The next morning, Mrs. Davis knocked at the door with breakfast ready.
“Hannah, it’s time for school…” I called softly, but Hannah began trembling.
Her body shook as she pleaded, “Mom… please, can I not go to school? I never want to go back there…”
Seeing my daughter’s pitiful state, I gently stroked her hair. “Okay, sweetie. I’ll take you to withdraw properly.”
But the next moment we were informed that the driver wasn’t home-he had already taken Mia to school.
Anger flashed in my eyes.
‘Mia and Hannah attend the same school,” Mrs. Davis tried to explain. “And since Hannah doesn’t like going o school anyway, Mia went first, so the driver…”
Seems this driver has vision problems and can’t tell who the real employer is. He’s fired,” I said coldly, urning toward the garage.
When Hannah and I arrived at the school, people stared and whispered as we walked through the halls.
Their mocking glances flew at her like knives.
Hannah hunched her shoulders, trying to make herself as small as possible.

He knew this investigation could have serious consequences. The board would never let James off easy if they found out.
“Of course I want to continue. Get me a complete audit of all accounts.”

“Yes, ma’am…”
Before I left the country, James had promised he would take care of everything so I could focus on recovery.
Thankfully, I’d been cautious enough not to give him complete control.
I hung up and took a deep breath. If I kept digging, James would likely be blacklisted from the financial
industry.
The misappropriation was substantial.
After twenty years of marriage, I didn’t want to destroy him completely.
Besides, he was Hannah’s father.
was about to call James when I heard Hannah’s painful gasping.
rushed back to find several girls pinning her to the ground.
A girl with dyed red hair yanked Hannah’s hair, forcing her to lick dirt off her shoes.
These are Chanel’s latest design. Think a housekeeper’s daughter can afford to replace them?”
If Mia didn’t pity you, you’d be nothing! How dare you try to steal her boyfriend? I’m going to teach you a
esson for her.”
At the parents’ meeting, James said Mia was his real daughter!”
My fury could no longer be contained. Now I understood.
ames knew everything about our housekeeper’s granddaughter stealing my daughter’s place!
rushed forward, pulling Hannah into my arms while glaring at Mia’s malicious face.
