“Let me reintroduce myself. I am Lily Su’s mother, and also the Chairwoman of Flying Group.”
“As for him,” I pointed at Samuel not far away, “he’s just a son–in–law who married into our Su family.”
I took the marriage certificate of Samuel and me from Luke’s hand, displayed it, then smashed it on the ground.
In that instant, I read humiliation in Samuel’s eyes.
But this was just the beginning.
Everyone’s mouths dropped open, their eyes wide.
The quick–witted influencer parent immediately zoomed in on the marriage certificate on the ground:
“Followers, here comes the real plot twist!”
“Look everyone, this is the real mistress!”
After saying that, she was about to shove the camera in Rachel’s face.
Rachel hadn’t recovered from the shock and quickly covered her face with her hands: “Stop filming!”
The other onlooking parents also started discussing:
“So we misunderstood?!”
“Who wouldn’t misunderstand?! This is too outrageous. What kind of good person abandons his wife and daughter to accompany his mistress and illegitimate son in public?!”
“I’ve never seen such a shameless person!”
“Shameless meets shameless, they’re a perfect match!”
As for those who had been sucking up to Samuel, they were quick to change sides and started cursing Samuel and Rachel along with everyone else.
Samuel was furious with embarrassment: “Quincy, do you have to humiliate me like this? How will Lily face people in the future?”
Rachel seemed to have figured out the situation and put on an act, crying:
“It’s all my fault. I asked Samuel to help. Leo has grown up without a father, I just asked Samuel to pretend to be his father for a day. Who would have thought, who would have thought…”
“It’s the fault of us poor widowed mother and son!”
As she finished speaking, she fell to her knees in front of me with a thud and started slapping herself.
Samuel and Leo hurried to stop her. Samuel glared at me, his eyes bloodshot:
“Are you trying to drive Rachel to her death?”
There are always people in this world who use weakness to gain sympathy.
After Rachel’s performance, some people really started to sympathize with her.
“Sigh, she’s just a pitiful mother trying to give her son a perfect 5th birthday.”

“Using power and influence to bully this widowed mother and son, how cruel!”
I stepped forward and looked at her with an amused expression:
“Was it really just innocent help?”
Rachel froze. I didn’t give her time to react before having Luke throw out an investigation report.
This time, the crowd exploded.
When Rachel gave birth years ago, Samuel had accompanied her the whole time. There were video recordings and medical records from the maternity hospital as evidence.
Rachel was indeed an unmarried mother, but the child always had a father – Samuel.
No wonder all these years, whenever Samuel bought gifts for Lily, he would buy one for Leo too.
I hadn’t thought much of it before, but looking back now, there were red flags everywhere.
I remember one year when Type A flu was sweeping through Deerfield.
Lily showed symptoms and was sick for days.
I managed to get some special medicine for Lily, but the next day it disappeared.
When I questioned Samuel, he avoided eye contact and said his friend’s child had a high fever that wouldn’t break, so it was life–saving medicine.
I was furious. Other people’s children were precious, but wasn’t my Lily my life?!
Lily suffered for so long, with a high fever that left her flushed and burning hot.
My heart ached for so long too.
But later Samuel let it slip, and I found out.
He had given that special medicine to Rachel, even though Leo wasn’t even infected. Rachel had just said, “Samuel, I’m worried Leo might catch it too. I’d like to have some medicine on hand just in case.”
And Samuel gave it to her.
From that moment, I started to have suspicions and had people investigate.
Until today, I finally got solid evidence.
“Samuel, Rachel, you scumbags, do you have anything else to say?”
I threw the evidence in their faces. The thin A4 paper cut Samuel’s face, drawing blood.
Everyone else became angry too. This was utterly despicable!
He already had a child with someone else, yet he still married into a rich family and used his wife’s assets to support his ex and illegitimate
son!
