Chapter 1 My five - year old daughter burst into tears the moment she got home . She begged me not to make her go back to Oak Lane Academy . She was too scared to tell me why . Just kept shaking and crying . My gut told me something was wrong . When I checked her body , I found tiny puncture wounds all over her arms and chest . Rage burning through me, I snapped a photo and posted it to the parents ' group : " Who hurt my daughter ? " " My son did exactly what I told him to , " Ashley replied instantly , with a smug emoji . Then came two photos that stopped my heart . One showed my husband at a wedding - with her . The other was a family photo of me , my daughter , and my husband . " Karma's a bitch , isn't it ? That's what happens when you steal someone's husband and have his bastard . Consider yourself lucky my boy didn't do worse . " The group chat exploded . Parents I'd known for months turned vicious , attacking me and my daughter . Even Mrs. Thompson , her teacher , jumped in : " Tyler was such a good boy today , Ashley ! Extra star for him tomorrow ! " Ashley couldn't resist : " If you've got a problem , come face me . We're still at school . Unless you're scared ... " I strapped my daughter into the car and texted my lawyers : " Get divorce papers ready . Use the prenup . I want Jack out with nothing . " " My daughter was attacked at school . Send a team now . They'll pay for this . " " Can't believe that leech had a mistress while living off my money . " At Oak Lane , I found Ashley surrounded by her new fan club . " Ashley , you're so modest ! We had no idea your husband runs Walker Corp ! " " No wonder you always seemed different . That's real class ! " " We're all behind you . Can't let gold - diggers like her win . " " Right ? Tyler's the real heir to Walker Corp. Already showing leadership ! " Chapter 1 Mrs. Thompson was practically bowing : " Just tell me Tyler's favorite foods . I'll change the menu for him . " Ashley soaked it all in . The joke was on them . Jack had been draining money from my smallest company division for years . I'd only given him that job hoping he'd grow up . Now Ashley was using it to play queen bee . When they saw me , their friendly faces turned to stone . Like I was something they'd scraped off their shoes . Mrs. Thompson stepped forward , ice in her voice : " Ms. Roberts , Emma is expelled . Effective immediately . " " My daughter gets attacked and you expel her ? " I shot back . " This is an elite school , " she said coldly . " We can't have our reputation ruined by... certain people . " My voice went deadly quiet : " You might want to check who the real mistress is before you talk . " I didn't finish . Ashley's hand cracked across my face . " How dare you show your face here ? Did you think having his kid would make you the next Mrs. Walker ? "
