As soon as I stood up to check, a foul-smelling liquid splashed towards me.
As soon as I dodged, all the dirty stuff was splashed on flowers.
Before I could argue, a woman kicked me to the ground, followed by a large group of people.
I gasped in pain and looked at her, and found that the person leading the group was actually Eric's first love, Lauren Phillips, whom he had broken up with many years ago.
She held the phone up to my face. "This is the mistress who seduced my husband. If you want me to beat her up, tell me!"
"Are you crazy? You came to the funeral to cause trouble? If you don't get out of here, I'm calling the police."
"You still have the nerve to yell in front of me. You killed Kelly. Today, not only will I make you apologize, but I will also make you give up the house you cheated from my husband."
I said, "I don't understand what you're saying. Today is my mother-in-law's funeral. I don't want to argue with you."
Thinking of Mary, I couldn't help but cry.
Eric and I had been married for five years. He was cold to me, but Mary treated me well.
Mary was afraid that Eric would squander the family fortune, so she gave most of the property to me.
Unexpectedly, this caused Lauren's jealousy. She deliberately slandered me on the day of the funeral.
"You bitch, you're still being stubborn. My husband organized this funeral for Kelly. He is sad. Humph, don't think my husband will still side with you. He said that he was just temporarily bewitched by you. I'm the only one he loves. This funeral is proof of that!"
The guests coming today were all invited by Eric, and some of them were mutual friends of Eric and Lauren.
I was not familiar with them.
Seeing Lauren being so arrogant, some people who didn't know the truth really thought I was a mistress.
"This woman is so shameless. She is so desperate. She said that the husband held a funeral for her mother-in-law. She even dared to welcome the guests."
"I hate shameless women like this the most. They will do anything for money without any bottom line."
Someone shouted at Lauren, "We all support you. You should teach these mistresses a lesson!"
Lauren became even more proud and came up to me and slapped me.
I couldn't stand it anymore and fought back. "I know you are Eric's first love, but you have been separated for many years. Now I am his legal wife. You have no right to lecture me here."
