“Mrs Miller, by making this revelation today, are you not afraid someone will come looking for revenge?”
Faced with the reporter’s question, Bertha sneered as she wiped her tears and replied, “The fact that I am standing here in front of you today means that I was already prepared for the family to fall apart. I want my daughter to stand tall and proud. From now on, no matter if she’s walking on the runway or acting in a film, she can hold her head high knowing her mother has never done anything shameless.”
“Revenge? As long as my daughter leads a good life, I’m not afraid of revenge.”
“So, thank you everyone for attending today.”
After hearing her response, the reporters broke out in discussions.
“The internal battle in the Miller Family must be so bad that Emma’s situation has forced Mrs Miller to speak up.”
“When Emma fell, I thought it had something to do with competition within the industry. But, if it was actually done by someone in the Miller Family, I can understand why Mrs Miller decided to step out and protect her daughter. After all, this incident could have taken her life.”
“That’s right! In fact, this Mrs Miller has been much too generous and forgiving. If it was me, I could never endure so much for the sake of someone else’s children, let alone push my own daughter away.”
“Regardless, the truth has now been revealed and everyone knows Emma is the truly legitimate child. It seems, Mrs Miller will need to be cautious of revenge from both the Miller and Liang family now.”
Revenge…
She wasn’t afraid of revenge.
In this lifetime, Floyd betrayed her once and she betrayed him back, so weren’t they even?
“Bertha, I never knew you had it so tough,” her friend sighed as she patted her on the shoulder, “It’s good that you’ve revealed everything. I’m sure Emma will understand…”
After revealing everything, Bertha felt like her heart had been torn out of her ch*st. She didn’t know how she ended up leaving the stage, she simply saw Floyd appear at the doorway of the hall. But…as soon as their eyes meet, she looked away.
She didn’t want the Miller Family no more, she just wanted her daughter…
The two women quickly left the hall and headed to their room with the assistance of security. However, as soon as the door closed, Bertha emotionally collapsed.
“Keeping this secret for so many years has really been tough on you,” her friend comforted as she wr*pped her arms around her and gently patted her on back. “Since you’ve already made your decision, you should continue moving forward bravely. Things aren’t so bad, you still have your daughter and your son-in-law.”
“Let me go wash my face…” Bertha pulled away from her friend’s embrace and stumbled into the bathroom. Even though her friend was worried, she knew she had to give her some personal space and time to recover.
However, 10 minutes passed, but the bathroom door remained closed…
Her friend hesitated for a moment before she decided to get up and check on the situation. But suddenly, a succession of frantic knocks echoed through the room, followed by Emma’s voice…
“Auntie Ximenez, open the door…”
Jessanna was in shock as she ran straight to the door and opened it.
In the doorway stood Eric and Emma. They were both so tall that people couldn’t help but look up at them.
“Your mother’s been in the bathroom for a while. I am a little worried.”
Emma took a glance at the man behind her and Eric quickly responded by giving Luke a phone call. 2 minutes later, the hotel manager appeared with a room card and handed it to Emma.
Emma used the card to open the bathroom door and entered. As soon as she walked in, she saw Bertha sitting beside the bathtub. She almost broke down in tears if not for the man behind her giving her strength.
“Mom…” Emma called softly.
Hearing this, Bertha slowly glanced over. As soon as she saw Emma, tears rolled out of her eyes, “You’re finally willing to call me that.”
Emma slowly walked over to Bertha and knelt down in front of her. She then held her icy cold hands, “I’ve been a bad daughter.”
“No, you haven’t done anything wrong. You’ve remembered everything your mother has taught you.” Bertha took a deep breath. She had missed her daughter; she had wished to hear her call her ‘mom’ for a very long time.
“Then, let’s not speak of this again. What’s in the past is in the past. From now on, let’s live happily together.”
“No…I still need to help you get back what you deserve,” Bertha shook her head in refusal. Originally, she had already made a decision to do the worst thing she could, but if she was to disappear forever, who was to control the people from the Miller Family? “You are a legitimate child of the Miller Family, you don’t need to lower your head to anybody. Mom was too selfish in the past. As a result, you were put through so many years of pain.”
“Now, I’ve thought everything over clearly.”
“I no longer plan to avoid the Miller Family. In fact, I will take back everything that belongs to us.”
“You like to act, right? Continue doing what you’re doing. As long as you and Eric are happy, mom will be happy.” Bertha cupped her hands around Emma’s face and continued, “If Elodie wants to harm you, mom won’t allow it. So…I will become the head of the Miller Family home!”
“I was too weak in the past. From now on, I will protect you…”
In the midst of this moment, Emma felt like she had been punched in the heart.
Over the years, she had never been nice to her mother. Who would have thought that she had suffered so much.
“But…”
“This is your mother’s decision. As her daughter, you should respect it,” Eric pulled Emma into his arms and wr*pped her in his warm embrace, “She has her own wishes to fulfill…”
“Eric’s right,” Bertha wiped away her tears and stood up. She then took a couple steps towards Emma and Eric and declared, “From now on, you not only have your husband. You also have mom.”
Emma’s tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes as she wr*pped her arms around her mother. As for Eric, he found himself wr*pping his long arms around the two women.
“That’s enough. How old are you? If the media catches you crying like this, your image will be destroyed…after that, no matter how good your films are, no one will watch it,” Bertha t**sed.
“Emma, mom feels safe leaving you in the hands of Eric, but there is one important thing I haven’t done yet.” As she spoke these words, her eyes looked confident and firm.
She had finally understood something.
To truly protect Emma and allow her to do what she enjoyed, she had no choice but to fight for power within the family.
Elodie: the true daughter of a mistress. It was time for her to step down from the position of Acting President!
“Elder Miller just called. He asked you all to return to the Miller Family home,” Jessanna said to the trio as she stepped into the doorway of the bathroom.
“No, we won’t go to them,” Bertha refused, “I’ve already done so much for them over the years. It’s time for them to come to me.”
Jessanna looked at her friend and realized, once a woman’s heart was hardened, it could be strong enough to destroy the earth.
In the past, this could be witnessed via Emma. Now, Bertha was the same.
Of course, pulling oneself up from a painful abyss was difficult, but bravely moving forward was the only way to break through to a new life of freedom.
