As soon as she entered my office, she started shouting: "Samantha, come out here. You home-wrecker, you're truly despicable. You evil creature, you'll come to no good end!"
Her voice was extremely piercing, ensuring the whole company could hear. I took out my phone, called Charles, and put it on speaker in my pocket.
This matter had to be handled by her own son-in-law. With such despicable tactics, no wonder her daughter was so unruly.
Emily's mother was quite the performer. As soon as she saw me, she started her act.
"Well well, Samantha. You're just jealous that our Emily is prettier than you, more beautiful than you, and found a better husband than you. You just can't stand seeing others better off than you, so you destroy their marriage. Where's your boss? Call your boss out here, a slut like you should be fired."
Her mouth kept saying I was jealous her daughter's husband was better than mine, but the reality was her daughter had slept in my husband's bed.
She was even dramatically slapping her thighs and making a scene. I was truly disgusted. To think this was Emily's mother, I'd certainly learned something new today.
I glanced at my phone, Charles had already hung up.
I turned on the camera function, then called out to my colleagues.
"I'm so sorry everyone, I've encountered a scammer here. Please help me out and be my witnesses. In case this lady suddenly feels unwell later, I didn't touch her."
Emily's mother was stunned to see me not following her script at all.
But years of practice hadn't been for nothing.
"Yes, everyone come and see. This is the person right here. Oh heavens, she's ruining my daughter's perfectly good marriage for no reason!"
Very good, auntie. You've successfully provoked me.
"Auntie, you speak so well. Why don't you also tell everyone how I ruined your son-in-law's desire for your daughter? Is it because I told your son-in-law about your daughter's affair?"
Emily's mother let out a shrill scream: "No, that's not true. You're just making false accusations. Destroying other people's families, you should just die!"
She tried to hit me. I secretly rolled up my sleeves, ready to teach her a lesson for the public good.
But a tall figure stepped in front of me, shielding me.
Charles had arrived so quickly. He nodded at me, then turned to face Emily's mother angrily: "Have you had enough?"
Emily's mother slapped her thighs and wailed: "I can't go on living, there's no justice in this world, you're driving me to my death! Where's the boss? Come out and do something!"
I peeked out from behind Charles. Emily's mother immediately tried to grab me.
Charles restrained the old lady with both hands, holding her in place as he said sternly: "If you keep making a scene, I'll make sure your daughter leaves with nothing in the divorce, and I'll fire your son from my company."
Well well, Charles was really impressing me.
These words made the old lady calm down a bit.
But Emily's mother clearly hadn't achieved her goal and didn't want to give up so easily.
After freezing for a few seconds, she started struggling violently again, flailing about.
Watching this scene, I truly felt a bit sorry for Charles. No wonder he could endure such a mother-in-law for five or six years.
"Alright alright, don't let auntie leave. I have some bedroom photos of Emily and my husband on my phone, they look great. Auntie can take a look before she goes. My colleagues are all here too, auntie can show everyone if she wants."
With that, I simply stepped out from behind Charles.
Emily's mother, hearing what I said, ran away faster than a rabbit.
Looks like her daughter only told her about the divorce, not about being caught in bed.
Charles watched his dear mother-in-law disappear, apologized to me, and said he would keep his family in check.
However, his family clearly didn't want to settle down.
