Marilyn felt much better after hearing that.
Of course, Marilyn knew she couldn't continue to be partial to Mavis, so she looked at her.
"Mavis, as a girl, if you don't know how to cherish your own identity and gender, then who will do so for you in the future? Don't make such mistakes again." Mavis wanted to say something more, but she only nodded dully under her mother's gaze.
"Yes, Grandma. I won't make such mistakes anymore." "Mm." The matter seemed to have cto an end. However, someone was still unwilling to let it go.
Jfelt bitter seeing her daughter silently suffering a great loss. She wanted to stand up for Mavis.
After Mavis admitted her mistake, Jspoke softly, "Mom, Mavis has admitted her mistakes, but she isn't the root of the problem, isn't it? It's Olivia. I heard she is jobless and has been lazing at hall day long. She even has to live off her parents. Although Olivia has a modern woman's mindset, she can't just sit at hand do nothing, can she? Mom, you have to lecture Olivia so that Karl and Brenda won't have to live such a hard life anymore." How righteous and considerate Janet's words were.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was obvious that Jwas trying to push Olivia into the fire pit. However, it wouldn't be easy for Jto make a fool of her in front of everyone.
Before Olivia could say anything, Karl cforward. He looked gentle, and he rarely got angry, but when Mavis slandered his daughter, he had already wanted to cforward. However, Brenda stopped him. "Let them solve it amongst themselves," Brenda said.
It wouldn't be too late if the elders couldn't sit still after the young ones had settled the matter.
Since Jcouldn't sit still anymore, Karl made his move.
He was frowning and looked unhappy.
"Janet, you said you heard these rumors. Then, can you tellwhere you heard it from? Who said them?" Jwas at a loss for words.
Why wasn't Karl playing by the rules? He actually asked where she heard it from? She heard it from other people, of course.
"Karl, I have nothing against you. It's just that there are many rumors and gossip. Even your brother knows about it. We all know that you dote on Olivia because she's your only daughter. But Karl, you can't spoil her." Despite what Jsaid, Karl insisted on asking, "Janet, just tellwho you heard it from. I want the name. I want to ask that person, how in the world has Olivia offended them? Why did they have to bad- mouth her like that?" Seeing her father's persistence, Olivia thought he was absolutely adorable! How had she never realized it? Jcouldn't bear Karl's questioning any longer, but Karl continued, "Janet, don't be afraid. You just have to tellwho that person is. I'll look for them, and I won't hold anything against you." Mavis couldn't help but jump out to help her mother, "Uncle Karl, since it's a rumor, then there's definitely a lot of people who are talking about it and not just one." "Huh, is that so?" Karl nodded blankly and then asked, "Mavis, why don't you telltheir names then? I'll go have a talk with them and find out who exactly they heard it from." Everybody was stunned.
They were speechless.
Why did this guy have to be so persistent? Brenda couldn't stand it any longer and whispered to Olivia, "If it goes on like this, I think your dad will drive your Auntie Jcrazy." Hearing that, Olivia could not help but smile and folded her hands in front of her chest. "Isn't that great? When they're driven mad, they won't find any trouble with el.p anymore. They've been too privileged over the years. It's about tthey have a taste of their own medicine." Brenda said, "No matter how, Whatever it is, this concerns the Jenkins family's honor. Though your dad and don't care about it, your grandma does. Besides, your dad is a filial son. Other than the problem of not having more children, he listens to her. So..." Brenda didn't finish her sentence, but Olivia understood her words. She nodded. "Don't worry, Mom. I definitely won't say so directly." Jcouldn't stand it any longer. Karl was too persistent, and his focus was completely off. He even misguided her.
Jthen simply said, "Karl, you don't have to care about who started this rumor mill. Rumors and gossips are everywhere, and it's hard forto pinpoint who started it. I brought this matter up with good intentions, and I hope you will take it seriously." Karl was puzzled.
"Take it seriously? Ollie is an excellent girl. Whatever you said is all made up. I know you have good intentions, Janet, but if this rumor is ruining my daughter's reputation, as a father, of course, I have to take it seriously." "Uncle Karl, if you say this is all made up, do you have any proof? Ollie still doesn't have a proper job until now. Uncle Karl, Auntie Brenda, you shouldn't spoil her too much." Olivia wanted to play along in the beginning, but when she saw Mavis talking, she felt exasperated.
She stepped forward and walked next to Karl.
"It's, in fact, just a rumor. Although I

"Grandma, although I don't earn much, as long as I can support myself and occasionally give my parents, smoney, it shows that I've done my part as a daughter, right?" "Mm," Marilyn replied in a deep voice. "Since we're on this topic, I want to know who is ruining a girl's reputation without first clarifying? It even sounds so real. Am I that hateful to people?" The crowd was once again silent.
"Auntie Janet." Olivia suddenly called her aunt, and Jsubconsciously responded to her call.
"Yeah?"
"Auntie Janet, can you tellwho told you all this? I'm pretty sure this person does not have not have@good heart, judging from what they made up. For the sake of the Jenkins family's reputation, I trust that you will recall who that person is." There was a faint smile on Olivia's face, but her eyes were sharp when they fell on Janet, pressuring her.
Like RICH For sreason, Jfelt fearful from the pressure and sharp gaze, despite standing a distance away from Olivia.
"Was Olivia possessed? How did she suddenly becso powerful? Was she always acting weak in the past?" Jwondered.
