Dumping The Ice King His Mini-Tyrant novel Chapter 235

He knew exactly what he’d just said would cut Selene to the bone.

And that was precisely why he’d said it—to drive that thorn in.

After Dames finished, he looked at Selene with the smug satisfaction of a victor, waiting for her to flinch, to show some trace of hurt or sorrow.

No one knows how to wound you better than the ones closest to you.

A woman like Selene, who grew up in the countryside and didn’t know the first thing about racing, had no business being the mother of the Vaughn family’s young heir!

“So tell me, Dames, what if I win first place in the exhibition race?” Felicity narrowed her eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips.

Dames’ words had rubbed her the wrong way. She’d gone out of her way for him, poured her heart into gaining his trust. But the moment he heard Luna’s name, he forgot all his promises to Felicity—forgot he’d said he’d help her become his new mom.

After that night down by the slope at Sky Pastures Ranch, Felicity’s image as someone powerful and invincible had completely crumbled in Dames’ eyes.

What kind of strong woman gets spanked by her own dad, anyway?

Even he had only gotten his palms smacked ten times by his father. But Felicity? She’d been spanked, then bawled her eyes out, drooling as she sobbed out apologies. Dames couldn’t even bear to look at her.

And the next morning, Felicity had passed out cold.

He’d seen her hauled back up the slope by Harrison’s men, face swollen from mosquito bites, eyelids puffed up like lanterns.

Dames didn’t even want to admit to anyone that he knew Felicity.

He was desperate for a strong, impressive mom.

Avoiding Felicity’s gaze, his voice grew smaller. “If Flick actually wins first place, I’ll think about it.”

By the end, his words had faded into a mumble.

Rage and resentment boiled inside Felicity, threatening to spill over.

Carmel picked up her phone and dialed. “Hi, there’s an unauthorized person in Luna’s lounge, interfering with her pre-race prep. Could you come here right away?”

When Felicity heard Carmel call for help, she couldn’t hide her satisfaction.

The staff showed up quickly.

Felicity pointed at Selene and declared, “The two of them are messing around in Luna’s lounge! Get them out, now!”

“Miss Thompson, this is Luna’s lounge. I need you to leave immediately,” one of the staff said politely.

But before Felicity could bask in her triumph, several staff members closed in around her.
