Chapter 17 - Emily Tries To Intimidate Margaret With False Accusations
Refusing to accept defeat, Emily tried one final, desperate maneuver by visiting Margaret’s downtown corporate office building.
She bypassed the security desk by shouting hysterically until building management escorted her up to the executive suite foyer.
“Margaret! You can’t do this to your own family! You’re throwing your son and grandson out onto the street like stray dogs!” Emily shrieked.
Corporate security guards stepped forward, but Margaret walked out from her office doors and raised a hand to halt them.
“Keep your voice down, Emily. You are embarrassing yourself in front of my staff,” Margaret said with icy, unflinching authority.
“You’re a cold, heartless witch! You ruined our lives over a stupid little kid’s birthday party!” Emily accused, pointing a trembling finger.
“A child who slaps his elder, parents who laugh, and a daughter-in-law who dares me to strike him back,” Margaret corrected calmly.
“You reap what you sow, Emily. You taught your son that actions have no consequences, and now life is teaching him otherwise,” she added.

“We will never speak to you again! You’ll never see Liam for the rest of your life!” Emily screamed as security finally grabbed her arms.
“That was already my choice, Emily. Have a pleasant moving day,” Margaret said, turning her back and walking back into her office.
