Harold kicked the room door open, put his hands on his waist, and yelled, “My mommy isn‘t a member
of the Daugherty family. Why should she care about them? Besides, my mommy isn‘t a joke. Aunt
Mandy, stop talking nonsense!”
Mandy looked extremely embarrassed . She had not just been caught bad–mouthing, but a four–year–
old kid was also pointing at her face and reprimanding her. She pursed her lips. Just as she was about
to speak, Alden beat her to it.
He looked at the pale Mabel.
“Grandma, you clearly know that Aunt Mandy is wrong. Why didn‘t you stop her?”
Mabel‘s heart trembled when Alden stared at her.
She sighed before she said, “We were talking about another family. It has nothing to do with your
mommy. You‘ve misheard us.”
“Grandma, Mommy really isn‘t a member of the Daugherty family.” Melody blinked and said, “Mommy‘s
biological father is my grandpa, Dillon Jones. He‘ll hold a reunion banquet in three days. You‘re sick, so
you can‘t go, but Aunt Mandy can go.”
The girl‘s voice was soft, but she sounded firm.
Mabel was stunned.She did not know about such an important matter.
The reunion banquet would be held in three days, and she, the mother–in–law, actually did not know
who her daughter–in–law‘s biological father was.
Clearly, Addy had no plans to invite her.
Mabel closed her eyes. “All of you may leave. I‘m a little tired now.”
Mandy was surrounded by the kids, and she could not handle them. She stood up without taking a sip
of the tea and said, “Mabel, please rest well. I‘ll leave first. I‘ll come again and talk to you in a few
days.”
With that, Mandy turned around and left.
George stood beside the bed and spoke with a straight face. “Daddy has just been back for a few days.
There are still signs of Earl Winters power in the Winters family, as well as Winters Corporation, and
there are many crises to handle . Mommy doesn‘t plan on inviting anyone from the Winters family. So,
she didn‘t invite Daddy and you, Grandma.”
That was an explanation.
Mabel nodded. “I know. You can step out first.” The children left the room and gently closed the door.
When Adina saw the kids come downstairs, she casually asked, “Why did Aunt Mandy leave when you
went upstairs?”
“Mommy, don‘t talk to Aunt Mandy anymore.” Harold pouted and said, “She bad–mouthed about you in
front of Grandma!”
Adina was stunned. “Badmouthed me?”
“Yes, she talked badly about you. She‘s a bad person. She‘s a witch!” Harold huffed. “We won‘t
welcome her to our home again!”
Adina chuckled and shook her head. “She‘s your grandma‘s guest. If your grandma wants to see her,
she‘ll still be able to come to our house.”
She already knew what Mandy had said about her before the kids told her.
After all, about twenty days ago, she had intentionally done a lot of bad things that ended up on the
news to deal with Earl.
The negative press had roughly affected the Winters family as well.
Mandy must have said something in front of Mabel, and the children happened to hear it. They must
have said something bad that made Mandy leave angrily. Adina did not mind it. As she picked some
vegetables with the kids, Duke returned.
