Chapter 8
Upon hearing the principal’s words, the entire room fell silent, and the previous mocking laughter immediately ceased.
Karina, her hair disheveled, couldn’t believe her ears. “Mr.
Dunlap, wh–what did you say? You’re saying Emily’s mother is the real Mrs. Kaufman?”
She turned to look at Linda. “This…this can’t be possible! How could Nina not recognize her own mother?”
Even with things said this far, Linda still didn’t dare to refute.
Ninawas displeased. “You old fool, what nonsense are you spouting? Are you saying my mom is the mistress? You’ve really gone crazy!”
She showed no fear as she turned to Antonio, “Dad, tell them, is my mom the mistress? This is ridiculous, what a joke.”
Antonio’s suit pants were almost wrinkled from his grip. “Shut up!”
I deliberately pressed further, “Honey, why don’t you tell us when Linda went from being our housekeeper to replacing me as your wife?”
Another wave of shock swept through the ballroom, with Emily being the most surprised.
She looked at me in disbelief.

The other students began to discuss.
“She doesn’t seem to be lying. Look how scared Mr. Kaufman is of her.”
“And she’s been here for so long, have you heard Nina’s mom say a single word?”
“Then, if what she’s saying is true that would mean… Nina is the illegitimate child!”
All eyes turned to Nina.
She angrily shouted, “What are you looking at? How could I possibly be illegitimate? Just look at what I’m wearing!”
I laughed coldly, “I’d like to ask you, how did you manage to manipulate my daughter like this while I was busy with work?
“And the birthday gift I prepared for my daughter, how did it end up on you?”
I immediately showed everyone the purchase records.
The scene erupted in chaos.
“She really did buy it. So Emily is the real Kaufman heiress! Otherwise, how could her mom afford such expensive bags and dresses?”
“Looking at her poise, you can tell she’s not ordinary.”
Nina screamed in desperation, “You tramp, you must have used my dad’s money to buy it!”
I found her laughable. “Your dad? Your dad is just a live–in son-

