Classmate's Triumph and CEO's Regret
At the parent-teacher conference, Emery Carey's essay, My CEO Mom, won first place, earning thunderous applause from the class.
But the mood soured when my daughter ran to me in tears, her cheeks marked with red handprints. "Emery hit me again. He said I don't belong in his class and spat in my face."
I scooped her up and marched to the teacher to demand answers.
The teacher brushed it off. "It's just kids' horseplay. Don't blow it out of proportion. Emery's mother is the CEO of Mills Group. Get the picture and pull your kid out. Don't affect the mood."
I froze, shocked by the absurdity.
Then I dialed my lawyer. "Prepare the divorce agreement. Olivia is leaving with nothing."
She'd been using my money to fund her lover and his son. That betrayal would not go unpunished.
