Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 1290

After that, Olivia put on a helpless expression and shook her head. She then said, "I don't know what you want me to clarify. I'm a little dense. Do you mind just saying it?"

The more Olivia acted innocent, and the more she said she didn't know anything, the more enraged Mavis was.

Eason could not help but lower his eyes and snicker when he saw how Olivia dealt with Mavis.

It seemed like she was trying to goad her.

The angrier Mavis was, the calmer Olivia was. That way, Mavis would embarrass herself in front of everyone. Although it was despicable, Eason found it exciting for some reason.

After all, Mavis was the one who caused trouble all the time.

"Stop pretending, Olivia. You obviously heard what I said just now, and you want me to say it again. Don't you feel ashamed? How can you live off Uncle Karl and Auntie Brenda when you are almost 30. You're not a child anymore."

The guests compared them as they listened to their conversation.

Olivia was calm and composed while Mavis was shouting and yelling. It was obvious who was the bigger person.

Janet was observing the crowd's reaction the entire time. When she found everyone looking at her daughter with disdain, she secretly tugged on Mavis's arm as the situation had gone south.

"Mavis, that's enough. Why are you making a fuss on such an occasion?"

Mavis retracted her hand. "Mom, I just want to seek justice for Uncle Karl and Auntie Brenda. They only have a daughter as their child. I can't stand by and watch Olivia continue to waste her life away."

Olivia's mouth was twitching because Mavis actually said she was almost 30.

Please, she was in her early twenties. What did she mean by nearly 30?

With that thought, Olivia sneered and said, "Mavis, we are of the same age. You may think you are nearly 30, but I don't. But if you want to seek justice for my parents so badly, then let's have a chat. Judging from your tone, it looks like you have a bone to pick about my parents only giving birth to a daughter?"

At that, Mavis had an arrogant look. "Of course. Everyone knows three things make one unfilial.

One of them is not having a son. You're the only daughter in your family, yet you're a disappointment."

"Oh, then you're saying a woman is not as good as a man?"

Mavis had an older brother, so she spoke confidently. "I only know I have an older brother, but you don't."

"Ha," Olivia sneered. "Mavis, you are a girl, but you are not proud of being one. Instead, you are proud of men. How do you see all the women here? How do you see Grandma?"

Olivia related the problem to Marilyn.

She clearly knew although Marilyn was dissatisfied with her family, she had never definitively said it was unfilial to not give birth to a son. However, Mavis pointed it out directly.

Olivia used Mavis's words against her.

Sure enough, when Mavis was asked how she looked at her grandmother, she became flustered and subconsciously looked at Marilyn.

Marilyn, being brought into the issue by Olivia, looked at Mavis with displeasure in her eyes.

Mavis panicked and quickly explained, "Grandma, I don't mean that. You gave birth to three outstanding children, so you must be outstanding too."

Marilyn's words made Olivia speechless.

They were cousins? When Mavis was doing the same to her, why didn't Marilyn think they were cousins?

Also, was Mavis the only girl? Was she considered a boy then?

Of course, Olivia didn't dare to say them out loud to Marilyn's face.

She just smiled faintly and spoke with a gentler tone.

"Grandma, you misunderstood me. I didn't direct everyone to criticize Mavis. It's just that as a girl herself, she looked down on her own gender. Being a girl myself, I'd be angry about it too."

Marilyn's face darkened. "So you're saying I'm partial to her?"

"No, no." Olivia shook her head and said, "Grandma, you are the most fair-minded person in the world. Everyone knows that, don't they?"

The crowd fell silent.

Bullsh*t.

However, they were willing not to embarrass Marilyn.

"That's right. Madam Marilyn, you are the most fair-minded person in the world. You would never be partial."

"Yes, Mavis did cross the line a little just now, but we won't dwell on it since she's still young. We got impulsive since we're angry just now, please don't take whatever we said to heart, Madam Marilyn"
