Jennifer listened to Monaʼs rightful tone. She looked displeased and asked indifferently, “Have you thought about what I said?” “What are you referring to, Aunt Jennifer?” Mona acted dumb and confused. “You always seem to show up out of the blue and s
Jennifer was talking to herself, but Mona happened to hear her. It took Mona a few seconds to understand what Jennifer meant by a “fake”. 'Hah. Even Jennifer knows about it,' Mona thought to herself. It seemed like the real Mona was no longer a secret, and she was the only one kept in the dark. Mona only found it absurd that she lived as someone elseʼs shadow for the past few years and was a joke to others. She turned to look at Jennifer with indifference and distance, “Since you think Iʼm substandard and useless, you should go and find the real Mona. Why did you come to me just to be displeased?” Jennifer was startled. She quickly covered her mouth and acted dumb as she responded, “What do you mean by real? Youʼre baffling. If you donʼt want to help, then fine. I wasnʼt expecting anything from you anyway.” After Jennifer finished, she rushed to leave. It was obvious she was trying to avoid the topic. Mona squinted her eyes and watched her leave. Suddenly, she thought of
Bobby and Millie held hands and ran toward Mona right away when they saw her. Mona spread out her arms to welcome the two little human bombs that were crashing in at full speed. "Mommy, Mommy, where did you go last night? Why didn't you pick us up from Great-Grandpa's house?” Millie rubbed her face against Monaʼs, which was sweet and intimate. Mona pinched her chubby little face with a gentle and doting smile. “I went to have a big meal last night.” “Wow, thatʼs amazing. Did Daddy take you out? Itʼs a pity that I wasnʼt there, or it wouldʼve been perfect.” Millie rubbed her small hands. Her face of full of excitement and anticipation. She had seen the news of the birthday celebration last night. She even repeatedly checked with Bobby to confirm it was a birthday surprise from their dad for their mom. After Bobby finished reading the news to her, she happily danced and even hummed on her way to kindergarten. She was even happier than Mona. Just when Millie was immersed
Bobby was extremely domineering as he protected Millie. He was unprincipled when it came to spoiling his sister. The boy hit by Millie was startled after being loudly reprimanded by Bobby. He sucked in the big snot hanging from his nose, threw himself into his momʼs arms again, and cried even harder. Mona was instantly troubled. It was normal for Bobby to be biased toward his sister, but was he not making things more difficult? As a parent and an adult, Mona could not be biased and had to be a good role model for her children. “Youʼre Jimʼs mom, right? How about you coax Jim first? Iʼll go stall a cab, and we can hurry to the hospital to get him checked,” Mona suggested to Jimʼs mom. Jimʼs mom responded, “Weʼre definitely going to the hospital, but your child has to take responsibility for hitting my son. Quickly ask her to apologize to my son.” Mona ignored her. She turned around and walked to the roadside to stall a cab. Since the incident happened was Millieʼs responsibi
Bobby was referring to Jimʼs mom. Mona gestured an okay sign to him and smiled. “Donʼt worry. Iʼm a superwoman. There’s nothing I can’t handle.” Bobby frowned slightly, looking very much like Thaddeus. “But Iʼm afraid that sheʼll be unreasonably pushy and unforgiving. Thatʼs the worst kind of person to deal with.” “Oh, donʼt worry for nothing. How serious can this be? Quickly get in the car to watch your sister. Iʼll be back soon.” Mona was glad about her childrenʼs concern for her but also felt sorry at the same time. They should be carefree at their age, but they still shared worries like adults. The consequence of being too understanding was bearing things they should not experience at their age. After feeling sad for a moment, Mona picked up her spirits and followed Jimʼs mom into the hospital for a checkup. While they were waiting outside the checkup room, a tall man walked over. The man had an unordinary temperament and wore an expensive suit jacket. It was clear he
Mona was dumbfounded after she heard that. She quickly composed herself and calmly faced the angry and indifference man in front of her. "Sir, since youʼre the principle of the kindergarten, thatʼs all the more reason for you to abide by the school rules and regulations and act according to them. You shouldnʼt abuse your power for selfish desires." Jimʼs dad looked down at Mona with arrogance and indifference. A contemptuous smile could be seen on his face. 'Sheʼs a woman, indeed. Short-sighted with poor insights.' “Babe, are you really going to expel her child?” Jimʼs mom tugged at his sleeve and acted coquettishly with a look of admiration on her face. “You love our son so much. Not every child is as lucky as him.” The man looked at his wife on the side and frowned slightly. He seemed to be a little displeased. “Donʼt simply talk.” His petite wife shivered down her shoulders. She pursed her lips and did not dare to say anything else. "This matter will be dealt with
