Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1160

David was fierce, his voice was loud, and he had a big build. When he stepped out, he looked fierce and scary, like someone not to be trifled with. Mr. and Mrs. Zais usually looked kind and amiable as they were all neighbors. Although they weren't close, they would still normally greet each other, and everyone understood not to offend friendly people.

That was the first time everyone saw David so fierce. Everyone moved aside when they saw him acting so.

After all, they just came to watch a scene; they weren't there to cause trouble for themselves.

As soon as everyone stepped aside, there was no one to help Amelia anymore. The one initially helping Amelia was a young woman. Seeing that everyone stepped back, she quickly helped Amelia up then said, "Madam Amelia, please stand properly."

After that, she went off along with the crowd.

Amelia was speechless.

Did they all have to be that snobbish?

Weren't they all standing quite near earlier on? The neighbors were afraid of David, but Amelia was not. She straightened her back and said, "David, you came right on time. I want to know how you educate your daughter. How can you allow her to slander others like this? I watched her grow up, and I can be considered her parental figure, can't I? Although I am old and my children are not by my side, you can't bully an old lady like this... Boohoo..."

Mabie followed behind David and was surprised by Amelia's words. She thought that Amelia was simply too shameless.

What did she mean by being a parental figure to Vera? Just because she watched her grow up? She thought of how Sheridan humiliated her precious daughter while Amelia still had the nerve to stir up trouble early in the morning, making their neighbors gather to watch the scene.

If this spread, it'll ruin Vera's reputation as well as their family's.

At this thought, Mabie didn't want to show the slightest bit of kindness to Amelia; she directly criticized, "Amelia, I can still reluctantly agree that you wanted to introduce a man to my daughter out of goodwill. I can also admit that you had watched her grow up. But I cannot agree with you saying that you're like a parental figure to Vera. What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that after David and I raised Vera so hard, we could only be considered as half her parents?"

Amelia didn't expect that Mabie would hold a grudge on that, and she didn't know how to refute for a moment, "It's just a phrase; I wasn't trying to say that I'm really her parent. But no matter what, I'm still considered an elder, am I not?"

"Since you are not her parent, you have no rights to discipline our daughter." Mabie stepped forward and pushed David aside.

In terms of eloquence, women were surely better than men. Besides, Mabie already knew how to deal with Amelia a long time ago.

They had been listening in the corridor for a long time, and Mabie was suppressing the anger in her heart, so she didn't intend to allow Amelia any opportunity to refute as she said, "Also, I was listening to the conversation from upstairs. You kept accusing my daughter of having a boyfriend, yet she asked you to introduce her to a man. Amelia, we shouldn't falsify the facts. You were the one who came to the pasta restaurant to introduce this Sheridan to Vera. You already called him over before we could even agree to it. How did it end up as Vera being the one who asked you to introduce a partner to her? Amelia, with the way you're falsifying the facts, I'm highly doubting the story about my daughter's boyfriend beating Sheridan up and causing him to end up with dozens of broken bones. You probably lied and made those stories up as well, didn't you?"

Vera stood on the side and looked at her mother. After listening to those words, she felt very pleased and more confident. Originally, she thought that her parents would not let this matter escalate because they cared about their reputation, and they would rather deal with it in private. She did not expect them to come forward to help her.

"You! Mabie! How dare you say that I'm falsifying facts? You better make it clear right now!"
