Heart Hunting novel Chapter 79

Mrs. Hughes gets anxious. She pulls Mrs. Turner's sleeve and asks, "what shall we do?"

Poppy's hearing is as good as a hawk. When she hears Mrs. Hughes's words, she offers them a solution. "Apologize to Mrs. Murphy one by one, and I'll pretend it never happened."

"We didn't do anything wrong. Why apologize?" Mrs. Turner, who usually bullies Mrs. Murphy, is very angry. She thinks herself is also a great lady, why should she apologize to that pushover.

"So you're not gonna apologize?" Poppy turns to Mrs. Murphy and says, "Mrs. Murphy, please call the police."

Mrs. Murphy doesn't expect Poppy to be so serious about this, she blinks with a little confused. She is reluctant to make the thing become a gossip.

Poppy gives Mrs. Murphy a hint with her eyes. Mrs. Murphy immediately understands it and takes out her cell phone.

Poppy adds, "Mrs. Murphy, I remember you have the phone number of Sir Leo? Just call him! Call 911 to let the police to deal with this kind of thing. And these three ladies must be punished severely."

Even a fool can understand the real meaning of her words. With the personal relationship, the police will surely detain them in the station for Mrs. Murphy's sake.

"OK, I'll call him right away!" Mrs. Murphy is very cooperative. She searches the phone number in the contact list.

Their action succeeds in terrifying Mrs. Perry. "Well...Mrs. Murphy, I'm so sorry! I won't gossip about your family any more, and I won't cheat you intentionally when playing cards. This thing is nothing to do with me."

Mr. Hughes also apologizes. "Mrs. Murphy, I'm sorry that I said those words just now. It is my fault. I won't say it any more, and I won't mention your husband again. Please forgive me."

Mrs. Turner looks at the other two ladies. She is speechless and feel disappointed with them. How spineless they are.

Poppy smiles and looks at Mrs. Murphy. "Mrs. Murphy, are you satisfied with their apology?"

What she means is that if you are not satisfied, I can make it better.

Mrs. Murphy is really flattered. She was bullied by them before. And she never thought that she can get an apology from them. "All right. Just don't deceive me when playing cards next time."

Poppy then asks, "do you all hear Mrs. Murphy?"

The two ladies nod their heads. Poppy smiles again. "A wise man submits to fate. You're not stupid, but this lady..." Poppy glances at Mrs. Turner, "seems really wants to taste the food in prison..."

She says significantly. And Mrs. Hughes can't help persuading, "Mrs. Turner, be calm for a while. Do you really want to be detained in the bureau?"

"Yeah, we were wrong just now. Mrs. Murphy is usually very good to us. She even lent us her expensive jewelry. We really shouldn't do that to her." Mrs. Perry adds.

Mrs. Turner looked at the two 'fence-sitters'. She feels angry but helpless. After a deadlock, Poppy doesn't want to wait any longer. She says to Mrs. Murphy, "Mrs. Murphy, call the police. Let's get it done quickly, I don't want to waste time on such a woman..."

"I, am, sorry!" Mrs. Turner gnashes her teeth and apologizes reluctantly.

Poppy snorts, "is that your attitude to apologize? We don't owe you anything. Don't act like a creditor."

With relying on Poppy, Mrs. Murphy's courage gradually grows. "If you're unwilling to apologize, just don't."

“Mrs. Turner, please...” The other two ladies kept persuading. They want a peaceful solution.

Mrs. Turner takes a deep breath and eases her tone, “I’m Sorry."

"Smile a little." Poppy is being fussy on purpose. "Who would apologize with no sincere smile?"

Mrs. Turner smiles stiffly, and says again. "I am sorry!"

"Is it because your face had injected hyaluronic acid so that you can't smile? A standard smile must show eight teeth, do it again!"

Mrs. Murphy watches Poppy reprimand Mrs. Turner over and over again. She feels quite satisfied and is more and more admiring Poppy.

The other two ladies feels it funny that Mrs. Turner really makes a fool of herself this time. And fortunately, they have apologized to Mrs. Murphy right away just now, otherwise... it would be them to make a show of themselves.

After several times of being criticized, Mrs. Turner finally compromises. She shows a stiff smile which is uglier than crying, and apologizes with a sobbing tone. "I am sorry, Mrs. Murphy, I'm really sorry. I won't dare to bully you any more."
