"I'm not going to join any faction at school." New here, Jen knows that, as a single mom, your distancing is politeness. But while she can be alone, her five-year-old son cannot be alone. Now, she shows up at parties where parents gather as Madeleine and Celeste's new ally.

Madeleine was cheerful and capable, and lived like a queen. Only in front of her ex-husband, she looks like a girl, making trouble. She had never understood why he and his new wife wanted their children to go to the same school as hers; And the daughters she raised alone, dare to love the father who abandoned them more!

Celeste is a lucky woman who doesn't even have the right to complain. Just look at the photos her husband posted on the Internet. The men and women were beautiful, the sons were well-behaved, and the smiles on everyone's face showed off their wealth and ease. But what was that gleam of darkness in her eyes?

As they walked in, some words were hidden deeper.

Dressed up for this party with a secret. Probably tipsy, they didn't even have time to smile when the screams started -- Celeste's husband had fallen. Jean and Madeline exchanged glares, then heard Celeste calmly spit out, "I didn't see anything."
