Madeleine sighed.
“If your marriage is unhappy, you should get a divorce and free
yourself. We’re all women here, I understand it’s not easy for
you.”
With just a few words, she had painted Dannie as a pitiful
woman whose husband was cheating, making her lash out at
others due to her unhappy family life.
In the time it took Madeleine to say that, the crowd’s gazes had
already changed.
Seeing the sympathetic looks from the people around her,
Dannie exploded with anger.
“What nonsense are you spouting!
You little bitch, you’re the one with the unhappy marriage! My
husband loves me very much, I don’t need you to run your
mouth.”
Madeleine tutted and rested her head on Roderick’s shoulder.

“Is that so?
Then why isn’t your husband here at the amusement park with
you and your son?”
Dannie was left speechless by the question. ‘
Her face instantly went pale, then red.
Coupled with the pointing and whispering from the crowd,
Dannie was mortified and yanked Austin out from behind her,
scolding him angrily.
“It’s all your fault, spouting nonsense about someone not
having a mom. Isn’t her mom right here!”
The little chubby boy’s lips trembled, and tears immediately
squeezed out of his narrow eyes.
“Boohoo, Mommy, I was telling the truth…”
“Forget it, forget it. Don’t talk nonsense in the future. Let’s go.”
Dannie knew she couldn’t out–talk the sharp young woman, so
she grabbed her son, ready to leave.
“Hold on.”
Chapter 63
Roderick, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke.
His cold aura made everyone instinctively look at him.
“You haven’t apologized to my wife and son yet.”
Dannie froze.
Her husband, Mr. Eleanor, held a high position in the business
world. Usually, people bowed to her when she went out; very
few dared to order her around like this.
Dannie was naturally indignant, but the man’s presence was
just too intimidating.
Besides, the preschool her son used to attend was an exclusive
one. While not every child there was from a wealthy family,
there were bound to be a few you couldn’t afford to offend.
Thinking about the Eleanor family’s current situation, she
decided it was better to be cautious.
Suppressing her anger, Dannie could only grit her teeth and say
to Madeleine, “Sorry, alright? Seriously, kids squabble, and the
parents get all worked up about it.”
A bystander who couldn’t watch anymore spoke up:
Chapter 63
“But you’re the ones who bumped into them on purpose. The
young woman even got hurt protecting her child.”
“Exactly, and you called her a mistress without knowing
anything. That could be grounds for a slander lawsuit…”
Once someone spoke up, the voices of others joining in grew
louder.
Dannie couldn’t handle being scolded by so many people, so
she just shamefully held her big, chubby boy, pushed through
the crowd, and ran off.
“Phew…”
Madeleine let out a sigh of relief. When she turned her head,
she saw Roderick and Kevin squatting down together.
Both of them were frowning, their movements in sync as they
checked her leg.
Roderick: “Are you hurt?
Where does it hurt?”
Kevin: “Mommy, let me blow on it for you.”
Madeleine’s heart warmed. She quickly smiled, “I’m fine.”
Chapter 63
A staff member came over and said that Madeleine’s family
could go to the lounge prepared by the amusement park, and a
medic would come to check on her shortly.
Madeleine wanted to refuse, but the father and son insisted, so
she had to give in and go with them.
The crowd dispersed. From a distant corner, a pair of shadowy
eyes followed Madeleine and the others as they left.
