Alle Kapitel von I Am Their Mother: Rebirth Of The Wicked Stepmother : Kapitel 111 – Kapitel 120

The atmosphere inside the Whitmore mansion had finally relaxed after the earlier chaos surrounding the children. The tense questioning, the endless concerns, and the protective instincts of every family member had finally settled into something much warmer. Ethan had returned to his usual mission of being as irritating as humanly possible. Alexander sat with his phone in hand, pretending complete disinterest while somehow remaining aware of every single conversation taking place around him. Richard was on what was likely his fourth cup of black coffee despite Victoria's repeated complaints, and Victoria herself was distributing criticism equally among family members as only a mother could. And Clara... felt genuinely content. She sat comfortably between her mother and Ethan, relaxed in a way she hadn't been in a very long time. Every now and then, Ethan would say something so absurd that even she couldn't stop herself from laughing. For a few precious moments, she was

As Jade climbed into the driver's seat and closed the door behind him, the noise of the mansion disappeared. And once again, his thoughts returned to Clara. The more he considered the situation... The more uncomfortable it became. Why would Clara meet Vanessa? After everything that had happened? After everything Vanessa had done? After everything Clara herself had said? Nothing fit or aligned. And Jade hated loose pieces. He hated unanswered questions. Most importantly... He trusted his instincts. And right now, every instinct he possessed was telling him the same thing. Something was very wrong. The engine started, and the car slowly pulled away from the Whitmore mansion and merged into the busy roads. The city buzzed with life around him. Yet Jade's attention remained fixed on the growing puzzle in front of him. Then his phone vibrated. His eyes briefly moved toward the screen. For a split second, he thought it might be Clara. Perhaps she had final

Clara continued. "I could erase everything your families spent decades building." Her voice remained calm, which somehow made it more terrifying. "No effort..." "No struggle..." "No consequences..." "I can do that with just a phone call. And yet you've somehow convinced yourselves that I desperately wanted your friendship. How naive!" Shock spread across their faces. Because this wasn't the Clara they remembered. The old Clara had always sought approval. Always tried to maintain harmony, smiled through insults, and gave people second chances. The old Clara had been easy to manipulate, easy to flatter, and easy to exploit. But the woman sitting before them now... felt completely different. She wasn't trying to win them over. She wasn't defending herself. She wasn't even angry. The terrifying part was that she genuinely seemed indifferent. As though their opinions meant nothing. As though they were too insignificant to matter. And that realization frig

Everything happened so quickly that even Clara hadn't expected it. The moment she pulled out her phone and unlocked it, one of the bulky bodyguards suddenly moved. His arm shot forward aggressively. And before Clara could even press the button... The phone was ripped from her hand. The movement was so abrupt that her wrist was jerked slightly to the side. For the first time since entering the club... Clara blinked. Not because she was frightened. Because she was genuinely surprised. The bodyguard looked almost proud of himself as he held the phone. As though he had just accomplished something impressive. The room remained silent for a second. Then... Sophia laughed—a sharp, mocking laugh. Olivia quickly joined her, and Rachel wasn't far behind. Even Vanessa's lips slowly curled upward. The atmosphere immediately changed. The confidence that had been missing moments ago suddenly returned. Because in their minds... they had finally gained the upper hand. "Well," Sophia s

The moment Jade appeared in the doorway, everything inside the VIP room changed so abruptly that it felt as though someone had flipped a switch. The atmosphere that had been thick with arrogance, tension, and hostility only seconds earlier instantly transformed into something entirely different. The confidence that had been radiating from the bodyguards vanished as Jade shoved the bodyguard who was going to hit Clara away after twisting his hand. The threatening energy disappeared. Even the air itself seemed heavier as every pair of eyes in the room locked onto the tall figure standing near the entrance. Just moments ago, the four bodyguards had looked intimidating, standing proudly as though they controlled the situation and everyone in it. Now, however, they looked like men who had suddenly realized they had made a terrible mistake. Fear flashed across their faces so clearly that even the girls watching from the sidelines could see it. And honestly, they had every reason t
