Chapter 6
The sharp sound of the slap echoed through the ballroom. Nina held her face, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Half of her face instantly turned red, and her carefully styled curls became disheveled.
“Y–You dare to hit me?” Her voice trembled.
She immediately grabbed Antonio’s sleeve, shaking it. “Dad, she hit me, did you see? This tramp actually dared to hit me!”
Antonio saw it clearly, but what could he do?
“Fine, you’re playing favorites, aren’t you? If you won’t help me, I’ll go to Mom!”
She ran to Linda’s side, holding up her dress. “Mom, that tramp hit me in front of everyone. You have to teach her a lesson, or how will I face everyone at school?
“People will laugh at me for being hit by a mistress!”
Nina cried and fussed, tears welling up in her eyes, desperately wanting Linda to help her.
But she was wrong. Antonio wasn’t reluctant to hit me, but he didn’t dare to hit me.
As a son–in–law who married into the family, he dared to murder me but not to hit me in front of everyone.

Linda’s body trembled, the champagne glass she was tightly gripping fell to the ground, and her forehead was covered in a fine sweat.
“Enough, enough…” Linda finally spoke, her voice barely audible. “I’m not feeling well. Why don’t we end your party here?”
Nina exploded when she heard this, standing up angrily. “What? Why? My party has just started!
“No, I won’t end it. This is my 18th birthday party, Mom. What are you saying? Why should I cancel because of this tramp!”
Nina’s little followers also spoke up for her.
“Mrs. Kaufman, it’s rare for Nina to have a party with us, and it’s her 18th birthday party. How can we end it for someone like her? Nina is being treated so unfairly.”
“Yes, Mrs. Kaufman is being too considerate of the big picture. We can’t let Emily’s tramp of a mother get cocky, thinking she’s the favorite now!”
“That’s right, we can’t let the mistress’s bastard ride roughshod over the legitimate child!”
“In three years, I’ve never seen anyone dare to hit Nina.”
Nina felt more and more wronged, looking at me with
resentment.
These students were getting carried away with their words. They didn’t know that the real illegitimate child riding roughshod over the legitimate one was Nina, whom they were supporting.
I wondered what expressions they would have when they found

out the truth.
At this moment, some more clear–headed students raised doubts.
“Does anyone else feel like something’s off about their atmosphere?”
“What’s off about it?”
“Mr. Kaufman seems to be afraid of this mistress, and Mrs. Kaufman doesn’t even dare to look at her. It’s strange, like their positions are reversed.”
“That’s impossible. Just look at how scared Emily is of Nina. It’s obvious who the illegitimate child is.”
Hearing this, Antonio became more anxious. He pleaded with me, “Darling, can you come out for a moment? The kids are just playing around. We can talk outside, okay?”
In the past, seeing his teary eyes would have immediately made me feel sorry for him.
I would have agreed to anything he said.
But now, I’m someone who has crawled out of hell.
I’ve crawled out to seek revenge, and the more afraid he is, the more interesting I find it..
“Dad, stop her medication, or I’ll never forgive you guys!”
Nina issued a final warning. These words didn’t scare Antonio, but they terrified Emily.

She stood on the stage, crying and begging, “Please, don’t stop my mom’s medication. I’ll apologize for her. If you’re angry, take it out on me!”
