Chapter 57
"Mrs. Murphy, you're right. Those are rumors. They're all fake. I didn't have a facelift at all. My nose like this is because I was stroke by someone."
Ethel's voice sounds low and deep. Her brows are flopped, and her eyes are pitiful. She lightens her voice, "I'm so much in love with Kenny that I was impulsive to find that woman to settle accounts." Mrs. Murphy sneers in her heart, and she continues acting with her for a while. "Which woman?"
Mrs. Murphy always pursues the natural tendency of everything. Thinking some things too much would just be a trouble for, and they will not have any changes even if you think much about them. Hilda has been watching and looking at Mrs. Murphy's reaction. She feels more and more relieved. Mrs. Murphy seems a little silly and doesn't know anything, but such a woman is easy to be coaxed. Ethel answers immediately, "her name is Jean. It is her who seduces Kenny."
When it comes to Jean, the hatred in her eyes is so much that she even forgets to hide it.
Mrs. Murphy clearly sees her eyes. She thinks, Ethel is really a jealous woman. But is Jean that little fox spirit?
Hilda coughs twice, and gives a hint with her eyes to her daughter, indicating that she should be a little more restrained, and be gentle in front of Mrs. Murphy.
"Mrs. Murphy, I know that a successful man like Kenny must have no lack of women around him, but Jean really went too far, that's why I was so impulsive." Ethel now regrets every time she thinks about it.
Mrs. Murphy nods casually. "It's not your fault. Everyone has impulsive moments."
Her words are different from her inner thoughts. This jealous woman deserves to be hit by Jean. If such a jealous woman marries Kenny, I'll have not have a peaceful day.
"Thank you for your understanding, Mrs. Murphy. Actually, Jean is not a good woman. She is 30 years old, and she has been remarried four times. People call her "the black widow". I heard that all her husbands died because of her. Now she has so much money, and she gets it by dividing her husband's legacy. I think she gets close to Kenny are most probably for money."
Ethel says the words that she has prepared earlier, and she also looks at Mrs. Murphy's reaction while speaking.
Just as Ethel expects, Mrs. Murphy is really surprised. "She has married four times? And her husbands are all dead because of her?"
There is such a woman in the world? It seems that she has too narrow knowledge.
Hilda adds deliberately, "but how could it be so coincident. Each of her husbands is dead. I'm afraid..."
She stops, and Mrs. Murphy said, "was it man-made?"
She is completely shocked by Jean. She married so many times in a row, and all her husbands died. Where does her courage come from to remarried so many time?
"Well." Hilda covered her mouth and smiles. "It's hard to say, there's no evidence. Let's keep it secret in our hearts."
Mrs. Murphy nods. She is still so shocked that she doesn't pay attention to Hilda's and Ethel's calculating eyes.
Hilda adds, "how can this kind of woman be worthy of Kenny? It would be bad luck to be with her!"
She says it for a reason. Ethel sighs, "but Kenny seems to be intimate with her. I'm really worried about Kenny's safety."
Mrs. Murphy murmurs to herself, hasn't Kenny been intimate with the little fox spirit? Why is there a Jean?
Of course, other people don't know Mrs. Murphy's inner thoughts. Hilda shows a smile and begins to praise Ethel, "although Ethel is not very excellent, she is gentle and gracious. Besides, she has a fate that would bring good luck to her husband!" Fortune telling is hard to distinguish the genuine or fake, but in the presence of Mrs. Murphy, she must say some good things for Ethel.
When hearing this, Ethel shows a little embarrassment. "Mom, don't say it out. It will be known naturally when Kenny's business is smoother in the future!"
Mrs. Murphy looks at Ethel's affectation, and despises her. Ethel is obviously very proud, but she is still acting.
"Our Ethel has good personality. She is gentle and gracious. Most importantly, she has filial piety. She will treat her mother-in-law as well as us in the future."
Mrs. Murphy is deeply disgusted by their hypocrisy. Although she is simple, she is not stupid. She knows Hilda was boasting about her daughter.
If Ethel is really so good, how come Kenny not like her?
