Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) -
Chapter 1290
After that, Olivia put on a helpless expression and shook her head. She then said, "I don't know what you want me to clarify. I'm a little dense. Do you mind just saying it?" The more Olivia acted innocent, and the more she said she didn't know anything, the more enraged Mavis was.
Eason could not help but lower his eyes and snicker when he saw how Olivia dealt with Mavis.
It seemed like she was trying to goad her.
The angrier Mavis was, the calmer Olivia was. That way, Mavis would embarrass herself in front of everyone. Although it was despicable, Eason found it exciting for some reason. After all, Mavis was the one who caused trouble all the time.
"Stop pretending, Olivia. You obviously heard what I said just now, and you want me to say it again. Don't you feel ashamed? How can you live off Uncle Karl and Auntie Brenda when you are almost 30. You're not a child anymore."
The guests compared them as they listened to their conversation.
Olivia was calm and composed while Mavis was shouting and yelling. It was obvious who was the bigger person.
Janet was observing the crowd's reaction the entire time. When she found everyone looking at her daughter with disdain, she secretly tugged on Mavis's arm as the situation had gone south. "Mavis, that's enough. Why are you making a fuss on such an occasion?"
Mavis retracted her hand. "Mom, I just want to seek justice for Uncle Karl and Auntie Brenda. They only have a daughter as their child. I can't stand by and watch Olivia continue to waste her life away." Olivia's mouth was twitching because Mavis actually said she was almost 30.
Please, she was in her early twenties. What did she mean by nearly 30?
With that thought, Olivia sneered and said, "Mavis, we are of the same age. You may think you are nearly 30, but I don't. But if you want to seek justice for my parents so badly, then let's have a chat. Judging from your tone, it looks like you have a bone to pick about my parents only giving birth to a daughter?"
At that, Mavis had an arrogant look. "Of course. Everyone knows three things make one unfilial.
One of them is not having a son. You're the only daughter in your family, yet you're a disappointment." "Oh, then you're saying a woman is not as good as a man?"
Mavis had an older brother, so she spoke confidently. "I only know I have an older brother, but you don't."
"Ha," Olivia sneered. "Mavis, you are a girl, but you are not proud of being one. Instead, you are proud of men. How do you see all the women here? How do you see Grandma?" Olivia related the problem to Marilyn.
She clearly knew although Marilyn was dissatisfied with her family, she had never definitively said it was unfilial to not give birth to a son. However, Mavis pointed it out directly. Olivia used Mavis's words against her.
Sure enough, when Mavis was asked how she looked at her grandmother, she became flustered and subconsciously looked at Marilyn.
Marilyn, being brought into the issue by Olivia, looked at Mavis with displeasure in her eyes.
Mavis panicked and quickly explained, "Grandma, I don't mean that. You gave birth to three outstanding children, so you must be outstanding too."
Marilyn was persuaded, but the guests were now unhappy.
"Mavis, what are you talking about? Is it wrong that we don't have a son? Not only are you a girl, but you're also born in the modern generation. How can your mindset be so old-fashioned?" "Humph, how can your mindset be so horrifying? Does that mean you'll feel ashamed if you can bear a son after you marry?"
"Honestly, how does Janet teach her daughter? Not only has she messed things up on such an occasion, but she even insulted her cousin in front of everyone and belittled women." "How can a person do this?"
The voices were getting louder and louder. All of them were dissatisfied with Mavis.
Mavis panicked. She wanted to explain but didn't know how to. The more she said something, the more everyone refuted it. In the end, she screamed and pointed at Olivia.
"It's her! She tricked me. Olivia, you tricked me into saying all that deliberately. You want everyone to criticize and slander me."
Olivia acted surprised. "Mavis, how
can you say tricked you? If you don't think fike that, I can't force you to say it." "Such a young lady, yet she is so vicious to her cousin!" "Maybe she's jealous? Olivia is beautiful, so she's upset. Look at her face, her nose has gone under the knife, and her chin..."
"I see. But honestly speaking, Olivia sure is goodlooking. She inherited her mother's beauty."
A woman's mouth sure was vicious, especially when it came to mocking someone. If they were to criticize a woman, they would know where it hurt the most.
Therefore, everyone kept comparing her looks with Olivia. Tears immediately rolled down Mavis's cheeks, being criticized so openly. She ran toward Marilyn and cried, "Grandma..." Marilyn doted on her after all, and she disliked Olivia.
Marilyn couldn't help but frown
seeing Mavis cry so badly. She said
in a deep voice, "Olivia, Mavis is your
cousin no matter what. You shouldn't direct everyone to criticize Mavis; she's just a girl."
Marilyn's words made Olivia speechless.
They were cousins? When Mavis was doing the same to her, why didn't Marilyn think they were cousins?
Also, was Mavis the only girl? Was she considered a boy then?
Of course, Olivia didn't dare to say them out loud to Marilyn's face.
She just smiled faintly and spoke with a gentler tone.
"Grandma, you misunderstood me. I didn't direct everyone to criticize Mavis. It's just that as a girl herself, she looked down on her own gender. Being a girl myself, I'd be angry about it too." Marilyn's face darkened. "So you're saying I'm partial to her?"
"No, no." Olivia shook her head and said, "Grandma, you are the most fair-minded person in the world. Everyone knows that, don't they?"
The crowd fell silent.
Bullsh*t.
However, they were willing not to embarrass Marilyn.
"That's right. Madam Marilyn, you are the most fair-minded person in the world. You would never be partial."
"Yes, Mavis did cross the line little
just now, but we won't dwell on it
since she's still young. We got impulsive since we're angry just now please don't take whatever we said to heart, Madam Marilyn"
