Hilda can't bear this, and she speaks to Kenny in a heavy voice with the tone of an elder. "Ethel is your girlfriend. She just cares about you. You can't blame on her."
Kenny sneers, and looks at Ethel in disdain. "My girlfriend?"
"When did I say you were my girlfriend? Did I touch you or sleep with you?"
"No... you, you didn't. I just..." Ethel doesn't know what to say.
Kenny continues, "I didn't. So who says you're my girlfriend?"
He used to use her as a shield, so he always indulged her nonsense, but things have changed.
Hilda sees her daughter being bullied. She immediately says, "but you haven't denied it for so many years. Don't you have feelings for her after so many years together?"
She has an ominous premonition that he is now trying to get rid of her daughter.
Mrs. Murphy stands quietly beside. She is very excited. Her son is so powerful and cool. If Poppy sees that, would she be attracted by him?
Kenny frowns. "I didn't deny that doesn't mean I admit that. There are so many women around me. My secretary has stayed with me for several years, five days a week. Should I also have feelings for her?"
Hilda's face turns gloomy, while Ethel, with her head down, shows a fierce look. She thinks that Kenny would become like this only because of Jean. Otherwise, he would never say such cruel words to her.
