Chapter 5
“Mr. Mitchell really is the perfect husband! Dropping everything for his wife and daughter! Those Parker bitches are SO dead now!”
The brown–nosers were shooting pure venom at me and Lily, like they wanted to rip us apart.[]
Charlotte’s face twisted into this sick, triumphant grin.
“You pathetic loser! My husband’s here and you’re FINISHED!“[]
I kept my voice perfectly calm. “Is that so?”
Ryan stepped out looking expensive and rushed straight to Charlotte and Madison, completely ignoring me and Lily.]
The second he saw Madison’s bloody knee, his face went black with rage.[]
“Who did this?! Don’t they know Madison is MY daughter?!“]
Charlotte was practically vibrating with excitement. “Baby, it was that PSYCHO! Make them PAY!“]]
Ryan followed her finger, ready to explode, but froze the instant he saw me. All the color drained from his face.]
I walked over slowly with Lily, locking eyes with him the whole time.]
Charlotte was getting frantic. “Ryan! DO something!“]]
The ass–kissers piled on: “Mr. Mitchell! These trash people attacked your daughter!“]
Ryan walked toward me, whispering desperately when he got close: “Maya, what are you doing here? We can talk at home, but right now you and Lily need to apologize so this ends. I don’t want to embarrass you.“[]
I made sure everyone could hear me loud and clear:[]
“Apologize? To HER? Not happening! But YOU better start explaining why Madison’s calling you DADDY and Charlotte’s calling you HUSBAND!“[]
The crowd immediately started buzzing with confusion.[]
“What’s this woman even talking about? Why’s she going off on Mr. Mitchell like that?“]
“She’s talking to him like she’s his wife catching him cheating!“]
“No way. Everyone can see Mr. Mitchell came here for Charlotte and Madison.“[]
Ryan’s face went dark red. His temple was literally pulsing as he hissed under his breath: “Maya, don’t push it! I just adopted Madison as my goddaughter. Why are you being so disgusting about this? You’re a grown woman picking on a kid!“[]
“Besides, I’m your husband! We’re a team! Embarrassing me doesn’t help you, so shut up and go apologize!“]
My smile turned ice cold. Without a word, I slapped him across the face HARD.
“Ryan, did you forget who you’re talking to?!“]
Ryan stood there stunned. The sharp crack of the slap made everyone freeze.]
“This crazy bitch just hit Oceanview Corporation’s CEO! Does she have a death wish?!“]
Charlotte was absolutely LIVID. “You piece of trash! How DARE you hit my man!“]
She started yelling at the security guards: “Grab her! Hold her down! I’m gonna knock every tooth out of her head“]]
The security guards rushed toward me and Lily while Ryan just stared at me in dead silence!]
Right as the guards were about to grab us, Lilyhurst out:]
“Daddy, Madison and her mom were bullying me and Mo Why are you taking their side? Why are you letting security hurt us?”
“Daddy, don’t you know Madison tried to steal my first place with money? You KNOW how important this competition was to

Everyone went dead silent. Did she just say
“Daddy“?
