Hearing my words, the bridesmaids froze.
Juliet squinted her eyes and stared at me.
"You just said you're Lamont's mother?"
I responded sternly, "Yes!"
I had thought that once I told the truth, they would realize their mistake.
But to my surprise, it seemed as if I had told the most ridiculous joke.
They all burst into laughter.
"With your dull brain, no wonder you have to sell your body to survive. You're even telling such an outrageous lie."
"He's the richest man. Do you even know how distinguished the richest man's mother is? How could a disgraceful cripple like you compare to her?"
"You look like you're in your thirties. How could you possibly have a son as old as Mr. Hayden? Do you think we're as stupid as you?"
Amid their laughter, Juliet yanked my hair, mocking me.
"I thought you were smart and cunning for being able to get my husband to take a picture with you. But you're actually as dumb as can be.
"Don't you know the person my husband cares about most is his mother? And you, the shameless mistress, are lying and claiming to be my mother-in-law? You'll get yourself killed!"
Then, Juliet's eyes flashed with malice as she ordered the bridesmaids.
