When Everyone Is Bidding on My Daughter의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 9

I stared intently at the photo.The gift that my daughter, Emilia Webb, was holding was a bracelet. It was a one-of-a-kind piece I had searched half of Erovir for just last week as my wife's birthday present.When Lucy Webb received it, she adored it so much that she couldn't put it down. That very night, she carefully locked it away in the safe.But now, it had been given to another man.My fingers felt cold. I was still frozen in shock when a notification popped up in the parents' group chat announcing that a new member had joined."Hello, everyone. I'm Emilia Webb's father, Idris Sherman.""I've been busy with work and overseas until now, so our nanny has been taking care of my daughter. I hope we all get along in the future."Everyone in the group chat got excited immediately.The parent who had shared the post immediately tagged him and asked, "Are you Emilia's dad from the post? Oh my gosh, we finally get to meet the real person!"Idris replied with a smiling emoji. "Tha

Lucy and Idris exchanged smiles as they held Emilia's hand and walked into the kindergarten. They looked just like an ordinary, loving married couple.I sat in my car, feeling as though every drop of blood in my body had run cold. After a long while, I pushed open the car door and followed them inside.The parent-teacher meeting was being held in the kindergarten's multipurpose hall. I quietly entered through the back door and found a seat in the most inconspicuous corner.Lucy and Idris sat together in the center of the front row, chatting and laughing with the other parents around them.I looked at Lucy's side profile. The woman I had loved for seven years now felt like a complete stranger to me. A sharp pain throbbed in my heart.Soon, the director of the kindergarten, Poppy Watson, stepped onto the stage with a smile and announced the start of the meeting."First, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome the newest addition to our kindergarten, our new art teacher, Mr.

The parent-teacher meeting ended hastily after Idris threw a tantrum and Lucy did her best to smooth things over.But after that incident, Idris' hatred toward me had reached its peak.That afternoon, the kindergarten held its scheduled outdoor family event, which was a dodgeball game. I had planned to use the opportunity to pull Emilia aside and talk to her alone. I wanted to ask her why she was distancing herself from me.But before I could get close, Lucy's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID, and her expression changed slightly. After hurriedly saying something to Idris, she quickly walked outside to answer the call.That left only Idris and Emilia on the field.I stood at the edge of the playground, my eyes following Emilia's small figure the entire time.The next second, Idris suddenly bent down and whispered a few words into Emilia's ear. Her eyes lit up. She immediately grabbed a dodgeball from the ground and hurled it at me with all her strength.A dull thud echoed

The parents who had been laughing at me instantly fell silent.Poppy and Idris were also startled by the sudden display. Much of the arrogance on their faces disappeared."W-What's going on? Who are you people?" Poppy demanded, trying to sound tough.No one paid any attention to her. The bodyguards quickly formed a wide path through the crowd.At the end of the path, Hazel, the chief special assistant to the CEO of Leander Group, strode over with steady confidence. Without looking at anyone else, she walked straight up to me and bowed.She said, "My apologies, boss. We arrived late due to the traffic. Your wound is still bleeding. Shall I call your private doctor to treat it immediately?"When she addressed me as "boss", everyone turned and stared at me in shock.Idris' face was filled with disbelief. He clenched his teeth and let out a cold laugh.He jeered, "How much did you pay these actors? You've put on quite a show. Everyone in Jemton knows that Webb Group is the top busi

After Leander Group withdrew all of its investments, Webb Group declared bankruptcy in just three days.Not only did Lucy leave the marriage with nothing, but because of her reckless expansion, she was also left with debts totaling tens of millions. She fell from being the powerful CEO of Webb Group to someone with nothing but overwhelming debt.As soon as Idris learned that Lucy had gone bankrupt, he immediately took the last of their money and tried to run away. But Lucy, who was desperately trying to collect money to pay her debts, caught him red-handed.The two of them got into a vicious fight inside their cramped, rundown apartment, blaming and cursing each other as they clawed and bit like two rabid dogs.Idris called Lucy a liar, while Lucy called Idris a jinx.Later, Idris refused to change his ways. He tried to pose as a wealthy heir at an upscale venue to latch onto another rich woman. This time, however, he picked the wrong target. The woman's husband exposed him on the
