“Fine!”


    Stefan’s renowned haughtiness finally gave way to Renee’s gentle persuasions. He turned the steering


    wheel with one hand while he tousled her hair with the other. “For the sake of my angelic wife, I won’t


    stoop to their level today.”


    And so, they agreed to part ways—Stefan drove away and headed towards the open-air parking lot


    less than half a mile away, while Renee got out of the car and queued up in front of the kindergarten


    gate and waited her turn to pick up her kids. Once the kids were with her, Stefan drove back to the


    kindergarten, and they would meet up again.


    In fact, many other parents had opted to do the same thing, because there were just too few parking


    spots in front of the kindergarten, so it did not matter whether you were a powerful official or amon


    citizen, once they became parents, they had to abide the rules to set a good example for their children.


    Meanwhile, the Panamera boastfully screeched to a halt in the parking spot that Stefan had just given


    up. The door opened, and out came a young woman with long curly hair and heavy makeup, d in a


    Chanel haute couture dress and an expensive, limited edition designer handbag slung over her


    forearm. Her ten-inch stilettos clicked onto the ground as she snobbily stepped out of the car.

    The line in front of the kindergarten was already very long as the teachers handed the children one by


    one to their parents. Because she waste, Renee ended up at the very end of the line. She stood on


    her tiptoes and stretched her neck to look inside, only to see from afar that Adie, Abby, and another boy


    had been singled out by the teacher Miss Apple, who seemed to be giving them a lecture in a corner.


    ‘Oh boy,’ she thought, instantly worried, ‘what did the two rascals do this time?’


    But no matter how anxious she was, she still patiently waited in line for her turn.


    The snobby woman with curly hair, on the other hand, walked right past Renee and cut the line, taking


    the spot at the very front.


    “What’s going on? Who’s that woman? How could she just jump in line like that?


    The other parents started to murmur and grumble in displeasure, albeit in lowered voices. The rest


    were just as annoyed but dared not say a word about it.


    “Just ignore it. That woman has powerful connections. We can’t afford to offend her…”


    “Besides, it’s not the first she jumped the line anyway, so let’s just endure it!”


    “…”


    Like Renee, most parents would rather turn a blind eye to certain things, hoping they wouldn’t ruffle any


    feathers for the sake of their children’s safety. Renee had initially nned to just stay quiet about it, but


    when she remembered how pompously snobbish the woman was when she snatched their parking


    spot earlier and how she had the gall to jump in line in front of everyone, she just lost all her patience!


    “Hey, curlyhead!”


    “Curlyhead?” the snobbish woman turned around and looked around disdainfully.


    “Stop looking around, I was talking to you…”


    Renee’s exquisite face turned cold and intimidating as she asked the woman, “Have you ever been to


    kindergarten?”


    “What do you mean?”


    “If you’ve been to kindergarten before, you would’ve surely learned how to abide by the rules and stand


    in line to wait for your turn. That way you’d be a good example to the children. But of course, if you turn


    around now and stand at the back of the queue, you may disregard everything I just said.”


    “You… You…!”


    The woman was so infuriated that she turned pale. She pointed at Renee and shrieked, “Don’t you


    know who I am? How dare you! You must have a death wish if you dare speak to me like that!”


    The other parents gasped in awe at Renee’s courage for daring to provoke this woman.


    But Renee merely sneered, “I’m sorry, but I have no idea who you are. Why don’t you get yourself a


    megaphone and introduce yourself to everyone here? That way your child would learn what kind of a


    mother they have!”


    “Listen to me carefully—I have connections with the Murphy family. Don’t you know Ethan Murphy? If


    you dare to go against me, it means going against the Murphy family!”


    “Ethan Murphy, huh?


    Renee was suddenly fascinated.


    “Yes, of course, I know him. He’s the current patriarch of the Murphy family and a famously powerful


    man indeed.”


    Ethan Murphy was Seraphina Murphy’s father, and he almost became Stefan’s father-inw, so how


    could Renee not know him?
