"That's right, Honey. There are too many people. Even if we went over, we won't be able to greet her. That's why Ollie and I decided to hang around here first. We were having a good chat with everyone." The crowd who just witnessed the feud was at a loss for words.

They had a good chat? Bullsh*t! More like they had a good retort.

A gratified smile appeared on Karl's face. He felt blissful seeing the two most important women in his life holding each of his arms.

"I'm glad you two are enjoying yourselves. I was worried you might feel uneasy having to be here. Looks like I've overthought." No! You definitely overthought. It's not that they were uneasy, but they were too tough! The crowd cried in their hearts.

However, Brenda no longer looked as tough as she did. She looked like a young girl, snuggling up to Karl at that moment.

Olivia, on the other hand, may not have looked as gentle as her mom, but she was obviously playing the part of a sweet daughter.

The three of them, as a complete family, walked toward the crowd who surrounded Marilyn.

After they left, the crowd looked at each other. Suddenly, someone sighed softly.

"Why do I suddenly feel that the Jenkins family's third son seems quite... happy?" It was a man who spoke. His words also reflected the thoughts of many men present.

His wife was gentle, while his daughter was obedient. They were fierce to outsiders but loving and sweet toward Karl. More importantly, they wouldn't fight. Such a family was a joyful sight...

The men who pitied Karl in the beginning suddenly becenvious of him. Marilyn was surrounded by many guests.

It was her 70th birthday that day. Back then, she did her best to give birth to three sons. However, her husband dumped her when she was young, leaving her to raise her sons herself. Marilyn was filled with satisfaction seeing how successful her children were and even organized a birthday party for her.

Although she felt angry and aggrieved that her husband left her at a young age, as a mother, she couldn't leave her sons just like that.

Hence, she shouldered it all as she raised her sons.

Olivia knew about these as her father mentioned her grandmother's story many times.

It was also because of this that Olivia didn't have such a bad impression of her grandmother.

It was merely that her patriarchal attitude was rather deep-rooted. Other than that, Olivia knew that her grandmother was a strong and remarkable woman.

It would be great if she could get rid of her prejudice against Olivia and her parents.

"Mom, Brenda and Ollie are here." Karl brought his wife and daughter to Marilyn and spoke to her.

The wife and children of the eldest and second son had made their presence known to Marilyn and were all standing near them, looking at their family.

As a mother, Brenda first went up and wished Marilyn.

Olivia followed. They both recited simple wishes, unlike Janet, who vaunted.

Marilyn didn't like Karl's wife and daughter.

However, it was her birthday banquet, and there were many outsiders present that day. So Marilyn naturally did not put them in a difficult position. She merely nodded indifferently, unlike how passionate she was with her first and second sons' families.

After that, Olivia and Brenda joined the others and stood by the side.

Mavis stood next to her mother. When she was wishing her grandmother earlier, she recited a long paragraph. It was all to please her grandmother so that she would favor her more.

She had planned to take back all the grievances she had received from Olivia from seeing her being made difficult by their grandmother.

But to her surprise, her grandmother didn't say a word, let alone make things difficult for Olivia and her mother. That was unacceptable to Mavis.

Mavis was not willing to let it be. So after she saw Olivia move back, she immediately went toward Marilyn, tugging on her arms.

"Grandma, I have something to tell you." When Olivia saw Mavis suddenly run toward Marilyn, she had a sense of foreboding.

Mavis wouldn't try to make a fuss at such a time, would she? Thinking of this, Olivia was about to say something when Eason beat her to it, "Mavis, today is Grandma's birthday. Everyone else is waiting. You can tell Grandma whatever you want later." Mavis didn't expect Eason would stop her. She was stunned for a moment and said, "I-1 want to tell Grandma now. It's just a few words." Eason's face darkened as he said, "Then can you wait until later? There are so many guests around. Do you want everyone to wait for you?" Marilyn smiled when she heard this and patted Mavis's hand. "Mavis, if you have anything to say, say it later. Go back to your place first." "But..." Mavis was still unwilling to give up and she glared at Olivia.

Seeing Mavis looking at her, Olivia smiled, raised her eyebrows, and blinked.

To Mavis, it was a provocation. She was immediately angered and shouted, "Olivia, why are you looking atlike that? I only wanted to say a few words to Grandma. Are you that happy seeing I'm chased away?" Olivia was silent.

Mavis was probably an idiot. Marilyn had asked Mavis to leave her words for later it obviously showed how much Marilyn cared about this banquet. Could she not value it? This was the first tMarilyn's sons organized such a grand birthday banquet for their mother. They even invited a lot et guests.

What Mavis was doing at a tlike this was embarrassing her grandmother as the guests all knew how much Marilyn cared about her public image.

"Grandma, I just want to tell you how horrible Olivia is. She hasn't found a proper job after she graduated. She stays at hand lives off Uncle you used to teach us to rely on Karl and Auntie Brenda

ourselves but not on our parents for anything, right? But, Ollie did not take your words to heart. She slacked off in school, and now that she's an adult, she's still as useless as ever. Now that she's here, Grandma, why don't you lecture her? If she keeps behaving like that, I feel sad for Uncle Karl and Auntie Brenda..." Everyone fell silent.

Olivia was rendered speechless.

She looked at Mavis, tongue-tied.

She used to think Mavis was at least a little smart. However, Olivia realized what a buffoon Mavis was that day.

Just how much did Mavis hate her for her to do such a thing, and even willingly sacrifice herself while at it. Olivia supported her chin with one hand, deep in thought.
