Heart Hunting

Chapter 79

Mrs. Hughes gets anxious. She pulls Mrs. Turner's sleeve and asks, "what shall we do?"

Poppy's hearing is as good as a hawk. When she hears Mrs. Hughes's words, she offers them a

solution. "Apologize to Mrs. Murphy one by one, and I'll pretend it never happened."

"We didn't do anything wrong. Why apologize?" Mrs. Turner, who usually bullies Mrs. Murphy, is very

angry. She thinks herself is also a great lady, why should she apologize to that pushover.

"So you're not gonna apologize?" Poppy turns to Mrs. Murphy and says, "Mrs. Murphy, please call the

police."

Mrs. Murphy doesn't expect Poppy to be so serious about this, she blinks with a little confused. She is

reluctant to make the thing become a gossip.

Poppy gives Mrs. Murphy a hint with her eyes. Mrs. Murphy immediately understands it and takes out

her cell phone.

Poppy adds, "Mrs. Murphy, I remember you have the phone number of Sir Leo? Just call him! Call 911

to let the police to deal with this kind of thing. And these three ladies must be punished severely."

Even a fool can understand the real meaning of her words. With the personal relationship, the police

will surely detain them in the station for Mrs. Murphy's sake.

"OK, I'll call him right away!" Mrs. Murphy is very cooperative. She searches the phone number in the

contact list.

Their action succeeds in terrifying Mrs. Perry. "Well...Mrs. Murphy, I'm so sorry! I won't gossip about

your family any more, and I won't cheat you intentionally when playing cards. This thing is nothing to do

with me."

Mr. Hughes also apologizes. "Mrs. Murphy, I'm sorry that I said those words just now. It is my fault. I

won't say it any more, and I won't mention your husband again. Please forgive me."

Mrs. Turner looks at the other two ladies. She is speechless and feel disappointed with them. How

spineless they are.

Poppy smiles and looks at Mrs. Murphy. "Mrs. Murphy, are you satisfied with their apology?"

What she means is that if you are not satisfied, I can make it better.

Mrs. Murphy is really flattered. She was bullied by them before. And she never thought that she can get

an apology from them. "All right. Just don't deceive me when playing cards next time."

Poppy then asks, "do you all hear Mrs. Murphy?"

The two ladies nod their heads. Poppy smiles again. "A wise man submits to fate. You're not stupid, but

this lady..." Poppy glances at Mrs. Turner, "seems really wants to taste the food in prison..."

She says significantly. And Mrs. Hughes can't help persuading, "Mrs. Turner, be calm for a while. Do

you really want to be detained in the bureau?"

"Yeah, we were wrong just now. Mrs. Murphy is usually very good to us. She even lent us her

expensive jewelry. We really shouldn't do that to her." Mrs. Perry adds.

Mrs. Turner looked at the two 'fence-sitters'. She feels angry but helpless. After a deadlock, Poppy

doesn't want to wait any longer. She says to Mrs. Murphy, "Mrs. Murphy, call the police. Let's get it

done quickly, I don't want to waste time on such a woman..."

"I, am, sorry!" Mrs. Turner gnashes her teeth and apologizes reluctantly.

Poppy snorts, "is that your attitude to apologize? We don't owe you anything. Don't act like a creditor."

With relying on Poppy, Mrs. Murphy's courage gradually grows. "If you're unwilling to apologize, just

don't."

“Mrs. Turner, please...” The other two ladies kept persuading. They want a peaceful solution.

Mrs. Turner takes a deep breath and eases her tone, “I’m Sorry."

"Smile a little." Poppy is being fussy on purpose. "Who would apologize with no sincere smile?"

Mrs. Turner smiles stiffly, and says again. "I am sorry!"

"Is it because your face had injected hyaluronic acid so that you can't smile? A standard smile must

show eight teeth, do it again!"

Mrs. Murphy watches Poppy reprimand Mrs. Turner over and over again. She feels quite satisfied and

is more and more admiring Poppy.

The other two ladies feels it funny that Mrs. Turner really makes a fool of herself this time. And

fortunately, they have apologized to Mrs. Murphy right away just now, otherwise... it would be them to

make a show of themselves.

