# Chapter 406: A Mother's Fury
Hello everyone, it’s me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 406 of "The Untouchable Ex Wife" — a chapter bursting with confrontation, childish cunning, and a mother’s fierce protectiveness. If you thought the drama ended with Seraphina getting a dunking in the pond, think again. The war has only just begun, and this time, the battlefield is the garden lawn — and the weapons? A water gun, a handful of grass, and a very fearless little boy named Adie.
Let’s dive right in, shall we?
The sunlight was warm, the coffee was fragrant, and Renee was enjoying what should have been a peaceful moment — until she noticed the scene unfolding before her. Seraphina, still drenched and humiliated from her earlier plunge into the pond, was struggling to open her eyes. But when she finally blinked through the burning water, the face she saw made her blood boil. It was Adie. The very child who had caused her to tumble into that cold, murky water. The little devil who had made her the laughingstock of the day.
And now, here he was again — standing there with a water gun in hand, a mischievous spark in his eyes, and absolutely zero remorse on his face.
“You little brat!” Seraphina snarled, her voice dripping with venom. “You nearly drowned me earlier, and here you are provoking me again. Do you have a death wish?”
She lunged at him, her wet shoes squelching against the grass, fury driving every step. But before she could even get close, Adie raised his water gun and squirted her directly in the face. Water sprayed across her cheeks, splattering into her open mouth and making her splutter in rage. The boy stood there, one hand on his tiny hip, looking every bit like a general on the battlefield.
“You’re not our guest, and you’re not welcome here,” Adie declared with all the authority his five-year-old lungs could muster. “Please leave — or I’m going to spray you with toilet water instead.”
He said it so seriously, so matter-of-factly, that for a moment, even Seraphina was stunned. How dare this little monster threaten her? She, a young lady of the prestigious Seraphina family, being bullied by a child in diapers? Absolutely unacceptable.
“How dare you!” she shrieked, and she threw herself at him with the reckless abandon of someone who had completely lost control.
But Adie was quick. Too quick. He darted left, then right, weaving around her like a nimble little rabbit. Seraphina chased him, her arms flailing, her designer dress dripping with pond water and grass stains. She stumbled. She wobbled. And finally, her foot caught on an exposed root — or perhaps just her own clumsy rage, and she crashed face-first into the ground with a thud that knocked the breath right out of her.
She lifted her head slowly, spitting out a mouthful of grass and soil, her face a mask of pure, unadulterated humiliation. Her hair was a tangled mess. Her clothes clung to her like wet rags. And her pride? Crushed as thoroughly as the dirt beneath her fingernails.
Through it all, Renee sat elegantly sipping her coffee, observing the scene with a gentle, amused smile. She set her cup down and called out to her son, her voice kind but firm.
“Show some mercy, Adie. After all, she’s a woman.”
Adie pouted, turning to his mother with dramatic complaint written all over his little face. “I’ve been trying to make it easy for her, Mommy, but this crazy woman wants to mess with me... Plus, she’s not a woman — she’s a wicked villain! She nearly pushed me into the pond the other day!”
Those words struck Renee like a bolt of lightning. The calm and easy-going expression on her face immediately twisted into one of alarm and anger. She sat up straight, her coffee ignored now. The warmth drained from her voice as she turned toward Seraphina.
“What? She pushed you into the pond?”
Renee’s gaze sharpened, her eyes narrowing. “Is my son telling the truth? Are you so crazy that you’d harm a child?”
She knew Seraphina was arrogant and domineering, a spoiled heiress who used her family name as a shield for all her ruthlessness. But no matter how much this woman hated Renee, harming children was unacceptable. That was a line that should never be crossed.
Seraphina finally managed to crawl up from the ground. She looked like a drowned cat, her clothes drenched, her hair a wild rat’s nest, her mouth still gritty with soil. She was so utterly mortified that tears threatened to spill from her eyes — tears of frustration, not sorrow. She felt wronged. She felt furious. And she had nowhere to direct that torment except at the boy who had caused it.
She thrust a trembling finger at Adie and screamed, “I did try to push him into the pond, but he’s no kid... He’s a demon!”
“I’m going to spray you with water again if you’re rude!” Adie raised his water gun menacingly, his voice carrying a playful yet threatening edge.
“No!” Seraphina ducked, covering her head with both hands as if warding off a monster. It was almost comical — this grown woman cowering from a child with a water gun.
“That’s enough, Adie.” Renee placed a gentle hand on her son’s shoulder, stopping his assault. Then, slowly, deliberately, Renee rose to her feet. She made her way across the lawn, each step measured and calm, like a queen approaching a troublesome subject.
She stopped in front of Seraphina, looking down at the trembling, messy woman before her. Her voice, when she finally spoke, was like velvet wrapped around steel.
“I won’t let you off the hook since you tried to push my son into the pond.”
Seraphina, despite her deplorable state, mustered up as much arrogance as she could. She scoffed, bitter and defiant. “Is that so? What do you want to do then? You don’t have any money or power to fight my family. You —”
She never finished that sentence. Because Renee’s hand moved impossibly fast, and the sound of a hard, sharp slap cut through the air like a crack of thunder.
Seraphina’s head snapped to the side. Her cheek burned. For a moment, she was too shocked to even react. Her eyes went wide, gaping at the woman before her in utter disbelief.
“You... You... How dare you slap me —”
And before she could recover, Renee slapped her again. Same cheek. Same devastating force.
Renee’s voice was calm, but terrifyingly cold. “Say sorry to my son. Or I’ll keep on slapping you until you do.”
Seraphina’s entire world tilted. This couldn’t be happening. Renee, a woman she looked down on, physically reprimanding her? Seething, Seraphina spat back, her dignity crumbling, her pride screaming, “How dare you! My family will never let you go. I —”
Smack!
Another slap. Harder this time.
“Renee, I’ll fight you —”
The words hung in the air, broken and breathless.
But the rage in Seraphina’s eyes was matched only by the cold, unyielding fury in Renee’s. And it was clear that this mother was not going to back down until justice — no, until a full apology — was delivered to her precious son.
This was no longer just a petty feud over a man or a misunderstanding. Seraphina had set her foot on a path of no return. And Renee, standing over her with her palm raised and fire in her heart, was ready to do whatever it took to protect her child.

Reader's Impressions & Star Rating: Wow. What a satisfying, heart-pounding chapter! Renee’s transformation from calm coffee-sipping observer to fierce mama bear was absolutely electrifying. The scene with Adie turning the tables on that pathetic Seraphina was both hilarious and empowering — he might be little, but that boy has an iron will. Seraphina’s humiliation is so thoroughly earned, yet you can tell her vindictiveness is far from over. The slaps?! I actually gasped. Renee is no longer the quiet, undervalued ex-wife — she’s a force of nature, and that battle cry of a mother is something to cheer about. But it also makes me worry about the inevitable retaliation coming from Seraphina’s wealthy family.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars.
Next Chapter Prediction: Given Seraphina's pride and the fact that she was physically struck multiple times in front of witnesses, I predict that she will run straight back to her family, painting a heavily exaggerated version of events to set their fury ablaze. Meanwhile, Renee knows this is just the beginning of the storm. We may soon see the Seraphina family issuing threats, or perhaps even involving Stefan in this mess — which could force Renee to confront not only her enemies but also the complicated tangle of feelings she still shares with the man caught between them. One thing's for sure: that slap will echo through many chapters to come.
