Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1287

As the eldest son of the Jenkins family was rather successful, guests who came to the banquet showed Marilyn due respect. They either gave her gifts or said their blessings.

Sometime during the banquet, Olivia found her mother standing next to her.

They glanced and each other but did not say anything.

However, they heard a faint conversation behind them.

"Look at Marilyn. I heard her family was in a poor situation in the past, but she tried her best to give birth to three sons. Now that her sons have pulled through, she's starting to put on airs. Back when her children were still young, everyone knew she was gloomy and moody all day long. She was a shabby plain- old housewife; that was why her husband dumped her."

Hearing that, someone snickered.

"She sure is miserable. Did she really think her husband would listen to her if she gave it her all to bear three sons? Who would've thought her husband ran away because she lived too miserably."

"Yeah. Though I have never seen what she looked like in the past, look at her now, a face full of wrinkles."

Olivia could not help but frown as she listened to the conversation.

Although she didn't like her grandmother, that was her issue. Regardless, she was still her grandmother and her father's mother.

Despite disliking her grandmother, Olivia would not openly talk about it.

Naturally, Olivia could not stand it when she heard people openly slander her grandmother. Both Brenda and her subconsciously glanced at each other and saw the displeasure in each other's eyes.

It seemed that her mother felt the same as she did.

They looked at each other then turned toward the guests who were gossiping about Marilyn with a smile.

"Today is my grandmother's birthday banquet, but the hotel did a poor job at keeping things clean around here. There are so many flies buzzing around that it's giving me a headache."

Brenda immediately understood Olivia's words and joined her. She acted dramatically and pretended to sniff around. Then she sighed loudly,

"Take a whiff. What is this smell?"

The two guests who were gossiping were baffled by the mother and daughter's actions at first, then they heard Brenda say, "Such a sour stench. The hygiene of this hotel is so poor. Not only are there lots of flies, but this stench is just unbearable."

Olivia nodded with a serious expression. "I also smell it. It stinks. Ugh, why don't we complain about this after the banquet ends? We can't just let the hotel workers laze around."

"You're right. Our family has paid an enormous amount for the banquet today. These flies are just spoiling my appetite."

One of them was a little dense. Hearing the conversation between Brenda and Olivia, she immediately looked around. With confusion written over her face as she said, "I don't see any flies here. I don't smell anything sour, either. Where did you both..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by her companion, "Idiot!"

That person blinked, not seeming to catch what was going on.
