Renee turned around and found that the person speaking was one of her ex in-laws, Stefan's cousin, Charlotte. Back then, Charlotte was the one and only beloved princess of many, and she would always view Renee as a thorn in her flesh. Hence, she naturally never treated her with respect. However, ever since Renee got a divorce, she no longer tolerated this so-called princess' behavior and taught her a few lessons as a result. Thus, Charlotte started restraining herself as well.It had been four years since the two saw each other, so bumping into each other now felt quite unfortunate."It really is you! And here I thought I was hallucinating!" Charlotte exclaimed. She was wearing extremely expensive attire, consisting of Chanel clothing, with a pink Hermes purse that likely cost thousands, and a pair of beige colored heels, which were limited-edition Givenchy. It was as if she was deliberately trying to flaunt her wealth to the world.Renee looked the woman up and down. She foun
"You'll have to check your abilities before you try to attack me. If you dare to act rudely again, you'll be sorry!" Renee warned as she loomed over the woman, her expression as frosty as ice. Charlotte instantly deflated, lying on the ground a mess silently. She thought to herself, 'How is this woman even cockier than before?! It's been four years, so hasn't she learned to tone down a little?! It's like I can't afford to offend her at all!'Could it be that her lover gave her the ability to act so recklessly?'"You wicked lady! How dare you bully my mommy? I'll bite you!" Charlotte's son, Casey, immediately lunged over crazily, opening his mouth wide open as he grabbed onto Renee's arm."Let go of my mommy, you mad dog!" Aiden was not an easy target either, as he angrily pushed Casey to the ground, then sat on top of him."How dare you bite my beloved mommy?! I'd say you don't treasure your teeth, so let me pluck them all out for you!""Wahhhh, Mommy! Mommy, save me!" Casey wa
Although Aiden was asking a question, he was clearly forcing the principal to pick a side. He just couldn't let his mother get bitten and endure such humilition for no apparent reason. He had to get justice for his mother.The principal cleared her throat, and put on a solemn expression, revealing her stance in front of everyone."Adie, I understand the situation now. You were right to protect your mother, and you were very brave. But you were too reckless and violent when trying to do so. I think you weren't being rational, and that you were technically just as wrong as Casey here. What do you think?""You're right, Miss Principal. I was wrong." Aiden nodded as he blinked innocently, then turned to Casey with an apologetic attitude. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you just now."The principal was absolutely in awe of his understanding and emotional intelligence. This had also change the minds of many surrounding parents, who were quite judgemental a while ago. They even s
"You… You…" Charlotte felt as if her pride was crushed entirely at this point. Her eyes reddened as she shouted, "Do you think I won't dare to do that?! I'll have you know that my husband loves me a lot! If he finds out that me and my son are being mistreated like this, all of you here will have to pay!"Renee huffed coldly. "If he loves you so, have him come over to stand up for you. I'd really like to see just how powerful this man is for you to act as if you won't face any consequences.""That… If you insist, then! Just wait!" Charlotte decided to go with the flow since it was quite hard to defuse this situation right then. She dialed Zachary's number, speaking in a sickeningly sweet voice. "Babe, someone's attacking me and Casey! Come over quickly. You have to stand up for us!"Back then, her husband would not prioritize her in the slightest, especially being a womanizer. He just so happened to be nearby the kindergarten due to a business meeting. Hearing that his son was
Everyone froze, especially Charlotte, who didn't know how to read the room. She grabbed Zachary's arm and mumbled, "What are you doing, babe? At least stand up for Casey and me! Why are you kneeling in front of this woman?!"She's just a lowly commoner now, and my brother kicked her out after she cheated on him! This woman is a sinful cheater! So how could you kneel for her? What happened to saving your dignity? Are you not worried you'd get bad luck for doing that?!""The fuck do you mean by bad luck?!" Zachary was so mad that he slapped Charlotte across the face. "You idiot! If it weren't for Liliana Schneider back then, our family would've been destroyed long ago…""Everything you get to enjoy now, the food we eat, the purse you're holding, the shoes Casey is wearing… we can only afford all of that because of our saviors, the Schneiders! If you dare to disrespect them one more time, I'll f*cking divorce you!"Charlotte covered her swollen cheek with one hand, and retorted, "How
Even though she had not seen it with her own eyes, Renee had heard a lot of rumors. Everyone kept saying that her grandmother was a strange woman and that she had carried the Schneider family to glory with her own strength to become the top family in North City. Back then, whether it was the Hunt family from Beach City or the Baldwin family from Sutton, all of them were subordinates of the Schneider family.But such a legendary family had been extinguished by unknown forces within a month.Since then, the Schneider family declined in North City, and eventually, the legend became an actual myth.Strangely enough, although the Schneider family fell, the Everheart family rose. Some said that the rise in the Everheart family's reputation was thanks to Liliana's manipulation behind the scenes.But decades later, the Everheart family also fell tragically, ending up with the same fate as the Schneider family!Renee had almost no recollection of her grandmother and only recalled that th
"That's..."Charlotte's words left the principal in a dilemma. When Monte Perry was established, the family committee had jointly proposed a rule to raise the school's admission threshold and ensure the student population's quality.Over the years, the kindergarten had strictly enforced this rule and did not accept children from single-parent families.Even though the school's principal appreciated Renee's decent and kind-hearted stance and liked Aiden's intelligence and cuteness, she couldn't make a special exception before so many parents."What's with your hesitation? As the kindergarten principal, you can't always break the rules, can you? Children from single-parent families are problematic and have flawed characters! Having them attend school with children from normal families will definitely affect the regular children! We can't let that happen!"Charlotte spoke with such righteous indignation, and the parents around her also fanned the flames by agreeing with her stateme
But Aiden was unusually quiet today, and it was obvious that the little boy was occupied with his thoughts.Renee could guess that the incident just now must've upset the child, and she was instantly distressed."Adie, what are you thinking? You're frowning too deeply. Can you tell Mommy about it?" Renee asked gently.She had raised her two children in a more relaxed fashion, giving them the leeway to do whatever they wanted to do. She never interfered with their natural progression and rarely lectured them.The only thing she required from them was that if there were anything that made them unhappy, they would have to tell her at the first opportunity and not conceal the thought.So, while Aiden acted like a cold child, he was still willing to share his thoughts with Renee.He looked down at the ground and pouted before looking up with wet, round eyes at Renee and said, "Mommy, is it because I'm not good or smart enough? That's why all those people didn't like me and drove me aw
