Hestia sighed, "No, that''s not it."


    Tw, fueled by disbelief, insisted, "It has to be that woman filling dad''s head with lies. Why else would he dislike you so much?"


    She had warned Brittany not to meddle in their family. Yet, here they were.


    Hestia looked at Tw, noticing how much she had changedtely. Just as she was about to offer somefort, Tw hugged her tightly, "Mom, don''t worry. I''ll make dad like you again." Tw was up early, had her breakfast, and was chauffeured to Star Elementary School.


    After Tw''s identity was revealed, it attracted quite a bit of attention.


    Being the first daughter of Eltham, even as an illegitimate child, she was of royal blood!


    Many kids were eager to befriend Tw.


    "Good morning, Tw."


    The children greeted Tw, who wasn''t in a hurry to enter the ssroom, instead, she waited at the door.


    "Waiting for Daniel again, Tw?"


    A boy stepped out of a car, spotting Tw and hurried over, "Stop waiting for him. Daniel doesn''t even like hanging out with you!"


    He had a crush on Tw and wanted to be her best friend.


    Tw was unimpressed, "Get lost!"


    The boy was pushed away, feeling a bit resentful.


    Right then, a dark Maserati stopped in front of the school gate.


    "It''s Daniel''s mom!"


    Some kids recognized Brittany''s car.


    Since her enrollment, Tw hadn''t seen any of Daniel''s family members, so her interest was piqued.


    The car door opened, and Daniel, with his backpack and a box of cupcakes along with a bottle of apple juice, got out.


    Brittany emerged from the back seat, crouched down, and kissed his cheek, "Have a good day at school. Mommy will be off to work but I''ll pick you up in the evening."


    Daniel nodded obediently, "Take care of yourself, mom. Your health is important."


    Brittany pinched his cheek, her heart melting, "We''ll go to that diner you''ve been wanting to try tonight."


    "Yay!"


    Daniel beamed, watching his mom leave.


    "Daniel, your mom is so pretty!"


    A kid struck up a conversation with Daniel.


    He smiled, "My mom is the prettiest woman in the world!"


    "I think so too."


    The duo headed into the ssroom, setting off a good start.


    Tw, upon realizing Brittany was the woman causing strife, clenched her fists. No wonder Daniel was so disagreeable - it ran in the family!


    Marching into the ssroom, Tw confronted Daniel who was


    going


    his apple juice, "Is your mo my dad?" Content longs


    to marry


    Daniel set down his bottle, his cherubic face briefly clouded with displeasure, "It''s your dad who wants to marry my mom."


    Mom would never like someone from Eltham!


    Tw refused to believe it, "Your mom is a homewrecker. She split me and my dad up. She''s shameless!"


    Hearing this, Daniel''s temper red, "Say that again!"


    "Your mom is a homewrecker, a mistress-"


    Tw, not yet satisfied, pushed Daniel hard, "You and your mom, both annoying!"


    The push caused Daniel to stumble into a desk corner, blood flowing instantly.


    Daniel, seemingly oblivious to the


    pain, stood up, his usualpliance

    staring straight at Tw.


    "My mom is not a mistress!"


    Tw was scared but defiant, "Yes, she is. Your mom''s a mistress..."


    Enraged, Daniel lunged at Tw, his face a mask of anger, "Don''t you dare nder my mom!"
