Chapter 1

At the parent-teacher conference, Leo Stone’s essay, "My CEO Mom," won first place. The entire class applauded.

After the meeting, my daughter, Lily, ran crying towards me, five angry red marks blooming on her face. "Daddy, Leo Stone hit me again! He said I don't belong in the same class as him, and he even spat on me!"

I picked up Lily and went to confront Ms. Davies, our class teacher.

Ms. Davies just scoffed, "Mr. Foster, kids play rough sometimes, it's completely normal. You're making such a big deal out of it."

"Besides, Leo Stone is the son of Victoria Hayes, the CEO of Hayes Corporation. Who do you think you are?"

"Leo himself said it. You'd better know your place and just transfer her out. Don't you dare disrupt Leo's schooling."

I froze for a second.

Then I called my private lawyer: "Prepare the divorce papers. I want Victoria Hayes to lose everything in the divorce."

She dared to use my money to support a lover and his illegitimate child. She had truly crossed the line.
