"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
It was late at night, and all was silent. Aiden made sure Renee was asleep before quietly peeking from under the covers. He hid in the bathroom with a walkie-talking in hand. His brows furrowed seriously as he whispered, "Emergency, emergency. Come in Q, come in Q."Not long after, a response came from the other end of the walkie-talkie."Roger. Q here. Please go ahead, Adie. I repeat, please go ahead.""Come and meet me at Apartment XX right now. Immediately!""Copy that!" After the exchange, Aiden put away the walkie-talkie and quietly left the house.Mr. Q wore a mask and a black trench coat at the apartment's gazebo. The tall figure had already arrived as promised.At the same time, Aiden carried his small briefcase and walked briskly to the rendezvous point under the moonlight."You're right on the dot, Q. I knew I didn't pick the wrong man! You get ten points for that," Aiden generously praised the man who stood as tall as a mountain."Did you bring the stuff I wanted
With one deal after the next, Mr. Q gradually overcame the other men to become Aiden's favorite and most suitable 'daddy' candidate.As for whether Mr. Q would be the most suitable 'husband' for his mother, Aiden had to further examine him to be sure."Q, let me tell you something..."After playing with the game console enthusiastically, Aiden suddenly turned serious and said, "I went to the kindergarten with Mommy today, and we were bullied. They said I couldn't attend that kindergarten because I didn't have a daddy. I really liked that kindergarten, and It makes me so sad that I'm not allowed to attend. Is it true that children without a daddy like me are always doomed to be inferior?"Mr. Q's brows suddenly furrowed deeply, and he asked in a low voice, "How can you not have a daddy? Didn't you say that your daddy was Liam, the sixth son of the Osbornes?""Ah... Since we're already so close, I will tell you the truth. Indeed, Daddy Liam is my daddy, but he's not my real daddy. M
"Hmm..." Mr. Q hummed with a regretful expression on his face. "It's a pity my face is disfigured. I have a long scar, that's why I don't take off my mask. I'm afraid I won't meet your mother's requirements."Aiden stared at the man for a long time, a frown on his little face. He seemed conflicted for a long time before he waved his small hand and said boldly, "That's okay. Even though Mommy likes pretty faces, I'm sure she'll consider my opinion. I can help put a good word in if you're good enough in other aspects. Besides... I think your features look perfect. Even with the mask on, you still look great. I'm sure you can charm my mommy into a daze."Mr. Q's lips curled up, and he said with a touch of teasing, "Is your mother so superficial that she only cares about what's on the outside?""Of course not!" Aiden protested while shaking his head. Then, he sighed and lamented, "If she did, why would she have married that jerk, Stefan, in the first place? She ended up getting so badly
