Spencer instantly turned furious. Without a word, he walked up to me and slapped me hard across the face.

It was the first time he had ever hit me.

But I didn't feel any pain on my face—my heart hurt far more.

"You left Dora at home alone only to bully Gloria out of ridiculous jealousy. You disappoint me so much. How did Dora end up with such a petty mother like you?" Spencer was furious.

"You like crying over a stranger's ashes, right? Then cry as much as you want. From today on, I will take Dora away. You are not worthy of being her mother. I don't want Dora to be influenced by you!"

As he spoke, Spencer took out his phone and ordered coldly, "Jenna, take Dora to my private villa immediately. Linsey is not allowed to see her without my permission."

On the other end of the phone, Jenna hesitated before saying, "Mr. Jones, Dora died in a car accident the day you were supposed to pick her up from school."

"I also discovered that the grave full of daisies where Ms. Smith wanted to bury her dog is where Dora's ashes were buried!"
