Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 Old Mrs. Riley Supported Her

Tristan mistakenly thought that old Mrs. Riley was going to intervene on his behalf and he hastily explained.

"It isn't a big deal. It was just some children's issues, but Ms. Burton took it seriously and chose to involve herself in my family affairs."

Old Mrs. Riley chuckled softly and diplomatically responded, "We're all parents here, so there's no need for us to beat around the bush. I'm well aware of my third son's character as a mother myself. As for Adeline, I know her very well. Both of them tend to get involved in other people's affairs and conflicts. If you still want to remain neutral, then I suppose we can conclude our discussion here, and I won't be able to assist you."

Tristan smiled and nodded.

"Yes, yes, you're right. My son is dating a girl from their class. They're just young kids, and a little mischief is normal, you know? One time, my son couldn't smooth things over with that girl, and she turned around and falsely accused my son of rape. Ms. Burton even sided with that girl and accused my son. Fortunately, the court later cleared my son's name. Now, that girl and my son have patched things up again. But they've had another argument, and Ms. Burton rushed over yesterday, claiming that she had saved that girl. Mr. Riley is taking Ms. Burton's side, helping her confront my son. After that, they even threatened me not to pursue this matter. Old Mrs. Riley, what do you think? Is it good for our families' relationship to deteriorate like this?"

As Tristan finished speaking, Logan walked up to him and said, "On behalf of Adeline, I apologize for this matter. I hope you, as an honorable person, can be magnanimous..."

Before he could finish his sentence, old Mrs. Riley cut him off.

"Logan."

Logan instinctively looked toward his grandmother.

Old Mrs. Riley's lips curled slightly. She looked at him and said, "Did I ask you to speak?"

Logan hesitated and replied, "Grandma, I was just trying to help Adeline..."

"For Adeline's sake, you better keep your mouth shut!"

Logan wanted to talk back, but old Mrs. Riley's gaze turned fierce.

"Our family members must carry themselves with pride outside! Listen carefully! Until things become clear, I won't allow you to bow or apologize!"
