Bertha glanced at her friend. After receiving her support, she took a deep breath and faced the media. She started off with a bow, “Hello, friends of the media.”

“I am Bertha, the daughter-in-law of the chairman of Miller Corp. If you are still unfamiliar with who I am, let me introduce to you my other identity: I am the mother of Emma. Today, I stand before you because I have something I want to say.”

“It seems the rumors are true. The Miller Family really does have big news to reveal…”

“If she is the daughter-in-law, then that must mean she is the rumored mistress.”

“Wasn’t it revealed previously that Emma’s mother is a mistress?”

The reporters below the stage were deep in discussion because the secret that was about to be revealed had sparked their interests. After all, Emma was involved.

Emma had gone from being a model to an actress and every step took place in front of the media. Even today, she was still the center of attention even though her mother was the one that was standing in front of everyone.

“I’ve been called a mistress for many years now, so over time I’ve already gotten used to this nickname. I’ve always felt that keeping a secret for the sake of a loved one is worth it because everyone has their own story. But, I’ve recently realized, by accepting this fate, I’ve brought a whole world of pain to my daughter.”

“She debuted at 17-years-old and has never asked the Miller Family for a cent. As a result, she went through many struggles to get to where she is today. But recently, because of me, she has had to feel shame; I feel extremely sorry towards her,” Bertha said in seriousness as she tried her best to magnify her voice so everyone could hear it.

“In that case Mrs Miller, are you here to make an apology?” one of the female reporters immediately asked.

“No, I’m not here to apologize…”

“I’m here to clarify something.”

“Because if I don’t speak up now, there is no guarantee that my daughter won’t continue to be schemed against.”

As soon as these words left her mouth, the media were in shock.

It was too obvious what she was referring to; it seemed, she knew who the culprit behind Emma’s recent accident was.

“It sounds like you know who planned the accident on the set of ‘Hidden Expert’.”

“Oh my God…”

“I know who it is, but I have no evidence. So, the only other thing I can do is stand before you all today and tell you I am no mistress…” As Bertha spoke, her voice trembled. “Today, I will be revealing the entire truth.”

“My husband’s first wife was not the heiress of Northern Horizon Enterprise, Faith Livingston. His first wife was…” At this moment, Bertha was interrupted by her friend. She had received a phone call from Elder Miller.

“Do you want to pick it up?”

Bertha looked at the media and back at her friend. In order to prevent herself from backing out, she stood firmly on the stage. Just before she picked up the phone, she said to the media, “Please wait two minutes while I take an important phone call.”

She then picked up the phone and greeted Elder Miller.

“Bertha, I heard about the p**ss conference you are holding.”

“Father, sorry…but Elodie has hurt Emma too badly this time. I can no longer tolerate it. I must let Emma know that the three siblings are the actual children of a mistress. Emma and I have endured too much, I don’t want to endure anymore…”

“I won’t blame you. If you want to reveal it, then go ahead, I also want to hear about it,” Elder Miller replied in a low voice. “I simply hope that you won’t say it in a way where it would hurt the other two innocent children.”

“If not for them two, I would have announced it long ago.” After speaking, Bertha hung up the phone and handed it back to her friend. She then continued what she was doing, “Sorry everyone, let’s continue.”

To help the reporters better understand the situation, Bertha gave a brief update on the status of the Miller Family. The Miller Family had always kept their secrets tightly under wr*ps, so the media had no interest in them until recently when Emma was revealed as the child of a mistress.

“How do you plan to prove your innocence, today?”

“I can’t believe a mistress won’t admit to being a mistress!”

“Faith Livingston isn’t even around anymore. No matter what you say, you can’t verify it!”

The reporters bombarded her with doubt.

These words were perhaps the same thoughts that were running through Elodie’s mind. She definitely thought Bertha was shameless. How dare she talk so loudly in front of the media without feeling embarrassed.

“Who said there’s no way to verify it?” Bertha pulled out an old marriage certificate, a family photo and a few small items from her bag. She then showed each one to the media, “This here, clearly shows the time and date that I got married to Floyd. And here, this shows when he married Faith Livingston. As you can see, I married Floyd 6 years prior to her.”

“I also want to reveal that Elodie is not the eldest grandchild of the Miller Family. In fact, I also had a son: Emma’s older brother, who unfortunately passed away from Pneumonia at the age of two.”

“All of you must be curious how and why Floyd married two women, right?”

“It was because, at the time that we first met, my grandfather started him off as an entry-level staff for training. When we first met, I had no idea of his true identity. We ended up getting married on impulse without notifying our parents.”

“However, my life turned into a nightmare after my son died. I was suffering from so much grief that I was often ill. During this time, Floyd secretly met with Faith Livingston and had two children with her. He then intended on getting a divorce with me, but then, I suddenly fell pregnant with Emma.”

“After giving birth to Emma, I discovered he had been having an affair. So, that was when we officially filed for a divorce.” After speaking, Bertha pulled out some divorce papers. Again, the date and time were clearly marked.

“A while after our divorce, Faith Livingston ended up passing away while giving birth to her third child. At this time, Floyd suggested for Emma to reunite with her family. So, for the sake of my daughter, we ended up moving into the Miller Family home.”

“However, it was only afterwards that I discovered…I had suddenly become known as a mistress…”

“It turned out, while Floyd was maintaining a marriage with me and pretending to be a poor entry-level worker, he had held a fancy wedding with Faith Livingston using his wealthy identity. And it was only after we got divorced that they officially got registered.”

“This is the reason why Elodie is 29-years-old, but her parents haven’t even been married for 25 years.”

“Floyd begged me not to reveal the truth because he didn’t want his other three children to realize their father was a jerk. So, to prevent them from getting hurt, I ended up enduring all the misunderstanding.”

“I thought, as husband and wife, it was best to cherish what we had. Everyone makes mistakes at some point in their lives, but no matter how big a mistake he made, it was already in the past. But, only now do I realize I can’t ignore the pain my daughter has suffered…”

“She is a legitimate child!”

“Emma did not marry Eric as a mistress’ daughter!”

At this moment in time, faced with the dirty reporters and the black hole of cameras, Bertha laid her 20 plus years of secrets on the table.

She was no longer afraid of being embarrassed.

bet**en her daughter and husband, she had already chosen the wrong side for too many years. Now was the time to put everything back in order.

“I hope the media can stop insulting my daughter by calling her the daughter of a mistress. I, Bertha, am the legitimate wife of Floyd, and my daughter Emma is his legitimate child.”

“If you are still doubtful, I can lend you the evidence…none of this can be forged.”

“I would also like to make a vow. From now on, I won’t let anyone hurt my daughter again.”

The media snapped frantically at the stage with their cameras; they wanted to capture every little detail of Bertha’s facial exp**ssions.

Who would have thought, the Miller Family had such a scandal.

And who would have thought, this was the true story behind Emma’s birth…

As for Bertha, no one expected she’d finally reveal all her husband’s wrongdoings for the sake of her daughter…
