Estelle dared to cause trouble for me in public, but she didn't dare to admit in front of everyone that she was Doran's birth mother.

With her current identity, she couldn't afford the consequence of damaging the Alwyn family's reputation.

But I forgot that there was a person who dared to.

"Mildred! How dare you! You, kneel!"

Cheryl walked out of the crowd, looked at Doran's wound with concern, and asked her maid to call the doctor over.

Then, she turned to look at me coldly.

I stood up and bowed slightly, saying, "I don't know what I did wrong, let alone why I should kneel."

Cheryl was strong-willed, but I refused to comply with her order in public.

This made her feel embarrassed and angry.

Cheryl snapped, "You harmed an innocent child, you malicious woman. Why can't I punish you and make you kneel? Besides, you've married into our family for so many years, but you still haven't got pregnant. I can directly let Armand divorce you if I want!"

Since I married into the Alwyn family, I had taken care of everything in the mansion perfectly all along.

When Cheryl was seriously ill, I tried to ask a highly skilled doctor to treat her five times.

But Cheryl didn't appreciate that. She even thought I was malicious and blamed me.

Ignoring the curious gazes around me, I straightened my back and said, "No."

"Good! Good! Very good! You don't even listen to my words now, huh? Kneel down! Now!"

Cheryl's chest heaved, and she was so angry. Estelle supported her, trying to let her calm down. "Madam Alwyn, don't get angry. It won't do any good for your health."

The guests all spoke up.

"Madam Alwyn asked you to kneel. You should listen to her," a man said to me.

"This is really an eye-opener for me. Mr. Alwyn's wife doesn't respect the elderly, and she even wants to harm a child," a woman remarked.

At this moment, I became the target of everyone's criticism.

Standing in the crowd, I felt so hurt in my heart.

Suddenly, Armand came to hold my hand and stood in front of me.

He instructed Cheryl's maid directly, "Madam Alwyn needs some rest. Send her back to her room."

Then, he turned to face the guests, apologizing, "My son was just bitten by mosquitoes. Sorry to make you misunderstand it."

With just a few words, Armand solved the problem and settled the commotion.

After the banquet, I made Estelle kneel in the courtyard and had a servant slap her.

Armand hurriedly came.
