Chapter 61\u00a0<\/p>\n
This is bad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine\u2019s eyes widened. What if it hits us?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing the bumper car was about to hit Kevin, Madeleine\u00a0<\/p>\n
quickly scooped the little guy back up into her arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she couldn\u2019t dodge in time, and the bumper car slammed\u00a0<\/p>\n
hard into her shin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAh!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine stumbled back a couple of steps and was only kept\u00a0<\/p>\n
from falling because someone caught her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kevin\u2019s face went pale with fright. He clung tightly to\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine\u2019s neck, his eyes instantly turning red.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The woman gave a triumphant sneer, pulled her son out of the\u00a0<\/p>\n
car, walked over to Madeleine, and scoffed, \u201cServes you right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s what you get for bullying my son.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 61\u00a0<\/p>\n
The amusement park staff quickly came over to handle the\u00a0<\/p>\n
situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, hitting someone with a bumper car after the ride was\u00a0<\/p>\n
over was a pretty serious matter. It would be bad if the injured guest decided to press charges.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMa\u2019am, are you alright? Do you need us to take you to the\u00a0<\/p>\n
hospital?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine shook her head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In her arms, Kevin now noticed the chubby little boy. A flash of\u00a0<\/p>\n
panic crossed his eyes as he whispered, \u201cAustin Eleanor\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hayes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine heard her son and turned to follow his gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kev and that chubby kid know each other?\u00a0<\/p>\n
The park employee also noticed something was up. It looked\u00a0<\/p>\n
like there was bad blood between the two families, and their\u00a0<\/p>\n
policy was to separate guests to prevent arguments.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing the mother and son about to leave, Madeleine wasn\u2019t\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 61\u00a0<\/p>\n
having it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You think you can just hit someone and walk away?\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not how it works!\u00a0<\/p>\n
She put her son down, took a few long strides forward, and\u00a0<\/p>\n
grabbed the mother and son.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop right there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine\u2019s face was dark, her eyes cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dannie Eleanor was amused by the situation. This little siren\u00a0<\/p>\n
had some nerve. She didn\u2019t cower, but actually dared to\u00a0<\/p>\n
challenge her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She really thinks she can do whatever she wants just because\u00a0<\/p>\n
she\u2019s latched onto the boss, huh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine, I\u2019ll stand right here. Let\u2019s see what you can do to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dannie snorted. She was sure the woman in front of her\u00a0<\/p>\n
wouldn\u2019t dare make a big scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After all, what kind of trouble could a secret mistress possibly\u00a0<\/p>\n
stir up?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 61\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cApologize to my son.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour son!\u00a0<\/p>\n
?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dannie froze for a second, then burst out laughing as if she\u2019d\u00a0<\/p>\n
just heard the funniest joke.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The onlookers who had gathered were now looking on\u00a0<\/p>\n
curiously, not understanding what was so funny.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dannie bent down to pick up her son, but the big, chubby boy\u00a0<\/p>\n
was just too heavy. She struggled for a moment before giving\u00a0<\/p>\n
She bent down and asked, \u201cYou just said you\u2019re his classmate,\u00a0<\/p>\n
right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you ever seen his mom?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The chubby kid raised his eyebrows and said irritably in a louder\u00a0<\/p>\n
voice, \u201cHe doesn\u2019t even have a mom. All the kids in our class\u00a0<\/p>\n
know. He\u2019s just a wild child, popped out of a rock.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 61\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re lying!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kevin, who had been lost in the pain of his mother being hurt, immediately flushed red when he heard this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He rushed over to bravely argue back, tears welling up in his\u00a0<\/p>\n
eyes, his body trembling slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not lying. None of the kids in our class have ever seen your\u00a0<\/p>\n
mom. She never came to sports day or parent\u2013teacher conferences. You don\u2019t have a mom, nyah nyah nyah.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dannie smugly patted her son\u2019s chubby face, sneered at\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine, and then shifted her gaze to the gossiping crowd\u00a0<\/p>\n
that had gathered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid everyone get a good look? I don\u2019t need to spell out what\u00a0<\/p>\n
kind of woman this is, do I? A woman with no manners, no\u00a0<\/p>\n
values, and no shame, and she still dares to strut around a\u00a0<\/p>\n
place like this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She glared irritably at the amusement park staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d say you\u2019re not doing your job. How could you let someone\u00a0<\/p>\n
like her in!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine\u2019s expression instantly turned cold. She knelt down\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 61\u00a0<\/p>\n
and pulled her trembling son into her arms, gently wiping the\u00a0<\/p>\n
tears from the corners of his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKev, don\u2019t be afraid. Mommy\u2019s here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She soothed him gently, then stood up, her gaze as sharp as a\u00a0<\/p>\n
knife fixed on Dannie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMa\u2019am, what you just said is slander.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine\u2019s voice wasn\u2019t loud, but it held an undeniable\u00a0<\/p>\n
authority. \u201cI\u2019ll give you three seconds to apologize to my son.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dannie was stunned by her presence for a moment, but then\u00a0<\/p>\n
puffed out her chest:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Afraid to admit what you\u2019ve done?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone, look. This is what happens when you\u2019re the\u00a0<\/p>\n
mistress\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThree.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine began to count down coldly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStop putting on an act!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 61\u00a0<\/p>\n
My husband is\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The surrounding crowd started whispering, and someone had\u00a0<\/p>\n
already taken out their phone to record.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOne.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
