Emma River turned to look at Michael Leaf and began to speak with a hint of self-mockery: "I never imagined you'd join forces with your sweet daughter to take me to court. Michael Leaf, after all these years with you, after everything I've done for you, this is the thanks I get. Why!"
Emma's tone rose as she spoke, growing increasingly intense. Her eyes were fixed on Michael Leaf, filled with hatred!
"If you hadn't harmed Ivy Frost, hadn't harmed Keira Leaf, hadn't done so many things to cross my red line, you would still be Lady Leaf now. I would have given you everything you deserved. Unfortunately, nobody else is to blame; you were just too greedy, heartless!"
