Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1446

Martha, who had been watching the drama unfold from the side, also methodically stepped onto the stage. She first sized up Nina, then cast a somewhat disgusted glance at Shelly, whose face was flushed red from being choked up. This Shelly really was as useless as ever. Such a perfect opportunity to sow discord was handed to her, yet she let a little girl insult her so much in a few sentences that she couldn't even formulate a comeback. But it didn't matter, half of her objective had already been achieved. Martha slowly lowered the jade-boned fan from her face, a smile appearing on her lips.

'Oh my, look at the fuss this has caused. This is truly a massive misunderstanding.' She took two steps toward Laney, who was clearly the core figure of this gathering, her tone incredibly gentle. 'Speaking of which, I am actually a fan of Emmy's too. It's just that I live a secluded life all year round, so I didn't know her fan base had developed into such a massive group. Just now, a few of us old sisters were dining upstairs. Hearing that Emmy's fan gathering happened to be downstairs, I got curious and couldn't resist coming down to join the fun. Shelly insisted on coming down with me. My heart softened for a moment, and I brought her along. Who knew she would open her mouth and slander Ms. Lincoln so recklessly? Rest assured, since I was the one who brought her down, I will definitely give her a good talking-to privately.'

In just a few sentences, Martha completely absolved herself of any blame while smoothly establishing a persona as a reasonable person. After finishing, she turned her head, looking at Shelly with stern eyes. 'Shelly, you truly were in the wrong here. Hurry up and apologize to everyone.'

Hearing this, Shelly's flushed face instantly turned pale. She stared at Martha in disbelief. Only at this moment did Shelly finally realize that she had been used as a pawn again! No wonder Martha, who usually never included her in high-society gatherings, suddenly and uncharacteristically invited her today. No wonder all the way downstairs, Martha kept bringing up Emmy in her ear, confidently assuring her she would stand by her side. This led her to instantly lose her head to jealousy and anger the moment she stepped out of the elevator and saw this entire hall of people fanatically worshipping Emmy. She couldn't wait to tear off Emmy's mask and let these people see what kind of trash their worshipped god really was. Who knew that in the end, she would be the one playing the villain. And this old fox, Martha, effortlessly played the good guy, taking all the credit for herself!

Seeing Shelly glaring at her without a word, Martha's expression turned entirely cold, warning her with an even icier tone. 'Hurry up and apologize! Do you want Trenton to lock you up in confinement again?'

Upon hearing the word 'confinement', a deep fear flashed in Shelly's eyes. That kind of dark confinement, cut off from all outside contact, was no different from going to prison for her! Shelly ground her back teeth, humiliation making her entire body tremble as she unwillingly squeezed two words through her teeth. 'I'm sorry.'

Standing next to Laney, Nina immediately dug at her ear, mercilessly shouting. 'Oh, I can't hear what you're saying at all!'
