Chapter 10

مؤلف: Sunecho
With everything settled, we hadn't planned on having anything more to do with Dad.

But if we didn't come out, he just stood at our door, refusing to leave.

People were coming and going, all of them staring, and it wasn't a good look.

So we let him in.

And we did want to hear whatever else he could possibly say.

Besides, my followers were waiting for my next post.

From the news, I knew he'd been having a rough time lately.

Sure enough, he said, "The company's stock has all but evaporated. The boa

  • I Let the Comments Coach My Timid Mom to the Top   Chapter 11

    Summer ended, and I was about to fly to New York.Mom saw me off at the airport and hugged me tight."Leah, go and meet your brand-new life.""You too, Mom."With money and time on her hands now, she'd bought a dance company of her own.The buzz from the whole divorce circus hadn't died down yet.The moment she announced it, every ticket sold out.Two years later, the company was one of the top three in the city.I heard about Vivian secondhand.She moved three times. After the baby was born, the father never showed up.She had no real job, scraping by on government assistance and community support.She couldn't stand that kind of life, so she started chasing men again.But the baby had become a burden.Selfish and cruel as she was, she abandoned the child without a second thought.But she was too stupid for that.A security camera caught the whole thing, plain as day.The child was placed with a welfare agency, and she was hauled off to prison.As for Dad.A financial program ran one

The board voted me out."He stared blankly into the water in his glass. "I'm not 'Mr. Sheffield' anymore."He set the glass down and suddenly dropped to his knees."Evelyn, I was wrong.""I never should have believed that woman.""I'm begging you. Give me one more chance. I'll be good to you, good to Leah. The company's gone, everything's gone. You two are all I have left. Can't we start over, as a family?"Mom and I both froze.Was he putting on an act now too?"Dad."I suddenly called out to him.His

    Dad showed up forty minutes after the recording went out.He looked hollowed out from the inside, his hair uncombed, his suit jacket slung crookedly over one arm, the top button of his shirt fastened in the wrong hole so the hem hung uneven."Is the recording real?"His voice was hoarse, like someone had had a hand around his throat."It's real.""The baby... the baby isn't mine?""No. It's her ex's. They've been together for over three years."He knew I could never fake something like this.His voice shook. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"I smiled."You wouldn't listen to a single word of Mom's explanation. Would you have believed me?"He couldn't get out a word. He dragged himself out the door.I soon found out what he went to do.Someone filmed it and posted it online: Vivian dragging a suitcase, being thrown out of the apartment building, in a wrinkled pajama coat, no makeup, her hair a bird's nest.Security blocked her from getting back in. She turned and screamed up at the windo

    But Vivian wasn't some fool with no moves left.Over the years, Dad had had plenty of mistresses, and she was the only one who'd ever secured an actual title, so she clearly had her tricks.After hiding in her apartment for a full forty-eight hours, she posted a tearful video."I'm just young, I don't know any better. But I really do love Samuel."She buried her face in her hands, then lifted it again."Those videos were edited. That mother and daughter set me up on purpose. Please, everyone, don't blame Samuel, he had no idea about any of this."Viewers weren't buying it."Young? Is twenty-eight a child now?""That 'no-makeup' look is rough. The foundation's so thick it's creasing."But she only needed one viewer.The richest, dumbest one of all.Dad came storming over the very next night."What were you thinking, posting those videos?"He was furious and aching for her all at once."Vivian's too scared to even leave the house now! How old is she? Everything she said was just a young

    Dad had a major deal to sign, and he'd deliberately chosen the ballroom of the most expensive hotel on the east side.Unlike Mom, Vivian loved being the center of attention.Today, I'd make her go viral across the entire internet.Vivian stood beside Dad in Chanel's newest limited-edition suit, clinging affectionately to his arm.To the dozens of press outlets in front of him, Dad said, "Thank you all for coming to witness this important moment. I also have a personal announcement."He glanced at Vivian."We'll be getting married next month."A moment this important, this serious, and he had to make everyone witness his love life.God help any business partner stuck working with a lovesick idiot like him.Let me be generous and lend his partners a hand.I tapped my screen a few times.Footage suddenly started playing across the big screen.It was all footage of Vivian's visits to our home.She showed off, she belittled us, she hurled insults."What's the point of getting into Yale or H

    The divorce papers were barely signed before Dad seemed to have smoothed things over with Vivian.She put up a dozen-plus posts, all of them photos of Michelin restaurants, private jets, and close-ups of an egg-sized diamond.Maybe because she knew Mom had once been a stage performer, she was determined to put on her own production and give herself a spotlight."Sigh. My fiancé gave everything to his family, only to be tormented by his marriage for over a decade."Did my dad even know about any of this?"And now, at last, he's found me, the love of his life.""But his ex-wife won't let him go. He gave her two-thirds of everything, and she STILL wants to drag her daughter down to the company to make a scene!""Honestly, I don't care about his money at all. I just hate seeing him hurt."The comments warned me:[The mistress has started her show.][Daughter, get in there! Don't let her control the narrative!]I just quietly took screenshots.Just wait.A few days later, Dad's middle-aged-