in–law. Which penny he spends isn’t mine?”
My words struck Antonio like bolts of lightning.
Nina, in disbelief, turned to Antonio for confirmation. “I don’t believe it. Dad, say something! She’s slandering you!”
Antonio gritted his teeth and slapped Nina. “Shut up! If it weren’t for you, would all this have happened?”
Still unwilling to give up, he tried to pull me away.
I shook off his hand, walked straight to the stage, and took the microphone.
“Today, I want to clarify something important to my daughter.
“Lumina Holdingsbelongs to the Parrish family. It’s the business my father left me. Her father, Antonio, is the son–in–law I brought, into the family. Linda was just a housekeeper I kept out of pity.
“As for Nina, I thought she was a poor student I was kindly sponsoring. I never imagined she was actually the illegitimate child of my husband and the housekeeper!”
My words resonated through the room, shocking everyone into silence.
Emily looked at me in disbelief. I knew she couldn’t adapt to this sudden change and didn’t dare to believe it.
I directly connected my phone to the big screen and opened my photo album.
“This is my marriage certificate with Antonio, the equity
certificate of Lumina Holdings, and the financial records of my
sponsorship for Nine over these ears.
“Emily, look carefully. You’re not legitimate. You are the sole heir to Lumina Holdings!”
I displayed all the prepared documents in front of everyone.
Rather than explaining one by one, it’s better to let everyone see the truth directly!
Emily was stunned. Recalling Nina’s bullying over the years, she couldn’t help but cry. She picked up a piece of cake and walked straight towards Nina.
She angrily smashed the cake on Nina’s head.
“Ah! You bitch, what are you doing!”
Nina screamed hysterically. She raised her hand to hit Emily but seeing Emily’s terrifying gaze, her hand hung in the air, not daring to come down.
Emily slapped her again, “You’re the one born from a mistress. This slap is for all the slander against my mom over the years.”
I was touched. She didn’t even seek justice for herself.
I also rushed down from the stage and gave Nina a slap, “This slap is for all the bullying you’ve done to Emily over the years!”
Nina bit her lip, desperately shaking Linda’s arm, “Mom, Mom, say something! What they’re saying isn’t true, right?
“I’m not born from a mistress, I’m not!”
I directly played the incriminating surveillance video from my
phone. “Listen to what your mom has to say herself!”
Most of the audience were students, so I didn’t play the entire video
But the scene was already in an uproar.
“Look, she admitted it herself. She is the mistress!”
“Oh my, the mistress actually pretended to be the real wife! Nina, a mistress’s daughter, how dare she be so arrogant!”
“I always thought Emily seemed more like a rich lady, excelling in arts and academics. Nina said it was taught by the mistress, how ridiculous. Turns out she’s the illegitimate one!*
I opened the list prepared by my lawyer and handed it to Linda.
“The clothes you damaged are worth5 million, and the bag worth $1 million. How do you plan to compensate?”
Linda gritted her teeth and knelt in front of me, “Madam, I was wrong. I’ll never dare to do it again. Please forgive me for the sake of my years of service to you!”
I sneered. “For the sake of your years of servicing my husband, you mean?
“Let me tell you, this is bigamy!”
Hearing my words, Antonio also hurriedly ran over and knelt in front of me, tugging at my pants leg and begging.
“Honey, I was wrong. It was all, it was all this tramp seducing me! How could she compare to you? You’re the only one I truly love. Otherwise, why would I have never divorced you?”
Chapter
I laughed at him. “Divorce? What would you, a live–in son–in–law, have without me? You think I don’t know when you and Lindal first met?”
At this moment, several police officers rushed in..
“Who called the police?”
I pointed at the two of them. “I did. These two have committed bigamy, damaged my property, bullied and beat my daughter, and damaged her reputation. I demand they be taken to the police station for processing.”
“No, I don’t want to go to jail!”
Antonio angrily slapped Linda. “You tramp! This is what you get for seducing me!”
He then slapped Nina, “And you! You’re even worse! If it weren’t for you causing trouble, would Grace be upset?”
This man was terrifyingly selfish. After all this confession, not a single word of apology was directed at Emily.
Nina, berated to the point of frenzy, burst into tears. “That’s right, why didn’t you just kill me earlier? If I had known one of you was a live–in son–in–law and the other a housekeeper, I would rather not be born!”
Linda hurriedly tried to pull her. “Nina, don’t throw a tantrum. Quickly apologize to the madam. As long as she forgives us, you can still continue school!”
She shook off Linda’s hand, “Don’t touch me! I’ve lost all dignity; how can I stay in this school?”

With that, Nina lifted her dress and suddenly rushed outside, vaulting over the railing and jumping down.
There was a loud thud, without even a scream.
Linda, realizing what had happened, ran out crying.
Soon, her cries echoed throughout the building, “Nina! You foolish child, how could you be so impulsive?”
Without looking, it was clear that Nina had died from the fall.
She died too easily. I hadn’t even begun to make her pay for how she tormented Emily in the previous life.
Shortly after, Linda also jumped.
Only the coward Antonio was left, collapsed on the ground, shaking uncontrollably.
I leaned close to his ear, “What’s wrong? Scared already? Did you think I didn’t know you wanted to kill me? I’ve crawled back from hell to claim your life!”
Antonio suddenly let out a scream, then began to laugh loudly, as if he had gone mad.
“I was wrong, I won’t dare again. Where am I? Why am I here? Ah! My head hurts so much!”
He frantically started bumping into things everywhere. Fearing The might hurt someone, the police quickly subdued him and took him away.
After a medical diagnosis, it was determined that Antonio had suffered a mental breakdown and showed suicidal tendencies

every day.
I was delighted to hear this. Only by suffering endless torment could he begin to repay the hatred in my heart.
With two deaths in one day, Emily’s high school became infamous in the city, making student recruitment difficult. The principal came to beg me several times, but I refused to provide funding.
Later, I directly announced the withdrawal of all financial support for the school.
Karina, having offended me, couldn’t find a job at any school and had to return to her village as a rural teacher.
With my support and the help of a counselor, Emily gradually stepped out of the shadows.
This time, instead of being busy with work myself, I brought Emily to the company to meet the employees.
After all, she was the future heiress.
