Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth novel Chapter 147

"It malfunctioned a long time ago. You only found out now."

August answered offhandedly.

"She seems to be seriously ill."

Macie frowned. "Back then, she used to be cocky or rude whenever she saw me. How could she ever be respectful to me like she is now?"

"She has changed for the better."

"Really?"

Macie was full of doubts. "Well, why are people still gossiping about her out there in recent times then?"

"They are all rumours."

August answered with a smile while he dealt with the arrival of the guests.

"Are they really rumours? They seem to be quite plausible. I heard that her aunt was sent to the police station with her bullying. This can't be a rumour, right?"

"Mum!"

August cut her off as he turned to give her a look. "Don't say anything about this in front of grandmother. She doesn't like to hear about it." He warned her.

"Oh, come on, I'm only asking out of curiosity. I'm not stupid enough to talk about it in front of granny."

"It's best if you don't. Anyway, whatever Gwenda's accused of, it's not true. Even if they are! It's their fault, and not Gwenda's. Just remember this."

August did not want to talk about this matter with her anymore and led the guests into the house.

Seeing this, Macie pursed her lips and muttered to herself, "When did this kid start defending Gwenda Evans?"

...

In the hall, Gwenda walked up to Suzanne with the guidance of the maid.

"Grandma."

"Oh, you're here."

Suzanne caught her hand. "You're early tonight. When you take your seat later, sit with me."

"Okay."

Gwenda nodded with a smile.

Nearby, a few women who had been chatting with Suzanne gave her looks of disdain when they saw her coming.

They began gossiping the moment Suzanne left with Gwenda in tow.

"I heard that Gwenda was being subversive, having sent her own aunt to the police station. Later, her aunt went home and cried about the incident. Tsk, tsk, how terrible!"

"Gwenda is famous for her overbearing attitude. I didn't expect that she wouldn't even let off her own kin."

"You just said it yourself. She's used to being overbearing. Not only is she cruel to her aunt, she's cruel to her stepmother too. That wonderful stepmother who has loved her as her own."

"Oh well, if it was me, I'd have kicked this ingrate out of the house."

"That's right. Her stepmother is known for being a good person. She treats her better than she does her biological daughter! Who knew that Gwenda would turn out to be such a b*tch? She doesn't even appreciate a single lick of what her stepmother has done for her. Alas..."

"She'd better not fall into my hands! I can't stand heartless people like her!"
