Chapter 77
Her son’s reputation was more important than anything else. “Calm down, Dad. I’ll kick her out right
away.”
Meanwhile, Daphne still had no idea what had happened. She could only tell that the looks people were giving her were becoming increasingly strange.
Shannon stormed over and hurled her phone at Daphne. “Just look at what you’ve done!”
Daphne caught the phone and looked at it. Then, she realized the cat was out of the bag. She was about to explain herself when Shannon said, “Leave before you embarrass yourself any further!”
For the Lane family, getting rid of a celebrity was child’s play.
Daphne never imagined she’d leave in such a humiliating way. She sat in the minivan, reeling from the shock. Everything clicked when she thought of what Yvette had said. It must’ve been Yvette’s doing!
Meanwhile, Kiki saw the news as well. She and Yvette had planned this all along and chose to release it at this hour. As she watched Daphne being kicked out, she texted Yvette.
“Serves that two–faced bitch right for being so cocky!”
Kiki stood up and wanted to go out and revel in Daphne’s humiliation. All of a sudden, her gaze landed on a familiar, short figure in the distance. “Zac?”
She was wondering why Zachary was here as well when she noticed that a few bodyguards had apprehended him, holding him up with one hand before bringing him over to Tristan, the heir to the Shaw family.
There was no way his little legs could outrun those tall and burly bodyguards. Zachary had tried his best, running as far as he could, but he was still caught. He could only blame himself for being too
short.
“I’ve finally caught you, you little brat.” Tristan looked at him smugly.
Zachary put on his most innocent face. “Mister, could you please ask him to put me down? I don’t know you.
Tristan chuckled, exasperated. “Is that right? Weren’t you the one who deliberately spilled wine on me at the hotel that day and then threw my clothes and phone out the window?”
Zachary shook his head. “You’ve got the wrong person, Mister. I’ve never been to any hotels.”
Tristan had expected this little brat to not own up to it. Yet, he dared to put on such an innocent act.
He rose to his feet, walked over to Zachary, raised his hand, and was about to spank him when someone abruptly yelled, “Hold it right there!”
Tristan came to a halt, looked in the direction of the voice, and noticed a sweet–looking woman
marching toward them angrily.

Zachary couldn’t believe that Kiki was here as well. He felt like he would be in serious trouble when he got home that day. However, the current situation was more pressing.
“Save me, Mommy… He tried to hit me!”
This was the first time that the little troublemaker was asking for her help. Kiki felt her heart melt, and she felt both happy and worried.
Mommy? Tristan gazed at Kiki intently. If this woman was the brat’s mother, didn’t that mean she was his former lover?
But why did he not remember this woman at all? He couldn’t believe that she had secretly given birth
to his child.
Kiki rushed over and tried to take Zachary from the bodyguard’s arms. Tristan gave the bodyguard a look, and the latter let go of Zachary.
Kiki immediately checked on Zachary. She didn’t even have the time to ask why he was there. “Does it hurt anywhere?”
Zachary shook his head. “No. I’m fine. You got here just in time, Mommy.” Kiki breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Tristan approached them. “Is he your son?”
When she heard that, she looked up at him angrily. “If he’s not my son, then whose is he? How could you grab my son like that? And you were about to hit him just no
