On the day of the final dance competition.
Gemma and a group of children went backstage to prepare for the competition.
Seeing Gemma, two children sniggered and whispered to each other.
"I heard from my daddy and mommy that Gemma's biological father isn’t Ethan Collins. Maybe she doesn't even have a father.”
"Ha-ha! No one wants you." A child pointed to Gemma and said loudly.
Gemma rolled her eyes at them. "Even if I don't have a daddy or have no idea who my daddy is, it has nothing to do with you!"
"You are just afraid to admit that you don’t have a daddy. You are a coward!"
Her classmates all began to laugh at her and even pointed at her rudely.
Gemma ducked them nimbly. She narrowed her eyes instantly and said in an extremely cold voice, "I have a daddy!"
"Really? If you have a daddy, why do so many people not know who he is?"
"Even the teacher said that she had no idea who your daddy is!"
"My mommy said that your mommy is so amazing, for she found so many daddies for you!"
Gemma glared at them and clenched her small fists tightly.
The children still shouted noisily, "You just don't have a daddy!"
"So you have a lot of daddies! We just have one daddy, but you have many."
Gemma couldn't help panting with anger. "Shut up!"
"Why did you ask us to shut up? So many people on the Internet are speaking ill of you, and why don't you shut them up?"
"That's right! You aren't qualified to lose your temper with us! You're just a child who doesn't have a daddy, s o don’t be so arrogant!"
"Don't ever think we will be afraid of you since you have a powerful family background!”
Crossing their arms around their chests, some kids came to Gemma’s side in a domineering manner.
The parents of these kids were afraid to say anything i n front of Anna and Liam, but after getting home, they would inevitably gossip about them. Knowing the truth from their parents, these kids absolutely didn't treat Gemma with a good attitude when seeing her.
It was because of Gemma’s family background that they lost the chance to win the first prize and become the spokesperson of well-known children’s clothing brands.
"You are really boring!" Gemma didn't want to argue with them, and she was about to leave, but then a girl stopped her.
"Then tell us who your daddy is! If you can't, you have t o admit that you don't have one!"
Gemma tried hard to break free from the girl’s grip, and her little face had turned red with anger. "I warn you to stop touching me! You aren’t qualified to offend me!”
"How dare you speak to me like that? Maybe your mother gave birth to you after hooking up with some random guy! Perhaps she also doesn't know who your daddy is!”
"Don't you dare say it again!” Gemma was so angry that she directly rushed up and pushed that girl onto the ground.
She stared at the girl with sharp eyes and said loudly," I am telling you that if you dare to slander me and my mommy again, I will beat you!"
The girl immediately cried out of fear.
Her parents rushed backstage and lifted their daughter from the ground.
When the girl saw that her parents were coming, she regained her confidence. She pointed to Gemma and cried, "Mommy, she hit me!"
The girl's mother immediately became furious. She snapped, "Why did you hit my daughter?"
The girl's father hurriedly pulled her away. "Don’t take it seriously. The two kids just had a small conflict.”
The woman got rid of her husband and pointed to Gemma, shouting, "A child without a father indeed has bad manners!"
"I'm not a child without a father!" Gemma’s eyes instantly turned red with anger, but she managed to hold back her tears.
"My daughter didn't say anything wrong. Why did you hit her? You are so ill-mannered!" The woman raised her hand and was about to teach Gemma a lesson.
The man quickly pulled her sleeves and said, "Honey, please stop. Don't you know who she is?"
"I don't care who she is! She just can't beat my daughter without a reason! Does she think that she can do anything since her mother is a dissolute woman?"
