Shelly's Smart Response

Mrs. Bacon was so angry that her body was trembling. She glared at Shelly, but under Shelly's assertiveness, she became far less imposing.

She said, "Shelly, what do we have to do to make you leave Benjamin? Tell me!"

Shelly also calmed herself down. "I told you, I won't leave him unless Benjamin tells me he wants to break up!"

"Shelly, how can you be so shameless?"

"You're the shameless one, not me. What right do you have to break Benjamin and me up? Just because you're his mother, you can limit his freedom? Why?" Shelly's aura was very intimidating.

Under such intense intimidation, Mrs. Bacon was much less arrogant. She glared at Shelly and did not say a word for a long time.

Shelly said, "If you want us to break up, tell Benjamin to come to me. As long as he says it, I will never pester him again."

"If Benjamin were willing to break up with you, do you think I would come looking for you?" Mrs. Bacon finally told the truth.
