Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1488

What did he say?

Was that what a normal person would say?

How was she a show-off? What's more, it wasn't wrong for a woman to want to be pretty. They could not go with fewer skincare products. Yet, Olivia did feel a twinge of guilt as she swept her gaze over all the toiletries in the bathroom.

It was packed full of her own items, such as lotions, cleansers, moisturizers, oils, and sunscreen. Not only that, there were also face masks for brightening, hydrating, anti-aging. Sam only had a single cleanser that was pitifully pushed aside to a corner.

Oh, perhaps he didn't know what he should use?

Forget about it. She didn't want to argue with him anymore. She put on a night mask and went to bed.

The wedding was held in Sam's hometown. He booked the best hotel in the vicinity and invited a lot of people whom he was close with.

The wedding bustled with activity. Their parents were all still alive and kicking, and the Jenkins family alone had many extended families, what more to say the Sorrento family. To say that there were many people attending the wedding was an understatement. Entire families showed up, and the single guests brought friends along to participate.

When Mavis saw the tall and handsome Sam in the wedding pictures, and the grandiose ceremony, jealousy overcame her. However, she huffed in a frigid and sarcastic way, "Our Ollie from the Jenkins family is quite pretty too. She should at least get a man who looks good. Why did she choose a guy with scars on his face? What do you guys think Ollie likes about him? Perhaps his money?"

Those words made Eason, her cousin, frown inadvertently. Angrily, he seethed, "Mavis, you've had it out for Ollie since you were a schoolgirl. Today is a day of celebration. Can you control your mean mouth?"

Her expression contorted when she was berated. She began explaining, "Eason, how am I mean? I didn't say anything bad about Ollie. Didn't you hear me praising her good looks? It's just that the scar on her future husband's face is slightly scary."

He interjected, "Enough. What is your last sentence if not mocking? What's more, if you really find Sam so disagreeable, why don't you stop ogling him? You've been staring at his photo ever since you came. Those who aren't in the know would think that you're trying to snatch him away."

"Eason, what are you saying? How would I..." She had not anticipated that he would be that unreserved. Her face twisted in an ugly expression.

"Eason." Fiona reached out and tugged on her son's arm. "Watch your mouth. No matter what, Mavis is still your younger cousin."

He snorted, evidently not wanting to acknowledge that fact. "With how mean and acrimonious she is, who knows what she'll say about me behind my back."

All three branches of the Jenkins family were there that day. While Mavis was talking, her parents were there at the table too. Her mother, Janet, could hear her every word. The look on her face wasn't pleasant, but everyone knew that the main branch of the Jenkins family, which Eason was from, earned the most money. The second branch, Mavis' family, was known for being egotistical.

Although Janet was furious, she did not dare to admonish Eason directly. She could only sputter awkwardly, "Eason, Mavis means no harm. She's just voicing out her actual thoughts. We're all family, so we just want the best for Ollie."

Mavis was already seething because of what Eason had said to her. Her brother, Fabian, curled his lips in displeasure. "Eason, Mavis really didn't mean it in an offensive way. Please don't misunderstand her."

Eason swept his gaze over them and languidly downed a glass of wine. Nonchalantly, he said, "I'm not sure whether she means it that way or not. However, there is one thing I'm sure of. Not giving your blessing to the couple is one thing. It's another thing to mock someone's husband and feign innocence after insulting them."

After he made that clear, he gave them the sideeye and tilted his head, "Since you don't know how to use your words, you should learn to shut up. Wouldn't that be easier to learn?"

As soon as he said that, Mavis' family's expression evidently grew chagrined.

Mavis smoldered right away. "Mom..."
