    Granny Reba went on, “After that incident, I had Nelly keep going to school in Riverton, and that


    ticked off a lot of people who weren’t even rted to us.


    “Once Nelly left, a bunch of folks showed up at our house, going on about how Nelly’s reputation was


    ruined. They told me to find a man for Nelly to marry. They said there was no use for her to go to


    school anymore, no amount of learning would do her any good, and no man would want a woman with


    a bad reputation.


    “They even introduced a man who was old, crippled, and abusive. His previous wifemitted suicide


    because she couldn’t stand his abuse. They even had the audacity to try to set Nelly up with this kind


    of man, saying he was willing to marry Nelly and that she should be grateful for his kindness.


    “I was so mad that I kicked them all out of my house. They never dared toe and bother me again,


    but they started spreading more and more nasty rumors about Nelly.


    “Some even threatened that either Nelly marries that man, or she’ll never be able to get married. I


    never told Nelly about these words, I was afraid it would hurt her.”

    Just hearing about this, Marcus was already livid, he wished he could punish those people right there


    and then, “Granny, I promise, no one will talk about Nelly like that again.”


    Granny Reba asked, “How can you guarantee? There are too many gossip mongers in town. Last


    year when Nelly came home to take care of me, there were still people causing trouble for her. Some


    used the previous incident to nder her, to insult her.”


    Hearing this, Marcus felt ashamed, “Granny, I’m sorry!”


    At that time. Nelly was already his wife. He should have been there for her, but he misunderstood her,


    and when she needed him the most, he wasn’t there.


    Granny Reba said, “You didn’t know Nelly then, and there’s nothing for you to apologize for! It’s my


    fault that I wasn’t able to protect her, that’s why that incident happened. I could have stayed with Nelly


    during the holidays, but I didn’t, I left her alone at home…”


    Marcus replied, “Granny, it’s not your fault. The ones to me are those who framed Nelly, who


    ndered her. It’s been so many years, and you shouldn’t me yourself anymore. You should forget


    the past with Nelly, and live each day of the future well.”


    Granny Reba’s eyes welled up with tears again, “Nelly and I want to forget the past, but some


    people just won’t let us. Why do people still bring up that incident after so many years? Why do they


    still bring out those photos? Do they want Nelly to die before they’re satisfied?”


    Hearing the word “die“, Marcus felt a searing pain in his heart, “Granny, as long as I’m here, no one can


    hurt Nelly.”


    Granny Reba asked, “Marc, do you know who posted those photos?”


    Marcus replied, “I’ve found out.”


    Granny Reba asked, “Who is it?”


    Marcus replied, “It’s ir, the wife of Granger Reese from the Reese family in Riverton.”


    Hearing this name, Granny Reba was shocked, “ir? You mean the person who posted Nelly’s


    photos online is ir?”


    Marcus asked, “Granny, do you know her?”


    Granny Reba paused for a moment and quickly denied, “No! I’ve only been in Riverton for a short


    while, how could I know her?”


    Granny Reba looked a bit flustered, Marcus saw everything but didn’t ask further, “No matter who


    she is, I will make her pay for everything she’s done.”

    Hearing this, worry shed across Granny Reba’s eyes again, “Marc, about this…”
