Standing high up, Emmy had a clear view of the two women's actions. She saw Martha stop in her tracks, suddenly turn her head, and cast a light glance at Shelly behind her. Then, she took a microphone from a hotel staff member who had hurried over. Holding the microphone, Martha instantly adopted a reprimanding tone.
'Shelly, you really shouldn't speak the way you just did. Look around you, out here in public, those few words of yours almost sparked public outrage.'
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall instantly realized the truth. So the woman who had just spouted nonsense over the broadcast, insulting Emmy as someone packaged through hype, was this Shelly, who looked covered in jewels!
Provoked by Martha, Shelly snatched the microphone, stubbornly and arrogantly stepping onto the stage stairs. Standing under the spotlight, she scanned the entire room with a condescending gaze and let out a cold laugh. 'I am Emmy's proper, legal mother-in-law. Could the words coming out of my mouth possibly be fake? Do you really think she's some once-in-a-century genius? If it weren't for my son strategizing for her behind the scenes, could a little greenhorn like her achieve what she has today?'
Beside her, Martha immediately put on an expression of utter astonishment, hiding her mouth behind her jade-boned fan and dragging out an 'Oh?'
Nina's mouth fired on all cylinders like a venomous machine gun. 'Furthermore, you actually have the nerve to keep calling him your son, your son? Are you getting old and suffering from dementia? Have you forgotten that you were kicked out of the Nelson family long ago! You are a discarded woman who can't even enter the Nelson family's doors, a woman who was publicly thrown out! Where do you get the face to stand here and call Mr. Nelson your son? Has Mr. Nelson even acknowledged a foul-mouthed mother like you? Do you not care about your dignity anymore? I feel embarrassed just for you! At your age, instead of staying home embroidering and reciting Buddhist scriptures, you run out here to make a fool of yourself. Do you really think the whole world is your mother and has to indulge your disgusting habits!'
Shelly was so angry her eyes almost rolled back. Her chest heaved violently as she pointed at Nina, stammering 'You, you, you' for a long time, but unable to squeeze out another word.
