Grace smiled at student and said. “I’m sorry I can’t teach you all any longer.”
The children were dismayed. They loved her so much as she was very patient and understanding.
But the student’s parent immediately pulled him away, as if Grace had a contagious disease. The parent looked at her, nervous and alert, ready to prevent Grace from touching her kid.
Her child could not have any interaction with such an unethical person who’s a third party!
Grace dropped her smile and heard the parent say, “What are you ask so much questions for? Doesn’t matter if she doesn’t teach you anymore, it’s the same if someone else teaches you!”
“It’s not!” the child argued. “Ms. Steels is so nice and patient. I can learn a lot of things from her. The other teachers speak too fast and I don’t get some things, but I could understand everything she taught.”

Grace smiled bitterly. “My bad, I was too anxious. Come on in. Have you eaten?”“Haven’t.” Seeing that Grace was alright, Anna asked, “If you’re fine, Mom, then is it Dad?”“I’m fine too. Fine.” Martin quickly came out, showing an apologetic face.Naturally, Anna noticed.“I’ll make lunch since we both have not eaten. We’ll discuss the matter over lunch,” Grace said.“You make lunch and I’ll tell Anna so she can stop worrying,” Martin suggested after role he was the one who brought the devil, Emma. And Grace nodded in agreementAnna changed her shoes, went to the living room, and sat before Martin told her about Emma Yang.Though he found it hard to speak at first, the words flowed out smoother the more he spoke.“I understand.” Anna nodded. Sensing Martin’s awkwardness, Anna smiled. “It&rsqu
Emma was so livid she could smash her phone. “You called me just to spite me? Alright, spite me all you want. The more you antagonize me, the more I’ll ruin Grace’s reputation!”“What do you actually want? You know that it’s a shabby lie that can be seen through at once. You can’t keep harping on it,” Martin questioned.“Oh yes, I know. But even if it’s a lie that people will see through eventually, Grace would still be ruined during the process, won’t she? Just like today. Didn’t she resign from the school because of this? Because of the pressure given by the school and the parents? Even if she were to change schools, I can still destroy her!”“Maybe your friends know that my words are false, but the people in that school may not recognize you. Before they learn the truth, I can make her unable to stay on there. Every time she changes school, I’ll go there and talk about i
“Are you still letting your dad go to the dinner tonight?” Grace’s light tone showed that she was able to crack a joke now.Anna smiled. “Both of you know I have a plan, so are you still uneasy?”Both of them were stunned. They never felt that way at all.“Dad, bring that divorce cert with you tonight. Since Emma wants you to go, she means to introduce you to everyone and let them think you’re her husband. Tonight’s dinner is a rather important affair and many of LA’s important persons will turn up. she will seize the chance, or rather, she was waiting for this chance.”“How do you know?” Grace asked.Anna explained patiently, “When I asked Jason to check her schedule for these next few days, I learned that the dinner tonight is important to her. In order to expand her business in LA, she has to have good connections with the upper classes. But she doesn’t have that
“Hand this matter to me, I’ll go personally!” Kiel looked at his surroundings before leaving his office and finding a secluded spot.“I was just giving you a head start,” Anna said.“I’ll go for my own peace of mind. Moreover, you said that it’s big news, and that means it’s really big news. I stand to gain too if I went myself. If I sent someone else, I can’t tell them anything clearly. What if they don’t treat the matter as seriously?”Anna thought about it and agreed. She then thanked Kiel for his help.“I’ve said it so many times, no need to be so courteous with me.”It was not the first time Grace had experience how Anna handled matters, but it was Martin’s first time seeing how her handled a public relations crisis.He never thought that she would have handled things so swiftly and cleanly, contacting all the relevant people in such a short
Could it be that there were two Mrs. Chang? He glanced questioningly at Emma.Mrs. Clegg smiled and said, “You didn’t attend the Dinner since you weren’t at LA previously, so you wouldn’t know. Mr. Chang had come back to celebrate the new year Festival, so we invited him to the Dinner. Mr. Chang actually wanted to go back to China so he had no time to attend. But after reuniting with his current wife, he decided not to go back, so he brought his wife to attend the dinner with him.”If one asked Mrs. Clegg, she was more inclined to believe Grace.That was because Grace was personally brought over by Martin, who admitted publicly that she’s his wife.Martin had also mentioned that he had divorced his previous wife more than ten years ago. As a public figure with a huge influence, his words won’t be false if he dared to say it publicly.Or else it would mean he was treating his reputation and career as a joke.
Emma looked around her, chocked with anger.Those who were smiling and laughing with her, people who were so courteous to her before, were now pointing fingers and criticizing her!They were rubbing salt in the wound!Emma glared at Martin. Was he not afraid that she would make trouble for Grace?“No need to shoot dagger at me,” Martin said. “I won’t be threatened by you! Emma Yang, you were the one who tricked me into marriage back then. I have had nothing to do with you after our divorce. Stay away from my wife!”Martin scoffed. “I’ve seen shameless people, but never one as shameless as you. You are real delusional.”After speaking, Martin went over to governor to apologize. “Sorry for messing up this dinner tonight.”“It’s okay.” Clegg clapped Martin’s shoulder. “It’s good that you’ve clarified things. It was quite a rude shock whe
“That’s true. Our daughter is professional. Emma is not even her competitor in this area,” Grace said proudly, especially pleased.Martin was amused by this side of her. he liked it.“Like this, at least no one will believe her if she says anything bad about you both in the future,” Anna said.Martin then looked at the netizens’ comments again. He was so pleased he had dreamt of day he will make Emma pay for all she did and this outcome was better.Meanwhile, at the dinner, Emma finally escaped the reporters and had no face to stay on. All the guests at the dinner looked at her with undisguised disgust.Imelda never expected things to go this way. She was stunned when she saw Martin throw the divorce certificates.Even if she was reluctant to admit it, she knew in her heart Martin’s wife was Grace, Anna’s mother!That meant Anna’s really Martin’s stepdaughter!Imelda c
Emma greatly embarrassed herself at the dinner banquet. Afterward, she was even mocked and attacked by netizens. It made her so angry for a few days that she did not go online or step outside at all.Denise did not expect that Emma would lose her first battle right when she came back!From her point of view, Emma’s plan was great. Even she had to admit that Emma was way too scheming.Who would have guessed that she would be defeated in an instant? To a point that she had no way of fighting back at all.She had been waiting for Emma to strike back these few days and felt that it was impossible for her to lose so easily. She must have had some other tricks up her sleeve.In the end, nothing came.Denise finally confirmed that Emma had indeed lost!Denise did not think much of it when martin exposed Emma directly at the dinner banquet.It was possible since Martin was so agitated. However, right after that, she saw that the
