Heart Hunting novel Chapter 78

"Mr. Murphy, we haven't seen you recently. Where have you been?"

"I don't think it's because of Ethel's incident that you feel shameful to come out to meet us?" Mrs. Hughes says in a voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Ha-ha," Mrs. Perry chuckles, "how can you kidding Mrs. Murphy again!”

"We're not kidding. The news has been reported, it can't be fake."

Several ladies keep talking, and Mrs. Murphy doesn't get a chance to speak.

When they stop, Mrs. Murphy immediately denies, "don't get it wrong, my son has nothing to do with Ethel."

"Tut Tut, Mrs. Murphy, although she was reported to have a facelift, you can't turn your attitude to her because of that. You two used to go shopping before, and you were very happy, weren't you?" Mrs. Turner is aggressive.

Mrs. Murphy opens her mouth, but for a while, she doesn't know what to say. She did go out shopping with Ethel and even played cards. At that time, Ethel was so enthusiastic to her, and Mrs. Murphy didn't know how to refuse. Some time later, she felt that it was good to have someone to accompany her.

But unexpectedly, it becomes the laughingstock.

Seeing the sarcastic and smirk faces of several ladies, Mrs. Murphy doesn't dare to say anything.

"Mrs. Murphy, your eyesight is really poor. You didn't choose a right person and got Kenny involved. He found a woman with face lifting to be a wife, their children will be ugly!"

"There's much news about that. Many women with face lifting marry rich people, and their children are so ugly. At last, they get domestic violence and divorce."

"No way..." Mr. Hughes raises her voice deliberately. "Mrs. Murphy, it's enough that you and your dead husband have a bad marriage. You'd better not get Kenny involved. How bad it will be if there is a violent divorce."

Mrs. Perry chuckles. "Don't say that. Mrs. Murphy is actually quite innocent. It's only because she doesn't have a man around her. And she is so simple-minded."

"Ah, it's a pity that Mr. Murphy left so early!"

The ladies shift the subject from Kenny to the dead Elvis Murphy.

Their mouths are like fierce beasts which can swallow Mrs. Murphy, especially when they mention Elvis, which is the pain of all her life.

Elvis Murphy died just a month after Kenny born. And Mrs. Murphy is the only one to raise Kenny up. Those who know these things and respect Mrs. Murphy won't mention Elvis Murphy.

But now these ladies mention this, they deeply hurt Mrs. Murphy's heart.

"Ashes to ashes. Is it really cool to talk about that?" A cold voice sounded behind them. Poppy, who just comes back from the washroom, happens to hear what they said.

The ladies look around, and see a young beautiful face. But Poppy shows a fierce look, especially when she looks at them, her eyes are as sharp as knives.

They don't know Poppy. Mrs. Turner responds, "who the hell are you? What we want to say is none of your business."

"Yeah, we're not talking about you. It's none of your business."

"Looks like a fox spirit. Are you trying to help Mrs. Murphy, so that you can marry into a their family?"

These ladies move their target to Poppy.

Mrs. Murphy's eyes turns red, and she shows a sad expression, which seems to say, sorry, I've got you involved.

It's true that all lay load on the willing horse. By virtue of Mrs. Murphy's simple kindness, these three women are good at bullying her.
