Ivy stood up. "My husband is scum, there's no doubt about that. But as for my daughter, I believe the allegations against her are false."

"SILENCE!" I roared, earning shocked gasps from the crowd. "All of you old hags are too damn noisy. I'd appreciate it if you shut the fuck up."

Gasps. More whispers.
