Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1291

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 come to an end. However, someone was still unwilling to let it go.

Janet felt bitter seeing her daughter silently suffering a great loss. She wanted to stand up for Mavis.

After Mavis admitted her mistake, Janet spoke 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 home all day long. She even has to live off her parents. Although Olivia has a modern woman's mindset, she can't just sit at home and 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.

It was obvious that Janet was trying to push Olivia into the fire pit. However, it wouldn't be easy for Janet to make a fool of her in front of everyone.

Before Olivia could say anything, Karl came forward. He looked gentle, and he rarely got angry, but when Mavis slandered his daughter, he had already wanted to come forward. 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 Janet couldn't sit still anymore, Karl made his move.

He was frowning and looked unhappy.

"Janet, you said you heard these rumors. Then, can you tell me where you heard it from? Who said them?"

Janet was 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 Janet said, Karl insisted on asking, "Janet, just tell me who 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?

Janet couldn't bear Karl's questioning any longer, but Karl continued, "Janet, don't be afraid. You just have to tell me who 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 tell me their names then? I'll go have a talk with them and find out who exactly they heard it from."

"It's, in fact, just a rumor. Although I don't have a proper job, I've been working hard to support myself. Not only have you guys seen it yourselves, but you also don't have proof. How can you say I don't work and live off my parents on Grandma's birthday banquet?"

Olivia then turned to Marilyn.

"Grandma, although I don't earn much, as long as I can support myself and occasionally give my parents some money, 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 Janet subconsciously responded to her call.

"Yeah?"

"Auntie Janet, can you tell me who told you all this? I'm pretty sure this person does not have a 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.

For some reason, Janet felt fearful from the pressure and sharp gaze, despite standing a distance away from Olivia.

"Was Olivia possessed? How did she suddenly become so powerful? Was she always acting weak in the past?" Janet wondered.
