Chapter 1

The school leaders and officials from the Department of Education were seated, ready for the class session.As the bell rang, I claimed the start of the class, but the students remained unresponsive.They were either engrossed in their textbooks or casting meaningful glances my way.I sensed something was amiss.But considering the presence of the leaders and officials, I forced a smile and began my introduction.Moments later, as I started the lecture from the projection, I discovered my PPT had been replaced!The words "Mistress's Charge Letter" glaringly appeared on the screen.Before I could react, Jennifer Woolf stood abruptly."Ladies and gentlemen, today I'm reporting my history teacher, Odelia Woolf, is a homewrecker, destroying my family!"A wave of whispers spread through the class.Hearing this, the leaders and officials immediately turned to the principal.I maintained composure, saying, "Jennifer, if you have an issue with me, let's discuss it privately. This is

Chapter 2

Jennifer's mother, Doris Dewey, had been a struggling student funded by Harlan.After graduating from high school, she was suddenly found to be pregnant and did not even attend university.Every time Harlan mentioned her, his words were full of regret.Later, her life had been not satisfactory, and Harlan, unable to bear it, took care of her often.Perhaps it was for this reason that Jennifer misunderstood the relationship between Harlan and Doris.Thinking of this, I explained sincerely once again, "Harlan and I are legally married! Although we did not have a wedding ceremony back then, many people knew about our marriage."An older female teacher in the audience also chimed in, "I can testify to this. When Harlan got married, he indeed sent us all wedding candies."Jennifer sneered after hearing this. "Just because you ate some wedding candies, did he personally admit that he married Odelia?"The teacher was stunned for a moment, then silently shook her head.Actually, since

"Well! If that's what you want, don't blame me for exposing your shame!"As Jennifer took out her phone to call her mother, I also called Harlan, who was in a meeting out of town, but no one answered.I had no choice but to send him a message, asking him to come back quickly.In a short while, Doris arrived at the school.Jennifer took out a spare key and opened the door for her."Mom, don't be afraid! Tell everyone here, is Odelia the third party in your marriage?"Doris bit her lip lightly, looking weak and helpless."Jennifer, just let it go! After all, it's a family matter. Airing our history in public won't do Odelia's reputation any good.""Mom, she has bullied you, yet you are still thinking about her! She's only so bold in her affair because she thinks you're an easy target. With so many witnesses today, it's time to stand up for you, the rightful wife!"Doris blinked, a tear escaping the corner of her eye. "I'm just a housewife, while Odelia holds a prestigious positi

Stunned, Jennifer clutched her face, yelling at Harlan, "Are you really leaving my mom for your mistress?"I scoffed, "With an illegitimate daughter of such an age, you must feel aggrieved that you married me. Harlan Woolf, I want a divorce!"Doris, seeing her child in distress, immediately shielded her."Harlan, how could you strike our daughter to defend this mistress?"The gathered students and teachers glanced at one another, casting uncertain looks between Doris and me.Harlan roared at Doris, "Have you had enough of this madness, you psycho?"Then, softly to me, he urged, "Odelia, let's get you to the hospital. I'll explain everything once you're better."I shrugged off his supportive hand. "I can go to the hospital by myself. Your explanation is needed here."Only then did Harlan notice the crowd.His expression froze, his look towards Doris turning gloomy.At that instant, a young man in a suit knocked."Odelia, your car awaits; I'll escort you to the hospital."It

I called the police and filed a report against Jennifer for intentional injury.The authority graded it as a minor, second-degree injury.Consulting with a lawyer, I learned that Jennifer's sentence would be lenient because she was a minor.However, her imprisonment wasn't my goal; that would be a mercy for her.The lawyer warned me that Jennifer's family might seek a lenient sentence, possibly asking for a letter of understanding.True to his words, Doris and Jennifer appeared at my door after my discharge from the hospital a few weeks later, pleading for my forgiveness."Jennifer's just a child; how could you report her to the police?" Doris chided.I didn't know what Harlan might have told Jennifer, but it was clear she persisted in believing I was the mistress."Mom, don't beg her!" Jennifer's voice was laced with disdain. "Her baby was nothing but an illegitimate child who should have never seen the light of day!""Odelia, you can mistreat me all you want, but you can't c

My gaze fell on the imprint of a hand on her cheek, and curiosity flickered within me."Are you addressing me from the standpoint of an illegitimate child? If I'm not mistaken, it's you who's intruding on my family, engaging in brazen and immoral conduct," I retorted.As I spoke, Jennifer's complexion flushed a deep scarlet.The very insults she had hurled at me that day now seemed to press down upon her.With a sneer, I was about to turn and leave, but her voice rang out, halting me in my tracks."I'm not wrong! Don't illegitimate children deserve humanity too? All I've ever wanted was a normal family! My mom was right— the one who isn't loved is the mistress!""Oh, so you take his hitting and scolding as signs of love; is that it? Then Harlan truly does love you both," I replied with a heavy dose of sarcasm.Without another word, I sidestepped her and went upstairs.The next day, as I was about to go to school to cancel my leave, Owen called."Odelia, someone posted the vide

The live chat erupted with reactions."The mistress has come clean. It's time to rally against her.""Unbelievable, we've been wronging Mrs. Woolf this whole time!""Is she experiencing a change of heart, stepping forward to face the backlash?"Amidst the intensifying vitriol, Doris offered a woeful smile."I swear, I was completely unaware that he had another family! No woman willingly takes on the scorned role of the mistress. I was deceived by Harlan Woolf!""Naive and young, I was easily persuaded by his words and be with him blindly. I sacrificed my college dreams just to bear his child. We've been together for fifteen years, yet now I'm told that I've been the mistress all along, wreaking havoc on another woman's marriage.""I never intended this; I genuinely didn't realize I was destroying another woman's marriage."Her soul-crushing weeping and desolate demeanor swiftly drew the compassion of numerous online viewers.As she had expected, people began to change their mi

Chapter 8

Harlan and I went to the court to submit the application.With the mandatory waiting period, a month of uncertainty lay ahead.In the interim, Jennifer faced the trial for her intentional act of harm.Given her underage status and the lack of severe injury on my part, the case resulted in a civil suit for damages.Exiting the courtroom, I was confronted by Jennifer who attempted to seek answers from me."Why didn't my dad come to see me?" she asked.I could only offer a shrug, telling her about the divorce thing and that I had no idea where he was."Why wasn't your mom with you today?" I inquired, to which she replied, "She's not been herself lately, often talking to the air."Jennifer's eyes glistened with unshed tears, her voice tinged with melancholy.Our brief exchange was interrupted by a call on Jennifer's phone. I heard a woman's voice."Jennifer, your dad's online, claiming you're not his daughter, and he's suing for defamation!"The news visibly distressed her, prom
