Overwhelmed by Winter's intensity, Mary could only open and close her mouth without uttering a word.
"I am not a mistress. Not once in my life have I done anything I couldn't be proud of. Yet you assaulted me, insulted me, and damaged my reputation here, Mary, all because of a misunderstanding caused by your precious son's inability to behave properly. It's also because you're hasty, rude, and blinded by the thought of profiting from your son. So now, cooperate willingly with the measures to restore my reputation."
Mary still couldn't gather her wits in the face of Winter's rapid-fire, coherent speech.
"You, what are you saying..."
"Mary, I formally request that you explain the details of this incident accurately and in full, exactly as it happened, in front of everyone at Seolbeop. I also ask that you officially apologize sincerely and promise to prevent any recurrence."
"Why, why should I do that?"
