Heart Hunting novel Chapter 78

"Mr. Murphy, we haven't seen you recently. Where have you been?"

"I don't think it's because of Ethel's incident that you feel shameful to come out to meet us?" Mrs. Hughes says in a voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Ha-ha," Mrs. Perry chuckles, "how can you kidding Mrs. Murphy again!”

"We're not kidding. The news has been reported, it can't be fake."

Several ladies keep talking, and Mrs. Murphy doesn't get a chance to speak.

When they stop, Mrs. Murphy immediately denies, "don't get it wrong, my son has nothing to do with Ethel."

"Tut Tut, Mrs. Murphy, although she was reported to have a facelift, you can't turn your attitude to her because of that. You two used to go shopping before, and you were very happy, weren't you?" Mrs. Turner is aggressive.

Mrs. Murphy opens her mouth, but for a while, she doesn't know what to say. She did go out shopping with Ethel and even played cards. At that time, Ethel was so enthusiastic to her, and Mrs. Murphy didn't know how to refuse. Some time later, she felt that it was good to have someone to accompany her.

But unexpectedly, it becomes the laughingstock.

Seeing the sarcastic and smirk faces of several ladies, Mrs. Murphy doesn't dare to say anything.

"Mrs. Murphy, your eyesight is really poor. You didn't choose a right person and got Kenny involved. He found a woman with face lifting to be a wife, their children will be ugly!"

"There's much news about that. Many women with face lifting marry rich people, and their children are so ugly. At last, they get domestic violence and divorce."

"No way..." Mr. Hughes raises her voice deliberately. "Mrs. Murphy, it's enough that you and your dead husband have a bad marriage. You'd better not get Kenny involved. How bad it will be if there is a violent divorce."

Mrs. Perry chuckles. "Don't say that. Mrs. Murphy is actually quite innocent. It's only because she doesn't have a man around her. And she is so simple-minded."

"Ah, it's a pity that Mr. Murphy left so early!"

The ladies shift the subject from Kenny to the dead Elvis Murphy.

Their mouths are like fierce beasts which can swallow Mrs. Murphy, especially when they mention Elvis, which is the pain of all her life.

Elvis Murphy died just a month after Kenny born. And Mrs. Murphy is the only one to raise Kenny up. Those who know these things and respect Mrs. Murphy won't mention Elvis Murphy.

But now these ladies mention this, they deeply hurt Mrs. Murphy's heart.

"Ashes to ashes. Is it really cool to talk about that?" A cold voice sounded behind them. Poppy, who just comes back from the washroom, happens to hear what they said.

The ladies look around, and see a young beautiful face. But Poppy shows a fierce look, especially when she looks at them, her eyes are as sharp as knives.

They don't know Poppy. Mrs. Turner responds, "who the hell are you? What we want to say is none of your business."

"Yeah, we're not talking about you. It's none of your business."

"Looks like a fox spirit. Are you trying to help Mrs. Murphy, so that you can marry into a their family?"

These ladies move their target to Poppy.

Mrs. Murphy's eyes turns red, and she shows a sad expression, which seems to say, sorry, I've got you involved.

It's true that all lay load on the willing horse. By virtue of Mrs. Murphy's simple kindness, these three women are good at bullying her.

Poppy sits down in a chair and pushes Mrs. Turner aside on purpose. "I'm having lunch with Mrs. Murphy. Who let you sit here?"

Seeing her refute, the other two ladies are a little bit frightened, it seems that this girl is not easy to push over. But Mrs. Turner is not afraid of her. She says straightforwardly, "we are Mrs. Murphy's card partners. We usually play cards and go shopping together. Who the hell are you? You’re so rude."

"Are you sure you're not injurious partners?" Poppy sneers. She sits next to Mrs. Murphy, and puts her arm around her shoulder. And she taps her, signaling her not to be afraid.

Mrs. Murphy shows a sense of dependency in her eyes. Poppy is so nice! She thinks.

"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Perry frowns. Seeing Mrs. Turner is not afraid of her, she gets bold, too. They are three people, why should they be afraid of her.

"Can't you understand? You bitches only know how to gossip behind people. Do you dare to say that to Kenny? Smart people know how to speak. What about you? You don't speak human language, but ghost's. If you want to be a ghost, the road outside is waiting for you.”

Poppy doesn't change her expression at all. She faces them calmly.

"You... You curse us?" Mrs. Turner's face gets askew because of anger.

"Little girl, don't be ridiculous. You are the substitute of that Ethel at best. Maybe the next gossip wind will blow to you." Mrs. Hughes, who hasn't spoken for a long while, also thinks that this girl goes is being out of bounds. A little toad dare to point at their noses and scold them! How dare she!

"You three will be the first to be blew by the gossip wind. Don't forget that there is a Dakings group behind Mrs. Murphy. If Kenny knows that you bully her mother, none of your husband's small businesses can escape from his revenge.”

Poppy refutes back. Her pretty face is raises a devil like smile, reminds people of a beautiful snake, which is beautiful and bewitching on the outside, but vicious and cruel on the inside.

These three ladies are used to bullying Mrs. Murphy. They really forget about Kenny. They used to feel that Mrs. Murphy was afraid to tell Kenny about it due to the face, so they dared to bully her.

But today comes a shrewd beauty. They look at each other.

Mrs. Turner, as the leader of the three, really doesn't want to show weakness. She points the spear at Mrs. Murphy. "Mrs. Murphy, don't say I don't remind you, if your son marry such a woman, he will must be controlled by her. You and Kenny will not have any status at home."

"That's right. They haven't married yet. And she already regards herself as the hostess. Who she thinks she is."

But Mrs. Murphy looks at Poppy and whispers, "I think she's very good!"

Her voice is like an ant squeak, which has no weight to her words. No wonder those women are so bold.

"Mrs. Murphy, you must have been brainwashed by her. You can't allow this kind of woman to marry your son. She's not decent." Mrs. Turner says at once.

"Well, let's be serious." Poppy takes out the mobile phone she has been holding in her hand. She says, "I have recorded all of what you said just now. According to Article 42 of the Law of Punishment for Public Security and Administration, when people insult others openly or slander others by fabricating facts, if the circumstances are serious, it will also constitute a crime. You may feel that you are just joking, but your behavior has violated others' right of reputation. As long as Mrs Murphy call the police. You're going to be fined and detained."

She puts her cell phone on the table, and there is a recording in it. She sneers, "ladies, are these serious enough?"

They don't expect her to be so capable. She even know the law and says it reasonably. Among them, Mrs. Hughes, the most timid, is freaked out.

If they are put into the jail because of this, they will surely be laughed.

Mrs. Murphy's eyes turn bright, and she adores Poppy like a fans. She looks at Poppy and is almost moved to tears. Poppy is so cool!

Mrs. Turner's hands are ready to move. It seems that she wants to take Poppy's cell phone. She thinks Poppy just put it there on purpose. Otherwise, how can she scare them.

"You can take it away, but remember, my mobile phone data is uploaded to the cloud synchronously. Even if you delete the record in the mobile phone, my computer still has a backup."

Poppy shows a fake smile. She is sure that they can do nothing to her.
