Triplets’ Mighty Mom Novel

Chapter 40 Daughter-in-Law

Camila had a menacing look on her face as she pressed harder. “Birds of the same feather flock together. Your whole family is trash!” “Ah... Let me go!” Florence yelled. Camila gave South a look. “South, you better go now.” At this moment, South kept a straight face before yelling, “Mommy, we only reason with human beings and not other animals!” These words made Camila laugh. “Alright. You better go to class now.” South acknowledged it before casually walking into the school with his hands in his pockets. Florence angrily looked at South while commenting hatefully, “He's really the son of a beggar; he doesn’t know what manner is.” Camila squinted, then swung at her, sending her flying. “Who do you think you are?” Being caught completely off guard, Florence was slammed against the school’s gate and bounced back, almost falling to the ground. Even though she was absolutely terrified, she still wanted to lash out at Camila at this point. “Camila, you are truly disrespectful. How can you treat someone older than you like this? Fortunately, my son didn't marry you.” Camila sneered. “Fortunately, I didn’t marry him. It would be very unlucky of me to have such a devious mother-in-law like you. Only someone like Lyla can deal with you!” As she finished, she proceeded to walk away. “Camila, where do you think you're going? I'm going to tell your dad!” Florence shouted, but Camila pretended not to hear anything. Meanwhile, the security guard came out of the school. “Is your son still coming in?” Still slightly mad, Florence yelled at the security guard, “Didn't you see that my grandson just fell?” The security guard was rendered speechless. “Then, help him up. That's no big deal. Isn't the kid that you pushed just fine? It's nothing serious.” His words shut Florence up. Then, she helped Mitchell up. “Mitch, let me have a look at you to see if you're okay.” Mitchell broke down and shouted, “My butt is hurting! I don’t want to go to school today!”

Florence dusted him off and consoled, “Alright, alright. Let's go home then.” Then, she took him back inside the car as the security guard shook his head, feeling speechless. He could not bring himself to agree with this way of raising a child.

After Camila got back, she immediately called Kate and Landon over to her place for a big discussion. “I'm going to open a fashion studio immediately, and we're going for the high-end market.” Kate supported her, “Sounds good! You'll be the founder. Since I'm in the fashion magazine industry, this makes us a perfect match.” Landon added, “I can help you find a suitable shop location. I'm familiar with Summer City, so it's not a problem for me!”

Camila turned to both of them and smiled. “Alright then. It's official. I'm going to make that family pay.”

Kate and Landon looked at each other. “What happened? Did you run into Lyla again?” Camila puckered up her lips. “It was Lyla's mother-in-law. I believe I've come to the realization that every time God puts you through hardships, you shouldn't complain as the hardships may be God's way of saving you.” She put out such a profound statement all of a sudden, leaving Kate and Landon even more confused. “Did you guys fight?” Kate asked.

Camila responded, “When she was sending Lyla’s child to school, that child ran too fast and knocked into South. South was fine but he fel.” After recounting what happened this morning, she added, “Fortunately, I'm not her daughter-in-law. Otherwise, I might die young.”
