Brenda knew her daughter was someone who refused to lose out just like her.
However, she also knew Olivia wouldn't cross the line in front of her elders unless they went overboard. She would usually look away.
That was right. Everything she said was right.
Why did she suddenly fight back that day?
However, Brenda came to her senses very soon. Regardless, she would support whatever Olivia did. It was better that she fought back. That way, the mother- daughter duo knew what shamelessness was and that they wouldn't find trouble with them for no reason.
After Janet came to her senses, she looked at Olivia acidly as she scolded, "What are you saying?"
Mavis had also come to her senses, and she looked a little embarrassed. "Yeah, what do you mean by that?"
Olivia smiled. She withdrew the arm Mavis held as she said, "I was complimenting you, Mavis. Can't you tell?" "How was that a compliment?! You were obviously insulting me. How could you?"
Mavis was angry and vexed, but Olivia, on the other hand, looked calm and composed.
"So what if I did? Just from what you said about me, I'm already considered nice for not lashing out."
"You!"
Janet looked at Olivia in disbelief. "When did you turn out like this? You still had some manners back then. But now, you don't even have the least bit of manners left. Forget about earning a decent income; you've become so rude now. Brenda, what have you and Karl been doing? Is this how to bring up your child?"
Hearing her name mentioned, Brenda smiled coldly and said, "Janet, if you have the time to criticize how I brought up Ollie, why don't you pay more attention to Mavis? She hasn't even greeted me from the moment we met. At least Ollie did. Don't you think you're worse than me at raising a child?"
Both Brenda and Olivia were sharp-tongued. They just didn't bother fighting back usually. But if they did, they would tear the other person apart.
Sure enough, Janet and Mavis were at a loss for words. Their faces looked incredibly annoyed and mad.
Olivia couldn't help but feel delighted in her heart.
"That's what you get for talking trash. Since you like to gossip and find trouble, I'll let you have a taste of your own medicine." Olivia thought.
Just when the atmosphere was getting tense, another group of people approached. It was Olivia's other aunt, Fiona, and her sons. Seeing that her sisters- in- law and their children had gathered, she couldn't help but smile.
"Janet, Brenda, why are you all standing here?"
Olivia smiled and greeted her Aunt Fiona. Because of her criticism earlier, Mavis also greeted Fiona unwillingly.
Fiona responded and walked closer to them. "Let's go in together. Mother would be happy to see everybody here."
Fiona held Brenda and Janet's arms in each hand as they walked. Olivia could only slow down her steps and follow behind.
Aunt Fiona gave birth to three sons, and all three of them had different personalities. The youngest, Eason, was frivolous. He slowed down and walked beside Olivia.
"Ollie, I heard you're a freelancer, and you can work any time you want. It must be nice, right?"
Olivia glanced at him and said with a smile, "It's not too bad. You can try and see if it's nice."
"Forget it. I have a headache as soon as I see words. Alas, we've all grown up now. You used to only be this tall. Who would've thought after so many years, you've grown into a lady too? Do you have a boyfriend? When are you getting married?"
