Chapter 949
Haley had Barbara's back last night, so today, Barbara felt she had to clear things up for Haley.
It wasn't until Bethany showed up with bodyguards that the reporters finally scattered.
"Idiot!" Bethany stormed into the hospital room and slapped Marcus hard. "Do you even realize the mess you've made?"
"Grandpa, my ribs are broken, and you come here to slap me? Am I still your grandson?" Marcus snapped. "The Miller Family won't defend me. Can't I find my own way to get back at them?"
"This is your brilliant plan? You've nearly bankrupted the entire Miller Group!" Bethany slapped him again. "You need to give an interview and publicly apologize, saying you provoked Mrs. Winston first, which is why Ivan beat you up!"
"The cameras caught everything. Lying and apologizing won't change a thing!" Marcus gritted his teeth.
"The cameras on that street were conveniently broken last night, so they didn't catch anything," Bethany said, taking a deep breath. "Apologize. Don't mess with the Winston Family anymore. We can't afford it."
Marcus was fuming, but under Bethany's glare, he had no choice but to agree.
Just then, a bodyguard rushed in. "Mrs. Barbara Miller is giving an interview to the reporters at the hospital entrance."
Bethany's eyes narrowed. "What's she doing here?"
"That witch Barbara wouldn't dare talk trash!" Marcus sneered. "I've had mistresses for years, and she never made a fuss because she wanted to stay my wife. Now that I've broken up with my mistress, she'll definitely speak well of me to win my favor. Besides, she and Haley don't get along."
Bethany's face darkened. "Stop her from giving that interview immediately!"
If this got any worse, the Miller Family and the Winston Family would be at each other's throats.
The Winston Group now held over twenty percent of the Miller Group's shares. With a little push, the Miller Group could go under.
"Mr. Bethany Miller, it seems Mrs. Barbara Miller isn't speaking on behalf of the Miller Family." The bodyguard handed over a live video feed.
On the screen, Barbara's face was enlarged, and she was crying. "I am a descendant of the Martinez Family and the wife of Marcus from the Miller Family. Many people envy me, but they don't know what kind of life I lead."
She added, "Ever since I married Marcus, my life has been filled with pain. The year I got pregnant, I discovered his first betrayal. Because I was carrying the Miller Family's child, he restrained himself a bit. But after the child was born, he had no more scruples. He often brought his mistresses to the Miller Villa, and his parents never once stopped him."
"I never told anyone and endured it all alone. Some might ask why I didn't get a divorce. When you become a mother, you'll understand how difficult it is to divorce when you have a child. Everyone wants their child to grow up in a complete family." Barbara made her encounter clear.
She was determined, saying, "For the sake of my child, I endured it day after day. But today, I can't endure it anymore!"
Barbara wiped her tears away, her eyes becoming resolute. "What happened last night finally made me realize that I should decisively divorce him and leave with my child for the sake of my child!"
The reporters seized on the key point and asked, "Mrs. Barbara Miller, what exactly happened last night?"
"Last night, I was there," Barbara began slowly. "I heard the nearby surveillance cameras were broken, so let me recount the events.
I was driving to meet Haley when I saw Marcus strolling with his mistress. As Marcus's wife, I was instantly furious, so I rushed over without thinking. Look, the slap marks on my face are from Marcus."
