Our usually reliable nanny, Emma Spencer, called me three times in a row today, sounding completely panicked. "Ma’am, something’s wrong. The kindergarten security won’t let Noah in, no matter what! They said the name that shows up when they scan the card doesn’t match. The card belongs to a kid named 'Gabriel', not our Noah at all!" My hand paused over the report I was reviewing, my brows furrowing. "Emma, didn't my husband hand the card to you himself last night?" On the other end, she sounded like she was about to cry. "Yes! But the scanner shows the name 'Gabriel Cooper'. The guard says we must have the wrong card and keeps questioning me!" That didn’t make any sense. To get Noah into the top-tier Starlight Bilingual Academy, I had pulled every string I could half a year ago and paid a $300,000 donation just to secure a spot. For the past month, my husband, Scott Shaw, had been the one driving our son to school every day. This morning, he said he was busy and couldn’t take Noah, so Emma went instead. So how did it suddenly turn into someone else’s school card the moment she took over?

The Wrong Child Chapter 9
Scott collapsed completely, slumping to the ground like a heap of mud."Katie, do you really have to be this ruthless? I’m Noah’s father, no matter what. Do you have to push me to death before you’re satisfied?" His tone shifted from pleading to bitter resentment."Ruthless?" I let out a cold laugh as I walked past him toward the driver’s seat. "Compared to what you did to Noah and me, this is nothing more than self-defense."As for whether you live or die, what does that have to do with me? That’s something you and Amanda should worry about."I started the car. The engine roared through the underground garage.Scott cursed wildly behind me, but I didn’t hear a single word.Everything that followed went smoother than I expected. After receiving the court’s enforcement order, Amanda completely broke down. She had thought clinging to Scott would elevate her status and turn her into a trophy wife.Instead, not only was the school-district apartment forcibly auctioned off to repay t
The Wrong Child Chapter 8
What happened that day blew up online.All of Scott and Amanda’s personal information was dug up, and mine along with it.I didn’t make any public statements, nor did I try to capitalize on the attention to promote my business. Even Scott and Amanda stayed quiet, which honestly surprised me.The internet is messy, and society tends to be far more forgiving toward men with questionable morals.I had been worried he might try to twist the narrative and smear me, so I had Mr. Carter ready at all times to collect evidence.However, a full month passed. Despite the flood of online criticism, neither of them said a word. Even the divorce agreement I sent over remained untouched.Without any dramatic plot twist, the story was quickly buried under the next trending topic. Meanwhile, Mr. Carter and I moved forward with final preparations for the lawsuit.That day, as I was heading out, I ran into Scott in the underground parking garage. He was leaning against my car door, cigarette butts

Mrs. Morgan wiped the sweat from her forehead, hands trembling as she pressed the remote.Scott snapped back to his senses and shouted, "No! Don’t play it!"Too late.The large screen, which was showing a cheerful animated short moments ago, flickered, then switched to surveillance footage.The video played for five full minutes. It showed everything.The dashcam footage I had seen that morning.Photos of Scott meeting Amanda in secret.Even the surveillance footage I had obtained from Sunflower Daycare.Frame by frame, it laid bare how he treated Noah and Gabriel differently… how he used my money to support another woman… how he played the role of a devoted father in one place and a complete stranger in another.Every ugly truth and disgusting detail was exposed to everyone in the room.The entire hall buzzed with excitement. Phones were already out, recording nonstop.Only Scott stood still, staring straight at me. If not for the bodyguards, he probably would’ve lunged at
The Wrong Child Chapter 6
The one who spoke was Scott’s rival for the team lead position, Conner Schultz. He had been lurking in the crowd the whole time. Now that he’d caught Scott slipping, the excitement on his face was impossible to hide."Y-You… Why are all of you here?!" Scott completely fell apart.Seizing the moment, the two bodyguards stepped in, pulling him away from us, one on each side. Seeing her son being handled like that, Elaine rushed forward in a panic, shielding him. "Hey! What are you doing?! Let go of my son!"When she realized the bodyguards were with me, her expression hardened as she snapped at me, "Katie, what is this supposed to mean? Bringing outsiders to bully your own husband?"A fight between husband and wife should stay between the two of you. You talk it out. Why are you dragging other people into this? Just because you’ve got a bit of money, you think you can treat my son like he’s nothing?""The one who’s nothing is your son!" my mother shot back without hesitation. "Why

"Dad?!"I stared at the screen, frozen, as if every drop of blood in my body had solidified in that instant.That crisp, innocent "Dad" hit me like a hammer straight to the temple. My mind went blank, my thoughts scattering into nothing.Scott cheated? And not just that, but he even had a child w
