She probably didn’t expect a regular mom to
have that kind of tone and attitude.
“Maddie’s mom, what do you think you’re
doing?”
I smiled slightly, “I don’t like showing off, but
that doesn’t mean I’ll let people walk all over
me.”
Ten minutes later, I was sitting on the sofa in
the principal’s office, waiting. The school
nurse had already taken my daughter to get
cleaned up.
My phone vibrated. Laura had sent me a
message.

A long paragraph of text introducing the
twins‘ mother’s background.
“Brianna Gallagher, previously a hostess at a
club, started to become active in social
circles after hooking up with a wealthy man
three years ago. Rose to prominence through
men, with no real business of her own, but
flaunts wealth publicly, calling herself the
‘Richest Wife.‘ The twins‘ enrollment forms

“That’s right!”
The other boy chimed in, “When we grow up,
all the girls in the world will be ours! What’s
one Maddie! If she doesn’t listen next time, I’ll
keep throwing her up in a tree!”

To my shock, Brianna Gallagher clapped and

“That’s right! My boys!”

Brianna Gallagher’s face darkened.
