The Nanny’s Daughter Took My Birthday Glory

"What the hell are you doing, Tamara Sheffield?" Salazar snapped out of his reverie and wiped the wine off his face. He was shivering with rage. His face was crimson with anger, but his eyes were darting in every direction, trying to hide his guilt.Before I could keep up my interrogation, the top lawyer from Great Law Firm was already stoking everyone's anger. "I can't believe the guards let just anyone in! Hey, you, this gathering's for top lawyers only! You can't just barge in here claiming you're Mr. Solomon's wife and call him a cheater! That is slander! Apologize right now!"The small-time lawyers played along."This isn't the place to throw your tantrum! This land is ruled by law, and the courthouse will deal with your lot!""Maybe Mr. Solomon's kind enough to let it slide, but we won't! We are agents of justice!"That was amusing. I laughed and turned my eyes to Salazar. "So, you're going to take me to court? Please, Salazar. The fact that you're living with another woman

"You're off your rocker, Tamara. Do you really think you're an actual heiress just because you pretend to be? Divorce? Please, Yvonne's my one and only wife."Salazar was clenching his teeth. The man was stuck in a sticky situation, and he had to lie his way out of this.I crossed my arms and watched the circus show unfold. The people around me were changing their opinions, and they showed respect for me.Though they were whispering, their voices were loud enough to pierce through the silence."Tamara's a Sheffield. Maybe Yvonne's the real mistress here.""And if the stories are true, the Sheffield heiress lives a very low-profile life. Yvonne, though, wears designer goods from head to toe. It's like she's overcompensating for something."Yvonne noticed the discussion, and that wiped the smile off her face immediately. She was glaring at me now. "Tamara, I have a PhD in law from Bullings University, while you don't even have a high school diploma. How dare you insult me! I'll cal

"From now on, the legal world does not welcome Salazar Solomon. And his family shall fall with him."My grandfather nodded. He had nothing but love for me. "I knew you wouldn't let these scum push you around." He then turned to his men. "You heard my granddaughter. Rid this city of the Solomons. You have twenty-four hours."It was Salazar's turn to go down on his knees. He too turned white as a ghost, and he tugged on the hem of my dress. "Tamara, please, forgive me."His tears were spilling out of his eyes, and he put his head against my shoes. "Please, spare my family. You're my wife. You're family too. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, really!"His hands were trembling, and his voice was cracking. "I had no idea what I was doing. I… I was just confused. I'll never see Yvonne again, I swear. Please, let's just go home. Please, Tamara…"I sneered again. "Too late."The crowd was in an uproar, and they changed sides again."I knew you were great the moment I saw you, Ms. Sheffield. You d

At the same time, the friends who supported Salazar just a day ago huddled around us. They saw Salazar as their leader both at work and outside of work.Now, no trace of that respect remained. They only had mockery left for him. Some felt glad that he was now down on his luck, and some wanted to cut off all ties with him as fast as they could.One of them sighed. "Mr. Solomon, we knew you'd made a wrong decision a while ago."I was half expecting the guy to add, "I told you so." It was such a cliched line."If you'd treated Ms. Sheffield right, none of this would've happened. Now you don't even have a foothold in this city."Then, his best friend spoke, though his ridicule was sharper than most. "You made a living off Ms. Sheffield, and you betrayed her. What'd you expect? Of course, you lost your livelihood."He stopped for a moment and turned his eyes to me. Now, his voice was filled with respect. "We've always had nothing but respect for you, Ms. Sheffield, but we had to keep
