Chapter 12
The parents erupted in cheers.[]
“Finally, a teacher who tells it like it is!”
“This is Oak Lane. We have standards.”
“Why waste education on her kid? Just teach her to hunt rich men like mommy!“]
Cathy was loving every second.[]
“This is what you get. Once trash, always trash. You and your brat belong in the gutter!“[]
Their insults rained down. The crowd grew, everyone eager to join the attack.
Each cruel word made Cathy’s smile wider.]
Mrs. Thompson saw her chance. “Ms. Cathy, the principal has a small favor to ask. We’re expanding the school, and Kemnis Corp owns all the surrounding land…“[]
Mrs
Cathy waved her hand dismissively. “Consider it done. Ian will sign it over. You’ve earned it today.”
Mrs. Thompson beamed. “You’re too kind, Ms.Cathy.“[]
The parents pounced like sharks smelling blood.]
“My firm has worked with Kemnis Corp before. Keep us in mind?“[]
“Our company’s expanding too. We’d love to partner up.”
“Here’s my VIP shopping card. Let’s stay in touch.“[]
They shoved business cards and credit cards into her bag, desperate for her attention.
Cathy soaked it up like a queen holding court.]
She towered over me, voice dripping venom. “See this? This is real power.“]
“Without Ian’s love, You can only spend your life on your knees, begging for scraps. But me? I live in a world you can’t even imagine.”
“Take your bastard and get out of my city. Next time, I won’t be so nice. I’ll bury her alive.”
Iris pressed against me, shaking. “Mommy…” Her voice cracked. “My ankle really hurts.“[]
Something in her tone made my blood run cold. When I carefully pulled down her sock, time seemed to stop.
A deep, infected gash ran across her ankle. Someone had tied a wire around it, cutting deeper with every step she took.
Dark blood had soaked through her sock, staining her shoe. The skin around the wound was swollen and hot.
I stared at my little girl the same child who needed three bedtime stories to sleep, who’d cry if her toast was cut wrong. She’d suffered through this all day without a word
The world blurred as tears filled my eyes. Not sad tears. Tears of pure rage.[]
“Cathy.” My voice didn’t sound like my own. “Your son did this?”
She examined her manicure, bored. “Be thankful that’s all he did.“]
The sound of my palm hitting her face echoed like a gunshot]
All my fury, every ounce of a mother’s protective rage, went into that slap. Cathy spun, catching herself against the wall.]
I pulled back for another hit, but someone grabbed my hair, yanking hard]

Chapter 12
Parents swarmed me, fists and feet flying.[]
“How dare you touch Ms. Cathy!“[]
“Want to join your brat in the grave?“][]
“Trash raising trash. You both deserve worse!“]
Even Mrs. Thompson joined in, kicking me.[]
“Leave my mommy alone!” my daughter screamed.]
Tyler knocked her down with a kick.
Mrs. Thompson patted his head. “Good boy, Tyler. You’ll get a special award tomorrow!“[]
He smirked. “Next time I’ll hurt her even wo
worse.
e.“D
From the ground, through bloody lips, I spat: “You’ll regret this.”
They howled with laughter.[]
“A whore making threats?”
“Ms.Cathy could crush you like a bug!“]]
“Pathetic! Just kill yourself already!“[]
They pinned me down, spitting and laughing.]
Cathy dug her stiletto into my cheek.
“Regret? Please. I’d love to see you try.“[]
Right then, a fleet of black SUVS roared up to the school gates.[]
A handsome man in a suit got out of the car. He is the male lead they have been looking forward to for a long time and also my husband, Ian.[]
