As Juliet spoke, she glanced at the necklace in my hand and snatched it, throwing it to the ground and stomping on it.
"How dare you buy jewelry with my husband's money? You're nothing but a disgrace. Do you deserve it?"
Seeing the photo of me with Lamont, I suddenly understood.
Juliet had mistaken me, his mother, for the mistress trying to seduce her husband!
I tried to explain hurriedly, "I'm not a mistress. I'm Lamont's…"
Smack!
Before I could finish, Juliet slapped me again.
"Lamont? How dare you call his name so intimately in front of me and still claim you're not a mistress?
"A cripple like you thinks you're worthy of my man?"
Several bridesmaids chimed in.
"I bet this cripple's leg got broken when she was caught seducing another woman's husband."
"A woman as shameless as her has probably been beaten a lot."
"Since she has no shame, let's strip her naked today and give her some real fame!"
The bridesmaids were all indignant, eager to tear me apart.
Juliet seemed very pleased with their suggestion and kicked me to the ground.
She said coldly, "Strip her!"
The bridesmaids immediately surrounded me, violently tearing at my clothes.
Struggling, I shouted, "Stop! I'm Lamont's mother!"