After several times of being criticized, Mrs. Turner finally compromises. She shows a stiff smile which is NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

uglier than crying, and apologizes with a sobbing tone. "I am sorry, Mrs. Murphy, I'm really sorry. I won't

dare to bully you any more."

Poppy looks back at Mrs. Murphy and asks, "Mrs. Murphy, are you satisfied with her apology?"

"Yes." Mrs. Murphy is kindhearted. Seeing Mrs. Turner, who is at the same age as herself, be kicked

ass by Poppy, she feels that Mrs. Turner is really pathetic.

Poppy calls in a waiter. "Go find your manager."

The waiter is puzzled, but when he looks at Poppy, he knows that he can not offend this customer. So

he immediately goes to the manager.

The manager comes over. He is a middle-aged man, short and fat, with a gentle and polite smile on his

face, looking very approachable. He asks, "miss, what's the matter?"

"What the hell did you do? We don't know these women, but they insist to sit here. We don't like to

share one table." Poppy's deceptive ability is truly amazing.

The manager is shocked for a moment. If he didn't see it wrong, these women have been sitting here

for a long while. Why does this lady deny to know them?

"If you can't deal with it, then we'll have no choice but to go. Anyway, there are still some dishes that

haven't been served. It's been 25 minutes. We have the right to cancel the those orders and leave."

Poppy says.

"Don't worry, miss. I'll ask someone to send them away. And we'll serve the rest dishes as soon as

possible." The manager looks at their order list. It has really been more than 25 minutes.

"Then be quick! They are all fat and make me have no appetite." Poppy stands there with her hands

crossed. She can't be so prideful if she has no confidence.

"Yes, yes!" The manager, who has been very polite, immediately calls for the security.

The three ladies' faces all become stormy. It can be assured that the shame they have suffered today is

more impressive than that of ever before.

After their leaving, Mrs. Murphy breathes a sigh of relief. She holds Poppy's hand excitedly. "Poppy, I

adore you so much!"

Her eyes are brighter than the stars. And she thinks, "I like this girl so much. If she can marry Kenny in

the future, then I can go out to play cards with her. Not only will I not have to be bullied by those ladies,

but I can also win.

Poppy smiles. "Doesn't Kenny know you've been usually bullied by them?"

Mrs. Murphy suddenly loses her confidence. "I... I didn't tell him."

He is usually busy, and Mrs. Murphy thinks he doesn't need to know these trivial things.

"Then it's your fault. Those people just now are obviously on purpose. You're so easy to be humiliated."

Poppy suddenly speaks to her in an educational tone.

Mrs. Murphy nods and answers, "I see, I will... learn from you."

"Well, that's not necessary. I'm such a villain. Don't learn from me, or you'll be hated." Poppy laughs at

herself.

"No, it's not! I think you are very good, and also very capable!" Especially when she was dealing with

those ladies, Mrs. Murphy gradually changes her opinion for Poppy. She begins to think that whether

she was too bad with Poppy before, because she often calls her little fox spirit.

"Didn't you say I was a bad woman? It's so naive of you to change your opinion for me just because of

such a matter." Poppy shakes her head, and takes the coconut juice to took a sip. Then she adds, "you

don't need to like me. I did with ulterior motives. Don't think I'm really kind to you."

Mrs. Murphy feels a little depressed. "Don't say that about yourself. I know you are a good person."

But Poppy denies, "no, I'm a bad person, totally a bad one." She is not used to being liked and

regarded as a good person by others.

Her heart has been dark for a long time. It's impossible for her to be kind. Poppy thinks.

Mrs. Murphy mutters, "if I'm as powerful as you, I won't have to be bullied in the future."

The reason why Mrs. Murphy is so simple and kindhearted is that Kenny protects her very well. If she

lives in the condition like Poppy's...Poppy’s eyes turn gloomy...

Just a second later, she restrains the vicious expression in her eyes, and says, "no, Mrs. Murphy, you

should always be simple and kind. And you should believe..." She pauses. "that virtue is its own

reward."

Poppy can't help but think of her mother. And her heart starts to feel pain again...

Mrs. Murphy looks at her with a little confused. She has just caught a trace of sadness in Poppy's eyes.

What happened to her? Why is she suddenly sad?

However, after this thing, she is more and more fond of Poppy. Mrs. Murphy thinks that she has to

figure out a way to help promote the relationship Poppy with Kenny, and let them marry each other.
