“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 a common 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, clad 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 was late, 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 planned 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-in-law, so how could Renee

not know him?
