"You three have lost all your moral integrity, committed all sorts of evil, and truly don’t deserve to be called human. I’ve waited far too long for this day. In your quest for power and profit, you’ve stooped to every conceivable low, but don’t you forget, you never had the right to control the Shi Family in the first place. There was the eldest sister before, and now the Lady of the House!" The butler said loyally and unequivocally, then turned to look at the Mistress of the Shi Family, adding, "My lady, I leave this to you."
The Mistress nodded, then her eyes widened as she watched several mbers of the Shi Family being led away by the police.
Seeing the guests whispering among themselves, the Mistress resolutely walked to the podium and said to all the guests, "I apologize for exposing you to such an unsightly scene."
"As you can see, the Shi Family has never been in a worse state."
"Ever since my daughter was alive, I was but a mother who did nothing all day long, every day thinking about fighting for inheritance and preserving status. But after Shi Lan left, I realized just how rotten the foundation of the Shi Family was—because the very foundation of the family was corrupt."
"After surviving an ordeal akin to passing through the Ghost Gate, I am more sober than ever and more grateful than at any other ti. Everything that has happened to the Shi Family has made realize just how much hardship my daughter endured when she managed the family. Now, I can’t let her hard work be destroyed in an instant, so I must step forward."
"Today I have shown everyone the disgrace of the Shi Family, its obsolescence. I have no illusions that after this, you will continue to extend your hand to help the Shi Family as you did before. However, I will do my utmost to get the Shi Family back on track."
"I’m sorry that the earlier incident has dampened your spirits, but please, take a short break. The banquet will continue."
After speaking, the Mistress bowed three tis to the guests.
"I also want to thank the long-standing shareholders for the help you’ve given tonight, which I will never forget. Tomorrow, I will make a fresh start, reorganizing the entire Shi enterprise. I hope those employees who followed Shi Hongyu and Shi Yihui, harboring ill intentions, will reflect on their actions tonight because tomorrow, I will co to the company, and we will have a thorough reckoning."
"Finally, I am no longer the sa Lady of the Shi Family I once was. Through my actions, I will show you just how ruthless a woman can be when she awakens."
With that, the Mistress bowed three more tis to the guests, then left the stage.
First, she approached Shi Guangxuan and said to him, "Even though you are not a Shi by blood, the old man treated you as his grandson and raised you for many years. If you are still willing to stay with the Shi Family, my treatnt towards you will remain as before, but you must think it over carefully because your foster parents have been imprisoned because of ."
"I’m sorry... I need to think about it," Shi Guangxuan said.
"Then take your ti thinking."
After all, things had happened too suddenly, and it was difficult for him to react on the spot.
There were also several children of Shi Yihui that needed to be dealt with, but they were mostly not in the country.
Afterward, the Mistress mingled among the guests, first heading to Yan Shixiu and Shi Lan, taking a glass of champagne from a waiter’s tray, and toasting the two, "I understand now."
"Understand what?" Shi Lan asked.
"I understand what I want for the rest of my life and wish that you get what you want as well."
The Mistress clearly guessed sothing, and despite her disbelief, there were too many things that were inexplicable and beyond her capacity for doubt.
