Chapter 170 Something Is Wrong
Kenny’s brow furrowed. His grandmother hadn’t been this kind of person before. She often educated them to abide by the law and not to act recklessly relying on their family connections.
She knew Abbey was wrong, yet she still insisted on protecting that girl.
Even went so far as to slander the victim?
Oliva’s expression was cold as she slammed down her cup, instantly chilling the atmosphere around her. She retorted, “Are you lecturing -me?”
Kenny didn’t understand, “I didn’t mean that. I just…”
“Did you just like that Myrna?”
She was sharp–tongued, her words piercing through Kenny’s little scheme, laying it bare under the sunlight.
There were still outsiders here.
Kenny’s handsome face was both hot and restless, his fists clenched tightly.
He didn’t have the courage to admit directly that he had fallen for a girl several years younger than him: “It has nothing to do with that, I just think what you’re doing is wrong.”
Oliva slammed the table hard, her face filled with fury, “Impudent, it’s not your turn to lecture me, is it!”
Chapter 170 Something Is Wrong
Others were busy persuading the grandmother and grandchild not to
argue anymore.
It wasn’t worth it for a little girl.
“I made things clear with you today.
Oliva wore a high–collared, buttoned–up, modified cheongsam today, which was made of velvet purple satin and meticulously embroidered. with peonies, exuding nobility and elegance. She also wore a circle of agate–green jade necklace around her neck, radiating a powerful aura. With a calm face, her temperament, refined by the years, was incomparable to Kenny’s.
“I didn’t fancy that girl, you’d better give up on this idea!”
Kenny’s heart suddenly sank, disregarding his own image, he widened his eyes in an attempt to argue, “Grandma, this is my own business.”
“It’s also the Herring family’s business.” Oliva interrupted him, “You were born in our family, you had everything you wanted since you were a child. Your marriage is not just your own business. That girl has no manners, I absolutely won’t allow her to step foot in our house!”
“You don’t need to ask me to plead for her anymore. I’m telling you, this matter won’t be over unless she apologizes to me.”
Kenny couldn’t understand how she had become so obsessed with this matter concerning Myrna.
The Herring family had always been ruled by his grandmother. He wanted to help Myrna, but he didn’t know how to stand up against his own–grandmother.
“Abbey, I was definitely going to release her. As for those online. public opinions, if she came over and apologized to me properly, I could consider having those press releases retracted.”

Chapter 170 Something is Whong
Oliva spoke slowly, full of confidence. After all, she had been around for decades longer than Myrna, having consumed more salt than the other had rice.
She didn’t intend to deliberately make things difficult for the younger generation, it was just that the Payne family didn’t educate their children properly, and as an old neighbor, she stepped in to help them
out.
She was waiting for that arrogant and ignorant Myrna to come to her door and apologize!
She had just finished scolding Kenny when Adam Herring suddenly rushed in, frantic. Seeing her, he didn’t even notice the other people in the house, and with a pale, anxious face, he said to her, “Mom, something’s happened.”
Oliva saw that there were still people at home. They, father and son. ran to her one by one as if they had seen a ghost. She said irritably, “You’re such a big man, how can you be as reckless as your son. What happened that could make you so anxious?”
Adam‘ took a deep breath, his brows furrowed as he said, “I just heard the news, the prosecution has gotten involved in the Melcester Central High School incident.”
“What did you say?” Oliva sprang up, realizing the gravity of the situation, and immediately had someone see the guests out.
After all the guests at home had left.
With a distressed look on her face, she pressed her son for answers, “What happened? Everything was going well, how did someone interfere?”
