Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1289

Could it be that what Olivia said to Mavis that day had pushed her to the edge?

In the past, Olivia would always ignore her. Did Mavis feel threatened because she had fought back that day?

Had she wanted to take this opportunity to step all over Olivia?

Janet was gobsmacked by her daughter's actions. In the past, Mavis knew to do her family proud by pleasing Marilyn. Therefore, their family was treated nearly just as well as the eldest son's family.

And left Karl's family far behind.

But now? Mavis did such a stupid act on such an important occasion!

Janet scolded Mavis in a whisper, "Mavis, what are you talking about? Come back quickly!"

Mavis didn't want to give in. She pouted and said, "Mom."

"Come back here!"

Mavis stood rooted, glaring at Olivia with hatred. Olivia merely stood where she was, with no intention of saying anything. She looked composed compared to Mavis's fuming rage.

Marilyn was livid. This was her birthday banquet, and she was supposed to be the center of attention. However, Mavis suddenly complained to her. Was she trying to ruin her birthday banquet?

However, Mavis had put it out in the open. It would be harder to salvage the situation if she stopped talking now.

Seeing that Mavis had no intention of leaving, Janet went to pull Mavis back to the crowd.

"Wait."

Marilyn suddenly stopped her.

Janet's expression changed slightly, and she explained, "Mom, Mavis is not sensible. Don't listen to what she said. It's your birthday today; we shouldn't have ruined the mood. I'll ask her to apologize to you later."

Marilyn was already upset, so she obviously didn't care about Janet's words. She stared at Mavis and said, "Mavis Jenkins, repeat what you just said."

Mavis was silent.

She suddenly cowered.

That was because she saw the fierceness in her grandmother's eyes. Moreover, her grandmother called her entire name instead of just 'Mavis' like she usually did.

"Grandma, I..." "Say it. Since you've already started talking, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Now that the water had spilled all over, it wouldn't be easy to return to the cup.

"Mom, it's your birthday today. Let's not let these things affect the party, shall we?" Janet was still trying to save the situation and even her husband came forward to say a few words.

However, Marilyn didn't buy their crap. Since her eldest son was yet to be present, she waved her hand at Fiona, calling her over.

"Fiona, what do you propose we do?"

Fiona felt rather helpless being called out, but there was nothing she could do as she was the eldest next to Marilyn at present. She glanced around the banquet and suggested softly, "Mom, it's your birthday today, so let's not care about things that don't concern you or your feelings. Whatever Mavis said just now is between the children. They're still young. As long as they didn't do anything illegal, making mistakes and lazing around is understandable. I've watched Mavis and Ollie grow up; they're big girls now. If you want to have a bit of fun, we can let them debate it. But this is just an argument between the children, so don't be angry, Mom."

Fiona's words were obvious.

Whatever the children said did not represent the elders of the Jenkins family.

No matter what Olivia and Mavis said and did that day were considered roughhousing between the children. Marilyn could just take it as entertainment and listen to their bicker. It was not worth it for her to take it to heart.
